fuck
i live at mirkwood now...?
after work today i was on my way to brendan's house for a nice night of having dinner, watching peter perfect and sleeeeeping.
but my car had other plans that didn't involve any of us.
it decided to start clunking and smoking with the oil light on when i was on 530 which is a scary, winding, 2-lane, 55mph highway that connects arlington to the the freeway. so i pulled over, all freaked out, put oil in it that i had bought earlier, waited a few minutes and tried to start it. it was a no go. the oil light stayed on, the check engine light was on, it was making horrible noises and smelled. so i took switch and put him in my shirt and walked into the cornfield so i wouldn't get hit by a speeding car and called AAA. they got a tow truck out to me in about half an hour. in the meantime, my friends alora and michael who were on their way to mirkwood spotted my technicolor hair and pulled over to see what was up. the tow truck got there and the driver spotted a nice big oil puddle under my car. sweet. he towed me to a place in marysville ($23 ride) and of course it was closed because this was 8:30 at night, so i had to leave it there and put my key in a drop slot and wrote PLEASE CALL BEFORE MAKING ANY REPAIRS because i have a feeling that it's not going to be worth salvaging.
so it's there, til monday, when they open.
i work tomorrow sooooo i'm sleeping at work! alora and michael picked me up at the auto shop place and brought be back to mirkwood. so yeah. i am being antisocial too. it's savannah's birthday and she is having a party in the basement and heather's band just played upstairs and there are a bunch of people and kat turns 21 in about 5 minutes and i have locked myself and switch in heather's office and nested on the couch.
i'm mad hungry but i am just going to wait until morning because i don't feel like going out and hanging out with people. i'm weird but whatever. in the morning i will just get up like an hour before work and get the kitchen ready and make breakfast.
after work... i don't know what. monday and tuesday are my frickin two days off. i was going to get my license and tabs renewed (they both expired in june) and go to ikea to get stuff for the salon and home but now, who knows? am i going to stay at work and sit around on myspace for my two days off? is someone going to give me a ride home? if i am at home, how do i get back to work on wednesday if my car isn't fixed?
i have been wanting to get a new car for a while now. not new. a new used car. i would never get a new car. dumb. but yeah, i was thinking in like 3 months i would get a new car. when i have some money. i have a few hundred bucks but i have to pay rent in a minute. alicia and i were going to go to the police auction and get cars. i think that fixing my car is going to be a few hundred bucks, plus it has over 190,000 miles on it, expired tabs, a cracked windshield, and it's ugly. i would rather take that few hundred bucks and get something reliable with fewer miles that was HOPEFULLY adorable. you know? but what until then? i wish that i was stuck at home, it would be a lot less unnerving. but i'm not. so yeah.
