They Hate Me, They Really Do! :(

I'm pretty sure the powers at be have it in for me, seems like a lot of random things have been goin wrong the last couple days...

Its Friday night, and that means I'm basically alone in the dorms while everyone out goes get drunk and throws themselves around DP and eventually stumble back to see if they can "score an easy lay". Meanwhile, back in the non-retarded world...

So I'm goin over to a new friend's place last night to take her out to Freebird's and help her with a CS assignment back at her place, and I'm about halfway there (its literally only a mile away) and I spot a police cruiser pull out and start tailing me... I have to be literally perfect for the next eight or so months because I got two speeding tickets within like a week of each other at the end of the school year last year, and if you get to four you get your license suspended in California... So anyway I'm driving totally perfect, stopping a solid three seconds at the stop sign, even slowing down to the recommended fifteen mile an hour limit over the bumps on Stadium road, when of course on comes the blinky lights and spotlight right in my face and I get pulled over. Kill the engine, turn off the lights, get ready to be as cordial as possible, as my blood pressure triples. "Excuse me sir, but do you realize........ your license plate light is out?" WHAT IN THE says the brain, but I respond with "No, I was unaware of that." I mean hello, how would a driver notice such a thing if they're always in the car when they turn on the headlights?~?@??~!?!? So anyway, he goes "Well that's usually a $450 dollar fine, but I'll just give you a warning this time." I BEG YOUR PARDON HAVE YOU BEEN SMOKING CR.. "Ah yeah, I'll be sure to take care of that as soon as possible, thanks for the heads-up." And away I go, feeling my blood pressure at astronomical levels for the next half hour or so as I tell the story to my friend... She's pretty cool, in three of my classes, works hard, so we've been exchanging knowledge and homework a bunch, those are the most helpful types of friendships I'm sure. :P

Wow. Domino's breadsticks are much improved over the last time I tried them. Yummynummyinmytummy.

So yeah.

I wake up this morning, little later than usual since I stayed up a little later than usual, still get through the usual shower and shave on time and have a good five minutes to bike to class, head on out to the racks and easily find my bike.... in pieces. Rear wheel here, bent gears here, frame and front wheel still locked to the rack. Turns out it wasn't even my rear wheel, that had been stolen and replaced with another bent one. Didn't even have the hollow hole for the quick release, so it wasn't usable. After consulting with my bike expert triathlete friend I decided to just salvage what I could, and leave the rest for impound.

Luckily there is some good luck involved in this little tale, the bike auctoin is tomorrow at 10am so I should be able to pick one up pretty cheap, they have 450 bikes on sale I hear. I figure let everyone bid against each other early, so they all have one already, and once everyone else has left pick a decent one from whats left. :) I don't see 500 college students away at 10am on a Saturday to pick up a bike...

I'm pretty proud of myself, I've been making a much greater effort this year to meet lots of people, and gain lots of friends. Had a couple up here from the 3rd floor sharin pizza, had some good fun. Anyone who actually makes a conscious decision to be the vast minority and stay in on a Friday or Saturday night for some good conversation or a movie as opposed to getting wasted and crashing someplace gets points in my book. :) One of them reminds me a lot of a friend from home, same mannerisms and such. Course the bummer and major difference is apparently she smokes occasionally. :/ Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't be trying to save the world, save everyone from their poor decisions, but I can't help but try... We'll see how it goes this time.

Had a few interesting dreams lately, remind me to tell ya'll later. ;)
