All over the Viking world today
Last night I experienced everything. Literally. Happiness, pain, joy, anger, sadness, stupidity, compassion, desire, sacrifice, and a teeny-weeny car part.
I missed going to my semi-required Java Developers meeting yesterday because my car battery finally gave up the ghost while I was at work. I am 1000% grateful that oldsmobile_mike came all the way out from Burke to help me try to fix it (though I am somewhat grateful that someone else that sold me the car came with a new battery, his comments about my financial situation were utterly uncalled for and I am PISSED about that!). Went to Advanced Auto Parts in Herndon and this tiny little metal piece that you use to link together the fuses for a 1987 Honda Civic CRX was not in stock.. now they had Chrysler, Ford, Chevrolet, all the American ones, but not the most commonly found foreign car! But "someone else", the same one with the mouth that runneth over, jerry-rigged it with a wire that seems to not overheat (provided I don't run too many things that require electricity)
I wound up going to Sch*den[censored] [name withheld cuz.. ask dj_vlad] last night, had a blast! Had to go to support groaninggirl who was DJing that night (2 DJs in the same band? Go figure), and of course the always-fun violinpadraic was there for support and the occasional My Dying Bride slipped in (!!!!!!!!!!). Had a cool talk with shadow27 and dj_vlad for a bit, also saw Edward outside talking to his friend Rachel, and dharmata101 was also there for moral support, along with tuath13 and ladyklife.. djmissguided and Donnie were there.. but the most interesting part of the night was the very long talk I had with myruiner who was there with cheetahdave.. hmmm.. that made me think for a bit..
Finally made it home in time to find out that my roommate's having the house interior painted and I needed to take everything down off the walls in my bedroom. Oh and he's having it done today. I like how he tells me these things at the last possible minute when he has both my email and phone number. Should enslave him to do it, but then again, I fear what he'd do with my stuff because it's so "evil-looking".
