kinda forgot i had this
First and foremost, I apologize to all that still have me on their friends list. I know I'm usually a really happy easy going person but today sucks. This really isn't of interest to anyone but it's one of the few places I can write that certain people will not see. I hope.
So, I've been looking for a car now for a few months. I kind of need one, as I don't like being trapped on campus, or the idea of walking to Hamot after I graduate.
For those that don't know (and really why would you?), I have terrible luck when it comes to finding a car. Upon calling about it and finding out more, a car I am interested in buying will generally be A)uninsurable with our car insurance, B) the person selling it will mysteriously dissapear after we tell him that we are going to have it checked out before we buy it, or C) it was a theft car and the Russian mafia is selling it and telling us to pick it up in some weird out of the way place (I am not kidding about this.)
I found a black Celica. Basically what I've wanted for a long time. All that good stuff about it.
So we bid on it and finally won. (With 20 seconds left me yelling BID VERN BID!!!! It was exciting.)
So car comes to our house and it's really pretty and I tell everyone about it and be really excited.
Then we find out that it is only a GT, not a GTS. Which means no sunroof, nice sound system, keyless entry, and some other stuff. Kinda sucks, might get over it. Guy told us the bumper had been replaced, but we found that instead it was just a really shitty fix-it job. Weird random stuff like no manual, no floor mats, little holes burned in the back seats, back windshield wiper doesn't work. Definitely NOT what was advertised.
Anyway we told the guy about it and he refused to give us any money off, soooo car is going back to him. So he can ripoff someone else I suppose.
Now my parents have been helping me out with all of this and I really appreciated it. My dad drove to get the car, because I'm stuck here at school and not able to. They were both trying hard to help me find a car. And like I said, I appreciated it.
But when this whole thing fell through, I was really dissapointed. I get kind of (ok really) attached to people and things and I get really dissapointed when it doesn't work.
And it's like, I can't talk to them about being frustrated without them taking it as a personal insult, like I think that they should have done more and it's their fault (which of course I do NOT think).
I was told that the world does not revolve around me. And that it's not all about me. This is new to me. I did not know this.
So today I got to lose my car AND feel like a terrible daughter! That's right all in one day! I am talented. As far as car finding goes, I'm now at the same position I was at 3 months ago, except a lot closer to graduating and riding a bike to Hamot in the snow.
I do realize that in the grand scheme of things, this is really no big deal. I know that it's stupid to even be complaining about it. I've just been dissapointed with a few different things (people) this year. And think of it this way. You're really, really hungry. That kind of hungry when you almost start feeling sick. Now, you know that there are little starving kids in Africa with the little stick legs and bloated bellies, and they are MUCH more hungry than you. You feel bad for them, you really do. However, does that make you feel less hungry? Not so much.
My day still blows.
Lebron is on. But I can't go into my room to watch it. Because Maria and her boyfriend are having sex in there right now.
And I can hear it.
