Something Has Happened!

Originally written Monday, March 12, 2007:
I’ve had a shitty day, and it’s only just after 3:00 p.m. I didn’t sleep at all last night. Planned to leave for the gym at 10:00 a.m. before my pdoc appointment at 12:40. Left at 11:00 a.m. instead, all anxious because I couldn’t find everything I needed and when I did, I kept misplacing it. Then I walk out the door, and I see that our fucking car is booted. The ironic thing is that Brian just paid all the tickets online this morning.

You've Been Booted!
Those of you familiar with Neopets will know what that means. ;) Anyway, he went to City Hall to take care of it, and when I looked out the window a few minutes ago, the car was de-booted. Except the City left their stupid stickers on the driver side window, I don’t feel like scraping them off, and I’m in no condition to drive anyway (one of the staff at the pdoc’s said he’d try to work some magic if the boot’s taken off). But I’m in no frickin’ condition to drive — I just took a Klonopin a few hours ago, and I didn’t sleep last night. Grrrrr….

  1. Not a very fashionable boot now is it? I wonder if Prada makes car boots…

    I’m glad they took that damn boot thing off your car. I wonder if you should 1st spray something on the window so their sticker will come off easier.
    Hey woman, I don’t have a clue as to what a Denver Boot is, but as long as it isn’t attached to your car, it’s cool!

  3. LMAO @ the Neopets reference!

    P.S.–Sorry that my Sharks beat your Blackhawks so bad Tuesday night. It was an accident…heh. But a damn fine game to be at!

    I could do with a boot like that now that tourist season at the bulbfieldarea where I live is starting… Could be fun ;-)

    Hi Barb! Do you play neopets as well? I used to play that before but hey you should try AdventureQuest at http://www.battleon.com and also check Dragon Fable while your there on that link. It is a free game btw but you can update it into a guardian status for one time payment only

    GDG, I’m a partial to Kenneth Cole, myself. ;)

    jane, we do have some of that Goo Gone, but Brian used Windex, which did the trick.

    A Denver Boot is that yellow metal thing they attach to the front tire on the drivers side (probably has something to do with your steering wheel), and if you have X number or X amount of unpaid parking tickets then the City boots your car. We’ve never had that happen, but the City has become more strict about unpaid tickets. Well, it’s much better than being towed!

    KG, Chase, and Ratty, I thought my fellow Neopians would get a kick out of the SHH. :d

    KG, no need to apologize. The Sharks are doing really, really well — certainly better than the Hawks IMO. I wish you could come to one of my games! You wouldn’t have to worry about some kid hitting you in the head while swinging his promo towel around because we have none to give. LOL!

    DB, could be fun? Sure, if you’re the one doing the booting! :d

    chase, thanks for the tip. I’ll have to check those out some time — right now I’m immersed in KotOR again.
