Traffic Criclescirclescircles...

I need help.

I had a run in with a very angry driver last night on Delaware Ave. It wasn't pleasant. I had dropped a friend off at home around midnight last night and on the way home I almost got into two accidents. One of them was a lovely man who decided to run the stop light at Allen and Delaware, the second was... duh duh duuuuuh... the traffic circle! Gates Circle- I've always loved it, but I always hate driving around it. No matter what I do I almost get into an accident.

So here is the story.

Drop friend off out on Pearl Street. Turn around, come home Delaware. Avoid evil driver at Allen. Approach Gates Circle with four other cars. I have to turn down Lafayette and the other four cars are in both lanes going fast, obviously planning on continuing down Delaware. (MAP TO: 33%20GATES%20CIRCLE) I tried to get them all to pass me so I could have open access to the circle, but no. One evil driver decided to get on the inside of the circle. I had to stay on the outside and manage to get all the way over to Lafayette. Next thing I know I'm hearing his horn blaring in my ear. What a jerk. I understand that he thinks I'm to blame for my bad driving, but he obviously doesn't understand how difficult it can be to turn down this street.

Ok, my pity party is done. If anyone knows the actual traffic laws for traffic circles please share with me. The last thing I want right now is another ticket!

City Life

I saw a sticker on a light post at Delaware Ave by Gates Circle. [Estrip.ORG]... What on earth? So here I am!

An entire lifetime spent in Western New York, but now, at 25 I move to Elmwood Village! I moved here last weekend- It's bittersweet in a way. I moved out here to be closer to my friends, and now that I made the move they're all moving away.

I need to meet people, and to be quite honest I think I've forgotten how to. I am a loner in a way, I guess I've always marched to the beat of my own drum- but in a very classic sort of way. I speak my mind and do as I please, and I manage to offend people by doing so. I come off bold, sarcastic, and snobby- but you'll see through my posts that I am witty, intelligent, and obsessed with the well being of others. I am real, just like everyone else... I've posted blogs in the past with great response- So sit back and get ready for the time of your life. I'm looking forward to being able to share my thoughts and life again!

Thanks estrip.gov! I love Elmwood strip, I always have. Now that I'm here I hope to make the most of it!
