update: Rest of the stuff showed up, haven't had any effin' time to do anyting cause of classes. So, i've been blatantly spending money on tools. Mom's burban went to the tranny shop yesterday, so she can have her gas guzzling vehicle that she LIKES, and i can have the solid, steady little wagon that she thought was too ugly and old. jezus, it's like i'm married, I tell you. never satisfied. Anyhow, owner of my camaro club had to pull his wife and three kids out of a flaming astro van the other day. So far, all kids and spouse have survived. I still can't believe it tho. I also went and picked up a big block a coupla days ago. 454, as a matter of fact. the guy i bought it from was a ford guy, who had no use for it, and hte guy HE bought it from had put it together and had no oil pressure on startup, so he yanked it and sold it. this was 4-5 years ago. Basically, the block has all brand new parts. i could sell it piecemeal, and make over twice what i paid for it...assuming nothing was trashed. But it looks in good condition.
I don't know what's up lately. Maybe it's cause i don't have time to be cool and laid back, but it sure seems like this is piss off the friends week. First I piss off some guys and gals that i hang with every so often, by telling the chick who was pissed at her b/f that i support whatever she was gonna do. Big mistake. All of a sudden i'm involved in drama, which i tell everyone i have no intention of continuing in. Then i got crazy, wierdo, freaky girl that i go on date with. Then I got to deal with my buddy who has worked at an autozone for the past 3 years, and still knows nothing about cars. yes, the same one i sold the hood to, if anyone is even reading these posts.
Did I mention open computer labs suck? I got people i don't know aguing with other people about the world about to end, and then coming over and talkign to me. Some old dude came ringing on my doorbell, and knocking like the damn police, shoved my mailman out of the doorway, and wanted to know if i wanted him to mow my lawn. Well, it IS almost a full moon, I guess. And I have always had this wierdo magnet thing going.
Classes suck. i have 3 touchy-feely classes back to back now. Speech...i'm sorry, interpesonAL communication (damn shift button wont work) I had years ago at butler...I couldn't stand it or the busy work that I have to do for the class, so I left early, and went to find out if I could get out of it. NOPE..."Here at friends, your program is a package deal. No matter how much it may hurt, you have to bend over for us for another year" then 2 more classes at butler, where I have to sit on my ass and listen to two instructors who love to hear themselves talk. Nice enuf people, and lecture is intersting (kinda) but SIX GODDAMN HOURS of sitting twice a week is driving me nuts...and with all the stupid busywork/community service, groups projects and all this other stupid kiddy shit, I don't have time to breathe, let alone work enuf to pay bills, or work on car. WHY, GOD????
