Fairuza has emphyzema

I was in the middle of a dream in which a man with perfect skin and softest lips kissed my eyelids and my cheeks. Just as he looked into me with fiery green eyes, we heard a screech, and he disappeared into nothing more than a grey vapor.

I gagged on his remnants, and woke to my alarm clock.

Get up, get ready, go go go!!!

Driving along, listening to Paul Harvey, I notice a strange smell in my car.
I get off rt.480 at Ridge Rd. - smoke starts rising from all sides of my car, and eventually, inside.

I gagged, and turned off the heater, hoping to stop the vents from allowing this to happen.

I contemplate this matter as I drive south toward school...do I take a risk of getting stuck at Tri-C, or do I try to make it home as my car continues to smoke?

I took a chance at getting home safely. The teachers can deal - I am good at making up work missed.

Left messages with teachers, on parents' phone - Dad knows a lot about cars, and is usually my hero in such events. I hope he is able to help me with this one. If not, hell, I don't even know what I am going to do. No fretting though, not yet. Three minute rule, you know.

I smell like my grandpa's old bike shop - smokey, like grease and soot and laboring hands on metal.

Nope, not wafting well at all.
unless you like grease monkeys.

this day is so horrible right now. I wish we could have just met up and it would all be over and done with.

Re:

agreed.

I also could've spelled "sphincter" correctly.

Oh well...stress = diminished skills, I suppose

That sucks! :( Pop to the rescue! The superman of car-fixin!

[thedarksiren.livejournal.com]

yeah, if he'd answer his phone.
*sigh*

That's what my dad thinks it is, actually.

Sucks a lot, but it could be worse, I guess.
*shrugs*

Thanks for the wisdom!~;)
You rawk!

It would suck if this could have been prevented by the oil change I was urging you to get:(

[thedarksiren.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the concern, guppy!~;)

actually though, it seems more like the heater core than anything to do with the oil. I am about 1000 miles over the usual amount for an oil change, and I HAVE oil - unlike many girls, I do refill mine as needed.
I am smawt like dat yo.

See you Saturday?

Re:

1000 miles over shouldn't hurt you. It's when you start going 2-3x the recommended interval that it can become a problem. Even then the manufacturer's recommendations are overly conservative (since oil is cheap and new engines are not, this makes sense). If you do a lot of highway driving, you can easily go a lot longer on the same oil -- especially if you use synthetic.
