Pathetic scene.

So, for those of you who aren't aware, I am an awesome driver and caretaker of automobiles. Did you know that you can actually use up all your AAA visits? Well, FYI, you can. I've achieved the unachievable folks. You are allotted 4 a year... and by March 3, 2008 I had used my maximum for the YEAR. This does not present a positive outlook for 08.



I haven't been feeling very "bloggy" lately. I tried eating cookies (usually a quick fix for any problem). No success. I tried doing jumping jacks. NAda. Read some inspirational quotes online. (This actually negated any positive effect the cookies may have lent me and left me quite uninspired due to level of poor judgement displayed on this website -- what does "Happiness is like peeing your pants, everyone can see it, but only you can feel the warmth" have to do with inspiration? I'm upset with myself for even repeating that uselessness...) I went to the bathroom hoping to run into the hillbilly ladies. No dice. I miss those ladies. I looked to the Hoff.



Still nothing. It seems I've used up all my Hoff inspiration tokens. Speaking of tokens... I'd like to go play ski-ball if anyone is interested? Air hockey? Virtual reality skateboarding? Dance Dance Revolution?

Please allow me to paint you a slightly more accurate and funnier picture. This friend of mine that I met oh about eight months ago, well one of the first things she told me was that she hated her car. I now completely understand why.

You can actually use up all of your AAA tokens. Really?

Nov. 18 - locked keys in car at 8pm at Marsh Supermarket. Oh forgot to mention that the car is still running. The reason is because she thought she could take the electric door lock mechanism off the key-chain, lock the doors, and leave the car running. Didn't work, though a good idea. One hour and a half spent in Marsh cafe. I buy big yellow poster-board and make photo-copies in an attempt at making light of the situation as well as making collaborative art piece.

Dec. 3 - Drove through a three-foot- deep pond in front of her apartment. Car sat over night before AAA representative by the name of Ryan could come spend an hour and a half pulling the air intake system apart and breaking the ice out of it. Still it miraculously started. Not to mention two oil changes one of which I happily did in sub-freezing weather.

Dec 21 2007: 9pm Friday night and headed out for drinks. Keys locked in car ignition. AAA called and an African American guy shows up. He happily uses the "slim-jim". One hour twenty minute wait in lobby of apartment. At this point, not so happy. You can understand why right?

Mar 2 2008: Awakes to find that the same tire that has had a slow leak for nearly two months, is completely deflated and thus making the car completely immobile. I had filled it once. AAA called. Nothing can be done because they apparently don't have air compressor's on their trucks. They put the doughnut on and wish her luck saying its the best they can do.


Mar 4 2008 5pm AAA called. Keys locked in car ignition during ice storm. AAA says that at this point they will not come out. Mum shows up after an hour and half drive and ONE sorry episode of Oprah. AAA will at this point only use Mum's AAA Gold Plus card because the current holder's card has been completely used up for the year. It's March. I'm worried about her.

I can't believe the AAA service these days. I mean can you really use up all of your AAA tokens. I guess I would say, looking at the trend, yes it's very, very possible.

So I have a bike. NO keys, NO insurance, NO AAA payment, NO gas purchases except for when given a ride somewhere, NO destruction to the environment. ITS PRICELESS!

I don’t suppose I’ll get a ride anywhere soon from her, but it’s okay, by the looks
of things there’s a good chance it’ll take just as long by car as it would by bike.

*If she ever needs help with her car I will happily do all that I can.*
