car search 2005!
but...the rumors are just about true -- i'm gettin' a new ride.
clearly, i'll never feel safe in the Girliemobile again. some poor, oblivious fool will purchase it for
roughly $5000, and hopefully they will have better luck than i.
there is a mutual fund, or some such financial stash, in my name, that i will be "borrowing" from, and repaying slowly, interest-free, through my parents. a delayed-reaction loan of sorts. peep the flowchart:
me ---> parents ---> fund
what's amusing about this, is that this fund is/was supposed to go towards the hypothetical meredithelaine nuptual extravaganza. lavish reception? down payment on a starter home?
nah. let's go for a zippy small SUV!
as i mentioned in my last entry, i'm in love with the hyundai tucson. my mom has a santa fe, and my father has a subaru outback. basically, the tucson looks as if these 2 cars crossbred and had a baby. the other
vehicles i'm considering are: subaru forrester, honda CRV, toyota RAV4, saturn vue, saturn ion...and a few
others. i need to test drive all of them, of course. weigh all the options.
regardless, i'm getting the bells and whistles this time around. when i was making $8/hr at my first job out of college (whilst living at home, of course), i got a saturn coupe. power windows, locks, etc. when i bought my next car (the defective neon that i currently own), i was making more money. however, i had more financial
responsibilities -- rent, utilities, supporting my freeloading ex-boyfriend (hehe). so the neon is bare-bones. i have to roll down my own windows, unlock my doors with the key...hell, i don't even have daytime running lights! those come standard on all cars now, right?
i'll keep everyone updated on Car Search 2005!

summer internship season is upon us. one intern started about 2 weeks ago at my chiropractor's office.
for some reason, she dresses in scrubs every day. no one else does. weird.
today, i went in, and there was a new intern. a BOY intern. and he's a trip. he's got pseudo-spiky howie day-esque hair, except that it's too "styled" to be sexy. (not to boythings: sategically placed fluffy spikes are so not cool) but the best part was his outfit -- mainly, his shirt.
a purple, satin buttondown. i shit you not.
i tried to search to find a shirt online that was similar. of course, i tried looking at pictures from some
of the jersey shore club websites. sadly, to no avail. i did come across this gem, though:
the "OH FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST!" photo of the day!
stop. just make it stop. it hurts.
but now you see why 99.44% of the time, i NEVER got hit on at the bars down the shore.
