I crashed my car today. I was not on my cell, didn't have the music up, was wearing my seatbelt, had my eyes on the road, was going 65mph, and then my car swerved. Don't have a clue why. Everyone's assuming it was black ice. I was in the far left lane of the 3-lane highway. The car smashed into the median, apparently (according to a truck driver named Rich) almost did a complete 360, went across 3 lanes of a traffic and an on ramp, and then fell into a ditch. I didn't hit anyone else. The only thing I hurt was my shoulder which hit the door when the car hit the median and my back's messed up from being flung around. I'm mostly just very sore. Apparently my necklace with the shamrock and fortune cookie on it really is lucky.
The part that scared me the most was when I got to the ditch. I was sure my car was going to roll and somehow that scared me more than the rest of the accident. That's the part I keep replaying. I know I was very fortunate. It could have been much much worse.
My parents have basically been jerks. My mom's been in a foul mood all day and apparently made snide remarks the whole time my brother was driving to the scene about how she's always "prided herself" on how well her kids drive. Seriously???? And then my dad was in Decatur and so I didn't see him when he got home because I was sleeping. So I just went down a bit ago and he starts throwing a million questions my way and I'm half asleep and not understanding him and he's making comments about the airbag which I don't even remember deploying, but it did and so I"m even more confused and don't have any answers. Apparently I frustrated him so he made some comment about my terrible attitude and stomps away. Cool. Thanks fuckfaces.
I've basically been bawling all day and feeling sorry for myself because
1. The front of my car was completely ripped off, my driver-side tires were fucked, and the back of the car was damaged so I'm not going to have a car for quite some time.
2. I couldn't find my updated insurance card b/c I couldn't get into the backseat so I got a ticket (that will be waved when I can produce a valid insurance card in FEBRUARY at my COURT DATE).
3. I can't go out and drink b/c I don't have a valid state I.D. until I get to the DMV tomorrow.
4. Nobody's around and the people that are around with the exception of Teddy and Libby are douches.
5. Rachel's in Hawaii
6. Michael ALSO got into an accident
and on top of everything else, I feel awful for Meg because her grandma died today.
Shitty day of doom and badness.
I can't stop crying like every 5 seconds. I feel totally out of control and I effing hate that I now have to borrow cars from my parents and Teddy in order to do anything.
FUCK THIS.
