Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun

Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond
You were caught in the cross fire of childhood and stardom
blown on the steel breeze
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon
you cried for the moon
Shine on you crazy diamond
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed to the light
shine on you crazy diamond
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision
Rode on the steel breeze
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

I know most people listen to Pink Floyd and see it as dated and old...but it will always be as fresh and new as anything to me. It speaks to a part of me like nothing else. I can't explain it.

Anyhoozle. the reason I'm posting: I need to pick everyone's brain. Whom among us has received speeding tickets and has gone to court to fight it? I'm facing this on Wednesday and am growing more and more freaked out.
Back on October 25th I was leaving home to pick up Mr. Tim and go to a Halloween Party (and wearing a slinky red dress and fishnets and a shoulder length Jessica Rabbit wig and devil horns and far too much makeup) in my brand new (and very zippy) car and found myself getting closer to the onramp of the interstate...wearing ridiculously high heels that made my foot plantar flex...running late as usual....going 23 miles over the speed limit. I noticed it and reduced speed just as a cop car did a U turn and followed me for a hundred yards and proceeded to turn on his lights. I pulled over, was polite and didn't argue and tried to make my dress slit not open all the way up to my hip as I was talking...yes sir...no sir....I'm sorry sir.....(WHY THE HELL AM I WEARING THIS!?)....(if I get a ticket I can't afford to pay for it)...(let alone the skyrocketed insurance rates I'll have to cover).....(why did I have to pull over in front of On The Border? Good god there's a lot of cars going in there. Ooh. That stripper has cool hair)....Long story short I got a 127 dollar ticket and 6 points off my license.
As of now I'm planning on pleading 'no contest' and asking for the judge's leniency since this is my first offense. I'm going to request for a ticket and point reduction and for it not to be on my record because my insurance will go above my means. I will say I had a new car and was not used to it yet, I had noticed I was speeding and reduced to the speed limit but it was too late and I was very close to the onramp to the interstate.

Sound OK? Help guys. I'm shakin in my boots here. GOD I hope they're tired and want to go home. My assigned time is 6:00 PM. You KNOW they're gonna be rearin to get out of there, right? ugh. help. me. please.

I still hate my sister for getting free tix to the sneak preview of Return of the King tomorrow. Lucky bizzach. I have to wait till the 19th. wah.
Although I will have Pirates to keep me company whilst I wait....
