caithreamTo the anonymous who gave me the squirrel love LJ gift: Aww, thank you! :DD But, hey, let me tell you how much I am going to intentionally run over every squirrel ever from now on:
Friday I was leaving work, started up my car and there was a really intense gasoline smell. I went, huh, and drove to the post office and the bank. I came home and told my dad (at which point I was losing 8 million brain cells a second from the gasoline smell), and he opened the hood, poked around, and went, uhh, it looks like something's been chewing on your fuel line. He started up my car and there was a misting fountain of gas shooting out of the fuel line. We don't have chipmunks down here, and the only thing small enough to get into my engine and leave teeth marks like that are squirrels. The fuckers chewed threw the outer casing of my FUEL LINE. Basically, if I had been out driving longer or if the engine got hot, it would've started a fire.
We had to call AAA to tow the car to our mechanic in fear of even starting it one more time. It was an easy fix and cost me about $100, so no, not as bad as having my CAR CATCH ON FIRE, but still. Plus I lost ALL MY GAS - I had a little under a half a tank Friday morning - and that's just seriously uncool. SO WATCH OUT, YOU LITTLE ASSHOLES. I may be having squirrel barbecue soon, OKAY??
In much, much happier news, AAAAHH THE NEW GOLDFRAPP ALBUM FINALLY LEAKED!! And because I love you guys, I share it with you:
Goldfrapp - Head First
It is basically incredibly delightful glittery, kind of 80's influenced synthpop, and it is still not as upbeat and dance-y as their previous albums, but really really good. AAAAH. ♥
Aaaaand, if anyone would happen to have any of this randomness, I'd love you lots:
- Britney Spears - 3
- Black Sabbath - Iron Man
- Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be
UM, OKAY, GOT TO GO, MISHA AND JIM ARE TWITTERING TO EACH OTHER AND I HAVE FLAILY HANDS.

Date: 2010-03-15 02:30 am (UTC)Give me a minute and I'll get you Iron Man.And now you may have it :)I didn't know squirrels chewed like that. I've never heard of something happening like that! Rats, sure, but fluffy tailed little acorn chompers? Definitely not lol. I'm glad you noticed though. Car going BOOM would not have a been a good time.

Date: 2010-03-15 02:47 am (UTC)I think they usually go for the electrical wiring 'cause that's maybe more accessible? I've heard of that happening. But REALLY? THE FUEL LINE?? You'd think they'd be chewing on it and going, ughghgasdksblaaaah WHAT IS THAT FLAVOR DO NOT WANT. But no. LOL AS A SIDE NOTE: are the squirrels at USF still REALLY OVERLY FRIENDLY? A couple of my friends were chased by squirrels there, ahaha.

I was walking back from class one day between SOC and MC and those ducks that live in that pond followed me halfway home because I was eating a sub. I hate birds lol.
