My roommate Alex Haney asked if he could borrow my car to go run a quick errand. I said it was okay as long as he put some gas in the tank, because it was almost empty. I told him what it looked like, gave him the license plate number, and all that stuff. He was gone for about half an hour. Then I got a call saying he had just parked back at home, but was having trouble locking it. I told him how to do it (the door handle thing), and he got it. When he got in, he told me the gas tank was already full. I wasn't sure what to make of it, but I wasn't too worried.
He also told me that he had received a parking ticket in the ten minutes he was parked in front of the store. He paid it online pretty much immediately. Then, we looked at the ticket, and we saw it was assigned to an Illinois license plate. It was still for a Honda, and it was parked pretty much in the same spot he was parked around the same time. We figured someone had received a ticket and put it on my car right away. Pretty clever.
THEN he called the city of Chicago to let them know what had happened and to see if they could do anything about it. They said it was a common occurrence and that they would refund him, no problem. Then, we were looking around on the city's website, and we saw that you could look up your ticket and they would show a picture of the car they ticketed. We looked it up, and, sure enough, the car was a black Honda Civic with an IL license plate. I said, "Yep, that's not my car."
He said, "........oh.....weird, because that's the car I drove. Do you have a Polish flag or a picture of the pope hanging from your rearview mirror?"
No....
Turns out, he accidentally tried my key on someone else's Civic parked near where I was parked and it WORKED! ALEX HANEY IS A CAR THIEF!!!! except he got lucky and parked it in the same spot.
And that's my story of the year. Maybe I WILL miss Alex when he leaves for Prague...sad. I mean SUPER PISSED. Haha, oh Alex Haney. What a part of my life you've been.
Other stuff:
Had another double kegger for D Herr's and my birthday. Only one keg got used. Woof. We dumped it in the bathtub. Such a waste.
Work is great. I've never had work friends before, but I can totally hang out with these people, and I like it.
Went on a blind blackout drunk date the other night. It was 3am at Berlin, and he asked for my number. I figured what the hell. He's pretty normal for a guy I would meet at the bar. Actually a little too normal. I'm ready to move on and continue enjoying being single. Gabi from work, who is 33, is so wise and teaches me to take things at face value, treat first dates like job interviews, and do what I want to do. Duh.
Avatar = AMAZ.
JDCB=done? still weird feelings, but, as I have sorta known all along, he is a crazy maker. At least Beam and I are still budz.
My LJ is 6 years old? Weird.
