The Car Hunt

Well my Bemmer hit 168k miles the other day. My poor baby's getting old. She hates this cold weather too. I had a little trouble starting her up on Tuesday to go to class. She still runs great, I just get nervous when she does that. She probably didn't like sitting in the cold for a few days without being started. I've been so sick this past week I could not even get out of bed. I'm pretty sure its bronchitis. I got to get my butt to the doctor Monday to clear this up. Anyways, I'm in the market for a newer car. I figure the getting is good in the car market since the economy has hit the car market pretty bad. My cars still worth a good penny so my parents are willing to help me out with something newer. My dad and I went car shopping on Friday. We were all over north Jersey looking at these Audi TT's. That car's got some ah-um's. I wasn't sold on them though. I don't hate the fact that most of them are manuals. Stick's are fun to drive. They just get annoying after awhile. However, during our car quest I came across a few Audi A4's that I liked. It was the last place we looked, at the last moment walking out three of them caught my eye. There was this one midnight blue V6 quattro, OMG. She was gorgeous! little high on the price though. But, she was only 2 grand over our max. I was hopping my "professional" wheel and dealer dad would work the guy down. No such luck. My dumb ass dad offers the guy 12 out the freaking door with a trade. I'm thinking to myself at this point "what the hell happened to Mr. Low Ball 2 lots ago?!" So of course we call my mom to see what she thought. No go on that deal. I was pissed. I loved that car. She had 86,000 miles which isn't bad on an 02' A4. My boyfriends 98' A4 has 200,000 miles on it and the bitch still runs like a champ and he's never had to replace anything major on it. Then today, I was like to hell with my dad, I'm bringing my secret weapon to look at another A4. So I met my boyfriend up in Asbury at this dealer we were at just last week to look at an S4 for him. They had the same car in silver with only 56,000 miles on it and they wanted 11,995. I brought my car for the guy to look at as a trade, and God bless my boyfriend (who instructs and races for Porsche BTW) he tried so hard to get this guy to come down on the price. Damn guy would only come down to 11,200 with my car! I was pretty bummed. I really liked this A4. I test drove it and everything, man did she handle too. After dinner we went back to the drawing board and came across a bunch of A4's in my price range, so hopefully I will hit the right one. Buying a car is so freaking stressful. Of course I can't settle for a Japanese or American car. I mean I've been spoiled with German engineering. That would be like going from Park avenue to the Park bench. And besides every single day I'd catch major crap from my boyfriend and all of his friends if I ever rolled up in a Honda. No offence, but they all race Porsche's, I just can't do it. I hope I find something soon...

Turkey Day!

So Thanksgiving has come and gone, and we have about 3 weeks till Christmas!! My Thanksgiving was kind of depressing. My mom decided she wasn't cooking this year so we had our turkey dinner at a restaurant. I did not like this at all. It felt so wrong. It was also difficult to stuff my face since my brother and I drank to oblivion the night before. I felt like crap the whole day. I was supposed to go to my boyfriends parents afterwards but, I was so sick. Not only was I extremely hungover but, this damn cold I caught off him wont go away. Its been a week and I still can't breathe. I felt awful about not going but, there was no way in hell I was driving an hour up north in holiday traffic hungover with a cold. Hopefully next year will be better. I have a feeling I am going to be hosting a party next year. Scott's dead set on moving in together after spring semester sooo we shall see. If so, I'm frying my turkey. My dad did that last year and it was awesome.

