You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Of course, I plan to NOT be in rehab by tonight.

You're saying no, no, no?

Ha! I think saying no, no, no is part of the actual rehab. At least, the sex rehab.

Don't tell Amy Winehouse.

The Live Avatar Role Playing link on Skippy's list is hilarious. It's obviously parody though. It's produced way too well not to be.

Ugh. I just can't concentrate today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

However, I also have the "ad hoc Cooking at Home" book and that seems a little more up my alley, cooking-wise.

Ooh, I a copy just came to me today. Someone got it for me for my birthday. Exciting!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Can I cry now? A light showed up on my dashboard on Wednesday morning, so I took the car into the shop this morning. Just got the call.

Warning light was due to a oxygen sensor in the emissions system going out. Oil has to be changed. Brake light is out. Transmission fluid is overdue for a draining and refill. Cabin air filter is overdue for replacement. And the front brake pads are 80% worn. Getting all of that fixed is costing me $1200, and that doesn't include the new tires I'm going to need sooner rather than later. Civic is 4 1/2 years old, and this is the first thing I've had to do to it other than oil change and the time I had to replace a tire. At least I have the money in savings, for once, but it's going to deplete my account severely.

How many miles does your Civic have?

Just over 30,000, I think. I only put 10 miles on it during my commute, and I haven't taken too many long drives in it.

Check your maintenance schedule for the transmission fluid. I call bullshit for having to change out your transmission fluid yet on a Civic.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

$1200 for that seems steep, too, but I'm no expert. A filter, oil/fluid change and new brake pads shouldn't cost that.
