bad. bad. day.
so im thinkin saturday could prolly be called the day from hell...
worked 8 - noon...not so bad except i was tired.
then i went to the animal shelter for the afternoon...where a litter of puppies had been brought in (5) where 2 of them were so infected from mange that they had to be euthanised. people like that should be shot...
then robyn and i were doing some stuff for NVC...turning in donation letters around town...and my car stalled. its never done that before, but it been really cold out so i wasnt too worried. no big deal, right? well, it wasnt at first. then my cd player wouldnt open (the guy who owned the car before me got this pimped out - yes, i definitely just wrote pimped out - cd player installed that opens and closes when the car is turned on and off)...so as i was sitting in the left turn lane at mission and pickard (one of the busiest freaking intersections in mt p), i was at a red light so i quickly turned my car off to see if it would reset the cd player...and turned it back on.
well, i tried to turn it back on...but MY FREAKING ANTITHEFT BACKFIRED AND SHUT DOWN MY WHOLE CAR AND I COULDNT EVEN TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. (at least thats what we think happened...ive been having minor issues with that anyways) so that was cool...just kidding. so i of course freak out...pretty much hyperventilate and get hysterical...im in tears. robyns like, ok, breathe, please. i call my mom (whos a nurse and at work) crying, dont know what to do. im the first person in line in the turn lane too...and since my whole effing car shut down i couldnt even turn my flashers on so i had a bunch of assholes beeping at me like its hard to see im hysterically in tears on the phone in my car, waving my arms around and trying to get SOMETHING to work. the dealership where i got my car is already closed, as is mr muffler, where i take my car...i called them both. im at this point sobbing and basically flipping out...not fun. so robyn calls jason (who is visiting for the weekend) and he and toph come to my rescue (a couple people stopped while they were on their way, that was nice...but they couldnt do anything). they get there and toph calls 911 so they send a cop car to stop traffic...and then the 2 of them push my car backwards into the parking lot (robyn pressed the shift lock button down with her car keys to get it into neutral)...we bumped over a curb so i REALLY hope that didnt do more damage to my car, its not like i can afford it...and my car, which has auto start as well (which i hate)...starts on its own...it reset everything in the car. needless to say, i was pretty damn pissed.
so basically my antitheft and autostart are going nuts on my car and they better freaking fix it for me b/c ive had the car for like 5 or 6 weeks. toph offered to go in with me, so i think he and i are going to the dealership tomorrow. and ive now not been driving since then b/c i cant guarantee that not happening again...how frustrating. i was not only upset but LIVID.
so to make a long story short: a BIG thanks to the 3 of them...topher and jason for rescuing me and robyn for calming me down! haha. seriously...i wouldnt have known what else to do.
on another note...today was a much better day...consisted of me relaxing and reading, cleaning my room a bit (which i still havent finished haha, me and my roommate hardcore cleaned the rest of the apartment friday night), avoided my homework, played with my psycho cat, went to the NVC meeting with robyn, and we went to emilys to hang out with a bunch of people for awhile. it was fun...much more relaxing, which i needed. and im MUCH happier now than i was yesterday :) with the exception of the arthritis in my knee that hates me right now.
i just hope the damn car is ok :/.

PS...wow that entry was full of complaining...not exactly representative of my life...i truly am doing really well...just a bad experience i needed to rant about...that is hopefully getting corrected. :D
