(no subject)
The good:
- I got asked to do an interview for Urbane magazine (a little pull-out in the Calgary Sun)
- I may also be on the cover of said magazine! Keep your eyes peeled, it should be out next week.
- Convention is really soon, and this is the first year I'm actually a "somebody", so I'm pretty excited.
- I finally got a few days off to recuperate from work!
The bad and the ugly:
- Completely totalled my car while out in Lake Louise with Becky & Meggan on Saturday :( No one was injured, thank god, but the car was destroyed and we were stranded out there for awhile. What happened was there were 2 cars ahead of me, the first one looked like it was slowing down to make a turn. I started to adjust my speed, quickly checked the rearview mirror, but when I looked back to the road they had slammed on their brakes and I couldn't stop in time. Some fucking idiot had decided it was a good time to jaywalk across the road. Anyways, the car in the very front (who was a key part in causing the accident) sped off, but I dented up the bumper of the person in front of us, so we exchanged all the info and all that fun stuff. Ugh. Horrible, embarassing, and financially devastating. But maaaaad props to Becky & Meggan, I was in complete shock after we hit and completely clueless as to what I should do. They saved my ass though, Becky called some people and arraged to have us picked up, called the police/tow truck, and Meggan helped with taking down numbers and names when I was too freaked out to have any sense in me. Thanks guyth.
- I still owe my parents about $5500 for the car, which I only had one-way insurance on (for the other guy), and on top of that I need to find a new vehicle.
- Due to said expenses, I can no longer go on my trip to Thailand next summer, so I'm pretty much just going to die of stress.
Oh well... what can you do.
