yesterday was SUCH a downer.
today is a little better.
it's all about positive energy. (that sounds extremely lame.)
after my run in with mario the angel/devil, my car has suffered a
"fatal" flaw. yesterday, coming home from a pissy day at work where my
co-workers made snide remarks about me (because they are meeeean.) my
car's breaks decided well, they'd had enough. i suppose their tired of
getting up at 5am too. thankfully, after i heard the racket and felt
the grinding, i slowed down enough to coast into my driveway and
gingerly put on my ebrake, where she currently sits. my dad wants me to
buy a new car. after trying to wrap my head around the concept of "he
won't lend me 900$ to fix the breaks but he'll lend me 9000$ to get a
NEW car?" i called lynsey and though interrupted several times, had a
productive conversation where i decided i was going to make a shirt
that says "gone fishin'" and promptly do so.
currently, i'm using my mothers car, but that's not going to last too long.
being angered that it won't play ANY cd's burned from my computer (any
other computers burned cds get the thumbs up) i listened to the one cd
that i bought that i'm INTO now, which was the everglow by mae. soon i
got annoyed by mae and angrily turned them off and drove in silence. i
really wanted to listen to the faint, because i was all mad at the
world and wanted to break things and the faint seems to be doing the
trick of making me less mad. so i put in judi's eight eight cd #2,
which is one of my favorite cds of ALL TIME, and listened to the one
faint song on there, and then some outkast. i went to bed last nite at
10pm, and refused to talk online or write emails because i was afraid
i'd come off like a jerk.
i didn't want to go to work this morning and after hitting snooze for
an hour, i finally got up and decided that i'm going to have to be
paying for a new car soon, and well, i'll need the cash. i resigned
myself to the lack of a mac, and went to stop and shop. this didn't
stop me from being a 1/2 hour late. but i called clint directly which i
think he liked.
my boss took pity on me (i think because it looked like i was going to
cry the whole day) and left me alone. didn't say one nasty thing to me
and even let me count the vitamins. i counted slowly and accurately.
because
today i decided i was going to start giving a damn.
i mean, on the whole, i don't really care for/about myself lately, but
who else is going to if i don't? so. with the lack of money i've
got (and by lack i mean lacking the 9000$ it's going to take for me to
buy a car but allllmost enough for my ibook) i went to best buy, bought
danse macabre by the faint and drove around with the windows down.
filled up the tank of the car, (26$ later) and came home to eat and
watch death to smoochy.
i now am again, actively in love with edward norton.
