So my car overheated on the highway, on the way home from class. I mean, redlining, smoke-/steam-spewing, shaking overheating.
Long story very short, I stopped at an Applebee's, called some people, realised my insurance's "emergency roadside assistance" was for shit, and then a bunch of people on the internet and in meatspace made seriously helpful offers and actions. Got picked up by Sparky and made contact with an all-night tow service via
zombiebear.
All of you people rock. Seriously. Everyone who tried to find me a ride, offered to Give me a ride, everything. You're all top-notch.
I was going to use This as a representation of my day.
I can't find the picture I want, on the internet, but it's from the end of the first arc of Transmetropolitan, after Spider's gotten the shit kicked out of him by the cops, and he says, "I'm here to Stay! Shoot me and I'll spit your goddamn bullets back in your face! I'm Spider Jerusalem, and Fuck ALL of you!"
Hey, universe? You took a lot of money, time, and mental stamina from me, these past few weeks. But you know what? I'm still here, motherfucker.
You missed me.
