Totaled My Car

Nov 29, 2004 20:24

Didn't take me long.

Spent 2700 dollars.

Wrecked it two minutes from home.

I've killed a tree. I'm a murderer. My car is officially trash now and I only had it for a small while. No more job. No more rides.

Gone.

And yet I'm strangely elated at the same time. Living through the wreck I had today completely impacted my perspective on life.

I went through shock. That was the craziest part of all. My mom didn't hear me, because she was two rooms away, but after crying heavily suddenly I started hyperventalating (wonder if that's an SAT word) and then followed it up with laughing really hard really insanely constantly. And as I laughed, my whole body started feeling tingly (like when you're foot falls asleep. Isn't that the worst?). I nearly passed out before mom grabbed me and told me to breath deeply.

While in shock, I couldn't grip with my hands. When I tried to talk, I only made strange noises and tears flowed down my shaking numb face.

I wonder if it was worth 2700 dollars to change so much in so little time.

Perhaps the insurance that may not exist will cover the costs.

I've been irresponsible. I've been more than that. I've been careless.

Needless to say, I was late to Fun Station. Yeah. I'm still late, and unless Tom shows up there tomorrow, I'll be late even longer. But if any day we both meet at funstation, I was just that.

Late.

I won't have "not shown up at all".

Frado really helped me. She held me and brought me back into sanity.

I was desperately hoping she would come by.

And she came.

There's a strange sick feeling about knowing I don't have a car tomorrow, and I'll be taking the bus again.

I'll need to get over that.

I didn't have a driver's license for 18 years of my life anyway.
