*smash* goes miranda's car.....
Okay, let's see exactly how much trouble I can get into with a vehicle - in three years time I've had a speeding ticket, a wreckless driving ticket, i flipped and flipped my lil' sunfire til' it was totalled, resulting in yet another wreckless driving ticket, and today my entire fender got smashed and I have silver paint streaks running down the side of my car, not to mention the fact that i no longer have a signal light....*SCREAMS* haha...but at least today's little "incident" wasn't to any fault of my own....I think smashing vehicles should be viewed as a very skillful art form, so I could at least consider myself to be a genius artist...and you know what the freakiest part of all is, i know when i'm going to wreck my car...and I know you all think I'm probably insane but before I totalled my sunfire last fall I knew that that day would bring bad luck for me...the day before I was at work in the financial aid office where we had been discussing "signs" and how we believe there are angels and other beings who try to protect us...while I was typing some address labels I was trying to type the last name Dagnew but instaead I typed the word Danger and I was like, great, maybe this is my sign that I should be more aware of myself and my surroundings and I sort of laughed it off...so I backspaced and went to type the thing again, and continued the rest of the names, when I printed off the list of labels, once again I had typed Dagnew as Danger and I was like, something really is up...the gals in the office laughed and I was like, whoa, I'd better watch myself...the next morning before I left to go home I got in my car, buckled my seatbelt and thought, Miranda, drive with precaution, remember that something was trying to tell you something yesterday...but, unheeding my warning or maybe because fate would have had me wreck that day regardless of my precautions, I ended up upside down with mountain dew all in my hair and nerds and glass flying through the air...and like I said, I may be crazy, but I know with 100% certainty that I was being forewarned and maybe that's why I made sure to put my seatbelt on that day (the very same seatbelt that saved my life)...and today, I was running late for class and as I was coming off the hill from my apartment I sort of skidded at the stop sign and I was like, Miranda, take it easy and drive carefully, it's rainy (as it was the day I wrecked) and something just didnt' feel right with me behind the wheel....and what happens? my fender gets smashed...Okay, so I guess the only point of all this is, I'm bad with vehicles (which has no way to go but up) and that I truly believe I have guardian angels watching over me, latching my seatbelt for me, and even surrounding me to protect the glass and concrete from smashing ME rather than just the car...and for those of you who have never had to crawl through the glass of your broken windshield to get out of your car (and not even get cut by the glass) BE VERY THANKFUL! and I pray that you never have to experience anything like that, that no one ever does...because it isnt' just something that happens in a day and is forgotten, everytime I get in a vehicle my stomach does a little flip flop, I cry when whoever I'm in a car with refuses to wear a seatbelt, I go into hysterics anytime Adam (about the only person I feel comfortable at all riding with) runs slightly off the road to the point that he sometimes has to pull over and calm me down...I will never again be able to drive to my parents house through that little stretch of road outside of Clintwood without having tears run down my cheeks and making double sure that I have my seatbelt on and cease breathing as I pass by the spot where my sunfire laid upside down and completely destroyed that Saturday...okay, i'm sorry this is so long but this little fender bender today has got me thinking about my accident even more than usual and I needed to let off a little steam....so, I don't mean to be morbid or to sound "preachy" but please, for your own sake, WEAR YOUR SEATBELT, they really do save lives....
