(no subject)

I dropped my car off at nine am. So noon goes past and... no call. At two, I called. Turns out that it took 2 guys 4 hours to get my hood to open. They ended up completely breaking my latch to get it to let the hood go. The latch was jammed which is why it wouldn't open. The cause of this headache and nightmare? A teeeeeennnnyyyyy rock. Like super teeny, smaller than my pinky nail.

That teeny rock cost me 310 dollars. But my hood works, I changed the fuse for my turn signals and got an oil change. Plus, they also put a screw in my gear shift so that it would stop popping off. It kept freaking me out when the gear shift wouldn't spin for me as I was driving. I got way used to the gear shift being a certain awkward angle. Now it's all where it's supposed to be and I couldn't understand why I couldn't get into reverse until I realized that I was pressing down on the gear shift and I didn't need to do that.

But - it definitely could've been worse. As it is, well, there goes, literally, the last of my money. However, I have also figured out that I'm not nearly as upside down on this loan as I'd emo'd about. I'm only about 3k (worst case) to 700 bucks (best case) so I think I can afford a new car in January.

Spent what little time I was actually at work watching Shelter on youtube before it gets taken down again.

For those of you following Memories as a Teacup - would you guys be interested in seeing the Dennis backstory and some of the stuff that will be happening offscreen? I've bits and pieces sketched out and I'm curious if you'd want to read it.

Still insomniac. Still no sleep. I'm dogtired, too. I just need like 8 hours all in a row. Maybe I need to lecture my body like I did my car?

*loves*

So, I got to drive around a Mustang convertible as my loaner car today while the dealers looked at my car. (I was considering stealing it and driving it to AZ for ya, but then I realized, that's a loooooong drive, and I would have to cross mountains...not a fan of driving in big mountains D:)
I am amused at the fact that I am getting a new windshield on my pretty gal already. The chemicals in the cleaning job done on the car before I got it left a crazy residue that won't come off...FUN

So, since I'm almost done with the POST OF DOOM THAT I AM WORKING ON THAT LJ KEEPS DESTROYING D:< D:< D:< I am holding off on watching Shelter for a moment more...and then, THEN shall there be great enjoyment.

LULZ! I actually dislike Mustangs, believe it or not. I think the car runs too loud for the power you get. - ie - it makes a big show but compared to quite a few of the other cars on the market, it's got the roar of a lion but the pickup of a cat. Still fast but not all that great comparatively.

And BWEEEHEEE! YAYES for finishing that POST OF DOOM!!!!! *HAPPY DANCE*

and how'd you like Shelter?

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't want one for myself, but it was fun to tool around in, and be all "ooooh, look at me" around town for a bit, lol...

HOSHIT...SHELTER WAS AMAZING! I actually remember seeing a preview for it on another movie I watched...don't remember which one, though. But yeah...GAH...SO GOOD!!!!!!
