I need a boyfriend, just to do manly things.

Today is a good, lazy Sunday. I got up, watched Best Week Ever and The Soup while enjoying my morning coffee, and decided to run some errands. I went down to my car, and got in. Put the key in the ignition... turned the key... SCARY LOUD CLICKING NOISES. Like, whoa. I'd been having this starting issue with my car lately (read: the past two months, but I was ignoring it and hoping it'd go away) and some phantom electrical stuff. Like, my car seemed to think I was stealing it. Anyways, I try to turn the key a few times, just more scary clicking. I called Leigh to see if she'd take me somewhere to get a new battery... then decided to call my Daddy and see if that was really the problem. Like he can do anything, he's halfway across the state, but whatever. He goes into detail, telling me how to get the battery out, asking if I had the receipt for the old one (HAHAHAHAHA no), who changed the old one (the ex, who had all kinds of tools), and did I know how much it was gonna cost. I then decided to find someone with jumper cables to see if they could start it, and I'd just take it someplace to get it changed.

I start down the list in my cell phone, texting all the boys in Augusta who could maybe come help me. Hot Cop - no jumper cables. New Cop - at work. Harrod - lent his car to his roommate, and so it goes. Leigh and Brittany don't have them either, which would be super convenient, since they're a mile from my house. Leigh and I both then decided that Shannon or Jill would have them, since that just seems like something they'd do. I call Shannon, and she 1.) is near my apartment and 2.) has jumper cables! She and Jill come over, jump my car, and off we go to get a new battery. Yay! See, I don't need a man, I just need my lesbian friends to rescue me!

So I get a new (very expensive) battery, and all is good. Oh and that starting issue? Gone. The phantom electrical problems my car has (speaker issue, sometimes spitting out the ipod player, cd issues)? Gone. Now if fixing that obnoxious knock in the driver's side suspension could be this easy! I literally clapped and laughed each time I started the car today while running errands, because it turned over so easily!
