Gangsta's Paradise
Okay...................sooooo today was the official "court day".....today was the day i had to go to the san diego county court and prove that i had both A. gotten my CA license ( not that this was a fiasco in itself..... ) and B. moved my license plate from the back to the front........or else pay $401...obvi i was going to court....soo i show up all refreshed at 9"am and go through the metal detectors....wait in line...with what i'll call Gangsta's Paradise...i now know where all the thugs of SD hang out...and I'm not talking about your regular thugs either.....i mean i was thinking 'how in the world did they even get through the metal detectors with all that gold??' .............twenty minutes later the attendant tells me that I have to have the sheriff walk me to my car to prove that I moved one of the plates to the front ( not that I two months ago put on both plates on the back and didnt even know it...which is what got me in this predictment in the first place.............) ugh WTF slight probs people...i thought we were going to do the 'honor system' on this one or something....bc i obvi hadn't done it quite yet, as i don't even own a screwdriver....so i tell her "well my boyfriend has my car and dropped me off, can i get an extension?" ( fab lie on my part ) i am given a month extension but at this point i was annoyed at having driven all the way on the 163/274 - bc anyone who knows me, knows i only drive on the 5 and 8 :) - so i go to the nearby gas station, where i borrow their screwdriver...well wtf one of the screws snaps in half! so now i can't even put on the front plate....as the gas station doesn't sell screws....i am guessing the screw broke since it was rusted and well had been on my car since boston....sooooooooooooooo i'm annoyed and what do i do? i drive to the gym to 'forget about it'............so i run my little heart out..sham that i am NOT running in the race i paid to run in in two weeks....and then i am like - "ugh i will just do it today" so afterwards i go to CVS to buy a screwdriver... i guess it's good to actually own one....and buy something called "license plate screws" - like they actually sell something called that? so you know where this is going....i am in the parking lot at CVS sweating attempting to install the front plate....as obvi these stupid screw things AREN'T FITTING!!! you would think that someone would offer to help, but i suppose not...as everyone should know how to screw something into place....so whatever....i get the thing on after literally 25 mins, however, i assure you it isn't so stable.....LOL....it WILL fall soon.............but i'm hot and dont care at this point....i then get back on the previously mentioned highways and get to the courthouse....i go through the metal detectors yet again and i speak to the sheriff and attempt to tell him 'my situation' ( aka "oh officer i didnt know i installed two plates on the back of my car, your state is so confusing, BUT LOOK i also got my CA license....etc...i JUST moved here! ) - as i was telling him i threw in a 'you know what i mean, jelly bean?' - he then inspects my car and tells me to go to "207"......................ahhhh yes the illustrious "207" well lemme tell you, this is where every junkie, dropout, etc is waiting in line to pay their fines...i am only imagining what these people are there for.....so after 30 mins it's my turn...the blonie attendant ( there was one other one in the whole place ) was like "where is your reciept for the $15 to the sheriff?' and i said "he said i didn't have to pay" she looks at me dubiously and says "well you owe the city $10 but you might wanna check on your way that he meant that.....you don't want this $401 to come back to baunt you" ( NO crap lady, but thanks for your two cents!) sooooooooooooooooo i go up to the sheriff on my way out, and i said "um do i owe you $15?" and he responds "no sweetheart, you have a nice day"................so i respond "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh................mucho gracias!"
