omigod.
I just experienced a real life Christmas Miracle. I am capitalizing that because that is how real and miraculous it was.
I was leaving a party early, around midnight, because I was pretty exhausted from working an extra long day, when I hopped into my car on the corner of Hollywood and Wilton.
I had been so proud of myself all day because I like to think that I am really good at driving around with the yellow gas light on but never actually running out of gas.
Until tonight.
I barely made it to the stop light when my car pathetically puttered to a stop.
(Let me add to the visuals of this story by mentioning that I was wearing four inch heels, a skirt, and about four bows.)
I was thankfully across the street from a gas station, so thinking it was NBD I ran into the station and asked the attendant if I could borrow his gas can to put some gas in my car and therefore pull into the station.
Well, he decided not to lend me his gas can. He said people always stole them. I pretty much had to beg him for a good ten minutes to please let me borrow it and that I promised I would not steal his gas can. Finally, I get it full of gas and run over to my car where I proceed to pour it into my tank. Two seconds into that the gas can explodes and gasoline goes EVERYWHERE. Except into my gas tank.
So, hands drenched in gasoline, I run back to the station and ask the guy if he can let me borrow another gas can that works and he says no. No explanation, just no. I then ask him if he will help me push my car the ten feet into the gas station and he also says no.
So I decide I am a strong lady and can push my own car into the station but the universe laughed at me and as I was walking across the street Starr Kirkland appeared out of the mist to come to my aid.
Let me add that now it's raining.
Starr offered to help me push my car, thank god, because we all know I can't open a bottle of water, much less push a car anywhere.
But just as Starr is telling me what to do to push it in A TOW TRUCK FROM HEAVEN pulls over behind me and the driver graciously offers to pull me into the station.
Because it's Christmas.
And in less than two minutes, he has my car attached to his truck and rolling into the gas station!
He just tells me his name is Tony and to have a Happy Holiday. Leaving me shocked and downright euphoric.
Thanks Tony.
I am sending you karma times a million.
Thanks to Tony, the whole ordeal lasted barely 2o minutes and I am in my bed and I didn't even cry.
Unbelievable. I had forgotten people like Tony exist. He's my knight and shining armor and I hope I am able to find him again someday. He didn't have any cards but Starr took a picture of his truck.
p.s. i accidentally touched my lips with my gasoline hands and now my lips are numb. that won't last forever right?
p.p.s. I left the party bc i was exhausted and now i am so filled with goodwill i can't sleep.
