Just a week.

So much has happened in just a week... I hate to start a journal with bad news but it was the downfall of my week. I really am ashamed of myself but this last Friday I got in a car accident, it's the third accident I have been in within 2yrs. I just really thought my bad luck with cars was over but apparently not, I was driving home from work and I was in 5 o'clock traffic and it was stop go and the cars started to pick up and the guy in front of me slammed his breaks and I guess I just didnt stop fast enough because before I knew it my car skid right into the guy in front of me.  Luckly I didnt hit him going very fast so we just drove off the highway and parked in a parking lot.  Since he was in a SUV there was only a little damage to his bumper so he said if I rather just pay him he wouldnt get my insurance company involved which is a huge relief for me.  But then my car was a complete different story, the hood was smashed in couple inches and there was liquid everywhere on the ground but it still could drive so I had my hopes up that it might not be that bad.  I took it to Ellis & Salazer just down the street from the accident and prayed that is wasnt totaled.  Dreading the call, the guy finally called me up and told me it was bad news and I didnt have to hear the rest to know that it was totaled, pretty much meaning the cost to fix the car was more then the car was worth.   As he tryed to explain to me what was wrong with the car, all I could think was FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKK!  Not only have I lost my only source of transportation but I also only have Liability and I still owe 2700$ on the car.  Which means that I have to pay off a car that I no longer have so I wont be able to afford a new loan for a car until this one is payed off.  I have no idea how long I am going to have figure out rides to work until I can pay this car off.  I have brutally screwed myself over in multiple ways but what can I do, feeling like complete shit about the situation isnt going to change the reality so I tryed to make the best of my weekend.  The rest of Friday night I hung out with my friend Ashley, who I havent hung out with in a long ass time. Then Saturday night Jason, his cousins and I tripped on shrooms at my house and laughed our asses off and I rolled around in my bed for hours.  Then Sunday I went to Zilker park and had a BBQ with Lauren and friends and tripped again with Jason, Zee and Sam and went swimming and rolled around in grass and layed around thinking a billion thoughts per second.  It was more then insane but it was amazing and almost made up for the trauma of Friday but I think the real suffering it yet to come when I have to try to survive without a car.  Anyway only one week away from the big move and I am so excited, my brother is selling me his washer and dryer for really cheap and we pretty much have everything we need for the house so all we need to do is move. I cant wait. Well I am going to go finish off this joint with Jason and pass out. Peace.
