omg this weekend
So, this was a bad weekend that turned good. First off, I had a really crappy week at work, compounded by feeling hormonal. But that was going to be ok, because I was going to seventhe's place, to have a party. Long drive for me (which I was hitching a ride with ladyfriend for part of it, so it would be less long), but worth it to see people.
Yup.
But thankfully ladyfriend is a motherfucking dragon and drove out to near where the wheel fell off my car to get me to the party. My parents helped too. Was more jarring than anything (aren't wheels SUPPOSED TO STAY ON CARS?) and aside from having to wait around for two hours in a slightly skeevy area (protip: guys? if the lady in the car that has the caution lights on WAVES YOU AWAY AND GIVES YOU THE OK SIGN OR A THUMBS UP it probably means she doesn't need you to come over and mansplain to her that the lugnuts failed on her wheel. it's kind of obvious, considering the wheel is kind of not on the car).
And watched Avatar: The Last Airbender (I approve), ate a lot of cheese, and got the cops called on us because we were listening to Ceiling Cake.
So good times!

If I didn't know the exact WORD for the lugnuts I'd still be able to go 'well shit, the nuts and/or bolts of my wheel just up and died like asses'. Which is no fucking cause for scorn. Yard-apes.
I just randomly remembered a story my dad told me when teaching me to change a tire on a car. One of his co-workers had the lugnuts up and die on her rear passenger-side wheel, so she pulls over, and gets a boyscouty mansplainer shortly as she's waiting on the CAA.
"Do you need help changing a tire?" he says.
She replies, "Well, it'd be nice if it was possible to!"
"Oh, did no one teach you how?"
"...Mmmmyes, they did, but I can't change the tire."
"You mean, you have no spare? But you should ALWAYS--"
"I have a spare, dude, but I can't put it on the car."
"But you just said you know how to change a tire!"
"I do."
"Then why can't you change it?" he asks, now totally confused and a little put out at her irreverence.
"I have no nuts," says she, and grins. "They must've fallen off as I was driving."
I was of course giggling like mad for the rest of the day.
