*sings*

I've been having a bad, bad day.
Come on, won't you put that pad away?
I'm asking you please no!
It isn't right, it isn't fair.
There was no parking anywhere!
I think that hydrant wasn't there...
Why can't you let it go?
I think I've paid more than my share.
I'm just a poor girl, don't you care?...

So yeah. There goes my BEAUTIFUL PRISTINE GORGEOUS SPOTLESS PURE-AS-THE-NEW-FALLEN-SNOW TRAFFIC RECORD. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH. I was babysitting the kidlets again, and because there was no room in the driveway when I arrived, I just parked on the street, which I did rather frequently when I babysat them last month. But noooo, apparently since then, the North side of the street has been declared a No Parking Zone, and I got ticketed. SO NOT COOL.

Joe (the dad) was very sympathetic about it, and he offered to pay the ticket (which was only $30), and Dad says it's not the kind of thing that goes on one's record, but still, it's annoying. I remain incensed and cross! I'm thankful that I live in a neighborhood where the police officers have nothing better to do than ticket poor innocent me, but AARG. They have shattered my perfect no-accidents, no-tickets, no-other-traffic-violations, all-in-all-perfect-driver record. And my face is sunburned and peeling from Colorado! The world gives me no love!

I will drown my sorrows by watching all the Spike bits from the various Buffy and Angel episodes I have downloaded on my computer. Mmm, pretty eyes. Gurgle.
