Nice huh? It’s a rental.

Last weekend my car got hit by a giant, blue, kiddie-stealing van. While parked. In the Wal-Mart parking lot. If the cop who did the police report hadn’t been smokin hot the whole event would have been terrible. I kept my cool though. The guy ended up leaving but my car was still drivable and I am well insured so I was okay. 

Backstory aside, on Monday I took my car in to get fixed and to pick up my rental car. I was sitting there talking to the Enterprise guy and he says ” Yeah your car is on the way. It’s a PT Cruiser.” Wait what? I drive a modest little Chevy Cavalier. Bring me something like that you know? Like a Toyota Camry or something. Don’t bring me a car that will make me sad when my real car is fixed and I have to give back the rental. Ugh. I don’t even really know if I LIKE PT Crusiers (it kind of makes me feel stupid) but it’s still WAY nicer than my real car and it’s all clean and shiny. This is all a ploy to get me to buy a new car, I just know it.

Version 2.0

The other day I was in the car with my mother. Somehow, in the course of the conversation, it came up that I use a different voice when I am on the phone with her than I do with other people. The “Family Voice” if you will. She got a little upset and offended by this, thinking it meant I was warning my friends I was on the phone with her or that it meant I don’t tell her as much as I would someone else. 

I told her that this was not the case. She simply got an “upgraded” version of me. Me 2.0. I explained that this means she gets a softer, more polite tone and an upgraded social filter (by upgraded I mean she actually GETS as social filter. Something I don’t normally have.) She seemed satisfied by this explanation but I think now she is wondering what I am like without the upgraded social filter……She really doesn’t want to know.
