I bet you did, Jo! And by the way, you do look a great deal like Evan Rachel Wood, especially that picture in the 2nd page (I think...) of the celebrity thread

Thanks, guys!!!! Well, I've just got off the phone with my lawyer - he was a bit later calling than he said, because of a few delays in court. So, here's the news....... The deal he got me avoided the possibility of any jail time - in theory, I could have done a minimum of 48 hours in an orange suit, but it's very rare anyone on a first offence does. What I have got is the mandatory 6 months license suspension - so no driving in California until April next year (I can still drive here in the UK on my UK license, which is unaffected by this.....). I've also got to do one of those three month long alcohol education classes, the same as Mischa has had to do. As I spend most of the year in the UK, it will be very hard for me to do a course based in California, so it's been agreed that I can do an equivalent course here in Manchester - which will be a big help to me, as doing one in California would probably mean me having to quit my course here at uni..... However, as the prosecution has made what's really quite a big concession with the course, and OK'd me doing it here in the UK, I've also had to make a concession, and agree to pay the maximum fine of $1,000. But, on top of that, there's all the "penalty fees" they apply to it, so I've actually got to pay a total of $2,700. And finally, I've got three years unsupervised probation - so I've got to try and be a good girl until at least October 2011!!! Oh, and they very kindly(!!!!) let me off the fine for the broken tail-light I was originally stopped for!!!....... So that's it - apart from a few papers I need to sign, which my lawyer is sending over to me - it's all over. And I think it's an understatement to say that I feel quite relieved that it is. And what am I going to do now? Well, first things first - I think I need a drink!!!! ;D (And then I've got to call my mom and dad to let them know....)

CONGRATS (?), Jo! It sounds like it turned out the way you expected. Just think, if Meesh had her D.U.I. at the same time as you, you could have been in the same class.

Mischa: "thanks....hey, did we do some tv show together you and I?" *head scratch* Thanks, everyone!! And yes, Irvin, it's pretty much the deal my lawyer thought he could get for me - although he did think he may have been able to get me a smaller fine. (I had the choice of avoiding jail time by taking the three years probation, or alternatively doing 96 hours in jail and then having no probation - But you know what? Orange just isn't my colour!!! ;D) Meeting Mischa on the course??? I don't think that would have happened. For one thing, Mischa's course would have been in LA, while mine would have been in Marin County, which is about 400 miles away....... And that's not quite the way I'd like to meet Mischa!!
