uberreinigerw00t! The new car is mine. I'm pickin' it up tomorrow. Naturally, I was high as a kite on adrenalin while we were at the dealership (which was the whole morning,) then I had to get up and go to A&A's for our Exalted game after 3 1/2 hours of sleep, so I'm fully expecting to start hallucinating any minute now but... Who cares!? The car is mine! Quite a menagerie at that dealership too. The sales manager was a classic fast-talker. He looked like a cross between Billy Corgan and Yul Brynner with the most painfully-looking cold sores I've ever seen at the corners of a person's mouth. If I ever have a snake that squeaks I will take it to him and he will oil it. Then there was the phone call he took in his office from a person he said was his boss's daughter and let's just say it didn't sound like a totally business relationship... but he was nothing compared to his salesman who looks like he's going through one hell of an alchoholism withdrawal - face as red as a beet, hands shaking so bad he couldn't even open a bottle of visine eye drops... it was quite sad.
And these guys were the friendliest, least intimidating, most easygoing car dealership I've dealt with yet. That should tell you something about car dealers.
On another positive note, I did what I've been wanting to do since I moved in here and put the fear of God, Satan, and all the archangels into Mexican Mama's brood. First, they woke me up talking back and forth with their little friends outside my window. Then, when of them somehow manages to kick her shoe off and nearly shatter the living room window.
Ladies and gentlemen, I shrieked like Dani Filth straightjacketed to a chair and forced to watch Billy Graham video tapes. Those delightful little moppets from next door were still bowing, scraping, and apologizing profusely when I went out the door and left for my game four hours later. It was like working at the arcade again, only this time the teenagers actually mind me. Cool!
I don't feel like discussing the latest round of problems we had today with Southwestern Bell. I can sum it up by saying we still don't have a phone and my mom is turning into quite the powder keg as she is wont to do when things do not go easily when they should. It's good I'll have a new car. 'Cause at this rate I am going to be driving down the street to Quik Trip a whole lot whenever I need to make a phone call.
