oh the joy of weekends.

this weekend truly has been one of ups and downs. some inspirational ups, and some downs that weren't so pleasent but were a snap back to reality.



my main weekend event was an enormous one that has continued and will continue to impact me all week. my car died. this is not an exaggeration. i was backing out of ali's driveway and it decided to hate me and die. it's not the battery because my car turns on, the engine just won't turn over. allow me to set the tone of the event though. it's 8:57 pm and i'm pulling out of ali's driveway in ogelthorpe park. i'm halfway out of her driveway and my car shuts off, no warning, nothing to tell me it was going to do so. i turn the car on, attempt to get the engine to turn over and fail. miserably. three times. ali walks out of her house laughing and says, "i thought a bird died," and i said, "no ali, try a car". i attempt to back my car out of the driveway in neutral, but my steering wheel is locked and won't turn so i end up sticking out halfway in the street. my mother comes to call triple a and rescue me, but i then find out that it will the extremely reliable company at least an hour to send a tow truck. my mother and i end up getting into an argument about college and i tell her, "i would no longer like to sit her in the car with you". she then tells me i can walk home. my mother doesn't realize how determined and headstrong i am, so i begin my one and two-thirds of a mile trek home. do realize i'm wearing what i wore to work so i am wearing capris, heels, a nicer shirt, and a jacket. i get in front of st. william's catholic church before i realize that one of my favorite earrings has fallen out, and that i left my cell phone in the back of my mom's car. so i am phoneless, at 9:20 pm walking frederica road with no phone and one earring. thankfully i realize when i get to the demere-frederica intersection that i have chocolate in my pocket so i can eat for the first time since that morning. needless to say, i make it home at 10:10 pm and am now carless.

here's the most hilarious movie i have ever seen in my entire life. it is a japanese game show that, in my opinion, should be aired in america. it makes me love the brilliance of asains even more. thank you for sharing your incredibly smart stupidity.
