blog block

i can't believe it. i just started blogging and i already have blog block. i need a muse :-) haha. since nothing significant, annoying, or overly funny happened to me during the last few days, i will take a moment to remember orange julius-the car of the world. orange julius was the first car that i was totally responsible for...payments, insurance, registration...all on me. of course, i picked something fun...an orange volkswagon beetle, with a flower vase and everything. he was a little expensive, but my desire to finally drive a vw beetle was too strong, so i stuck myself in a 39 month lease with the little guy. he was special, flashy, fast, and surprisingly roomy. i could even fit my bike in his trunk. less than 3 months after i got him, some lady turned her crappy van right into his rear end. she said she didn't see us...how can someone not see a bright orange car?! ha! but julius got all fixed up good as new, and we finished out our time together sans trouble. i was sad when the time came for me to return julius, however, i was ready for a cheaper, less conspicuous, and more blending in with the grown-ups-type car. now that the lease on my silver, reliable, sensible yet nameless toyota corolla is almost up, i think i'm ready for a car with the spunk and sassiness that julius radiated. there will never be another orange julius, but maybe, just maybe, my next vehicle can come close.
