I got a flat tire.

Yes, on my way home from work I got a flat tire.
The best part is i had a premonition it was going to happen.
You see for the past two weeks my car has been shaking uncontrollably.
at first i was like hmm this is new i don't remember this ever happening. and it wasn't so bad it only would shake when i was going about 60 mph.. or higher.
Then this week it got so bad that it started to shake when i was driving like 25 mph. yeah. that's when you know something is going to happen
so i even told my dad on wednesday. I was like dad my car keeps shaking and i don't know why.
and he gave me this weird look, like why the freak would your car be shaking.
yeah.
So today here i am having a kind of not-so-good day already.
you know my favorite time of the month happens to have come...(insert sarcasm here)
and it's really not nice out anymore :(
yeah so i'm just driving along rocking out to Demi, who happens to be making me feel a bit better, then Bang.and my car goes all crazy
and i like screamed.
yeah
so i pull over to the side of the road. and i called my dad
who did not answer his phone.
so like the girl i am, i start to panic,
i call my mom then, and she starts asking me all these questions and telling me what to do
so i just start to cry.
yes. i started to cry, again like a little girl.
Then next thing i know some guy pulls over and he gets out of his car and comes over and he's like do you have a spare tire. so i show him it.
meanwhile i am on the phone with my mom. because now she is panicking because some guy is changing my tire.
so then he asks if i have a jack in my car. i waas like umm i don't think so. then we start to look, and i don't so he goes to his car and starts getting thigns out of the trunk. now if he wasn't so friendly i would totally have freaked out and jumped in my car and locked the doors and never get out again. but he was really nice and normally i am really good at judging when people are creepers or not. so instead i stayed calm and relaxed and my mom continued to panic.
She started asking me all these question about him
How tall is he? (he was a bit taller than me maybe 5'7 or 5'8)
What kind of car is he driving? (it was a dodge)
What color is his car? (tan)
What's his license plate number? (i couldn't see it from where i was standing)
Finally i was like mom he has gray/white hair and glasses okay
and she was like i'm just being careful, i was like yes mom i know.
so then she was like do you have your blinkers on (aka fourways) i was like yes mom i turned them on the minute i drove to the side of the road.
Then she was like stand on the side of the road. i was like mom i already am, what do you expect me to do stand in the middle of the road, I'm 19 for goodness sake.
My mom was like i know i know, i'm just being safe your my daughter.etc.etc.
i was like okay mom i know.
meanwhile the dude had been taking my tire off, and putting the new one on.
So then he finished and i was like THANK YOU SO MUCH!
and he puts all his stuff in his trunk and waves and drives away
I was like wow that guy serioulsy just got HERO STATUS for life. at least in my opinion.
yup. so then i drove home.
oh and the best part of my flat tire is that i was less than a mile away from home.
yeah.
So for Christmas i am asking for a jack to use when changing tires.
and i am going to beg my dad to teach me how to change a tire. because i have been waiting to learn since the day i got my permit.
so that is my story of today when i got a flat tire.

maybe tomorrow i will be able to read this and laugh at how lame i am.

And you know, when we went to the library, I kinda thought something was up with your car, not gonna lie, but I didn't say anything. lol
