So, yesterday was one of the shitiest days in road-tripping history. We were driving along, almost to the Indiana/Illinois state line when we smell something that is similar to eggs and burning hair. I'm thinking "Ok. There are farms around here, maybe it's just shit or something." Well, then, thirty seconds later or so, my car makes this weird noise, and my cruise control cuts off. We pull over, and this smoke starts pouring out from under my hood. So, I grab and pair of my underwear (CLEAN- from my laundry basket) and pop open the hood. Well, after a lot of crap we (and this realy nice older man) figure out that my transmission oil is out. So, the man drives us to the store to get the oil and to his house to get a funnel. We go back and pour it in, and keep driving. Well, no sooner had we gone one mile that the transmission oil blew out all over my car AGAIN!!! So, I pulled over to the side of the road, and I call Mike. After I had crawled around under the car for about 20 minutes and the tank blew out all of the oil all over my hair and face, I decided to give it up and have Mike come and tow it in. So, I got out my lawn chair, did a few shots o' tequilla, and Ashley and I dropped trau on the side of the road (Not in the bushes, but right on the roadside by the car) and pissed. Well, after all of this mom calls and tells us that she too is coming, and she'll bring us the car so we can go on to Champaign. Keep in mind, we have already missed PP and it was now just more a matter of smoking with Darren that we had in mind, so we wait for mom, and a cop shows up. Blah blah blah. Mom gets there and we continue on to the show. (BTW: I love my mommy.) When we get there, we smoke in the car and wait for the show to end for about 20 minutes. We get up to where the buses are parked, and Darren comes out of the venue WITH HIS GIRLFIREND!!! UGH! I thought they weren't even going out anymore! Anyway...So, there was no point in even stopping him. We fucking left the place, and went to Taco Bell, and went home.
So, that's yesterday in a nut shell. I don't even care about the Darren thing, but I'm super pissed off that we didn't get to see the fucking show. I've been looking forward to THIS show all spring. I was looking forward to it more than spring break, and we didn't get to see my 2nd favorite band play in one of my favorite venues!!! Fucking bullshit! Thank god I didn't pay for the tickets or I would have been really pissed, but no pictures. Major thumbs down! Fuck!
