So I'm not going to go into too much Details with this on specific things. Simply because I tended to keep my nose out of those specific things for this one. This is my disclaimer, there may be reference to violence here but I will keep this as clean as possible.

So on Friday I decided to go hang out with Courtney, maybe do a little shopping. So we headed to Ross. Was a productive morning. Got me a few outfits. Got her this holographic Beetles picture. We had a limit on our money so at about 12:30 we headed to a sushi place near where I used to work since we were nearby. After lunch at about 1:15 we got back in her car and started to pull out when her car started to overheat. So we pulled over into Home Depot, across the parking lot. (after much pushing in neutral) And we ran inside grabbed a rag, and a case of water. Some of my older Coworkers were surprised to see me and wanted to make small talk but we were hurrying. After a few times of running in and out of the store we decided to see how close to her apartment we could get. We started driving for 5 minutes when the car over heated again. after we gave it 2 bottles of water. So we called up a tow truck after pulling over and got the car into the shop about 4 pm. ending up back at her place at 5 pm.

at about 5:45 Courtney asked if I wanted to meet her cousin James and his boyfriend Eric. I said sure, and so we started to clean ourselves up a little bit. (girls always gotta look our best) So about 9 pm James and Eric pull in and everyone decides to get drunk, besides me of course. So we head to the liqueur store and get the drinks we wanted. Then headed back to Courtney's place. Now here and there I've been noticing Eric and James having little fights here and there. but Courtney said she could handle it so I left it alone. at about 1 am Courtney gets a call from a classmate of ours Matthew. And Matthew wants to hang out so Courtney invites him over. Since I'm the only one who's not drinking alcohol it's decided I'll drive. so we run out, grab him and then come back. all in all takes about half an hour. so We are back at 1:30 am.

We head in and hang out for a while, and eventually, a fight breaks out for....no reason I can discern and James and Eric leave soon after at about 2:30. (I kept track of the time alot. Force of habit) And 10 minutes later we get a call from James that Eric kicked him out of the car. So me Courtney and Matthew hop in my car drive 10 minutes to find him. then 10 minutes back.

So now it's 3 am. It's been a hectic day and Courtney tells Matthew and I to head on home, she's gotta be there for her cousin. I agree and take Matthew back to PSU. Only to find out when we get there Courtney left her phone in my car by accident. So I turn around and head back to Courtney's apartment and arrive at 3:30 and hand her, her phone. Now I have been up for 22 hours now. No sleep. and I don't trust my self to drive anymore. I'm exhausted and I just want to curl up. So I apologize to Courtney and she offers her couch for me to sleep on for being such a good friend. I thank her and curl up.
Next time my eyes are open it's 4:30. I was woken up by Matthew who wants to head home now. I'm the only sober person to drive as well. So Begrudgingly I get back up let Courtney know I'm headed home. Matthew starts another fight with James. At this point I'm ready to kill Matthew who goes and hides in my car. So I apologize to Courtney and james and hop in and start to head home. Still fighting sleep by the way. So I pull into my Dorm at PSU and tell him he can walk the rest of the way. Lock my door when he gets out and head up stairs to crash on my bed.

With what Matthew purposely did pissed me off so much I think it will be quite a while before I am near him and alcohol again.

Number one reason for

Number one reason for overheating, if you're not losing lots of water through a hole, is that the thermostatic relief valve (otherwise known as a 'thermostat'), is stuck.

$5-$10 part, and can be changed out by anyone with a wrench in about 15 minutes - on _almost_ all cars. (My wife's car, they attached it at the back of the engine, and the nuts were rusted.)

It's at the top of the engine, where the hose connects from the radiator.


I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.

Why would anyone

deliberately set out to get drunk?

I'm sure I came to the wrong planet looking for intelligent life forms. Haven't found any yet.

Thanks for the information

Thanks for the information I'll be sure to pass that along to her.

As for the whole deliberately getting drunk thing. Seems to be a past time for most people these days. Myself I don't see the joy in it. but at the same time I don't care to. If I have to be the responsible one then I can be and am happy to do so for my friends.

Never be afraid to push yourself to new limits. While you might not see the path, you will be amazed at what you can achieve.
