well it has happened, my first accident, and it was on my way to church too for the first time in like 2 years. was that a sign, i don't know, i hope not, cause thats a shitty sign. well here's what happened, i was on my way to Mary's house on 31st St and Osborn and i missed her turn going down a residential street, so i slow down a little get closer to the curb so i can make a u-turn no cars are coming, i see someone behind me, but i figure its ok he'll slow down, i go to make the u-turn i see in my rear view mirror that the guy is more in the center of the lane as though he was attempting to pass me cause he thought i was making a right hand turn, thats what it looked like to me. the U-turn ended up in collission and there you go. i got out, he was having trouble opening his door so i asked if he needed help to get out, didn't answer me and got out of his car on the other end and then asked me why i was trying to make a U-turn there and then i lied and said i wasn't i was trying to make a left hand turn, cause of course that sounds better. he starts to ask around if there were witnesses no one says they saw anything. my neck starts to twinge i call 911 my hand is shaking pretty badly at this point, i can hardly dial it, i can't talk anymore on the phone, so i pass it off to some random person that was standing near me. and he talks to them for awhile i sit down as the shock kind of washes over me and i feel like i can't stand anymore. eventually the guy hands the phone back to me and says the cops are on the way, i call jordan and my parents. the cops get there one of them is incredibly hot, im telling you i kind of stared at his beautiful face for a few moments thinking yes, my cop is hot, he should be a stripper. Oh yeah, earlier i had locked my keys in my car cause i really wasn't thinking about it, so the cop asks us to move our cars and i tell him i can't cause i locked the keys in my car. he laughs at me with his perfect white smile, flashing for all to see. he takes our statments and i learn that the older guy claims that i was making a left hand turn out of another side street and thats how he side-swiped me, not because he was behind me and just not able to put his brakes on. and you know it doesn't even make sense i was coming from the freeway loop 202, and going down osborn, not coming down 30th street, but whatever, the old man has decided to lie. Honestly i admitt it, i was on the right hand side of the road more so it may have looked like i was going to turn right, instead of doing my sudden U-turn, but i definately wasn't pulling out of another side street. But anways we have to wait around for awhile cause my license is locked in my car, one of the bystanders asks me if i want anything i request a glass of water, it was a kind gesture,he didn't offer any to the old man, cause i was wearing a short skirt and slightly revealing top so of course if you had to choose between a barely dressed girl or an old crabby man to show kindness too who would you pick? sadly it was me, but then i had been crying and looking like a lost little girl. also these little kids sat next to me and kept looking at me and smiling, while i waited for my parents to get there and the tow truck so i could get my keys out. eventually everyone arrived that i needed to be there and i got all my ducks in a row, and the cops decided not to cite either one of us, b/c either of our stories are plausible, so now i have to go to court and have the insurance companies rangle it out. The older man didn't speak english well, sounded slavic and sort of told his story in a confused manner, kept saying i made a U-turn, but that wouldn't go with his story, so im hoping that i win. but yeah, that cop was hot, i hope he's at the hearing. but seriously im depressed and want to cry alot right now. it was kind of funny while talking to jessica afterwards, we argue about what i should wear to the hearing and apparently i can't wear my american eagle skirt cause its too flowy or something like that. but it's kind of amusing that we spent like five minutes deciding what i should wear to the court appearance even though it hasn't been scheduled yet.
