All hail the shitty mopey emo post
So stuff pretty much sucks at the moment.
Recently I had a new brake cable put in my car, and right after that it died on me and started leaking Green. It had to be TOWED to my mechanic, who today told me that there are three parts that have basically desintegrated and have to be replaced at the cost of around $660. BUT, if they are replaced and my car doesn't like it, there's a 50/50 chance that it'll damage my engine and I'll have to get the engine replaced too, which will be really expensive. So I can choose to do that and run the risk of fucking my engine and paying shitloads for a new one, or I could just say "fuck it" and buy a new car, fully realising that I'll never be able to sell the old one. Keep in mind here that I don't have nearly enough money to do either. I'm up shit creek without a paddle and I have no idea what the fuck to do. And on top of that, I have a $220 speeding fine I have to pay. At first I laughed my arse off when I got the letter (it's so ironic that I have to pay a fine for a car I can't drive) but now looking at it makes me want to cry.
Things aren't good at work either. A guy who I worked with, Luke, recently left Blockbuster and has moved to Brisbane to go to Uni there. He's the guy I initially thought I had a thing for but ended up becoming a really good platonic friend of mine. I'm starting to realise the reason why I liked working at Blockbuster so much was because I had so many friends there. I loved working with Kristen and Luke. Kristen was so bright and bubbly and fun, and Luke was such a character. Every time I had a shift with either of them I'd always end up in stitches. And now they're both gone. He's only been gone a few days but I already miss him so much. Not just as a workmate but as a friend, too. That's the worst part. I feel like I've lost a friend that I'm really going to miss hanging out with. Rocky Horror was one of the most fun nights out I've had in ages. Yelling at the screen, dancing the time warp and singing bad eighties power-ballads in the car. And now he's in Brisbane.
Things also suck with my uni situation. I've enrolled for a Graphic Design course through an interstate college, but my enrolement keeps getting screwed up. And I have to keep calling them as no one calls me. I keep thinking this is some kind of big scam. I know it isn't, but seriously, how long can they keep me sitting here without starting? Is this all a waste of time?
I also really want to renew my gym membership. Normally when I'm feeling shitty like this I go to the gym and run on the treadmill. But I can't do that right now because my membership has run out and it's going to cost at least $500 to renew because they're a bunch of thieving bastards. Just another of the many things I can't afford.
I feel like screaming.
