This morning was lame. I got up at 8am, something I never want to do again, and went to court to with my roommate to get his restraining order extended. I had no idea what to wear to court, and I have no professional clothes, only Urban Outfitters version of sophistication. So, I wore pin-striped low-rider jeans. Yeah, that was the best I could do. Anyway, my roommates case was FIRST, which would have fucking awesome because that would mean I'd be back in bed and asleep only twenty minutes later; however, the lame ass who has the restraining order on him got "legal representation," and that damn lawyer wasn't there yet. I'm sorry, does anyone else think that's weird? The lawyer just didn't get to court on time. So, we were pushed to LAST. Big difference between first and last. I watched all these little traffic cases, people arguing against their tickets. I saw one situation that was just total bullshit and put me in a bad mood. This girl was pulled over by a cop waving at her since from the side of the road - this cop having just pulled over someone else, and the officer gave her a ticket saying, "I think you were speeding." No radar, no speedometer (sp?), just thinks it. The judge made the chick pay for the ticket. The girl was pissed and asked why since there was no proof of speeding. The judge replied, "I think you have a good argument, it's just the scale tips towards the officer." He made it seem like this imaginary scale is objective. There IS no scale, buddy. You decide where it tips. Fucking judges sometimes. Seriously.
