we have family friends over, who have kids. one of which is around 4-5 years old. he just came over to my sister and i said "paranoia .... destroyerrrrr" and tom (the dad) was like o he is singing destroyer by THE KINKS. WTH LITTLE KID?!
the day started off at 7:30 am when i drove katie to work, then came back and went back to sleep until noon when i picked katie up from work. then i took a shower and went with becky and krystal to BECKY'S house an hour and a half away. we went to see her parents! we spent about an hour looking through her old magazines and i found three ads with mathias (a lacoste and two old HUGO BOSS ads from 2005) and her mom made us beans and franks (LOVE THOSE BEANS AND FRANKS!) then we drove back.
THEN THE ADVENTURE BEGINS. so krystal has never seen A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS so we decided that we should. (if you haven't... go rent it now >:|) we take my car because becky had been driving all day. we go and pick up the movie which we had a hard time finding because i was looking in the S's and apparently it was in the L's for LEMONY SNICKET. WTH. idek. anyways. so we get back in my car and i turn it on and put it in reverse AND IT WOULDN'T MOVE D: and there was this grinding noise and i was like UHHHH WTH?! so i turned it off and turned it back on and no luck... this girl that was getting in her car was like "huh" and i said "my car won't back up!" D: and she was really nice! we tried for like five mins... it would go forward but not backwards unless i like PUSHED the pedal really hard. so we finally got it to back up and i parked a bit down the ways parrallel ish taking up about 3 spots and turned off the car because it was making noises. she offered to drive behind us to my apartment because it is like 9:30 pm. so i turn my car back on and start out the parking lot and i have my window down so that i can hear my car. OMG SO LOUD. so i panic and turned BACK into the parking lot and we call my room mate ashley to see if she can come get us. in the mean time the nice girl went to food lion to get some juice and she said she would be back to check on us. i call my house and have a panic attack while i talk to my mom who tries to calm me down and tells me to go find a boy because a boy will help and i am like WHAT THE HELL NO D: and we woke up my father who was asleep for about an hour already and he tells us to move the car in neutral to park it properly and such so that we can deal with it in the morning. now krystal calls her dad because he knows about cars, he said to pop the hood and check the transmission. after awhile krystal finds that and then this nice looking guy pulls up and asks if we need help and i say "my car won't back up!" (i am amazing at explaining things!) and so the guy helps and tells us that i don't have ANY transmission fluid. D: so then we were like "lets get some!" and by this time the nice girl has come back and the first boy left. so we leave becky at the car (she offered) and the nice girl (named leah... who knows two of my theatre friends!) drives us over to food lion to see if they have transmission fluid. well they didn't so we walked back to the car and were like... lets move the car! so i get in and put the car on neutral while becky and krystal attempt to move my PATHFINDER. then this 40 year hold guy comes up and is like... ummm do you need help? and we were like YES OMG. then these two guys and a girl come up and help (people are so nice!) and we finally park my car properly and such LMAO. so we then we were just waiting for our ride. then these hot guys pull up and ask if we wanted help and we regrettably said no D: so then they turned around and drove off *sad*
then FINALLY ashely's sister comes to get us (because she had ashley's car) and we were like... um can you take us to get transmission fluid at the gas station? and she was like SURE. so we did that. and we put it in the car and tried moving it NO MORE GRINDING NOISE! but it was still making like... not normal noises so my car is sitting in the parking lot of blockbuster. my dad is coming here tomorrow in the morning to deal with my car because i have NO IDEA what to do. aduajd;oiajdaoifnaslkd. i feel bad that my dad is driving four hours here and on my mom's birthday!
