Guess What?!?

I HAVE A CAR!! I know it's a little late, I got it on Thursday and I have just been so busy since that I haven't posted yet. I love my little car! The inside is atrocious, much worse than I remembered. Oh well, I got a pretty good deal on some professional upholstery cleaner so I am going to try that, and if it doesn't work, I get my money back. Sweet deal. I think the reason why I love my car is it saved my life. Thursday, the day I bought the car, I drove to Athens even though I knew a bad snow storm was coming. I thought I could out run it but it caught up to me, and let me tell you, it was baaaaad. It took me 3 hours to get from Chillicothe to Athens, normally a 1 hour drive. But the car was great, it handled very well, except when I accidentally hit my breaks too hard. Luckily, I was the only one on the road, because I spun out a full 600 degrees. It was scary, but like I said, the car and myself handled it really well and I got to Athens safe :) So I have had another crazy week, and I have another one coming. I have to sign up for next quarters classes today and I feel like I haven't even started my current quarter. It just went by so fast! But yeah, I'll post some before and after pictures of the interior. I hope this stuff works.

It is the best of times, and the worst of times

It really is. I mean it's not the worst week ever or anything, but in comparison to prior weeks, this is the worst. I still don't have a car. That's right STILL! Me and the guy had a deal for him to deliver it on Tuesday, and here it is Wednesday going on Thursday, and still no car. I really am upset. But he is coming tomorrow morning. Also my ipod broke.
After two and a half faithful years, the screen has cracked beyond the point of usability. I mean it still plays music and all but you can't tell what. Everyone in the family pulled together to get me this device so that is why I have looked up other options, rather than just throwing it out. I have looked online and I can get a new screen for as low as $15, and I would have to install it myself. But it is starting to get a little bit dated. So I was wondering what the consensus was, New ipod, or fix the old. Let me know in the comments.

So, I Met My Car Today...

...and no, I did not take it home. Why? you ask. Well of course the guys other car brokedown, and he politely asked if he could use my car till tuesday when his car gets fixed. Then he will drive my car to me. Of course! Leave it to me to catch another snag, but in general I figured a little compassion and patience never did anyone any harm. I gave him a down payment so he knew I really wanted it, and I have a little contract that we both signed to make sure there was no confusion. But I got to give it a test drive, which was good. It was great! it was the complete manifestation of beater with a heater! But for some reason, I felt connected to the car and just really liked it anyway. I get like that about inatimate objects, I feel like I know what they want, and this car looked like it wanted some love. And I kinda knew that we were meant to be. Even in it's decrepid state it had so much personality, honest!
Anyway, minus the ignition problem and the akward placement of the shifter(it's lower than I'm used to), it runs really strong, and still has a lot of life in it. It's got a bunch of new stuff under the hood, which makes up for the neglected inside. Which definately needs a womans touch, or something! It's pretty dirty, and it is lacking in the front speaker department(it looked like someone tried to put in new ones and never got around to it) But nothing a junkyard visit, a little saudering, and a seat shampooing won't fix.
This is the Valentine from my car...


I don't know, I'm either really inspired, or really dumb, and there is only one way to find out.
So your prayers have been working up to this point, so keep doin what your doin! I sure hope I'm not just dumb, but it feels alright, it feels like I'm making the right choice. Oh well, I can't wait till tuesday!

Victory Is Mine!

Take that all you nay-sayers(a.k.a. myself) I have procured the item of my desire at last. A car with my name all over it!


It is not a honda, but it has everything I wanted in a car, besides the honda name. It is a 1997 Hyundai accent, stickshift, two door, in almost perfect running condition. The only things wrong with it are the windows don't roll down all the way, and the inside plastic door handle on the drivers side broke,but you can still get out. I am so excited and will be getting it on Friday, or Saturday at the latest.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

No car for me :(

Wow, my patience is running thin. I am so tired of looking for cars, yet everyday there I am looking on craigslist, calling people and not getting a car. Oh well... I'm kind of being particular on the car I buy, because I need it to last me at least a year. I mean I could have had like 4 ford tempo's and 6 geo metro's, but I know they won't even last the trip to Chillicothe.
Anyway, today was an alright day, but let me tell you, my head sure does hurt. If any of you are farmiliar with audio production, you may have heard of the program "Pro-Tools" it is basically and virtual interface of a normal analog mixing board. Well since I am in the audio class, I decided that I am going to learn the program to the fullest of my ability. I don't know, I just really want to do it. So today was day 1, I sat down and did like 4 hours of introduction demos and learned how to do about 2 things. Oh well you have to start somewhere, but I actually learned more just playing around with the program than from the tutorials. But they are really helpful. Well that's all for now, I just wanted to let you know that i did not get the car. so sad.
oh yeah, does anyone know why blogger won't let my spellcheck, I push the icon and nothing happens, same with the picture icon. hmph, puzzling.

Get out of my dreams, and give me a car!

So I'm looking to enter more into the adult world by owning my first car. I already got my drivers license, went to prom, graduated from high school, moved out of the house, got a speeding ticket... You know, everything that brings you from childhood, into an official adult. After weeks of looking at potential cars, sending countless emails, calling countless people, and either getting no response or people not wanting to sell it to me because they think I could do better than their car, I have found my car. It is a 1992 stick shift Honda civic. I am in love! It has high miles and a tire rod that needs replaced but all in all it fits my needs. I mean all I really need/can afford is a beater with a heater and I'm good. I will know tomorrow if it is to be mine and I am so excited I can barely study! So everyone pray for me, and hope that it all works out!


And now for my report on everything else.
I am doing pretty good in school right now. I am struggling with the audio class because of the imposing nature of trying to understand everything there is about sound. But I am just going to sit down with my book this weekend become one with the world of audio production. I am doing alright with my other classes, but I am now halfway through the quarter and that's when things start to get tough. I have a 10 page term paper due at the end of the quarter that I haven't even thought about. So if any of you have any ideas for a sociology term paper pertaining to social issues in our culture, let me know.
This weekend was Drew's b-day and Whitney drove me to Athens to celebrate. I got him a sweet b-day present, pulling my inspiration from the "Dave Brown's-Book of awesome ideas" and wrote out "the 19 things that remind me of Drew". It wasn't as awesome as I had hoped because of the lack of "moolah" but Drew loved it. So we sat around and talked and had a really nice time. But I was feeling a little down in the dumps, because I felt like no one besides Drew remembered or even cared about me in Athens. But that quickly changed when I walked into the house that Drew's B-day party was at.
I was ambushed, everyone yelled my name and proceeded to hug me,pick me up, and give me kisses on the cheeks. Drew's room mate Jeremy even put me on his shoulders and carried me around and I was giving everyone high-fives. I had no idea that people cared that much. All night one by one everyone came up to me specifically to tell me how much they missed me and that they love it when I'm around, it was a good feeling.
So I have been smiling ever since! Drew was nice to me, I feel loved, I feel like people care, I might be getting my first car. This has just been a very good week.
