Sorry about the lack of communication.
It's been pretty rough on me lately. Bills have laminated all of my finances to a wall. You've seen laminate, right? How it coats something in a nice, clear gloss that is somewhere between being as plastic-opaque and crystalline-clear? Yeah, well, I can see right down to Mister Andrew Jackson's face on that wall of bills. It's taunting and it's annoying. I can't even spare money towards car-repair because I need food and a roof over my head first. Probably the biggest bill I had to pay (and probably the one that kinda screwed me over) was a ****ing two hundred dollar cell phone bill, drawn up by yours truly and his bleeding heart. I had enough money to pay it thanks to a bonus I got earlier in the month, so I lucked out there. As for exactly why? That's a whole 'nother can of worms and it has to do with a girl. I'll tell you about it later if you like.
...you're probably wondering what happened to that mechanic and that money my parents gave me. Both gone. The mechanic never showed and the money went towards feeding my roommate and I (much to the chagrin of my parents, but they reluctantly understood). I had to get my roomie's Dad to come out and put the new belts in, the original problem plaguing the car.
If it's not one thing, it's another.
It's not the belts. Oh no, the belts are on there and they start to spin just fine. Hell, everything is turning over okay. The engine won't fire, though. Kinda like synapses in your brain that fire courtesy of nerve-signals, my car engine isn't getting the right stuff to get going. We're thinking it's either the starter, the fuses, or the distributor cap. We know that it's not anything too expensive, at the very least.
