Okay, so last night I went over to my friend Amber's house, and since the last time I've seen her, she's moved to a little house out in BFE, off of Cummings Rd, and then off of Hebron if anyone knows the area. Anyway, I'm on my way back about 2am or so, and I'm on South Rugby and all of a sudden BAMBI prances out in front of the expedition (because I wasn't in my car, thankfully) and I swerve to miss it, clip it anyway (he tripped over a fence and that was the last I saw ... somewhere Bambi has a limp :( ) and the tires lose traction, and I slide off into a deep ditch. After I realize I'm really stuck and won't get out of the situation alone, I make some phone calls with my DYING cell phone, no answer for the longest time, decide to call the cops - send them over even though I don't know my exact location, call the house again, finally get dad, and he's coming. I wait, a little nervous about my cell dying (oh Lord, what we would do without technology ... ) and I see this dude just pacing up the street. Okay, he could be out for a leisurely walk AT TWO IN THE MORNING, or he could be scouting the scene. I keep watching him, and decide he's making his way over, this freaks me out. I don't know you, it's two in the morning and I don't want your help and I don't have anything to protect myself with and if my phone goes dead I'm SOL. My dumbass panics, locks the doors and hides in the back behind the seat (yeah buddy, I'm safe now) ... I stay like that for what feels like forever until someone starts banging on the window - so I about shit a brick thinking it's the strange man, but it turns out to be my dad, with the cops coming right up the street.
WHOA BUDDY, long story short, we pull the truck out, yada yada, and the strange man turns out to be mentally retarded, and is also carrying a small rope in his hand. The cops questioned him and let him go (yay hendersonville police) but apparently he was going to try and "help out" with the rope ... just gonna drag a few thousand pounds of vehicle right outta that ditch with your rope huh ... go-go gadget strength! Of course I had other ideas about what psycho-dude was going to do with his rope, but I'm safe, which is most important ... and the car only has a few scratches. But yeah, I haven't been that scared in a while ... no fun homie.
