So tonight was the last night of beginnings...i guess you can say beginnings ended. (ha ha ha) ok no one's laughing. Anyway, so i've basically been getting back and forth from church because my roommate phil is gracious enough to let me borrow his car. and if you know me, im going back and forth to church a lot, so i've undoubtedly been using his car way more than he has. So as im driving home tonight with jill, she suggests that we get his car washed for him, since he is letting us borrow it. and i know whenever i try to argue with jill i always lose...but that didn't stop me from trying again. well i lost again so i had get the car washed. but neither of us had ever gone through those car wash things before so we weren't quite sure what we were doing. My first problem was that I couldn't even find the entrance to the car was...i almost went in the exit. so finally after driving around the gas station like an idiot i found the entrance, which was hidden behind the gas station. so i drive around, but when we get up there the machine only accepts cash. or a ticket # so jill had to run in the gas station and buy the ticket while i waited in the car hoping that no one would pull up behind me. Finally she gets back with the #...i enter the # and the green light goes on...so i cautiously drive up waiting for the red light to go on so i could stop. i stopped the second i saw that red light go on... i did not want to mess this up. then we sat there, and waited...and waited...and waited. i said to jill, 'isn't something supposed to happen now? ' nothing happened. i didn't no what to do. so we waited some more...i was afraid if i got out, it would immediatly start working and soak me. So i just drove out and we explained to the attendant that it didn't really work. so she told us to go around again and she'd reset the machine...so i go around again, enter another #, but then realize i missed a crucial step the first time around...i forgot to select what wash type i wanted...yeah i felt a little stupid. this i went in again, and all was well. the washer was washing, while jill and i cranked the radio and sang at the top of our lungs. so that was my first experience at a car wash...all's well that ends well.
