A few bits of business to discuss, and by bits of business I mostly mean stuff I said I do, or should have done or you assumed I do that I haven't done. So:
Thursday night:(And if those of you who know my parents wanted NOT to mention this to them? That'd be great. They'll be getting a Cliff's Notes version.)
Okay, so came home after my last class at like 6:30 and my housemate, lets call her... M, M does nicely, asks if I have plans. I REALLY don't. So she's all "Wanna come see my band perform at a night club?" and, um, yeah, I do.
So we get in the car and we're driving to Santa Monica to this club,
Temple Bar, which made me giggle and pray I wouldn't have to explain the humor to M.
M's all excited when her car starts and is like "Don't worry, it always starts with a jump, and I'm taking it to the shop on Tuesday." So, okay.
We're driving down the 10 Freeway and we hear kind of a loud bang and a bump and I just assumed we'd run over something. So then a few minutes later we hear a kind of flapping sound. We've blown a tire. Awesome.
So M pulls over and we're STANDING on the side of a FREEWAY and M gets out her spare and jack and tire iron thingie and then sees that there's a call box so she goes, calls, comes back, and says they're sending a Highway Patrol car. Awesome, we wait, and wait, and it's been like an hour since she called so we start working off the tire ourselves. And then the CHP guy shows up and he won't help. He leaves his headlights on so we can kinda see a little better. As we change a tire. In the dark. On the side of a FREEWAY. We do it, and go us.
Then M's like "Stay here. I'm going to make sure the car will start and I don't want the cop to drive away." Guess what? The car won't start. And the CHP guy can't give us a jump 'cause of the way we're parked. Or something. So he kindly calls a tow truck. Which we wait another hour for.
***FUN-FACT: Tow-truck guys are nicer than CHP officers.***
FINALLY we get to
Temple Bar which is really quite cool, and serves yummy food, and M bought me a rum and mango concoction. Of course the frink came before the food and LITERALLY all I'd eaten Thursday was a vegan Lemon-Poppyseed cookie. So the alcohol went straight through me. Gave me a headache, and then we spent like 3 hours there. Which would have been fine if I'd felt better and M hadn't been all "we'll hang out before my show and then leave." Her friend was there and he'd brought this creepy old man along who kept talking to me and it was distressing. He asked if I'd ever heard of
Green Day.
So we got home around 1 and I crashed.
4 Things That Don't Suck (from/for
avoidingnemo):1. It isn't yesterday and thus my headache is gone.
2. I have lots of left-over Chinese in the fridge.
3.
Veronica Mars DVDS!
4. SS and I might possibly go do something fun and awesome tonight. I *LOVE* her. In a "thank god someone here kinda cares about me a little" sense. Which, stil, yay!
With little to no segue: I am debating joining
fanfic100. It would, almost definitely be for
Veronica Mars, but I am undecided about a pairing or doing it at all. Thoughts? Feelings? Emotions?
Also: I will not be meta-fying the latest
Veronica Mars episode. Not that I have any significant problems with it, but, (and I'm paraphrasing
miss_begonia here), I'm along for the ride. I like where it's going so far, and I have utter trust in the writers (which is kind of a crazy and new feeling), so I'm going to let it ride. I refuse to lose
Veronica Mars the way I did
The O.C., so the nit-picking shall be held to a bare minimum, because I really do have absolute confidence in this show and where it intends to lead.
