I received a text message today from my friend's dad telling me that Shim (friend person) had an accident on her way to TAFE and that she was in hospital (the words 'but is okay' completely went over me because of accident and hospital sort of took over if anything) so before my mobile battery dies, I rush out of class and leave a message on her dad's mobile asking about her (mobile then dies).
Anyway, after I get back home and get my phone plugged in I ring her up:

Me: Are you alright? What happened?

Shim: Oh, I'm ok. I just got hit by a car.

OH SHIT. D:

She told me she's fine and the lady that hit her is probably more shaken up than she is but still. Hit by a car.
The rest of the conversation goes as et cetera as I stress and she's indifferent but curious as to what we got up to.

Meme time kids, I found this one on
folkballad's page:

1.Think of ten short bits of interesting stuff about yourself. And they've gotta be true.
2. Come up with five false statements regarding yourself, but for fun's sake keep them in the threshold of believability.
3. Jumble them all up together and list them in any order.
4. Post them on your LiveJournal and let people guess which the five false ones are!

1. When I was really little I decided to give my goldfish a bubble bath by putting soap in the water but I couldn't figure how to create turbulence it so I used a potato masher but I got a bit carried away to say the least, meaning that the lives of the little fish were short lived.
2. I was at a house my Godmother was house-sitting. During the course of the day, my sister had fallen off the side of the pool, my father had fallen into the rose bushes, my mother had previously broken her arm and I had tried to get into the front garden by climbing through the front gate and in the process, got stuck.
   
3. During the course of my younger childhood, I had been thrown out of every Preschool in the area (and in surrounding areas) for being 'disruptive' to other children. I ended up going to a Cristian place that catered for special needs
4. When I was seven, I invited about 50 people to a birthday party that I had organized without my parent's knowledge. Thankfully, a parent rang beforehand asking about details so before people started to arrive my mum had gotten a cake and everything ready just in time.
5. I had a premature twin that died before being born.
6. My cousins and I believed that there was a 'Wood Monster' in the lodge's wood room.
   
7. While flying over to Europe one year, my parents and members of crew spent eight hours searching for me (going as so far as to call Sydney airport to see if I was back there) while I was happily sleeping in an overhead locker.
8. I have never seen any of the Star Wars movies and whilst sitting through the first, I fell asleep trying to watch it.
   
9. I was sick one day at school and thus was sent to sick bay (a room that was basically just bunk beds with blankets, pillows and a chuck-up bin). The people in the student office promptly forgot about me and I was left in the room - to a point where when I woke up it was way past closing time and dark outside.
   
10. My sister tied me to a tree and put a car battery in front of me telling me that it was a bomb (and that it would go off at any time). She then ran off and left me there.
    
11. The reason why they now have huge lockable gates at my old school is that I used to run away from school extremely often to either go down the road to the fish pond or up the road to the park.
12. My sister also once sewed me in a cotton sack up on my Uncle's property and loaded me into a truck loaded with other cotton sacks that were going into town (about 6 hours away) it was only when my Uncle saw one of the bags wriggling that I was discovered.
13. When I was three I went missing at Chatswood Mall for over two hours during a live performance of Johnston and Friends - I was actually backstage annoying the characters as they came offstage. Security was having trouble trying to catch me.
    
14. Because daycare down at Perisher Blue was full and my mother couldn't take care of me while she was skiing, she gave me a 'birthday' that night (by buying a chocolate cake mix on the way home and trowing me a party limited to the people in the lodge) so while signing up for ski school the next day, I could confidently say I was five years of age. Suffice to say, I constantly skied off from the group to follow rabbit tracks and ended up falling to sleep on the instructor going up the ski lift.
15. I own at least 20 Transformers collected over the years from when Beast Wars came out (90's) to the 2007 movie to the new Animated series.
