This means any bump could break them, and me as the driver could lose complete control of the car, probably resulting in a big accident and maybe even death.Michael has yelled at me for finding this out because we have no money. I went to get an oil change and get our turn signals replaced. The owner was worried about me driving the car, but he let me decline the service and go home, telling me to go very very slowly...http://autumn-snows.livejournal.com/286569.html (Untitled)- June 20, 2008 Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll try to write a post about it.http://autumn-snows.livejournal.com/286222.html (Untitled)- June 17, 2008 heh.very amusing.past day two things have brought me back to sophomore year at college.1. I just heard yesterday Xanadu is now a Broadway musical. My sophomore year roomie, Sue, always said Xanadu was her favorite movie. made me reminisce about her.2. seeing that The Cure put out another new album made me think of Laura and how she's doing.. and a little bit about Aaron from way back when.I don't feel I've gone very far in my life since then. heh.http://autumn-snows.livejournal.com/286096.html Things on my mind- June 15, 2008 - my job is too stressful for little reward. I have stopped enjoying work; sure I get recognized but my wage is tiny and I don't get satisfaction from it anymore. I can't ask for a recommendation for a new job either because everyone would hate me. - while I know it is noble for mike to take care of his parents I wish that we could have our place. I want to marry him but not with his parents living in the same house; if I bring it up he says I want to ruin his day and refuses to talk about it...http://autumn-snows.livejournal.com/285808.html |
