I got into a car accident. A pretty big fender bender. I was coming back from dinner with my sister and we stopped at this light. The light turned green, and we went through it. I turned my head to the left, why I don't know, and the next thing I know, Allie's going "Jill....Jill...JILL!!!" I turn and look back at the road and this SUV was stopped in front of us, because the car in front of them was turning into a parking lot and had stopped. I slammed on my brakes, but I don't know if I just stepped on the brakes too late or if I slid on some rainwater (it was raining out and has been doing so all day), but I just ran right into the back of them. My puppy, who was in the backseat, literally FLEW into the dashboard console, and my car bounced back a few feet. So I was like "Holy. Fucking. Shit."
I put on my flashers and got out of the car, and the people in the other car got out too. A girl was driving, and her husband/boyfriend was with her. So we looked at the cars to see what the damage was. Their car was a 4Runner, and I had hit the trailer hitch, so that was the only thing damaged on their car. And it was just scratched up a little. My car, on the other hand, didn't fare as well. The top of the bumper is all scratched up, and my grill has a nice big crack in the middle. My license plate frame is literally falling off in pieces, and the license plate is dented right in the middle, so it looks like someone tried to bend it in half. The lady driving the 4Runner said there was no need to call the cops, but we exchanged insurance info anyway.
I was shaking so badly, and after we pulled away, I started to cry. I felt so bad, especially because Brody had hit the radio/heating console so hard. She wasn't hurt, though. We were all a little sore, but that's it. I got home, and I was so worried my mom was going to freak out and take the car away from me. But she was really cool about it. She just laughed and told me not to worry about it. She called me "Crash" a couple of times too. She rules.
Anyway, so that was my exciting event of the month.

On a lighter note, Allie got home from Cape Cod today, and she brought me PRESENTS!!!! She got me 3 pins (AFI, Bad Religion, and the Misfits), and
She went to this store called Funky Monkey. It's like Hot Topic.
She got me a pirate flag to hang in my dorm room when I go to college. ARGH ME MATEYS!!!!!
And she got me Art, the AFI guy. I wuv him. He looks a bit like Davey...

Tomorrow I'm hanging out with the girls all afternoon. We're going to help Elizabeth dye her hair. I'll try and take pictures. It should be interesting...
Now I'm going to upload more of my CDs to my iPod. I <3 my iPod.
I watched "I Love the 90s" tonight. I'm sort of disappointed. The commentary's not as funny, and some of the stuff is boring. It's like the producers of the series are trying too hard to make it as good as "I Love the 80s." Hopefully it'll get better as the 90s progress...
Brody thinks she's a kitten. She's always sitting on the top of the back of the couch like a cat. She's a nut.
