Long ass day...
Wow. So this day really started Sunday. (another really long update...:P)

My grandma called me earlier that day and invited Sean and I to the family get together dinner thing at 4:30. But I know my family and it wouldn't start til at least 5. Well, I told her we'd prolly be there. Well, nothing too exciting happens til then, we go to the mall so I can find a belt for my coolest belt buckle ever (which I end up buying two brown belts from Old Navy for $10) and so Sean can see who Brooke is (just...wow. Beautiful. And she's funny; I love working with Brooke). Anyway, then we get some stuffs from Target and head to my grandma's.
All is well there and we get ther about 5, and of course, not all of dinner has even been started. So I planned that pretty well. But. As the night is dwindling down, my aunt asks if I want to drive down to Burbank with her to pick up her car that my uncle left there. I said sure, I had nothing better to do and I wasn't working shipment Monday. (I worked 12pm-7:15pm. I'll explain that later) So in a mostly spur of the moment thing, Sean and I find ourselves on our way down there. Well, I think to myself, well, Burbank can't be too far from Santa Monica, where Darren lives. So I text him to see if he wants to hang out. He says sure. Well we get down there all find and dandy, Sean and my aunt talking most of the time (my whole family, extended included, really seem to like him, it's great heh). I told my aunt I had a friend close by and if it was alright with her, if we took the car to see him instead of going straight back home. She's said that'd be ok, just to be careful and all that "good aunt" stuff.
So Sean and I set out on our little adventure. Oh, and by this time, it's like...11ish at night. WELL. Long story short, I end up going too far south and pass Santa Monica and so we end up having to turn around in Irvine.....so we went a good 45mins or so too far. So by the time we finally got to Darren's it was almost 1am. Instead of a nice 25 mins ride, it was like, an hour and a half. It was great. It wasn't like we were in a big hurry, so it was fun. And I'm a total speed demon, so I drove about 90-95/mph the whole time.:D So we get there and have to find parking which was hell and talk to Darren for however long. Finally around 3:30, we decide it best we stay the night instead of trying to drive back. Darren and I barely got any sleep. It was fun, to say the least. :$
Morning comes and we take off about 9:30ish. No getting lost this time and we make it to my aunt's about 10:30. Yeah....it's safe to say I hauled ass home. I rarely dropped under 95/mph the whole way back. It usually takes about an hour and a half to get from Santa Monica to Bako and I did it in about an hour. Hell yeah. I'm my father's daughter. WEEELL. So far all has been well. I switch the car for my car at my aunts and start to head home cuz I have to shower and get to work by noon, but so far, I'm way ahead of schedule. Well, we go maybe two miles down the highway and my car starts making this funny noise, then it makes this weird pop noise and it starts to decelerate. I'm freaking. Luckily, there was an offramp and I coasted the best I could up it, but didn't quite make it to the top. So Sean and I did our best to push it up and out of the way. So I'm all freaking out. I call my aunt and fill her in. She sends my cousin with a truck to tow my car back to their house. So it takes us some time to figure out how to attach the damn rope cuz my car is special. So by this point, it's like, 11 and there's no way I'm going to make it to work on time. So I call, tell my supervisor my car issue and say I'm probably going to be late and she says it's cool. So I'm now in my car getting pulled. It was crazy.
We make it back to the house and leave it there and I take the car I used the night before so I can get home and to work. I get home, shower and head to work and I clock in at 12:30. Not too bad. Only 30 mins late. Work was pretty good. Nothing special. Jessica, one of the supervisors, came back after her like month vacation, and she's always fun to mess around with. My mom and brother and sister stopped by and saw me. That's about it. Oh, and I got some cleaner for my shoes since I was stupid and painballed in them from Vans.
So I functioned today off very little sleep, no food, and a broken car. I just hope it's nothing too serious and won't cost a shitload to fix cuz I really can't afford something like that right now. So we'll jsut see.
Sean is leaving tomorrow to go backpacking with his dad til like Saturday or Sunday, so I'm going to be home alone for the week. Eee! I'm not used to being alone! O.O! Darren said he's probably coming up to Bako this weekend, so that should be cool. I hope he does. And my sister is going to Phoenix next week for like 3 weeks for work. That should be cool for her. She's coming back on my birthday :)
Weeell. I think that should cover about everything. It's only 11pm, but I'm pretty tired so I think I'm acutally going to bed early tonight. This whole week I'm not on shipment for work cuz of some new people so schedules are a little off, so I don't have to worry about early morning work! But I don't really like closing. Oh well. At least I'm still only working Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat. Tho I'm switching with this one girl her Thurs for my Fri so I can go paintballing Fri night. Wee! It's gonna be fun.
Wow..I keep rambling on and on. I really do must be tired. And I doubt that sentence made much sense. But whatever. Ok...I think I really am stopping now. This has got to be one of the longest posts I've ever written in the whole history of my blog. How exciting. Or not. Yeah. I'm done. Peace.
