the day from hell and a few random pimpings and fandom musings

[wook77]

I had the day from hell yesterday. I ran out at lunch to pick up a few things at Target and my car died. As in doesn't even make a noise when it tries to roll over. So, after about 1/2 hour of random guys asking "whassup", I finally cracked and said..."look, if you don't have jumper cables don't talk to me." Amazing how quickly you can get a jump when you're grumpy.

Got back to work, borrowed a portable jumpkit and headed off to Autozone to buy a new battery. Seems it's not my battery, it's actually my alternator and/or cables. Meaning, that the dealership is the only garage I can find that will handle my car *smites Mitsubishi*. So, I'm bound to be asked to bend over and take it like a man tomorrow when I drive my car up to the shop.

Anyway, so I forgot that the car dies everytime you turn it off and stopped at Circle K. Came out, gave myself a jump and got hit on by a very large woman. We're talking extremely large and scary. We're talking extremely large, scary and smelly. So, I tried to be polite and finally, my frustration with my life peaked and I yelled at her too. I'm really not a nice person...

Had my first night of class last night in almost a year. Had a blast. It's international marketing and I loved it! I absolutely adored my class. There's a cute guy who's on my team. He's really nice. So, we're talking about this learning team project we have to do together and he's walking me to my car. Without breaking the conversation's pacing, I give my car a jump. I noticed that he isn't talking anymore.

He totally looked gobsmacked. I could've hit him with a 2x4 and he wouldn't have reacted. Turns out he's impressed that a girl knows her way around a set of jumper cables. I simply didn't tell him that it took one of the poor guys at work over a 1/2 hour to show me how to use the "portable defribulator" as I call it. I replied to his awe with..."I can check my own oil too." Got a laugh and a coffee date. YAY. So, day was shite but then ended on a semi-good note. We'll see how it goes at the dealership.



For all those KOTOR fans - have you seen vrookletters? It's sodding hilarious. OMG, I'm dying laughing. Just found it today and oh man, the love!

vu_network is up and running and pretty darn entertaining. We're still looking for players and it will be H/D eventually.


How's everyone? I submitted a story to the KOTOR fan site for the "Villians" challenge. jehnt kept me on the straight and narrow. akakat - I didn't get your message until today after I'd submitted it! I will definitely send you stuff in the future, though!

Poor thing! Arrgh, that would have driven me crazy as a crazy thing. *pets* I figured things were not going well since I didnt hear from you.

I hope things get better very soon. I'm fine, kind of rambling around.

What's this vu thingie?

[wook77.livejournal.com]

They got better... I'm going to post about it shortly :)

vu_network is an alternate 6th year HP RPG. It's tons of fun so far! The mods are fantastic and the other characters are wonderful. I'm playing Dean and having a blast!!!

You should pop over and take a look. They need a bunch of characters!

oh no :( hope the car thing works out...

YAY on the cute guy :D and the class. but CUTE BOYS!!!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Will be posting on the car thing shortly!

Where were you all day?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!

[best-of-five.livejournal.com]

hahaha, guess you missed my post from a day or so ago. am staying off IM during the day as a test of will power :D

so far, it's working!

Sucks about the car! Alternators are a pain in the ass. An ex and I got stuck somewhere in the desert with a non-functioning alternator, was a bit scary but somehow we managed. BUT, it sounds like a decent balance, impressing cute boys with your automotive prowess is a definite bonus.

Can't wait for more details.

Will be posting shortly but YAY for looking car savvy.

nothing makes me homicidal like my wheels letting me down. and I'm damn impressed about you and those jumper cables, too! it's all so...autoclub. :P

hurrah re the coffee-date!

[wook77.livejournal.com]

OMG, teenage mutant ninja turtles!

oh wait, what did you say? ;)

YEah, the portable jump kit was all impressive and schtuffs.

[akakat.livejournal.com]

No problem, I'm happy to beta KOTOR stuff any time. You'll link us to the villians story sometime, right?

[albur.livejournal.com]

Aargh! Well I hope everything goes okay for you. But thumbs up on the coffee date, ne?

And I have seen vrook letters. Much fun. Oh, and direct me over to your villians challenge fic. I must read. :)

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Is that Claudia Black on your icon? It totally looks like her.

vrookletters made me laugh my arse off when I saw it.

Villians challenge fic will be posted next week. I'll pimp the whole thing so I'm not singling out my own cause that wouldn't be fair...

[albur.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I regard Claudia Black as Revan - I think she could totally pull it off - especially in that icon.

i am soo loving vu_network right now. major drama man.

LOL and the master vrook....like that's insane. *snort*

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I adore the vu. Serious adoration!

vrookletters just killed me. They're so IC that they hurt. ;)
