Freeway acrobats
It's time to shed some lights into the life of moi.
The most recent stuff and pretty big thing:
Friday night, on the way back to Sacramento, I performed some car-flipping stunts all on my own. Too bad the only paid I got are a sore neck and some sore shoulders. Awesome. Oh yeah, and my car, totally messed up and at some tow yard in Fairfield. I used to hate Fairfield a lot and I don't think my relationship with that town is not improving.
You want the story? Here's the story. I was driving along, not too fast, mind you, around 70mph. Now, by some of your standards, that's pretty whimpy for me to go 5 mph above speed limit on a clear road. I was wearing my seatbelt and no, I wasn't talking on a cellphone (everyone single person asked me those questions). I was on the left most lane and my car all of sudden turned toward the right side. Right near there was a big rig, so I tried to swirl back towards the left toward the divider. Then I stepped on the break because I remembered my dad telling me to step on the break no matter what happened. Then I don't remember what happened but I remember thinking to myself "Oh shit, I've lost control of the car!" Then I saw the air bag going at me, the fuzzy gray interior roof of my car, thinking to myself "Crap, I'm in a lot of trouble, the car is flipping over the divider." When it all ended, my car was turned so that the front is facing East (toward Berkeley) so I thought for sure I already flipped over to the over side of my original direction. Then I remembered not being able to see anything until I realized that my glasses were knocked off my face and were on the passenger seat.
I grabbed for my cellphone and started dialing 911. They put me on hold! Then some people came by and told me to get out of the car because the hood started smoking. So I rolled down the window and climbed out. What a mess. I collected the stuff in my purse and went out while on hold with 911. A man said: Don't worry about it, we already got the Po Po coming. A lady helped me out and the man started collecting stuff that fell out of my purse. Within 2 minutes, the highway patrol came and took a report.
To analyze my situation, I don't know what had happened that made the car went wonky. I don't remember passing out but I think that I was. There were two 911 calls, one at 10:13PM and another at 10:22PM. I made my call at 10:25PM. So, given people's reaction time after they see what happened, then I must say that it happened at 10:10 at the earliest. So what happened between 10:10 and 10:24 (when I "regain consciousness")? Did I pass out? How do you account for the time that elapse? Could it be the time I spent twisting and turning? It didn't seem like a full 15 minutes that I spent flipping and turning. I must say the duration of the flipping and turning must be at most 5 minutes.
Anyhow, I'm alive and kicking and that's all I got to say. Also, to summarize the last month.
1. We got burglarized in Berkeley.
2. Helen was in a car accident, too.
3. I was in a car accident.
4. I lost my credit card and license.
5. Some really nice man found my credit card and license and sent it back to me and wrote to me a letter in Spanish. So cute.
6. I found $5 on the stairs on Friday.
I thought this is interesting. Here are the things that are out of the ordinary that I did on Friday:
1. I found $5.
2. Michael's fortune cookie says "You will win the lottery today." So, I figure that I should use the $5 I found and buy lottery tickets for Michael so we could win!
3. Went to Comic Relief after in an attempt to be adventurous.
4. Went to EB Games randomly to be different and adventurous for once.
5. Went to see the Berkeley Public Library to be different and adventurous.
6. Left Berkeley half an hour later than usual.
7. When I went to get gas before driving home to Sacramento, I use a different route than I usually take.
8. I decided to switch glasses for no reason.
9. Did some car ballerina moves on the freeway.
10. Almost die.
11. Came home to find a letter from a Luis de Jesus containing my credit card and driver license.
12. My aunt is coming over to visit us from Viet Nam in about 2 weeks.
Oh yeah, I went to the emergency room today to have someone take a look at my neck and shoulders to see if I'm okay. Guess what? I sat there and waited for 4 hours and they didn't call me. It was a colossal waste of my Saturday so I came home. I would much rather suffer my soreness at home watching MacGyver than at the stinky emergency room. Eff you UC Davis emergency room!
The end.
I lie. Not the end. By the way, I would like to not talk about my awesome high speed stunt anymore. I'm all talked out about it. I would like to not discuss it anymore. I need to move on with life and learn from it.
