sorry...I was gonna post more but the mortification stopped me. I needed a day to come up with a good lie to tell you all. just kidding. honestly I was too tired to type it out.
I was in my "spot" by the water sitting in my car, hanging out with a boy. We weren't doing anything-just talking. A cop came up and said we couldn't be parked there. So, he ran our licenses and said to leave once everything came back..but mine was apparently suspended. Remember when I said in another thread that I got ticketed for not wearing my seatbelt? $25...never paid it. Forgot about it.
But that's the least of my worries. I also had three warrants for my arrest for three checks (bounced) in 2003. I had NO CLUE about them. So...I was cuffed right there. He took me to jail and I spent twelve hours there. My bond hearing went very well. The Judge is a patient of mine and she recognized me right away...let me out without bail and my court hearing is in March. The checks are gonna kill me financially...$2260.
so, that's that. Paid the ticket today, and paid the DMV their $100 and got my license reinstated.
funny...my experience in jail was pretty hilarious. I'll have to post some more about that later. I was determined, as soon as I started to panic in the back of the cop car, that I was going to stay strong and not wig out. Once I arrived at the station and saw that I was surrounded with people who were completely fucked up-like-in ways I could never imagine-I knew I'd be okay. At least I got some pretty funny stories out of it. I'll post em later.
