one day left

[thehefner]

Tomorrow's my court date. *shudder*. I'm gonna work up a draft of what I'm gonna say. I'm still scared, because it was reckless driving, first offense or no first offense, and I just really really don't want them points. Any of them. I'm preparing to be reamed out by the judge, and hoping he/she will be understanding and compassionate. My experience with figures of government and authority has me half-expecting to get Judge Ratched.

Any final words of advice/comfort would be much appreciated (I've been using that word way too much recently. Where's the Goddamned thesarus?!)

Dunno what to tell you, my friend; pleading 'nolo contendere' got me a smile from the judge, but it also got me the maximum possible fine when I was standing in your shoes. I don't know what works, and I only have a dim sense of what doesn't. All I can tell you is that no matter how badly it goes tomorrow, there will be a next day, and a day after that, and this will be a distant memory soon enough. This too shall pass.
