my blue car currently looks grey-ish white. god, i love the winter
fear not! i have returned!
and no, i wasn't stuck in this, luckily. good god, isn't that horrific?
i was, however stuck in my own personal version of hell. last night, later than i anticipated (shocker), i left dave's house. the ohio turnpike was lovely and 90% clear. all was smooth sailing until i hit the PA turnpike. it was as if a blizzard had been waiting JUST for me.
so i decide to get off of the PA turnpike (at the FIRST exit, mind you. i didn't even get to pittsburgh!), turn around and go back to dave's. of course, being that this is ME we're talking about. trying to get back on the turnpike was a pointless task.
i ended up on some (not so) fun little back roads in Shitkickinsburg, PA. with...no windshield wiper fluid. it's snowing, blowing, i can barely see out of my window, and i have NO idea where the fuck i am. so what do i do?
cry.
call dave.
cry some more.
that boy deserves a medal. or a monument. or both. he actually guided me, via cell phone, out of the hell that was route 60 and 68. he has the patience of...well i don't know WHAT of, but he's got a LOT of it. i don't know what the hell i'd do without him.
along my painful journey, i DID stop at a BP gas station in East Bumblefuck, PA, to ask for 1) windshield fluid and 2) to ask the way to I-76.
to question #1, the clerk (who couldn't have been more than 20?) answered: well, if i have any, it would be outside by the gas pumps, complete with a glazed over, apathetic look in her eyes.
oh-kayyyyy. FABULOUS customer service, sweetie. now you go ahead to the back room and finish your cigarette.
to question #2, she responded: 76? where's that take ya to?
me: um. it's the pennsylvania turnpike...
clerk: oh, i have no idea where that is.
don't you mean you have no idea WHAT that is??? clearly, this girl has not been out of the 4 mile radius that is East Bumblefuck. i am swollen, red eyed, dishevelled and clearly NOT of sound mind OR body, and NO ONE can help me.
i spent a good 2 hours in the sticks before finally finding my way back to the home of the boy. i don't think i was ever so relieved to arrive somewhere in my life. so, i collapsed shortly thereafter and slept. ok, so i didn't sleep RIGHT away...*snicker*
i got on the road at 1130 this morning, and headed back home. which is where i am now.
i got an extra night with the boyfriend, and an extra day off of work. BONUS PRIZE!!! I WIN!!!
but of course, now i lose because:
i'm not there anymore
he's not here
and i've got a fucking migraine like you wouldn't believe.
