tybalt

its official. i feel like an adult. 

in the grown-up sense of the word. 

why?

BECAUSE I BOUGHT A CAR. 

and i couldn't love it more.

its a honda civic and that means its reliable, safe and will last a looong time

 i named him Tybalt. 

Tybalt has always been one of my favorite Shakespearean characters 

why?

1. his name is awesome

2. when i read the play he sounded like he had to be good looking

3. and then when i saw the 70's movie he was good looking

4. he is fashionable, vain and sleek

5. cares about courtesy

6. you don't want to mess with him. he is a beast

8. he is firey 

7. very loyal to his family

8. he fulfills one of my favorite literary role- he acts as a foil

9. has a tragic / dramatic ending. i love those. 

10. out of all the minor characters in all the Shakespeare i find him the most memorable 

11. best of all he kills Mercutio. whom i find completely annoying. 

and when i got the car, Tybalt just came to me. so that is his name.  

our maiden voyage together was incredible. 

i felt so lucky and totally luxurious. 

i felt like i didn't deserve him

(i do realize that i am talking about my car like a boyfriend.

they can be very similar sometimes.)

my dad and i then spent 2 1/2 hours washing it, waxing it, getting new windshield wipers (Dad wanted to get the best brand. so that mean the German brand to him.)
 and tons of other stuff that i didn't know the purpose for.
and by my dad and i- i mostly mean my dad because he started taking over the process while i just watched.
then he had to drive it around to "test it out"
then he said he would be happy if this was his car.
Whoa there dad- this baby only has a mama and its moi. 

BEST WAY TO END SUMMER FOR SURE
