"I'm just a helpless ickle girl mister mechanic, won't you please help me fix my car?"

I hate doing that. I probably know more about cars than most of the men I know but as soon as I go to a garage I get treated like an idiot. Sometimes it works out for the best, not to stereotype every mechanic out there, but wearing a low cut top and tight jeans can do wonders for the final bill.

Shame it feels so dirty.

Car's still not fixed, but at least I have it confirmed that the exhaust won't fall off unexpectedly in the middle of the M8. Now I just have to save up some money (or better still get back the money my sister owes me) to pay for a new exhaust, new brakes and new tyres. So Christmas is definitely out this year...

Randomly, I just looked out of my window there across to my neighbours' house (the one the alarm was going off at the other night) and I just spotted a Neighbourhood Watch sticker in their window. Huh. Didn't know we were a Neighbourhood Watch area. Ah well.

Anyways - thank you all for furthering my indesicion helping me decide on the future layout of this journal. Still don't know what I'm going to do although it'll probably be dark colours whatever the result! Just posted a few Lost ideas I was playing about with on [livejournal.com profile] ms_graphics over here. I hold my hands up and say yes, they kinda suck. Except for the last one which I kinda like. I was just really playing with ideas and colourings and abandoned them half-done. If you like the ideas behind 'em I can work on them some more and they're all yours. *g*

Now I'm tired, feels odd not to be rushing to get dressed to go out tonight. Maybe if I had a life...

Weren't you supposed to only use the power of the low cut top and tight jeans for good? Kinda like Spiderman? Why are you using your powers for evil?

Ah hell, I'm sure the poor, abused mechanic didn't complain. :)

And pwetty pwease, don't remove Eliza Dushku from your LJ. If you do I won't be able to to stare at the pretty. :(

And really, it's so easy. Just do a Eliza / Nick Brandon / BTVS ensemble / Firefly ensemble motif. In dark colors.
See how easy it is? :)

Right there with you. Been playing "This time last week..." all day. Just glad I wasn't this tired last Friday.

Hey, anything that gets your car fixed cheap is a GOOD thing!

I don't think they suck. They're pretty. :)

Have you managed to see the first ep of Lost's second season yet?

A life... nah... you don't want one of those... leave's absolutely no time for the fun internet stuff... *G*

I somehow don't think I'll ever have to use the low-cut top trick for car repairs though. We're good friends with our mechanic so getting overcharged isn't a problem.
