It's $500, which is honestly a fair price for those. I kind of thought it was a tie rod because I have had that issue before but I was hoping it was something cheaper

The other two things are good and bad

I need a new catalytic converter which is really bad\

and new rotors and brake pads which I can do myself

I just did my nails too exactly like the last time I needed new ones lmao

I HOPE my invite to seasons will last a bit because I am not going to be around much for another month probably I thought I could quit this job I hate and find a new one but no I have to find a new one before I quit haha

And I have a lot to do with the van and the apartment

BUT SOON I will be freeeeeee

I just have to work a lot to get this going. I am probably getting one of these and a briefcase solar panel instead of actually trying to wire a panel into the van

And I need a mattress, a diesel heater, a portable AC, cooking shit, etc.

STILL it is going to be a lot cheaper than buying a ready made van for like $50k which I could never afford lmao

ANYWAY I will try to hit up meme tags tomorrow if anyone is still interested because tonight I am going to bed very soon

also here is my crumb bum van again just because I'm excited

I wanted to do better insulation and walls/flooring but idk that might be a project for later because I am ready to leave now lmao

I WANT TAGS

also I still cant get over what you did with the previous van.... or rv.... I forget which

that was the coolest shit ever you are so cool

THANK YOU HARU I loved my RV so much and no one else did haha

I'm sad because a lot of the pictures in my google thingy disappeared like the excellent tropical counter tops

nOOOOOOO

I do have some pics from right before I sold it

and some scary cluttered ones from right before my shitty ex husband disappeared

GOD ITS SO COOL

I was so happy with how it came out but it was such an ordeal. IF my can ends up running ok, I might try to make it cool. Since it's just me I don't have to deal with a saboteur making everything 100 times harder haha

van* lmao can

can is accurate too I guess

ohh! yeah hope the one you have now works out !!

I might not do anything though and just save up to even just visit Japan :'D

well I won't say no to that idea

My list is like seeing Hamamatsu, Osaka, and Tokushima for sure

idk why but I got obsessed with Tokushima

I dont even know anything about Tokushima so now Im gonna look into it too HAHA

yessss

Kazurabashi Bridge - Tokushima | Travel Information

I'm gonna die on this bridge lmao

OH THEY HAVE THE NARUTO WHIRLPOOLS

YES

One of my desktop wallpapers at work is one of the whirlpools

And I'm always like, you can just sink in a whirpool if your boss yells at you for no reason again

I:m always glad those are real bc they (they as in adults and society and TV) lied to us about what happens with the Bermuda Triangle so I assumed whirlpools were also fake until I saw them in videos years ago

omg same

I found a live video from a random street in tokushima a while back and started looking shit up and was like... they're rea'l?!

Yesss haha

【LIVE配信】眉山ライブカメラ（徳島県徳島市）/Mt. Bizan in Tokushima Japa...

it's sad today, they cut all the street trees down

2023年8月13日徳島市阿波おどり2日目アーカイブ （徳島県徳島市）Mt Bizan･AwaOdori...the day this got recommended to me was a festival

omg its like 98% all the same exact white cars on the roads

Omg a festival, GOOD

lmao THE WHITE CAR KILLS ME because it looks exactly like my car

like I knew I got a white death box for a reason

LMAO

its just so funny bc in hmt ppl have the cutest car colors ive never seen on cars before

I love cute car colors

looking like the drive candy vehicles

I saw a minty green car the other day and was momentarily tempted but I don't want anyone to be able to recognize me lmao

LMAOOO

I've already been threatened twice with murder here in good ol SD for wearing a mask and for saying Trump is a shitstain lmao

so I should probably just be plain until I gtfo

ughhh

the west coast is so expensive but like.... worth it tbh especially after I have experienced this

SD seems dumpy human wise just from things you have said

IT REALLY IS. hilariously at my current job everyone but the asshole boss is from California

!!

so we just commiserate about how shitty it is here all day

and I read reviews of local mexican restaurants to everyone when the boss leaves

because we haven't found a good one

but they all have 5 star reviews here kzjfoisdufoes

we all went to one where like... it was basically those steamed bags of vegetables from walmart and canned beans

no seasoning

but they had these $5 fishbowl sized margaritas and we were like ohhhh it all makes sense

Oh wow

SIGHS........ IMAGINE HAVING GOOD MEXICAN RESTAURANTS.......

!!!!

RIGHT IMAGINE

I would kill for good food in general but mexican food is my favorite food......

I miss easily accessible good Mexican food

supposedly we have one but idk the name of it and others I have tried suck

lmao if anyone says it's good they either have a bunch of alcohol or it's someone who never had mexican food before

right

I'm gonna go to California and Arizona and eat a ton then go to Japan and not try to find any lmao

LMAOOO

I am sure like Tokyo has them and maybe other places that are not hamamatsu

nagoya etc

YEAH but tokyo scares me lmao

maybe when I move to nagoya that will be my mission

I'M FROM LA so it shouldn't but I'm like ehhhh do I need to go there

if Nagoya can gave FANTASTIC AMerican bbq I believe in my possiilities for mexican food

I say the same thing about LA now like I'll just drive through the desert around it

hahahahaha

ooooo

you know what im going there next month I should just do a search before i get there for mexican LMAOOO

YES

do a review

yesssss

I keep seeing concerts in Tokyo too like if I save enough to go there for a couple months like I want I will go there at some point

Sakanaction is always doing SOMETHING so I'll have to

yessssssssss

ohhhh

I love concerts in jp I never feel like im going to die from the crowads

or from ppl being insane

THAT SOUNDS SO NICE

I have been almost trampled at concerts here so many times

or smashed

SAME

Tori Amos and Howie Day was like... the only one I went to where everyone sat down hilariously

so far with the differen venus ive gone too its always super organized too

I havent gone to one wheer you stand up so idk how that works here yet but I dont like those much anyway... vkei concerts are like that from what I have seen and since everyone typically does movements with the band I havent felt brave enough to go to a vkei concert bc I dont wanna headbang LMAO

YEAH all the japanese concerts I ever see are Vkei or Utada Hikaru and everyone is freaking out

I mean I would too but still

psycho le cemu just put out an album so like... maybe I'll get there in time for whatever tour they do

hahaha yEAH

ooooohhhh!!

yeah!

I saw them at anime expo in like 2006 or something but it was... not great lmao

anime expo is hell

Larc en Ciel are gonna be here next month and are going to Nagoya and tho that is super close to me I sadly am not going bc when I checked how to buy tickets it looks like literally everything requires you to have a membership so like, pass on paying both concert and membership cries

OH NO

I SAID THEYRE GONNA BE HERE LIKE THEYRE NOT FROM HERE you know what i mean

I would probably just cry the entire time if I were anywhere near hyde so that would be lame lmao

HAHAHA SAME THO LIKE

IDK HOW ANYONE CAN'T like

I've been obsessed with them for so long it's probably a mental illness now lmao

I was gonna go to bed like an hour and half ago but now I turned on driver's high

RIP

AHHAHA RIP

It's ok I have been doing a bad job at work in the hoped they just fire me then I can pretend I'm blameless but

even messing around on my phone half the day I'm doing better than the last like 6 people who all mysteriously quit suddenly
