it would have kept me inside from my horrible day yesterday.
Since there are so few on the board, heres my entertaining story of what went down... *NOTE that this was written pretty poorly and when I was in a terrible mood.*
2:30am: find out girl I asked out after successfully hanging out with for ~month was told by her roommates (also what I thought were FRIENDS of mine) that I had a girlfriend. After attending the New Years party she invited me to, I asked if I could take her on an official date and she responded with, some hmmms, some ummss, and finally, "Don't you have a girlfriend?" I don't know what the screw their problem is because as far as I knew, they were a pretty cool gay couple that I always made welcome in my home. I mean, screw, I was single when I met them a year ago! Though I don't think this was the first time something like this has happened involving them. Its just more apparent and conclusive this time. In conclusion, the hitting on and interest expressed over the past month that was angled in her direction has her perceiving that I was a giant ***hole/douche bag/jerk off who cheats on his girlfriend. f*** that. I am beside myself.
1pm: Went running in the 22 degree temps. Had to run for a few feet on the sidewalk in a popular section of town and when I went to round the corner, I slipped on ice and ate it HARD in front of a number of people. Notably 3 very attractive girls. I was already cold as f***, and now I was aggravated, cold, and hurt (things always hurt more when its cold out!). I went into the bookstore that was under construction all pissed off and took 15 minutes to warm up and calm down. Result: Big, big black and blue mark on my right forearm and elbow. Ice 1. Ray 0.
3:30pm: After warming up, decided that I wanted to go to the next town over for some gasoline because its cheaper over the state line. less than 2/3 mile from my house my car runs out of gas. Whatever was left in my tank wasn't enough and the car wouldn't start. I was on a blind curve leading up to the interstate. I tried like hell to push my car in the cold but it was an uphill struggle. Roughly 25-30 cars went by before a fellow who could barely speak English stopped and helped me push the car to a safer spot. Unfortunately, that safer spot (and the entire street) was also a No Parking and a Tow Zone. I saw a maintenance crew for the business near me. Perfect! Right? Wrong. They had shovels and rock salt. No gas operated machinery or gasoline receptacles. Astounded, aggravated, and kinda laughing at my luck at this point, I scribbled a note and left it on the dash asking police kindly to not be towed or ticketed with my cell number and walked to the gas station ~1/4 mile away. Gas station doesn't sell gas cans!!! WHAT THE f***?! I would have paid $15 dollars for one at this time! Walk to hard ware store next door. Closed. Call ATT for my roadside assistance and freeze my *** off in my cold car (it was 18 degrees at this point) for 45 minutes while waiting for a fuel delivery. Eventually I got over the state line and got gas.
I'd better of gotten all of my bad luck for this year out up front on the first day.
I can look back at it right now and just laugh at how ridiculous my day had been, but I was so goddamn aggravated because it just felt relentless. Happy freakin' new year!!
