SO.. heres the tale of my LOVELY adventure from Helena last week.. .
filled up in gas in Helena.... lasted me all the way to a lovely little town called Pocatello, Idaho... tried to get money for gas out of my bank account from an atm machine there... wouldnt let me take any money out because I only had 15 dollars in my bank account, and the least that atm machine gave out was 20 dollars.. dug around for some cash.. only found ten dollars.. so I put ten dollars of gas into my car.. figured Id write a check at the next town I went to... next town I ran out of gas in was Twin Falls, Idaho.. didnt accept out of state checks, but they did accept my atm card at the pumps.. so I put fifteen dollars in.. THAT got me to Jackpot, Nevada where I assumed I could write a "bad" check (I got payed the next day so It wouldnt have mattered) but they didnt accept personal checks... by this point.. I started freaking out... I was like three hundred miles from home.. and I had NO money whatsoever... I sat in that dumb ass town for half an hour before I decided I had enough gas to make it to the next town: Wells, Nevada. I decided to go there and see if they accepted personal checks. NOWHERE in that town accepted personal checks. I was fucking STRANDED. It was like 1:00 in the morning.. and I was stranded in that creepy ass town by myself, and did I forget to mention that my phone was shut off, and dead.. AND the battery was dead on it.. AND I had no way of getting a hold of anyone to help me? Finally, at two in the morning.. a police officer helped me out.. my phone got charged, and LUCKILY.. my dads girlfriend was with him and she has a cell phone, and I happened to have her cell phone number in my phone.. the cop let me use his phone, and my dad just gave the asshole clerk at the flying jay gas station in wells his credit card number.. and I was on my way, once again, to the good old town of tonopah nevada... but thats not the end. .oh no fucking way.. to add to my stresses of leaving my friends, my home, getting stranded in a middle of nowhere town, my phone being shut off, and being like $2000 in debt.. .my car FUCKING BREAKS DOWN conveniently at my work right after I picked up my paycheck.
its still broken too.. apparently.. the engine mounts werent holding the engine in properly.. the engine was just kind of "flopping in the wind" as my dad told me.. and the starter died on it.. fortunately for me though... those repairs wont be that expensive because I have a mechanic for a dad, and the parts are fairly cheap.. so I guess Im not that unfortunate.. haha.. oh yeah.. and I was going to go to school out here.. but I missed the registration deadline due to that trip to montana.. I shouldnt have gone.. but seeing everyone (well almost everyone) was worth it... and I am working my ass off down here so that I can go back for a little while... until I decide what I want to do about my education.. I hate it out here.. I really do.. I thought it was alright at first, but now I HATE it.. its my fault though.. so Im going to have to live with it.. Ill just accept the fact that all the problems I am facing right now are MY FAULT, and I am going to have to solve all of them on my own, and NOT WHINE about it...
