Dude!! It's been forever. I think I need a new layout to entice me to update or something. I also have been writing in this cute little journal I got for a couple bucks. I put mostly boring stuff in it that I wouldn't want to update with here...but then there are no comments. :( So it's kind of lame.

So...my mom visited for a week plus some. It was a lot of fun, didn't seem like very long.

Then we kicked off March with horrible car troubles of death. One of our cars was getting new roters/brakes, up on blocks in our driveway (cheap travelling mechanics yay)...but that wasn't supposed to be a problem because we had two other cars. So Jason was driving Kim around for a pizza delivery and got stuck in a ditch. He calls me to pick him up. I leave in Carl, who has had this weird thing going on with his battery, and we had it rigged up to work fine for months, but I guess since it wasn't 'correct' it finally killed the alternator. On the way to pick Jason up. On the highway!!! I was like 'OMG OMG OMG!!! NO HEADLIGHTS NO BLINKERS AHHH!!' Both our cell phones were dead, and my AAA card was at home anyway. So I had to walk the stupid creepy long road in the pitch black (we used to have tons of flashlights in the cars, but they've been going dead because Jason uses them so much and he had the last one in his car) because there are no street lights and my cell phone wasn't even working and I was like DDDD: GIRLS GET ABDUCTED HERE AND ARE NEVER SEEN AGAIN. Or are seen with their heads torn off and bellies ripped out. And I wish I was kidding...and that they had solved that particular problem. Anyway, Carl was able to be fixed right up, but in the process of getting pulled out of the ditch, Kim's CV joint snapped so she was undrivable. So he left her there for a day, no note. And then the CHP towed it. And we were gonna be like, well fuck that they can keep her, but then they said it was $120 a day until the car went to collections, at which point they would send the bill to...Jason's dad. SKDfsldflsd. WTF???? So anyway, he paid it and then had her taken away by a pick & pull because it would've been $340 to get her drivable again. So. Sigh. I miss her. And we have both cars working fine again. It was just a big old hassle for about five or six days.

Then!!! Jeremie came to visit me from Berkeley! I hadn't seen him since graduation. It was pretty cool, he'd never been to Santa Cruz before so I showed him around a little. Then we met up with Cailin, who lives in Santa Cruz yet whom I had not seen since graduation either. I took them to my place of work and Jeremie did THIS:
Jeremie: Are you actually Steve Miller? You really exist?
Steve Miller: Yes, I exist.
Jeremie: Wow! We came all the way from Quincy just to see you!!
Steve Miller: [UTTER CONFUSION...his face was seriously like WTFHUH?!]
Jeremie: We just had to make sure she wasn't lying!!
OMG!!! The hilarity of it just about balanced out the embarrassment factor. Hopefully he thinks something only slightly embarrassing, like that I have a crush on him or am just kinda silly, and not something like...I'm crazy.

I am kind of crazy about Steve Miller. But I mean ... !!! Have you ever heard his music?!?!?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥ (Can you believe that picture doesn't exist online and I had to take it myself?! HELLO, obviously one of the BEST pictures of Steve of all time, and yet they put this shit on the album cover: UGH GROSS EWWWW must post another good one to get rid of that horror of the eyeball: I was going to go with the one in my icon because I agree that it is an awesome picture, especially when the hippie bracelet is included, but this will do, although personally I would have chosen that one picture from the back of Number 5 where the kid is reaching for his crotch and Steve is like HEY WOAH :O\:D TOO CUTE)
