Topic #52: Describe the best road trip you’ve ever taken. If you’re feeling all glass half empty, the worst road trip. Or describe a road trip you’d like to take and why you want to take it.

This question is difficult to answer seeing as I don’t really like road trips in the first place. I hate being in a car for an extended period of time, especially because I get dizzy and can’t really do anything except talk. Even then, I usually don’t talk much in the car because I’m on the verge of getting carsick and my brain feels like it’s going to implode.

It’s also difficult to answer because I haven’t really been on many road trips in the first place. I’m pretty sure I’ve driven extended periods of time to far-away places before, but I don’t really recall them as memorable road trips that fit the definition of what a road trip actually is.

If I had to pick the worst road trip out of my limited choices, I would pick any road trip during which I got sick or threw up (which is most likely all of them).

There aren’t any road trips that I would like to take because I generally avoid traveling via car as much as possible. I have a tendancy to get sick even during short trips, and I think I’ve been so psycho­logically terrorized by how sick I get in a car that I even start getting slightly dizzy merely by sitting in the car and not even going anywhere. My dad says that a good way to avoid getting carsick is to be the driver rather than the passenger, but that doesn’t really work for me either.

Stupid Desk Lamp

My desk lamp keeps flickering and it’s driving me insane.

I tried punching it a few times but I think that only made it worse…

UPDATE: To all of you asking or wondering, no, there’s nothing wrong with the electricity in my apartment, it’s just the light bulb that randomly decided to start malfunctioning.

UPDATE 2: I filed a work order with my apartment’s front desk, and someone from the maintenance team came in to replace the light bulb, and it’s working fine now.
