This blog speaks for itself. It's just a recap of the weekend of my 24th birthday. Needless to say after this I needed a stiff drink.
Original Blog Date: Tuesday, January 30, 2007
Friday: On my lunch break I went to cash my check (GOOD TIMES) and left car keys locked in car with car on! FANTASTIC! Asked a police officer for help and he said the county took away their Jimmy's... Awesome... I WAITED 1 HOUR and some-odd in the bank waiting for a Locksmith (super expensive-o and a complete waste!), when a young man at the bank offered to try to pry open my car. Different cop sees us STRUGGLIN' and comes over and says the most ironic phrase in the history of desperate times, "want me to open that for you in like 2 MINUTES?" My reply, "Yes, an HOUR ago!" Good news is I saved a shitload of money by switching to Geico (just kidding) but I did save on the aforementioned locksmith :) Then Friday evening- I get A FRANTIC phone call that a mutual friend of mine is in the hospital (thank goodness I called his girlfriend for a calmer account of the situation) turns out my buddy's gonna make it after all! Just like Mary Tyler Moore!
Saturday: uneventful (my fault- sorry to my friend Jackie, but more sorry for me, it's my birthday weekend for crying out loud!)
Sunday: Got the new kitchen in the new apartment installed (FABULOUS and GORGEOUS!) DOWNSIDE ~ Some fucker hit my car when doing some maneuver he/she OBVIOUSLY did not know how to do! Unhinged my left side-view mirror DAMN YOU!
Monday: APOCALYPSE NOW... My car breaks down, (battery/alternator/ bad maintenance due to owner being a girl, me, who knows squat about cars except how to speed!), dies (the car not the girl) in the middle of HELL-A-LEAH, some tow truck driver comes to "rescue" aka sexually harass girl while towing car to safety... then takes girl to an ATM machine whereby I am supposed to cough up a mere $55 smackers for towing my insignificant car 20 blocks- HONESTLY! So I go to said ATM and get 60 beans. I pay the douche, and he says he doesn't have the 5 bananas to pay me back (ARE YOU FRIGGIN' KIDDING ME?!?!?) He's like is $4 OK? AND NEVER HANDED ME THE MULA... Yea it's OK- SCHMUCK. Finally home after said ordeal...Get home quick fast to renew AAA membership so this Bullshit does not happen again.... but... where's my... ATM machine? OH NO!! Mother-of-pearl, I flippin' left my damn ATM card in the dinkin' machine, I return and lo-and-behold it's not there anymore!
Tuesday: Woke up crazy early to get a ride to work from el BROVA-man. On the way... I forgot my dress shoes... return trip 1. Get to work. Later, on my lunch break, 900 missed calls later... 1 Voicemail from the bro, "ELAINE HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GET THE CAR FIXED IF YOU HAVE THE CAR KEYS!" Mistake. OOPS, I am officially a tard.
Wednesday (el futuro)- my birthday... no car, no cash, no fun. PRICELESS.The end...or is it? Could my luck get possibly worse or is there really nowhere to go but up from here? (I've got to say, all in all, I'm optimistic- it has to get better now right?) No worries- it's just life. I'm gonna make the best of it, even when it's kickin' me so hard it's knockin' the wind out of me. ::Insert silver lining here::
For now, that's all kiddies.
Update: Honestly, I can't remember how that birthday went... I'm sure I resisted against any celebrating. But it's these kinds of things you have got to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and just say yes, I can... as Eeyore would say.
