ok so today. went to bed around 7:45 AM. ali called at 9:30 or so, to see if i wanted to go to lunch with her, and i incoherently told her i'd only been sleeping for about an hour and a half or so and went back to sleep. woke up around 11 cuz caryn and tessa were louuuud (but its ok). went back to sleep. got up around noon cuz i couldn't sleep anymore. i went to lunch with sarah, heathro, jessie, kim, and ryan blodgett and reno ate with us. ryan makes me laugh a lot. after that i burned myself some cds (yellowcard, story of the year, trapt, and the calling) cuz i left my computer at school and i needed those 4 cds. then i packed up. and showered. and talked to ali on the phone while i put on makeup. haha. its a good thing i love janson... :) then i went to jansons. we hung out there until his mom came home, and then we went to pancho's. good stuff. he makes me laugh so much. especially when he tells stories. :) we went to best buy afterwards, and then back to his house. i stayed for about an hour, then i had to get going. i stopped and got a bit of gas since i was almost running on fumes, lol... so i was fine most of the way home. it wasn't until i got to westville that my trip began to suck big time. i stopped at the light by the marathon station in between westville and damascus. as i was coming to a stop, my car did this funky shuddering thingy, and my engine and gage lights came on. my car stalled. just as the light turned green, of course. so i turned on my blinkers. i turned my car off and back on, off and back on, off and back on, finally got it to run enough so that i could pull off a bit and not be in the middle of the road, and messed around with it a bit until it ran enough to get it to the gas station. i used my phone card (i'm so glad that i almost always carry one...) to call home. mom and i decided that i should just drive and see if i made it home. good strategy.... lol. it stalled once again at the big stoplight in between damascus and salem. it was then that i figured out that i only had problems with it when i stopped. so i pretty much didn't stop the rest of the way. i either coasted very slowly to a stop, or coasted to a light hoping it would change soon. i made it to mcdonalds ok. but something really random happened when i was driving past wal-mart, still in salem.... i was listening to yellowcard, and the song believe was playing. i was only half-listening cuz i was just thinking and praying and stuff. and then i heard this....
"Everything is going to be alright
Everything is going to be alright
Everything is going to be alright
Be strong, believe"
and i just knew that i was gonna make it home. i was so scared that it was gonna stall and someone was gonna run into me or something, but those words made me feel so much better. i thought it was kinda ironic (not the right word, but i can't think of another one) that God was talking to me through yellowcard tho, haha. i think i listened to that song like 3 more times after that.
i made it to mcdonalds ok, i called my mom and talked to her, and checked my schedule (see below). my car stalled once more on the way home at a stop sign, so i ran the other stop sign. its a 4 way stop, so i could see that no one was coming. i didn't feel like dealing with it again. i've never run a stop sign before. it was strange.
everyone was in bed except mom when i got home. but tim had just gone to bed, so he came down and helped me unload my car. then i just sat on the couch and talked to mom while she played zoo tycoon, waiting for her to get off the computer. and thats where i've been for the last hour, sitting here being unproductive. my stuff is in a huge pile on the floor behind me but i don't plan on messing with it tonight. all well. i have a freaking WEEK!
i'm meeting brittany and jaclyn at sunny's tomorrow for lunch at 1. i'm excited. :) at least something good happened in the last few hours...
