I Can't Get Started...

Well today certainly didn't go as planned. My intent was to blow this town as soon as class was over to get home for the weekend, as Silas is leaving Monday for nothing short of the Peace Corps, and I won't see him again until 2008. Despite how quickly it's nearing 2006, that is still an awfully long time, and I will miss my long-running friend tremendously.

In an effort to expedite the whole hit-the-road process, I drove to the front of the neighborhood this morning so I could just hop off the S bus and into my car. Something happened on the way though, and as I parked I heard a disturbing "hsssssss." Ohh you guessed it, I popped a tire. I missed 2 busses while talking to my dad about it, and when I finally made it to the bus stop, a passing car's hubcap came flying off and smacked me in the foot! It was like my dead tire's spirit had possessed the hubcap and sought to punish me for however it'd been wrongly abused.

Classes finished, I returned, and Nathanael, amazing friend of the week, sweetly (uh, I mean, very masculinely) came to change my tire for me. Go ahead and gag, feminists, but I'd never done it before. The lack of a flat surface made it a long process, but once the spare was on, we realized it was flat as well! I cautiously drove to the gas station across the street for air, but wouldn't you know it, the air pump was broken!! A tow truck was promptly called. However, it did not promptly arrive. Nathanael left at about 5:30, and the also amazing Lauren came to chill with me until it came. The entire ordeal wasn't done until about 7, but thank goodness for outstanding friends who will spend their Fridays behind a sketchy gas station with me!

So, here I still am in Chapel Hill, not doing the homework I have. Now I realize that was a tedious story, but you clicked on the link, so you have to deal with it. I will end on some random notes:

1) Have you ever heard Gwen Stefani talk? This is a 36 year old woman, yet she sounds like a 14 year old mall rat who isn't taking any AP classes, if you know what I mean.

2) THIS is Rainbow Brite -




















This is a shame -
