I wish I wasn't such a freakin idiot about cars
by Denise Sawicki on March 26, 2008
Seems like every time I need an oil change they want to do $600 of service on my car even though it's running fine. It's getting so I absolutely dread oil changes because I feel like such an idiot not knowing what I really need done to the stupid car and I feel like an asshole if I say anything about it. I hate my stupid car. Like the last time I had a flat tire, which was 2 years ago but which still fills me with dread, they wound up requiring me to replace 3 tires and I was kinda freaking out. It's not like I can't afford it, I just hate feeling like an idiot. Then the last time I had an oil change they indicated to me that I will soon need two tires replaced. Well that makes 5 tires in 2 years, doesn't that seem a bit excessive? I could understand replacing just the one that hadn't been replaced. Now I hear I probably have bad wear patterns on a second one because it wasn't replaced at the same time as the other 3. So any time you have a flat tire you need to replace 2 tires to avoid replacing a total of 3 tires 2 years down the road? My inability to handle this basic stuff is kind of an indication of my greater inability to handle people.

Being Rich
I've decided I wouldn't really want to be wealthy. OK, in many people's estimation I am probably wealthy already, but, what I really mean is I wouldn't want to live like a wealthy person. I wouldn't want a huge house on the lake with my own boat.. Go »It's been a while...
So, it is supposed to snow 9 inches today, and I didn't want to drive in that, so I did my grocery shopping yesterday. Then today (a Saturday) I decided to walk in to work with my cell phone to do some computer setup with 2-factor authentication that I wasn't able to do earlier because I never take my cell phone to work. See, I am this weird relic of the past who still wonders why people would have to get in touch with me at all hours, so I mainly treat my cell phone like it was a home phone. Go »Narcissist
Oh lord, new worry, what if I'm a narcissist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_Personality_Disorder "NPD is considered to result from a person’s belief that he or she is flawed in a way that makes the person fundamentally unacceptable to others [8]. Go »A girl wants to meet me

As though I don't look bad enough for sharing information on my lame celebrity crushes, here's a real-life one, albeit a really old one. I'd forgotten that his full name was in the movie we watched the other day and maybe hearing his name was what got me started on this nostalgic path. He's got a common name. Go »
