Today was a bit tragic. At work I was involved in a nasty car accident from which the vehicle I was driving was totalled and I walked away unscathed.
I thought I would draw you a picture. I grabbed a car where I marked the X. I proceeded to pull out of the space and around the other parked cars. I got hit by another car going about 40. Honestly, I got ROCKED. The SUV I was driving almost flipped over and everything. The airbags on the passenger side deployed, the floor buckled. It was intense.
The point of impact was an interesting moment. I think its time like that when you know the kind of person you are. After impact, I sort of furrowed my brow and got the car back under control. The impact was loud. Real loud. It stunned my hearing for a good minute. When I threw the car in park, I blinked and I believe mumbled "I just got pwnzor'd." Then I leapt from the vehicle to make sure the girls that hit me were ok. The driver was in hysterics, which was not surprising considering the gender. The passenger banged her knee, but everyone was ok.
The driver ended up getting fired, which I felt kinda bad about even though she almost killed me.
Mrs. Brown came running to make sure I was ok, and I was. And I was totally calm about the whole thing.
Because I am sick in the head, I walked away feeling a little invulnerable. I think because I am generally aware of my own mortality, so I wasn't really scared into being thankful for what I have. Cause I already am. That car got fucked up though guys. I'm telling you, I could very well have been killed.
Fucking women drivers. ;-)
