fridakahlolover: how was your court date?
m t e 85: oh man
m t e 85: insane!
m t e 85: this morning was ridiculous
m t e 85: not so much the court part
m t e 85: but the getting to court part
m t e 85: like, allan and i took allan's mom's car
m t e 85: and then iw as like "oh shit... how am i gonna get home?"
m t e 85: because allan can't drive.. no license
m t e 85: and his mom needed the car to get to work
m t e 85: so like, we pull into the driveway at my dad's house
m t e 85: so i could see if there was a number i could call or something about the ticket
m t e 85: but there wasn't
fridakahlolover: i thought your grandpa was goign to take u
m t e 85: yeah
m t e 85: but the issue was that if he came and picked me up from my dad's house
m t e 85: allan would be stranded there
fridakahlolover: right
m t e 85: and his mother wouldn't be able to get to work
m t e 85: so, we debate over what to do
m t e 85: and i really don't want to call my grandparents and tell them to pick me up at allan's
m t e 85: because they're 83 and can't handle new directions
m t e 85: and italian
m t e 85: so
m t e 85: i end up calling, because i have no other choice
m t e 85: and it's like a half hour phone call
m t e 85: trying to give them directions to allan's house
m t e 85: when it's a left, a left, and another left
m t e 85: SO SIMPLE
fridakahlolover: lol
m t e 85: but they made such a hassle of it
m t e 85: so finally my grandmother's like "okay i'm gonna come get you because your grandfather has a doctor's appointmetn"
fridakahlolover: lol
m t e 85: so we hang up
m t e 85: and then i go run into the house to change
m t e 85: and we come back out, and i start the car so we acn go to allan's house
m t e 85: AND THE CAR'S DEAD
m t e 85: the battery died
fridakahlolover: oh god
m t e 85: yeah
m t e 85: so we're like FUCK
m t e 85: so allan calls his dad to see if he can come get us/jump the battery
m t e 85: but he's in a meeting
m t e 85: so we call paul
m t e 85: but he doens't answer
m t e 85: so we call emily
m t e 85: but we woke her up and she had to go to work
m t e 85: so we were like ARGH
m t e 85: the last person we wanted to call was allan's mom
fridakahlolover: boo
m t e 85: but
m t e 85: we ended up calling allan's mom
m t e 85: and she was PISSED
m t e 85: but, she takes her husband's car and allan gives her directions to my house and she takes off
m t e 85: then, i call my grandparents back to inform them that the car died
m t e 85: so i call
m t e 85: and my grandfather's liek "your grandmother already lft"
m t e 85: and iw as like SHIT
m t e 85: so, we're stuck in my driveway and my grandmother is on her way over to alaln's house where i told her i would stand out front to make sure she didn't get lost
m t e 85: and we're waiting for allan's mom, who is mega-pissed
m t e 85: but then i see this guy across the street through the woods wiht a truck
m t e 85: so i run over and i'm like "hey, do you have jumper cables?"
m t e 85: and he does!
m t e 85: so he drives his truck over
m t e 85: and jumps the car
m t e 85: and just as the car turns on, allan's mom pulls into the driveway
fridakahlolover: lol
m t e 85: so she drove all that way for nothing
m t e 85: so it's been like an hour s ince my grandmother left
m t e 85: and she doesn't have a cell phone because she's old
fridakahlolover: lol
m t e 85: so!
m t e 85: we're on the way to allan's house
m t e 85: and it's been like an hour
fridakahlolover: right
m t e 85: and we assumed that she had probably given up on me by now
m t e 85: and gone back home
m t e 85: but on the way, i get this call on my phone
m t e 85: and it's a number i don't recognize
m t e 85: and it's my grandmother
m t e 85: and some guy let her borrow his cell phone to call me
m t e 85: and she's like
m t e 85: I'M LOST
m t e 85: she was at the glenmont price chopper
m t e 85: which is literally 30 seconds from where allan lives
m t e 85: so we drop off allan's mom's car
m t e 85: and allan's mom drops me off at price chopper
m t e 85: and my grandmother's like "i could shoot you!"
m t e 85: and, it turns out
fridakahlolover: lol
m t e 85: while all this was goign on
m t e 85: my grandfather had actually left
m t e 85: and come to my dad's house
fridakahlolover: LOL
m t e 85: because he thought i was gonna be stranded
m t e 85: so then HE was there all by himself
m t e 85: and almost missed his doctor's appointment
fridakahlolover: well, it's good for old ppl to have some excitement
m t e 85: haha yeah
m t e 85: so it was a ridiculous morning
m t e 85: court? lasted about half an hour
m t e 85: got the charge reduced to a parking violation
m t e 85: $50
