Not a one of them would question driving me home in this situation-all have gladly done it and I have done similar stuff in return for them. Like, thank GOD I do not have friends like Julia and kitty and geoff where it is somehow selfish or entitled to do small things for your friends and have them done in return as well. I seriously don't think I could even survive if I was surrounded by people with that attitude or if that was the attitude I returned. I guess that is normal though so it makes me cling to the friends I do have even more. Reminds me I should be grateful for them!

My mom's busy Sunday hence why she's not driving me home. I haven't gotten much sleep, so perhaps lack of brain oxygen is why I'm still confused. Okay, soooooo:1. If you have the $400 for your tires already, why don't you buy them now so that you could drive yourself to/from AC? If you don't have the money for your tires, shouldn't the $200 you're spending on AC be used for tires instead? (I know you Jersey folks drive everywhere, so I would think tires would be more important at this particular moment. And you don't have to celebrate a birthday the exact day of it, you can do it a month later or so for this one year.)2. And are there any NJ Transit routes to AC that would bring you relatively close to your house, then you could take a cab home or ask someone besides your mom to pick you up at the bus station?

I don't get it.Honestly me either, it makes no sense at all. She thinks its too much driving and she has to be back early or something.

Honestly, I probably wouldn't make the hour drive after a trip like that.Then the friend shouldn't have agreed to drive her home several weeks ago.She changed her mind, FOR SHAME. FOR SHAAAAAME.
