So I have car problems...again. It's the leaking transmission fluid...AGAIN. Of course this happened Friday night, and my dad's mechanic friend understandably doesn't do work on weekends, and he wasn't free to take the car until yesterday. I'm borrowing my Grandmother's car on and off, but I can't borrow it indefinitely because she needs it to get ( Read more... )

My parents absolutely FAIL at hiding Christmas presents. As I've mentioned in the past, I'm saving up for a new computer.
