toxic insult
well well well what have we here? a lazy lazy girl who never does what she is supposed to. blah bl bl blah. heave.
yeah okay so i don't have much to say that's interesting. i spent the day at school of course. surprise! and then i sat in the library printing things out and sending mike about one million emails. i probably should have been reading or studying or some shit like that.
oh, cute story.
mike's mom got a new car. as a nice mom, she decided to give mike her "old" car. (it's not actually old, fyi). so mike needed to get rid of his old car (which is actually old). he was trying to call some autowreckers to come and get it and they kept not coming. so i suggested he give it away on freecycle. so mike posts up on freecycle, free 1987 toyota corolla, and wouldn't you know, he gets about 150 e-mails from people who need new cars. they are all single mothers with children with heart conditions or old people who need to get to doctor's appointments and the such. so he picks this one lady who works in our neighborhood and wants to give the car to her son so he can get to work without having to walk around in their bad neighborhood at night. so he gives the car to this lady, who's pretty happy about it. it was kind of sad to see that car go because i remember all these times with mike visiting me and i would get so happy when i saw that little car pull in the parking lot at graham place. and other assorted memories.
but anyways today mike gets an email from the lady's friend saying that the car couldn't have come at a better time because they were waiting forever last night for the son to come home from work to surprise him with the car. and he finally comes home, bleeding from the eye, and saying "get me to the hospital" because he had been attacked on his way home from work. anyway that's really sad but the kid is okay and it's going to be awesome that he has this car to drive so he doesn't have to get attacked anymore. mike was worried that maybe he didn't pick the right people because there were so many people just begging for this car. so if you ever get a new car and have an old one and nothing to do with it, you should freecycle it. you would be surprised how happy you can make people. mike is the real oprah. hmph.
