You've got red on you

Yesterday was a serious roller coaster.

I went out to the House of Vice to hang out with Wyn and other awesome people. Then I headed on down to Tarzana/Woodland Hills to bother Nina and help prepare ourselves for our impromptu Forbidden Zone dress-up night.  Everything was put together.  We headed off.  As I was turning to get onto the 101E, I heard this loud bang.  I thought I'd run over a curb or something.  I kept going on the freeway.  Then I smelled something burning.  Immediately I pulled off to the side of the freeway and peeking out at the front of the car.  My left front tire was dead.  After a string of phone calls (ranging from panicked, to annoyed, to calm, to annoyed, to angry, and back to calm again), AAA was called and a tow truck as sent to put on a spare.  I made it to Rocky and strutted around with Nina, showing off our handy work.  We even got to do Take Over scene.  I had a blast.  Rocky totally made up for a lot of things.

I made it home safely on the spare and proceeded to wash away all the make-up and red hairspray.  If I had to guess, I probably got the bed at around 5am.  There's still a little big of red on my scalp, but I shall deal with that tomorrow morning.  Anwyay, when I woke up this morning (at 1pm) I found out that my parents had gone to put new tires on my car.  When I called my dad, he told me that the old dead tire was THRASHED.  And the spare? It had been really, really low on air.  I'm very surprised (and very thankful) I made it home in one piece.

So yeah.  Last night was... eventful.  Right about now I'm glad I have the day off work tomorrow.

My poor little car.  She's been through some shit.  No more than a couple of days ago she was in a little accident on the freeway - hitting the car-in-front-of-her's bumper.  I haven't received any call about it yet, so I'm hoping that the lady in the other car just went through AAA and I don't need to do anything.  The last thing I need right now is for that situation to get complicated.  My tires were due to be replaced anyhow.  The tread was REALLY worn down.  It was only a matter of time.  Next thing I think will be giving me trouble: the brakes.  I need to take it easy. :\

Also: I want to start looking up parts to build a Tom Servo.  As if I wasn't weird enough already.
