It looks like I'm back to my feet and bike for a while. I can think of worse things though. My car is done for, unless I replace the motor. Psht. As if. In a couple of months, I'll have some money and hopefully be able to buy a better car.
I think I must have jinxed it. I was giving a coworker a ride home and mentioned I needed oil. We got to talking about what was wrong with it, and I made the comment, "I'm not worried about it. I'll be happy if it makes it to the fall so I can get a couple hundred for a trade in on it when I buy a better car." No sooner did I finish saying that, and it started chugging. So I started to pull over to the side of the road, and it died as I did. Lovely.
At least this means I don't have to worry about getting the brakes fixed again or replacing the seriously bald tires. I do have to figure out how I'm going to get it off the side of the road though. I need to see if there's a salvage yard or something around here.
This weekend was a bit lame. I was invited to go party last night, but I declined since I had to open the store this morning. Other than that, the only worthwhile thing to happen over the last couple of days is I got my financial aid award letter. I'm getting more this coming school year than I did the last.
Tuesday, a friend is coming in from out of town. I'm looking forward to that. I was scheduled to work on Tuesday, but I asked a coworker to switch with me. They agreed, but they're saying they can't do it now. I'm not in any kind of mood to care though. Once they agreed to take the shift, it became their responsibility. They need to find their own replacement if they can't work. Odds are good that it will still somehow fall on my shoulders, but I'm not willing to accept it.
I have plans to go shoot pool on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to that. Hopefully, I won't be going by myself, but it's a possibility.
My car stalled on me today, and I couldn't get it to start again. I'm hoping it just needs to cool down, but it's possible that the motor seized. I'm going to go up after dark to try starting it again. If it doesn't work then, I guess I'll just have to scrap it and buy a new one in a couple months.
I'm in a really unpleasant mood right now. It's a combination of apathy toward life and "please fuck with me so I have an excuse to make you suffer" type moods. I'm pretty sure it's mostly due to too much pent up aggression. I need to let it out, but I don't really have an outlet.
Things are changing for me bit by bit. I don't have quite the "copy/paste" life that I felt I had before. Still, there's a cycle I can see that I want to change, but I haven't been able to yet. I haven't figured out how.
Anyway... I'm done rambling now.
When I get drunk, my texting is pretty much gibberish. I was hanging with some buddies last night and got pretty wasted. One of the guys I was with is my best friend's cousin. I sent her this text:
I hot eruok hamhing wiuh dfnnis amd hs frhmd.
Yeeaah... The amazing thing is, she understood what I said. It took me forever to figure out what the text said once I was sober. She replied almost immediately. o_O
This is probably one of the worst spam subjects I've seen in my email:
When womens are in low oipnion of you're maple insturments.

so what the heck is maple insturments? I have a low opinion of the person who sent that spam.
I'm right there with you.
A while back, I started playing KoTOR: The Sith Lords. I reached a point in the game I couldn't seem to beat. After a while of trying, I became frustrated and decided to leave it alone. When I got bored the other day, I decided to give it a shot. I breezed through it. It was so easy that I didn't even have to put any real effort into it... I have no clue how that happened. I've been blasting through the gam since then.
Now, I've reached another trouble spot. I made a poor decision, and I'm not sure I can make it through this battle without making a change. That would mean starting at a point a bit back in the game. It's a good thing I've been alternating what slot I save the game on.

Some towing companies will buy the car from you for junk and some will actually pick it up at no cost to you if you sale it to them. Usually only makes you a little money but every little bit helps when you need it. Call around to them & ask if they buy junk cars, someone is almost guaranteed to say yes. Good Luck!! I hope things get better for you.
