At long, long last, I have obtained a vehicle.
Well, technically, I haven't obtained it yet. And 'I' didn't really obtain it. Actually, that whole statement was a falsehood. My parents actually signed a contract for the purchase of the vehicle.
This purchase was fairly unplanned. The plan was to get a price from Lane Toyota and squeeze the guys in Footscray. Then we got roped into getting last year's model for a better price.
No more of this 'Hey man, can you drive me down to...Wodonga? Yeah, thanks man.' I hate being a burden on people. The worst part is asking for a lift. Hopefully I can repay the kindness and putting-up-with-me-ness that my friends have shown, now that I can finally give people lifts instead. The best part is I'm off red Ps in two months.
Said vehicle is a spankingly brand new Corolla hatchback in silvery-blue. Should be awesome. Better than red or black anyway.
I'm actually really happy. I just have problems showing my happiness when other people pay for it. But my parents know I'm happy, and that's all that matters. At least, I hope they know. I should probably tell them, just in case. Now all that's left to do is re-learn how to drive. Shouldn't be too bad. I've only not driven for...10 months.
This whole happy episode was slightly soured by me being late to a scheduled 1 o' clock lunch with Linda and Imesha. I think I made it up by shouting. Not in the literal sense. You know, as in, the bill-paying sense. Never mind.
It was good. So relaxing and harmonious. And it's all happening again next Tuesday. Well, maybe with a little less car buying and more of the lunch-on-time part.
Word of the Day: Vehicle
