Well yay and hooray! my poor father handed me a receipt last night and it took me about half an hour to work out that all those zeros meant he had paid for the car and that i'd be driving my own wheels within the next ten days!!
WOOOOOOohOOOOOOOO!!!
we were on a waiting list, which is ridiculous, since it's not superflashy ultra pricy car, just a silly little Hyundai, but thanks to my father's charm and the exchange of several expensive bottles of wine, the car is "surprisingly" arriving a whole month earlier than expected.
SO yay!
it's a minty green so it's too feminine for my dad to be caught dead in, which means i pretty much have it to myself till my sister comes back and demands equal shares. Lucky for me, it's in my name, so even if she took me to court, she'd have NO PROOF.
look, i'm the younger sibling here, i got the smaller room, the uglier dolls, the earlier curfew, so it's about time i get PAYBACK.
Have already mentally bought stuff for the car, even though have not physically sat in it yet
(tapes, vanilla air freshner, tissue paper, gum, bumper sticker, dangly things for mirror, special key holder, makeup remover, sunglasses, lip gloss, moisteriser-you never know- mp3 player, gum, matching handbag- i like to be coordinated)
Am also slightly worried about actually driving it, since it has been a bit of an urban myth for the past few years, and dont exactly trust myself with not running over people or scratching cars, or pissing off suicidal bus drivers who are absolutely lethal in egypt.
oh brother. plus poor father lives in delusional world where he thinks i wont drive to cairo and especially not to basata for the next year.
yeah.
uhuh.
Good luck with that, mister.
He is actually going to test me by making me drive to the cairo airport to pick my sister up in a few weeks. hands get all clammy and sweaty just thinking about it. and his eagle stare on my hands for two and a half hours going and coming.
oboja, must start practising.
Speaking of which, what should i name her? and why are cars always she's??? i have a friend who named his car Olfat, and another who calls hers Pica the Slut (coz she's easy to use)
So what should i name mine?
i suck on names, evidence: all my pets: onespot, twospot, blackie, whitie, martha, lisa, ronaldo and pussyboy.
So any cool but funky suggestions will be warmly welcomed.
have also driven coworker mad with practising polish or slipping polish words into every sentence.
even the sweetest i love you involves a lot of spitting.
i mean "Koham zie bardzo" is not exactly romantic is it?
oh well, Dowidzenia!
