Butterfly’s Flutterings

If any one read this blog I’m sure they would be aware that I haven’t written over the last few days. I haven’t had the chance to really spend time at the computer.I have had on hell of a time, and not in a good way. Let me break it down for you.

Monday 21st , The Wind Shield Wiper Dilemma:

I drive a Toyota Carrolla. It s a 91. Well when I bought it the girl told me that the fuse for the windshield wipers were blown. I never thought to doubt her so I figured I would get it fixed someday. I bought it at the beginning of last summer, and I live in California. It rained once during the whole summer. I had no need of wipers. It’s now December and I really do need windshield wipers. I went to get them fixed on Monday. Well its not a fuse. My type of car doesn’t even have a fuse for the wipers. It’s a bar that goes from one side of the car to the other and connects the wiper’s motor to the wipers themselves. The stupid thing is twisted  all to hell. And now I have to spend like 50 dollars for another one. To top it off the whole time the guy was looking at it, I was standing out side in the snow. It took like an hour. my feet were freezing!

After I learned of  that  new problem I went to pay bills. Of course that didn’t go as planned either.  I ran out of checks. I need to order new ones. So a very unlucky day for me. now on to tuesday…

Tuesday 23rd, The Broke Down Hoe Down:

I woke up to a bright and clear sunshiny day. No wipers needed. I was so very happy.  i needed to take my sister to the doctors. I had to take her to Susanville. 45 min. away. We got there and of course made a stop at starbucks. I love thier White Mocha, and the cinnamon dulce latte.   Then to Wal-mart.

O.k so I am a completely car ignorant. But it wasn’t my fault for once!!

I own a 1991 toyota corolla. Its in really good shape. The battery was starting to die when it got really cold so I went to buy a new one at wal-mart. My sister and I were just going to put it in ourselves but we had to ask a guy for a pair of pliers to loosen a bolt. He offered to put it in for us. Me being a complete girl and not wanting battery acid to get on my clothes I accepted. Any ways the idiot put it on backwards. Even I know enough to hook negative to negative and positive to positive. Well of course it wouldn’t start. I had no idea what went wrong and he left. I thought maybe i just bought a dud. We asked another person I knew to give us a jump with my old battery 20 min later. When I went to go switch them is when he noticed that it was on backwards. We switched it the right way and tried again. Nothing. So then we put the old battery in and tried to jump it and of course still nothing. This is when I decided to call for a ride home. When my ride got to me he looked at it and saw that a fusable link was burnt. I bought a new one and now my car will turn like it want to start but it wont catch and actually start. All the lights inside the car work and so do the headlights, blinkers and tail lights. And all the other fuses in the car are fine as well.I’ve been told it could be a number of things.
-burnt wires
-the igniter
-the cylinoid (sp?)

could cost me like $500.00 usd. or soI’ve been told. I still need to have a real mechanic look at it.

That’s the short version. Well my car is still broken and I have to walk back and forth to work. Thats ok though as long as the roads are either covered in snow or completely clear. I hate walking in slush.

Christmas Day!! dec. 24th and 25th:

So i ended up having to stay the night at my sisters house on the 23rd and the 24th. I hate not being at my own place at night. I really don’t mind having visitors myself but I don’t like to do the visiting. Is that weird? But Except for the sleeping arrangements I had a blast. We stayed up playing Manopoly and Scrabble both nights. I kicked ass at scrabble but i don’t think I have the necessary amount of evil to win at Manopoly. We had or family dinner on Christmas eve. It was really late because my sisters mother in law forgot to thaw the turkey. We had all the usual stuff.

On Christmas day I had to work so i found a ride home so that I could get ready. It was a really borring day at work.

And for the rest of the story:

Between Christmas and new years I didnt do anything extremely different. I started a new friendship with a girl online. She is really nice. Her name is Mac. And she belongs to the same forum as I do. I have had a lot of fun getting to know her.

I think I got my friend Carson mad at me. I basically told him that he needs to stop playing games with me. He  keeps me on a hook in a way. We were seeing each other almost two months ago and then he got transferred. But there is still the chance that he will come back. We keep in touch via text, msn and sporadic phone calls. I was always under the impression that it was just as friends. But every once in a while he’ll call me and say ” I miss you so much” or ” I wish I was still with you up there hunny”. I mean how am i supposed to take that. When I told him that it confuses me too much when he did that he just came back with crap like. “ok whatever you say.”  Asshat. Or whenever i ask him a question about his personal life since he’s left he’ll act as if I’m acting  jealous or something. I’m not i just want to know. How can you have a conversation with someone who doesn’t say anything in return. So now he’s not talking to me.

Tues. 30th Time to PAAAARRTAAAY!! ok so this is the rest of the story:

I went to a party that was thrown not on new years but the day before. There is a very good reason for this. Every December thirtieth we throw this party.

My friend Summers dad died on this day 3 years ago. He died of semi natural causes. I say semi cause sometimes there is just nothing natural in cancer these days. But he was one of the most hospitable men I have ever known. His biggest joy in life was getting people together to have a good time. So that is how we celebrate him on his anniversary. Not through sadness but through a good ol’ small town party. It was a blast. I got a little too drunk and spent the next day with a hangover. which of course was New years eve. I ended up spending new years talking to friends on the internet and to my good friend Kristtan on the phone.  And now here it is new years day and I’m at work once again.
