virginia : lovers :: livejournal : insomniacs
i think i found a car and i'm so excited i can't sleep. i went to bed at 10 and here i am, fidgety and high-strung as can be. i just drove by and looked at/in it today (i think it's fate that it's like less than a mile from my house... everything else has been in goddamned mesa) b/c she was out of town, and it's clean and cute. white ext, dark grey (or black, hard to tell... i hope with all my BEING that it's not black) int, auto, power (you'd be surprised how many cars do not have power windows/door locks. what kind of neanderthal do they think i am???), 2002, clean title... i dunno what else... cd. airbags. ac. rear window defroster (that's very important, you know), rear window defogger (that's right, folks, one for fog and one for frost. beat THAT). it's priced a little over value right now, but the lady is desperate, so you better believe that we will work out a deal. "it just needs to be gone" were her words.
1. meet lady at 10
2. test drive car (please, god, i will not say the f-word for a month if you make its interior ANYTHING but black. please.)
3. take car to mechanic
4. mechanic ok's car and gives me a list of paltry things it needs (but i probably won't get replaced until it's a desperate situation) that i show her in order to
5. successfully negotiate a fair price
6. get money
7. get title exchanged
8. have car
i've never bought a car before... am i missing anything?
i truly am giddy with excitement.
this is a whole new WORLD for me
phoenix.craigslist.com is the most amazing website ever. ef ikea, i'm getting whatever furniture i still need after all my relatives dump theirs on me. just don't go to the "free stuff" section b/c it's just a bunch of people giving away their pets and it'll make you so so sad.
so i watched the season finale of the hills. i know, lame, shut up. i can't help it, it's like the law and order of mtv. it's ALWAYS ON. in fact, it's starting to surpass law and order b/c usually it's between the hills and a law and order i've already seen 3.5 times. i've never seen a new episode when it was new (except for this one,) it just always happens to be the only thing on when i'm watching tv. so naturally, i've seen every single one. lauren totally stayed in la for the summer with jason when she had an INTERNSHIP with PARIS VOGUE!!! what the HELL, lauren?!? man, i was so angry. what the hell are we teaching our young women, mtv? "your stupid boyfriend (who, btw, isn't exceptionally sweet, cute, funny, smart, OR any number of other redeeming qualities) is way more important than your dreams. it's not like you're only 19-20 and your whole life is ahead of you or anything. it's not like he'll be there when you get back and if he really loved you, he could wait for 3 months, and if he can't it's better you find out now than when you've been with him for 5 years and you're jaded and pregnant and he's aloof and unfaithful. no, no. when you find that mediocre guy that you could be satisfied with, don't you let him go. now go put some gold booty shorts on and shake it." mtv, that's it, you are NO LONGER my moral compass. and you, LC. you are do dumb sometimes that i can't even believe it.
