Well, it is past 7:10AM (my departure time) on Friday the 4th, and I am very obviously not on the plane. The assault by the nasty hamburger continues, but it was actually as much a blessing as a curse.
The engine I was going up there to get might fall through with this last minute change, but I was able to change my plane tickets, for an extra seventy-five dollars, from this weekend until March 14-20, so I'll get to spend almost a whole week in Seattle during Spring Break. This is the first spring break I'll ever have done anything exciting besides working my ass off (my Senior Year during spring break I worked a 90-100 hour week at a store that was only open eleven hours a day...do the math...).
I seriously hope this engine doesn't fall through. My only problem is talking my brother into sitting around at a Public Storage for an hour and a half waiting on a stranger. Oh, and he'll have to put a storage unit in his name for a few weeks. No, that's not my biggest problem, my biggest problem is getting the seller to take the $400 remaining through Pay Pal. He wanted cash, but there's no way my bro will be able to come up with 400 cash on such short notice.
We'll see how this sordid little exchange works out. I really want that freakin engine, though!

My asshole brother said he'd be able to help me out tonight, yet isn't answering his fucking phone. If I can't get a hold of him tonight two very bad things will happen:
1) A stranger he does not know will show up at his house, unannounced, to drop off my engine (which he isn't expecting).
2) I will be out eight hundred dollars and a very bad ass engine I've been lusting after for five years.
I could kill this asshole. He never answers his fucking phone, especially when he promises that he will!
