That's right life, be punative.

1300$. Yep, that's what it'll cost to fix Yukio. Two bad oxygen sensors (adeliedreams had that right) and a bad catalytic converter. They of course don't have the parts. I have to bring it back. They tell me its safe to drive. I get to the faculty parking lot without a hitch and as I swing it in to park, the engine dies.

Now it starts right up but I look at the parts list and think...that shouldn't happen with these parts. This is hardly SAFE. I call the garage and tell them this and they said...it did WHAT? That's not right. Maybe we better expediate those parts. Yeah you do that. Well i said I wanted to spend off my savings before the student loans took it all...


Too top it off I don't feel well. I'm having bad dreams again. Nothing new there. For some reason nightmares are hooked into PMS (anyone ever read any literature on why that might be?) I don't remember most of it (waking up every 2 hours will do that to you) But one I do remember I'm at my grandmother's and for some reason evil_little_dog and mjules are with me. I was desperate to get out of the house but for some reason the path outside between the house and the vehicles was completely umbrellaed by enormous spider webs and within the webs were huge, dripping bee hives filled with killer bees. AND there was neck high water on the ground to boot. So every time I tried to swim past the bees would get me but there wasn't a way to completely get under the water so my head kept getting stung. Thanks Brain. I appreciate it.

YEEESH on the car.

(It occurs to me that my car still doesn't have a name. This should be rectified. I've had her for nine years.)

As for your dreams - I think it's probably hormones. It's well-documented that pregnant women have freakish dreams, and my body tends to manifest pregnancy-type symptoms on PMS. On the other hand - GEE THANKS for dragging me into that one with you. I am terrified of arachnids and stinging insects.

Ooh, if I made it out to Columbus to see a friend of mine who lives there, any chance of convincing you to drive down to see me? *GRINS* (I have no time-table on this yet, so... it would likely be after Yukio's fixed, at least.)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Columbus OH? That's no problem so long as it's not the middle of the week. You'll be about an 1 1/2 north of me there in a city I know better than any other.

Yeah I know. I just want to know how these hormones effect brain chemistry, see THIS is something I would study if I were a researcher.

And I'm good at throwing my friends under the bus with me

[mjules.livejournal.com]

I think it'd be fun to be a researcher. Totally.

And it would have to be a weekend; I can't take off work. But she got married... oh hell, a year and a half ago now? And I have yet to meet her new husband because I couldn't make it to the wedding! This is inexcusable. So I will be needing to go to Columbus sometime soon for sure.

I normally don't mind but... why did it have to be that particular bus? *whimpers* Indiana Jones has snakes, I have... those. *shudders*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Inexcusable? I was supposed to go see my firend's kid after she was born. She's 9. I've yet to get there.

but yet Columbus is easily doable.

i hate spiders and bees too

OMG broken vehicles suck!

And last night I had odd dreams too. AND I woke up like every hour to half hour. And it IS that time of the month. So I dunno. Very wierd.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

they really do suck

I'm just wondering if the hormones have some impact on brain chemistry....hmmm now if only i were at a school that did research

[druinsanity.livejournal.com]

that would actually be an interesting study. I've never seen anything written about it.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i haven't either but I've not read a lot of professional journals on brain chemistry or psych

Random Driveby Icon-Loving.

MMMMmmmmmMal. *drools*

(No, I don't have an oral fixation or anything. Why do you ask?)

[druinsanity.livejournal.com]

hee! He's yummy isn't he? I'm lovin' me some of your icon too. Mainly the Mal part. *cough* *nod nod*

[mjules.livejournal.com]

Long ago, when my Firefly fannishness was being slowly replaced by new fandoms (due to a sad lack of new material in the Firefly 'verse), I went through and purged my icons. Before then, I had a plethora of Mal. Now I only have the first one I used and this one.

But, yes. That man... *nodnod* Yes. I could tie him to a four-poster bed and be a happy, happy girl.

[druinsanity.livejournal.com]

ohhhhhh the lovely images that raises to my overactive imagination... *cackle*

Ahem... I mean... *blink*

:D

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Notice my lack of worry about killer bees and spiders. *laugh* However, Yukio is not supposed to fall apart like this. Where's that terrific Japanese, "drive forever" attitude? *frowns*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

he's getting close to that 'drive forever' mark. He's well over 100,000 miles and he's always had sensor problems.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

OH, well. I see the point.
