november 11th 2008 tuesday 7:13 pm i was recently driving home from a friend's place and heard one of my tires making a clunking sound. i immediately thought it was flat so upon parking my car i inspected all of my tires. there was one, the front passenger side, that was under-inflated a week ago. i had stopped at a gas station and put in the proper amount of air. there were no more problems with that tire, but i had thought it was the one that became flat. it actually turned out that the back driver's side tire had a screw and another scrap of metal lodged into it. i am glad it hadn't popped on my way home. i took it in to get fixed the next morning because i had to leave for work by 1:30 pm. i was told that they would replace that tire as well as the other one because they noticed it was deflating. i was going to ask for new tires this christmas, but seeing as how i already got them i don't really want anything under my parents' tree. i don't really need anything anyways. i wanted this reusable shopping bag american apparel was selling, but i think i will buy that myself. besides, i think my parents are buying my sister a car as her christmas present so i don't want them spending any more money. it's not that big of a deal anyway. it's just christmas.