Advising Experience at OCC

Lol why do they have professors advising kids? Shouldn't that be another job in its self? It is freaking ridiculous. I went to the administration building, the lady told me to look up where the psychology advisers are. So, I go to the teacher sign up on her door. Then, I came back the next day. I then explained to her that I wanted to switch my major over to business. So She said that I needed to go talk to someone in the business dept. Okay, so she then walked me over to the business part of the building. I went to Prof. Reily's office and of course there is a freaking wait. So I looked for another professor to go to. Walked all the way downstairs. And I get this guy who has never done this before, and it was his first semester here at OCC. So I explained my situation to him and after about 15 minutes he takes me upstairs to the "big guy". I was actually surprised that he was able to explain somethings to me about the associates degrees. But still, I needed more answers. And more importantly, I needed to make sure it wasn't futile to sign up for the business classes in the spring. I sit down with Mr. Polk, who turns out to be the dean of business, economics and comp sciences. I really liked this guy. He was so helpful and totally changed my mind about the associates degree. He was very logical in his approach to help me. He went over all my classes, told me all of them were great to transfer except the health course that the associates requires you to take. So He gave me the spring 09 catalog and circled a bunch of classes for me to take instead of the health class. Then he Bs'ed for a little while about Latin. lol He had me translating a bunch of college motto's. I was quite surprised as to how much Latin I actually remembered. Anyway, an hour and a half later I had my future all planned out. Pain in the ass, but hey I got it done.

Sick as a Dog

I am going to kill my boyfriend. He gave me the worst cold ever. I feel like someone took a hose full of gook and flooded my lungs. I can't breathe at all. My throat feels like it is on fire. Totally ruined my week. And what sucks even more is Friday night my aunt and uncle came up and took us to a Yes concert at the Borgata. It would have been soooo much better if I wasn't blowing my nose the whole damn time. This whole week was shot. I can't even drive. I feel dizzy and weak. UGH! I just want to feel better!!!!! Why did my boyfriend have to kiss me!! Men suck, they really do.

Media, Ugh!!!

Why is every news channel still going on about Sarah Palin?? The elections over people! Leave the poor woman alone. They lost, big deal. Someone had to lose. They keep asking her too "are you running for president in 2012?" People seriously, she just got he ass beat to a pulp, you really think shes sure about that one? God bless her if she decides that she is. But, I doubt it will happen. Besides, the end of the world is coming in 2012. This country just voted in the Jewish prophecy of Mahad. We are so done lol, right at his 2nd turn all these ancient texts predict doom. And Mahad really pin points Obama as a sign. Funny, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens, the beacon for freedom has been going down the pooper since the 80's. That's when this country really became greedy and corrupt. Interesting, the same exact thing happened to Rome... hmmmm. Hopefully, it wont but, I don't know. Sorry if my cynicism is upsetting, I'm in one of those depressed angry moods. Fricken Boyfriend..

I hate men

Why are men so damn stupid. My boyfriend tells me monday night that he was going to come down tonight. So today I kept asking him "are you coming down?" he kept giving me one of those "I don't know yet" lines. Boy I hate that. Then I asked him "ok well you want my mom to save you some meat loaf?" He says "Yeah". Ok, so he wants meat loaf but he's not coming. Word of advice to all the men out there don't tell people to cook for you if your going to be a no show. I'm so pissed right now. He does this all the time. Why can't guys just make up there minds. I understand he has to work on this stupid house he bought, but still, let me know for Christ sakes! You working or not? He works all day with the guy that is a partner on the house with him, you have all day to see if you guys are working or not. So stupid. I think he deliberately does this to keep me home. He knows theres a sailing party tonight. I've been asking him since 11 am when I got out of class if he was coming or not. And he couldn't give me an answer till 6:45 when he was outside the freaking house. UGH! I think just for spite im going to go to this party, take a picture of it, send it to him and turn my damn phone off.

Long distance roundabout

Long distance relationships suck. They really suck when you truly love the person. It's really sad. I go through the absence makes the heart grow fonder stage even if I saw him yesterday. Why can't love be convenient? If I want to see Scott, I've got to drive 85 miles. It really blows. My poor car. Thank God its German, If it were any other car with 167,652 miles on it I probably would have poured 5k into it by now. Which I don't have so, I'd then be relying on him to drive to me. I wonder what would happen if cars still didn't exist today. Would I still have met Scott? I believe fate brought us together, but, would the same fate have existed if technology wasn't around? Hmmm, I wonder...
