this is the last second chance

Maaaaaan.
I was doing a complex K-Turn in a driveway I wasn't used to when - BAM!

I MISCOUNTED THE TREES, LIZ!

good golly miss. molly

who would have thought that such a light would be the end of our time together?
Okay, a lot of people may have thought that.  I did.  But yeah, this light marked the end of me and my ol' car's time together.   I guess there was some hole in the (car term) and it was leaking oxygen (or something) into the car's engine (so the car was omitting CO2?  God I can't remember)  Not only that but my brake pads were basically shot, and this caused the bill to fix all of this to be WAY TOO MUCH money in comparison to the value and lasting time of this car.

Long  (and obviously, very detailed)  story short... My car has been traded in and I now own a new car. 

RIP darling.  I hope you find a good new home.

people try to hold us down

I had to sit and wait to get my car fixed the other morning for about 2 hours. While it was boring, I played a few rounds of "iQuiz" and then browsed my iPod for new music and music I had forgotten. It was a nice way to become reacquainted.
And in case you're wondering, Jenell did not write, "It's All Coming Back to Me Now". Celine Dion did. Thanks iQuiz.

it's on it's on it's on it's on

argh.
stupid car with its tires and need for "maintenance on the lamps"

wish i had this...

unless it means, "beat mobile" like jenell said.

she stole my future, she broke my dream

k so this picture is all sorts of, "Wha wha?" but bare with me.. it was cold and I took it as fast as I could so I didn't have to be outside very long.
BUT THERE IS A TALE THAT GOES WITH THIS.

Bryan called me today and told me all about how he hung up a Jenell and the Yets poster in his store window.
It's 12:15 am, Jenell and I are driving home from "Be Kind, Rewind" (michel gondry.. you are so creative.. it's sick.) and I decide to pull over to let a cop pass me because I was going to slow down to see it.
HOWEVER - the cop pulls up behind me and throws his lights on!
The very light I am pointing to (yes i'm there) in the picture is out. He told me it was a sign of a drunk driver so he had to check it out.

So there you go. Make sure all your headlights are all up to date and working properly. If they're not - you are more apt to drink alcohol and drive your car. Lesson learned.

can i call you sweetheart?

tv's fixed.
internet's fixed.
phone's are fixed.
but most importantly - my car is fixed! no more loud annoying squeaky brakes!

I know you can't really tell, but that is - another - flat tire on my car.
enough is enough with the car trouble, damn it.

my motto's always been: when it's right, it's right

So my dad, my sister and I were sitting at a red light when suddenly - my dad says, "OH SHIT". I knew it was bad because he hardly ever randomly screams curse words. Next thing I know - I fly forward, my purse goes on the dashboard and lands back in my lap. I look up, see we're partially in the other lane and see we hit someone in front of us and just know we got hit from behind. My dad then got out of the car to make sure everything was okay. I looked back at my sister and I'm like, "are you okay?" and she goes, "Oh my God" and i see in the review part of the back of the car sticking out.

I look next to us and the woman who hit us intially from behind is on her cellphone crying and the woman who she made us hit is out of her car throwing the "f" word around (she is pictured here bitching at my dad about how wreckless teenagers are while driving). I didn't like that woman because she kept saying stupid things and kept telling me and my sister we had to tell the cops what happened and that she had NOTHING to do with it. Later, she stood with me looking at my Dad's car, which was messed up in the back and the front, telling me how her car was basically fine and how well it's built. How rude!

But we're okay! I got seatbelt burn, my neck kinda hurts and I have a headache, my dad's fine and my sister's shoulder is sore, but I think she's gonna pull through!

I'm just sad cause I think if we had gone to dinner, afterwards, I was going to get a free pair of shoes out of the evening! Damn it!

come on people now... smile on your brother

And yo, the motor vehicle inspection center lied. it actually took 80 minutes.
I was outside a lot today, first waiting in my car for 80 minutes, then going to south street to make dreams come true.
However, unlike the motor vehicle inspection center, the weather stayed at a reported 75 and didn't go to 80, but I'm more than okay with that.

come home, sally.

Why do my tires do this to me?!
This time, while driving all over south jersey, a piece of metal about an inch and a half wide lodged into my tire.
I just don't have good luck with such things.
Biggity Blah!
