BIG FAIL.

You know, this whole 'posting often' thing - a foreign concept far beyond the human imagination... ---Actually, I never have much to say during the summer (lame!), but this entry is a big ole' Entry of Fail. Why, you may ask? Well, I'll tell you.

Fail #1: I'm pretty sure this is one of the most basic Teenage Stories.

1. Child gets a new phone.
2. Family receives large bill of phenomenal proportions.
3. Angry words fly through the air like large, graceless boulders of guilt.
4. Child (actually, I'm an 'adult' now, making this an even bigger fail than before) admits to not fully understanding new phone & provided services.
   
5. Mom calls in to phone company, acts ridiculous, and angrily fixes fail.
6. (It actually wasn't my fault, as the phone had been pre-set to tug a few dollars of service every five minutes or so for the past month. But still.)

So, to say - my nickname on IRC went through BigFail, to BiggerFail, to BiggestFail, before finally proceeding to MyMomFixedMyFail.

Fail #2: I can't seem to drive when my mother is in the car. It's like a visceral reaction. Not quite sure why, considering I did fine with it when I was actually learning how to drive. Now, though - it's like a jinx. I am a horrible driver when my mother is in there with me. Not blaming her or anything, but damn. That was some awesome fail!driving last night. Otherwise... I'm a good driver, I swear.

Fail #3 (just to finish off the trilogy): I haven't actually failed a third time yet. I'll be working on it.

Any of you had big fails of your own recently? Do tell.

(P.S.: Things that have made me happy: Mayflower opening, my mom fixing the fail, and nobody noticing me run that red light.)
