So I go to Midas because I hear a knocking sound when I make a sharp turn. As a result, I find out that one of my axles is broken, and that there are two leaks in my brakeline, meaning that I have driven for the last month with no (and I mean no) brake fluid. The mechanic said I should be grateful to be alive, and that the Civic is unsafe in its current condition. The total charge that it's going to take to get this fixed: $586. To put in perspective, I make $600 gross at Movie Gallery. Strip away $460 for rent, $100 for food, and so forth... and unless I get help from the folks, I'm grounded, perhaps permanently.
I would like to be at the poetry slam tonight, but with Curtis out of action, I don't know how this is possible.
Man, I am pissed.
