It's official, January sucks. This month I have:
-Missed our first inner-dorm visitation
-Found out that, at the end of February, my best friend in the world is moving 400 miles away (from pascagoula. I haven't mapquest'd from columbus yet)
-Gotten into a major wreck that totalled on of my family's vans
-Along with the rest of the school, got smacked on the hand and totally broken by the loss of internet.
-Started listening to Linkin Park AND Nickleback. (THIS IS CLEARLY THE WORST ITEM ON THE LIST AS IT INDICATES I HAVE LOST MY EVERLOVING MIND. AND POSSIBLY MY TASTE. ><) My roommate seems to think that Eminem is next; she's wrong. Very, very wrong.
The wreck, while it didn't seriously hurt anyone, shook me up pretty bad. It was Friday before last, my Aunt Brenda was driving with me in the passenger seat and Grandma in the back. We were on our way home from Columbus, on this little two-lane part of '57 (actually it was State Line Road, which is a detour off '57 so you don't have to drive through Leakesville). There's no light, nobody around, and one minute we're talking and then we turn a corner and I see headlights.
"He's in our lane," I say, totally stating the very obvious.
"We're going to wreck," Says Aunt Brenda, because obvious-stating appears to be an inherited trait.
BAM! A big king-cab truck takes the front left side paneling totally off. It like crushed the bumper, took off the wheel, shattered the window and took the outside of the door off, destroyed the column that held the driver's belt in place. Had it been a few inches over, it would have killed Aunt Brenda. Luckily we were all fine, albeit cold for an hour and a half while we waited for her son to drive from Lucedale (is that how it's spelled? hell if I know) to pick us up. My mom says I'm only allowed to come home for extended now. DX
As for the internet thing, that's a story for when it isn't roomcheck time.
