as of saturday afternoon, my car will no longer reverse. and so far everyone i've talked to has told me that my transmission is about to go. of course, i saw this coming for months cuz i've been noticing my car having trouble shifting gears while driving. i was hoping that it would last me til the end of the month when i'd be back home in jersey, but that obviously wasn't the case. this car hasn't even lasted me a full year. mother. fucker. *sigh* i plan on tryin to drive it to my parents today to have my dad take a look at it. it drives forward fine. i just have to make it there without needing to reverse at all, which shouldn't be a problem, hopefully. lol let me tell u how ecstatic i am right now. all i can say is that i'm glad i'm not working at least cuz i don't have to be anywhere. but at the same time, having no job is kind of working against me since i won't be able to purchase a new car unless i pay for it up front. i'm tryin so hard to remain positive through all this but i'm gettin so tired. seriously. at least i'm collecting unemployment and once i'm home, i can start putting aside more money and hopefully buy myself a decent car later on. i'm just not sure how long that's gonna take me. but my dad said he'd help me out so that makes me feel a little better. even though i hate relying on my parents so much. ugh.
on a lighter note, my weekend was good. super busy but good. friday i didn't really do much except stay home and chill on the computer as usual. saturday i packed up some of my stuff to take home and ended up borrowing my sister's car. hung out at my parents' for a bit and then went to see the new harold & kumar with my sibs and some friends. that was hilarious! haha i loved it. afterwards, we hit up a party in riverside which wasn't too bad. sunday i had the ms walk to go to. i was meeting up with my friend liz and her family at the art museum around 9 am. i woke up around 8 to go pick up my mom in jersey. and then we drove to center city but got stuck on vine st for like an hour waiting for some marathon runners to go by. i ended up bein late but luckily liz and them waited for us which was real nice of them. vicki ended up bein there which was a bit awkward. i kinda smiled at her but she barely looked at me. it was weird. i kinda hate that it's still so awkward between us right now but i'm hoping it'll get better eventually. i think it's still too soon after the breakup, tho. but anyway, my mom and i walked for a good 3 miles which was awesome. we felt so good afterwards and they even gave us free food and drinks and medals at the finish line. hehe after that, my mom dropped me off at 8th and market to meet up with my friend dana. she didn't get there til much later, tho. so i ended up walkin over to the equality forum street festival by myself. luckily, i ran into some friends there and hung out with them for a bit. then dana got there and we hung out together and ran into some more friends. i always love running into my friends at these events. i tend to forget how many gay friends i have. haha the festival was a lot of fun. i ended up gettin sunburnt. lol
walked around a lot, had some food, then hit up sisters afterwards. i was basically in center city ALL day from like 9 am til about 9 pm. and i only left sisters cuz my mom kept callin me since she was supposed to pick me up at the patco station. as u can imagine i was EXHAUSTED by the end of that day. haha but it was a really good day so i didn't mind. it was a good kind of tired and i had a lot of fun. i can't wait til jersey and philly prides next month. yay! :) ok, i'm out. payce!
