someone owes me one day
i do believe today was the stupidest day ever. okay, that's too far. butt i really was determined to have a good day, butt so many stupid little things kept happening that it effectively ruined my day. it's all really quite ridiculous and will seem pretty lame once relayed, butt it just all led to so much frustration and very little outlet
i guess it started out pretty uneventful, butt once i started working on my car it was all downhill from there. these are the three main events:
1. i decided, after way too many miles/months, that i had to change my oil. at first it was lots of dumb little things. for instance, placing the oil pan directly under the oil drain butt having the oil pour out so fiercely that it somehow arched right over the pan onto the driveway. and then after i've moved the pan to accommodate the arch, it starts to drip as it loses force and drips onto the driveway where the pan had previously been. the real kicker was spending at least 45 minutes under the car trying to loosen that fucking oil filter, which, i swear, must have been tightened by the freakin' hulk. finally, i had to ask my dad for help, which really pissed me off because i just wanted to be able to do it by myself.
2. still in relatively good spirits, i laugh about the whole thing when i meet up with mrs_ajax. after a nap and dinner we head to industrial strength for our christmas/six months' (happyfrogg, i know you don't believe it, butt that's all it's been) presents. butt i guess industrial strength forgot to turn back their clocks because those fuckers were closed an hour early. and i could see those fuckers all standing around inside, yet they were closed. i wanted to go punch drunk love on their plate glass doors. i think this is what really ruined my day, bc five months ago we tried to get these same piercings and tried three different places and a temper tantrum before giving up. just like last time, i got really excited which, just like last time, meant i was really disappointed.
3. trying to recover the evening, will and i decide to rent a movie and drink hot chocolate. well, will spills the chocolate all over me and a few other things, which is more funny than anything else. then my sister calls and says she really needs help wrapping gifts for her students and coworkers. i feel bad for her, so i decide to come home, which really bums will and me out because it cut our night a lot shorter than we had expected. and to top it all off, i didn't feel like i was helping her so much as i was doing all the work while she talked at me.
dumb. all so ridiculously dumb. two sort of amusing stories, though:
1. when we were at the bank, i looked over at one of the employees who was sitting at her desk. i guess she didn't realize it, butt i could completely see up her skirt, and there was a gigantic hole in the crotch of her nylons.
2. the first thing i said to will when we entered the video store was, "we could've gotten two boxes of wine for the same price!" which really cracked up the only employee, hell, the only person, i ever see there. and i guess i was still angry about the piercing so it sounded like i was angry about the wine. haha, that guy thinks i like boxed wine.
