This hasn’t been the best week for me.
First the good stuff… I went out to lunch with Somatra and I had a blast. We went to rock bottom brewery, and I finished every last thing I ordered. It was so much, I was stuffed! It was awesome though, real good food. And it was only like… $15 for each of us, which is cheap considering how good it was. Afterward, we walked up and down pine avenue, and we went to Bath and Body Works. I got a bunch of stuff for my new bathroom, and it was all on sale, so it was awesome.
Now onto the not so great stuff.
When Somatra drove up to my house, the street sweeper dude was coming right up my street, so I was like.. holy crap, I forgot to move my car! The guy in the truck ended up not caring and he just drove past me without giving me another look, but I was already in my car, so I figured I should move it anyway. In case he came back or something, I dunno. EBENEEZER JOEL (my beloved car) wouldn’t start! I couldn’t figure out what was wrong, but Somatra was waiting for me, I figured that the street sweeper wouldn’t come back, and that I was probably nervous about a ticket so I was turning it on wrong. Soooo… I left to lunch. When I came back, I tried to turn it on to see what was up with it, but it still wouldn’t do it! I have no clue what’s wrong with it, because it was fine yesterday. Somatra and I did everything we could, but no luck. My dad and brother also both had a look, but none of us know what’s up. So tomorrow I have to get EJ towed and into a shop. This would be bad enough, because I don’t know how much this whole thing is going to end up costing, but my New York plans might fall through! Jessica and I were going to go to the travel agent tomorrow, but now I can’t drive us. That’s not even my main worry about the trip though. My worry is that I have to pay for it, as well as my car expenses. And I don’t have a job right now. And if this car thing only costs like $100 to fix, I’ll be okay, but I’m freaking out that it might be $600 or more. In which case I don’t know if I can still afford to do the trip.
It gets worse.
I was supposed to go to the beach today (the weather wasn’t very beachy, but oh well), but obviously, I was not able to get myself there. But wait, there’s more. It was a whole beach party dealy with Nate’s friends, and it would have been my first time meeting ALL of the people there except for him and Jason. So I’m bummed because they probably think I’m a flake, I was looking forward to meeting them, and I was of course looking forward to being with Nate. By the time Somatra and I gave up on fixing EJ, my hands were a greasy mess, we’d had no success (not trying to rhyme), and all of the other people had already left, so there was no way Nate could have caught a ride to get there. And I feel so bad! I know Nate’s dissapointed. I ruined everything today. Man oh man.
So lets recap on what went wrong. My car broke down, I didn’t get to go to the beach, I didn’t get to see mi Chio, I kept him from a fun beach party, his friends probably think I suck, he probably thought I made the car thing up at first as an excuse to not go (there were some issues with that too, but I don’t want to go into that… let’s say, I don’t think he thought I wanted to go, and to me it didn’t seem like he wanted me to go all that badly… I’m over that though, hope you are too chio. I did want to go. And I hope you wanted me to go…), have to ride in a tow truck with some random truck driver tomorrow and then sit in a shop waiting room tomorrow, I can’t go to the travel agent tomorrow, my plans for new york might fall through…. ugh.
Then tonight, Monica, Laura, Karin, and Linda came over. I basically sat and talked with Linda the whole time. And I mean, it was perfectly fine, but it was so akward because I said nothing to Monica, and hardly anything to Laura. I don’t know what to make of everything. It’s all still a mess. Oh and I missed The Simple Life. And I watched Newlyweds, but I couldn’t hear it because of a bunch of noise outside and inside my house. I sound so bratty, haha. All pissed off because of television. Oh well.
I saw the Ashlee Simpson show. I liked it. A lot. I’m not sure about her singing, but I like how she writes her words and all. And she seems more fun than her sister. So yay.
So I’m hoping tomorrow is a lot better. And that its a repair that takes less than $100. And that the tow truck driver isn’t a perv. And that the repair only takes a few minutes. And that I can still get to the travel office. And that I’ll be set for New York.
Those are some big hopes. Man.
