I am really having a shitty weekend. I'm not sure if it could get any worse right now. 
First with my car last night...read previous entry for more details.
Then today my car still won't start up.
Well Mnislahi called me so we could go out tonight and I told her I'd give my car another try to see if it'd start back up and that I'd call her back. So I walk downstairs to my car and as I get up to the car I realize I have the wrong keys...okay not so bad. But then I realize I also don't have the set of car keys that also have my house key on them. Now most of you would think that's not so bad I can just go back up stairs and open the door because in the US that is how the scenario goes.
But in the oh so lovely base housing and well pretty much any house in Italy the door automatically latches shut when you close it and you need a key to open it regardless of whether you actually locked it or not.
While I was about to walk back up I ran into my neighbor and asked him if he had a credit card or something to see if he could get it open. He tried for a few minutes and then his neighbor tried because he had just done it the other day to his own place. It still didn't work so Charlie(my neighbor) called our friend Manny. Manny and Nicole came over and tried at it as well. The door would click like it was unlocking but the door wouldn't actually open. We tried for about an hour.
And I know some of you kids are wondering...Why didn't you just get the building manager to open it? or Why didn't you just go get the other key from your hubby at work? Well the answer is the housing office here charges $30 on weekdays to get your door open, $50 on week nights after hours and on weekends $70. It's Saturday and with us trying to save money as is...the $70 was a little outrageous....honestly it's outrageous for anyone to pay.
As far as getting the key from the hubby well he works at a different base and 1) My car doesn't work 2) If it did work I still had the wrong set of keys 3) Even if I could borrow someone's car...I left my wallet inside therefor I had no sort of identification to get me onto the other base. 
So in the end my neighbor Charlie offered to go to the other base, meet the hubby there, get the key and come back. I feel so bad for him having done it but he said he didn't want to see me have to pay $70. We owe him and his wife as well as Manny and his wife dinner. I just feel like we should do it for their help. In all the whole ordeal was 2 hours.
So now I'm back in the house. Not happy at all. This hasn't been a good weekend. I'm still not sure if the car will start up and at this point I don't even care. Although I REALLY REALLY wanted to go out tonight...especially after how this weekend has been going. I could use a few drinks.
But now I'm stuck in the house another night with nothing to do while the hubby is at work. I'm lonely....

One of the girls in one of my classes a couple years ago was in a pizza place in Australia and the singer of incubus came in there he sate down and talked to them for a long time she had a photo of her husband and the singer how cool is that.
Iv seen lots of the band I wonted to see some of them I would like to see more of because it was at the warped tour and they only played half and hour like AFI they are so amazing I would love to see them again but a longer show this time if you get the chance to see them you should even if you dont like them. Pennywise is another grate show I saw at the warped tour that I would love to see in a longer show. There are some bands I dont lysine to anymore that I would still love to see live like iron madden which is going to be at oz fest this year and old school slayer not the new slayer but the way they were in the 80s
I hope you have a good night.
