i called b of a back, to schedule and appt. for me and my stepdad to come in and talk to them. and before i even had a chance to do that they told me i could have my car back. they’d reinstate the loan. sooooo…. apparently, the trick is to call back, and not ask to have it back. i’m going to have to fork over a couple of thousand dollars. but… let’s look at the alternative.
the alternative is the bus, people. i’m not overly fond of the bus.
it’s too late to do anything about it today. evildeb is going to take me to all the banks i need to hit tomorrow morning. and then i’ll take the stupid bus into n. seattle on monday morning and pick it up. i think i am still going to borrow the truck for the weekend, tho.
note to fee: i don’t know where ginormous comes from, but you are correct when you say i didn’t get it from kevin and bean. i’ve never even heard kevin and bean.

How can you be as fast as lightening and as slow as molasses at the same time?
yaaaaaay!! 20,036 words!! i broke 20k!
i realize my last excited word count update was less than 2 thousand ago. but 20k is a pretty big landmark. don’t you think? or would it be wordmark?
anyway, my stepfather is not mad at me. in fact, he’s been really really sweet. he told me to call bank of america, and see if we can’t make an appt. to come in and see them, together, next week. he’s cosigned on my loan. i told him about the garnishment back in sept, and how screwed up i was financially. and he admonished me for not telling him sooner… that that’s what family was for. [by the way, i wouldn’t use the word admonished, normally, but now that i am writing a novel, i feel i could be more descriptive.] he just called back a few minutes ago and said that he needed to use his truck tomorrow morning, but that i could use it after that. his truck is a big fat red ford lightening. it’s sweet. he’s got another car he drives now. a new something or another. volvo? something nice. saab? i don’t know. anyway, he kept the truck. for truck needs. and he said i could use it. i dont’ know for how long, but we’ll see what happens.
it’s not a baby blue buick, but it is ginormous.
possible revision on the curling up in a small ball reaction…
they won’t give my car back unless i give them 18 thousand dollars.
how many people here think i have 18 thousand dollars?
