just to hit some of the highlights, here's a basic rundown of the past week

*89 honda finally died... twice in one day which is to be commended.  the honda, aka the shitbox, aka the millenium falcon (thanks to my sister... long story) has been donated in the name of good to charity... well, charity and a huge fuckin tax write off. ;0)

*seeing as i have no car and all my friends either have real jobs or they don't have a car either, i had to call a cab the other day for some bank errands.  had to wait outside my apartment's gate for the taxi because i recently canceled my gate service (another long story).  some random dude pulls up and offers me a ride.  i'm like "no, i'm waiting on my taxi" and he then asks me my name... i'm like "its deniece" in honor(?) of my friend deniece.. he then gives me his number and says to call him anytime.  i do my damndest not to roll my eyes too hard.. as he sped away, it finally hit me.  apparently, i had been solicited.  had to take 3 showers to wash off that "unclean" feeling. 

*because the first cab did not show up after i waited an hour (i shit you not), i basically got another ride from another cab company.  it was fine for the most part... but you know what they say, most car accidents occur within 2 miles of the home.  my cab driver had slammed into the back of a lexus with two thugs in it.  they discussed it heatedly for about 5minutes.  i was fine and i started to think "hey, well, i guess it wasn't that serious" ... that was, until i saw the cab driver get back in with his bumper in one hand and his grill in the other. claaaassy.

*and oh yeah, my purse broke. i hate carrying purses but its a fact of life i think at some point.... just acquire too much shit, you know?  and its not enough for a bookbag, too much for a wallet.

*so now that my car's outta order, i've had to take a "leave of absence" from my job at the theater.... to be honest, i'm not really sure if that was/is an option but i had to be like "look, i have no way to get here.  umm... my bad?"

*and also because its outta order, i'm back to the hiking to school thing. which reeally sucks b/c its gonna get cold soon.  at least i have a lot of insulation, right?  ah yuck it up you bastards ;0)

so basically, i could sooooo freak out right now.  but i guess since its over (for now) there's nothing i can really do about it--- except for laugh.  there's nothing i can do to change the past anyways.  what else can you do when shit reaches such ridiculous proportions? obviously learn mistakes and all that good moral blah blah blah... but freaking out and worrying to no end won't get you anywhere (just ask my sister).  and i'm not gonna sit here and preach "things happen for a reason"  but its true.  its also true that "shit happens."  you deal with it and you move on.  you use what you can when you can.  and that's all you can do.  because life is constant motion.  things are happening all the time, everywhere.  to dwell i think would hinder too much on the experience. it bogs you down.  you just deal with it and then you move on.... and hopefully, you'll be able to look back on it someday in a different light.

me?  i just hope i get a few laughs out of it.
