Interesting.

So apparently my car is trying to kill me. By cutting out the power steering while I'm trying to drive.

I was coming home from school today and every time I pressed the gas pedal after coming to a stop, it would make the most horrible squealing sound. At least the power steering didn't go out until I got to the street where I live. Apparently some belt has come loose and needs to be replaced. I know next to nothing about cars yup, that looks like a gear. They're about as foreign as you can get for me.

My mom asked me, "So what would you have done if this happened in Sacramento on your rotations?" To which I calmly replied, "Probably have a panic attack and hyperventilate." True facts - mechanical things scare me.

So tomorrow I'll drop Mom off at work and take her car to school while waiting for my mechanically-inclined friend to get back to me about repairs. This will probably be the state of affairs for the rest of the week.

I also got outbid on a Taeyang auction on eBay, so therefore had to assuage today's grief by buying Shade and Clarity from Pullip Style. Also, Jade has been shipped so the trio should be together soon. :) I'll post profiles I wrote up when they arrive!

Urgh!!! Not good o____o A while ago my car kept giving me this feeling my brakes were going to fail. But I didn't have the money to get em fixed... I guess I should've been more careful driving but I kinda liked to speed. Anyway, one near-death exp later, and I'll never be that dumb again.

Good thing you're not like me!!!

I too am a speeder. XD
But today it was more like "OMG must get home can't be stranded in the country!" -_-

Point made! X3 Ugh... I was gonna say, better that than locking your keys in your car but I guess being stranded at a petrol station really isn't that bad in comparison XD!

Ugh, I hate when cars act up! My parents keep asking me "What would you do if xyz happened your car?" too. It's really annoying. Sure we'd have panic attacks if happened, but there's no reason to worry about it until it does!

That's right! I'll deal with future panic attacks when they come. :D
