You live in NJ and you don't know how to tell distance and time it would take to get somewhere by Turnpike exit?

I also don't know where that exit is.

Is it less bad if I only got my driver's permit today?

It is, you have much to learn young padawan.
Take your towns exit number, all numbers higher than it are north of you all lower as south.

Makes sense. Then I just have to learn my town's exit number.

Google it.
"What is (insert your town's name here) exit on the NJ Turnpike?"
Or ask your parents.

Is the Turnpike essentially supposed to bring you to the edge of a town, or to another highway that brings you to the town?

I believe I'm what is commonly known as a n00b.

It'll chuck you onto a another, smaller, highway near your town. For example, it'll put me on either RT 1, RT 27, or County Road 514 depending on which of the exits surrounding my town I get off of.

Ok, I just wanted to make sure my town wasn't so small that there's no way to get here directly from the Turnpike.

The directions say I'm exit 14A.

So you live in Jersey City?

These say 14A will bring you to I-78. Off I-78, I'm exit 41.

Scotch Plains?

That sounds about right.

Maybe these directions are wrong. Hold on I'll find better a better set.

Word of advice, tomorrow get in the car with a GPS, put on (And this is very important) The Gaslight Anthem. Go for a drive and get lost, then try and find your way home. If you can't after a couple of hours, use the GPS.
I did it once from 15 minutes away from my house. Ended up an hour away in Neptune City. Great adventure. Do this and you will be on your way to being a true NJ driver.

I like The Gaslight Anthem.

Can't happen for two reasons:
1. With a driver's permit, I have to have a licensed driver in the car with me. I don't think I can find someone willing to just sit in the car while I get lost.
2. Tomorrow's Father's Day and I'm going into the city.

I am proud of your choice in music.
Find time at some point, or just wait till you get your liscence to do it.

Probably will wait for the license. I'm not too great at driving yet either. Need some practice before I can afford to get lost.

You heard of Titus Andronicus?

Nope.

They're from Glen Rock. I think you might like them, considering you like The Gaslight Anthem.

I wonder why that is.

I'm not a very popular person.

He's calming down. He'll banish the rat after it's done fucking the dehydrated mermaid.

Running out of post i can reply to.

tried summoning the lord of ass skittles. Seems that i woke him up, and he's in a rather grumpy mood.

I've been in a similar situation before. Just give him some of the ass skittles and he'll be okay.

It's allright. the leprechauns are telling be it's completely normal. Although the rat laughing maniacly from the edge of my desk is a bit alarming.

Once the rats start laughing you're screwed. Just summon the lord of ass-skittles and he'll banish the rats.

too late.

Damn. Now you've tasted the rainbow.

I can hear the different hues of the rainbow.

That's probably not good.

Well, it's cold as the north pole and more rainy than the sad scene in a movie (bad comparison, but its 5 am so yeah.)

Then Orlando should be a nice change of pace.

Can't sleep?

interdasting. i guess ill find out.

Well, I've always wanted to travel to America, and to practice my english freely. So we decided to spend 3 weeks of the summer in orlando. Now the whole fricken' family is leaving for Orlando in a matter of days.

That sounds like a good time. It should be pretty warm. I don't know what it's like in Norway though, so I can't really make a comparison.

Ah, thanks. I'll start downloading some now.

No problem. Can I ask why you're embarking on this trip?

I can see we have a similar taste of movies.

How so?

i've seen most of the movies here before.

Which ones haven't you seen?

John Dies At The End
Primer
Moonrise Kingdom
Looper
Argo
Indie Game: The Movie
Ironclad
Tucker And Dale Vs. Evil (i think)
Children Of Men

What kind of movie/s do you want to watch on the ride?

So far i've chosen:
Children of men
John dies at the end
Ironclan
Anchorman
The shining

Also accounting for the wait for the plane and the mid landing in london

Good thinking. You could also download other ones once you get to Orlando for the ride back, should you make it through all those movies by the time you leave.

That's the plan. Looking forwards to traveling now.

Have a good trip.

Thanks.

Thanks. I'm leaving from stavanger airport.

I've found that it probably takes between 6-8 hours to fly from Norway to the USA (I just used random locations, which is what accounts for the gap. It could be longer or shorter depending on the exact locations of where you're leaving and going).

Assuming each movie is more or less two hours long, you could could watch around three or four movies, if that's all you want to do.

Ah, thanks. I'll start downloading some now.

there is a documentary about her

I will watch this soon. Thanks.

No.

Ok.

I'm exit 131 on the Turnpike.

If only I had a clue about how far that is from me.

Uh. Give me your location and I'll help you with that maybe?

Google Maps has informed me that we are an hour and twenty minutes away from each other.

What city are you in?

Just outside of Westfield.
