Good/bad couple of days. Sunday I went to Sheetz to get some food and an iced latte (vanilla caramel low-sugar iced latte from Sheetz = heaven. really, try it) before work. The heat index was over 100 so I was blasting my AC. It was working fine and then all of a sudden it stopped blowing cold air and it was kind of warm. I didn't think much of it and just opened the windows instead.

Anyway, I worked for a while and then headed home to get ready. I set out for my drive to MD for some awesome birthday activities with the boyfriend. We were going to see The Strangers Sunday night, hang out with Jackie and Shawn, then go to Cunningham Falls State Park Monday around noon to hike to the falls, play in the sand, and possibly swim in the lake. This, however, never happened. Well, the getting to MD part and seeing the Strangers did happen, but we'll get to that later.

So I was driving my normal route, but was not feeling okay. It was hot as crap in my car because my AC refused to work. I had to drive with the windows down and then try to blast my music so I could hear it. All this made me feel really anxious. I didn't feel right. But I drove on.

After I got sick of all the heat, I texted my mom telling her the AC might be broken so she said she would call Kris (the guy who fixes our cars). She then calls me and asks me random questions. Then my car starts to lose it's acceleration. I had to put the gas petal practically to the floor to get it up to the speed limit. My mom then realized something and asked me quickly "Is the car overheating?!!?" and I looked and it was. I freaked out and pulled over and shut off my car.

I sat there asking my mom what I was supposed to do. I was getting panicky at this point. She told me to turn it off, pop my hood, and let it cool down. See if it is cooled off in like 20 minutes. Well, see, the heat index was over 100 and my car was on black asphalt here. It wasn't gonna cool down that fast. So I got off the phone and sat there, roasting. And I was roasting. It was that hot that sweat just rolls off you (just trying to let you picture how miserable it was out there). Not to mention the fact that I'm crying and panicking and basically freaking the fuck out. It didn't help I had no water and my cell phone only had 1 bar left.

Anyway, to cut this short. A cop pulled over behind me and called one of the highway safety people. He brought water to try to cool it off. My mom and Robert came shortly thereafter. My car wouldn't start so we had to get it towed, and I won't know the extent of the damage until later today. I know my radiator is shot. That is a fact because it has a crack in it. The only question is whether I fucked up my engine or not because I don't know how long my car was overheating before I noticed it.

As for Nathaniel's bday... I got him a band tshirt, a Warped ticket, and made him cookies :) We ended up stranded in the park for 2 hours in the heat because we had no transportation. Eventually his friend Nathaniel picked us up and we saw The Strangers. Not that great to be honest. We went to Outback for his bday and then chilled at Jackie's for a bit. I didn't get home until after 12:30am. Woops.

The car troubles I mentioned before? SUCK! It turns out you can't fix the part that randomly broke without buying a whole new door latch thing from Hyundai... which is going to cost like $300. My mom's paying for it since I literally have... $15 bucks to my name if I'm lucky (damn gas), but still. I have to pay her back. So I now owe her $1,600. Fuck meeeee.

On the bright side, it will be fixed tomorrow morning and then I'm heading up to Frederick for the weekend. I'll be staying with one of my friends Friday night who I don't see or talk to enough anymore. Then Saturday Nathaniel, Bryan, me, and I don't know who else is going to go see August Burns Red and I'm excited! I'll probably come back broken though haha.

You guys should do me a favor... join Bux.to (link is on my sidebar) and earn yourself some monies. And consequently me too. The site's legit. I just want some referals... please? :)

Oh, and if you were wondering where I've been lately? Playing The Sims 2. Obsessed. Totally obsessed.

So I went to the library earlier today to grab a book on hold for me (note to self: add to the list of books you're currently reading!), came home, had my mom park my car (shut up, even my mom has trouble parking where I have to), and everything was peachy keen.

But then I got some money from my mom to go to the grocery store. I drove there and when I went to get out of my car, nothing happened. I pulled the door handle a few more times--nothing. Locked, unlocked, tried again. Nothing. I had to crawl out my passenger side. With a guy in the car next to me. I went over to my driver door and it opened from the outside perfectly fine. I was looking at the side of it and everything, trying to see if something was caught in it. Nothing. The guy rolls down his window and asks if everything is okay. Haha. God.

So I get my stuff and come home. When I get home, the door still won't work.

So I have no clue what happened to it. It worked last time I was in the car. Mom was last. I don't think she did anything--all she did was park it. Who knows.

What I really want to do right now is bitch about work, but I'll keep it vague. Let's leave it as they cut my hours back, one of the bosses was really rude to me today, and I have $50 to last me until next Friday... with barely (if even) half a tank of gas.

So, basically, I can't do much of anything. I don't want to waste gas because I can't even buy another full tank of it until my next paycheck. I don't want to drive anywhere unless I have to. And besides, I need money for next Saturday when I go up to PA (might be taking my car, don't know yet) to go see August Burns Red in Lancaster for their video shoot.

I'm just so frustrated. I should have 30 hours on my next paycheck, but who knows. I forget when I worked last week. If they hadn't changed my schedule and if it didn't rain every other fucking day I would have over 60! God.

I should just find another job, but it's so stressful doing the whole application thing. I already turned down two jobs for this one and now I'm getting screwed over! It sucks so much. And now that most college kids are home for the summer, a lot of jobs aren't even hiring anymore. Besides that, I have so much random shit to do this summer: concerts I already bought tickets for, Nathaniel's birthday, our one year anniversary trip to King's Dominion, etc. I don't want to change jobs and not be able to do anything fun this summer.

Anyway, I'm done bitching. The end. Now time to play The Sims 2... it's all I do since I never work. Literally.
