news happenings
sorry for those of youe that have to read this more than once, but i thought everyone would like to know.
so, yesterday, comning back from brianne's wedding, i got into an accident.
i was really tired before leaving, but i thought "hey, i've driven to the cities mostly asleep before, getting back to winona from rochester cant be that hard." well, little did i know.
i had cut from st charles through whitewater state park, and was making my way towards rollingstone from altura when it happened. (coincidence number one--aprox it was the same stretch of that road that i was in an accident on with my mom when i was three--the one that gave me the wicked scar on my forehead.) i opened my eyes after what must have been a slightly more prolonged than normal dowse off, only to find myself in the ditch. mind you, this ditch is like eight feet deep, so im already lucky my car didnt turn over going down it, not to mention that it was on the side of the road opposite my lane (not that i knew that at the time). the only thoughts in my head were to hit the brake--in a panic, though, i hit the wrong pedal.
i couldn't for the life of me figure out why i wasnt slowing down. . .until i saw a nice big driveway leering up at me. i still dont know if i actually managed to hit the break at the last minute--it doesnt really matter i suppose. anyway, i went up the side of the driveway, my airbag deployed, and i had time to realize that my car was airborne before it came down on its nose. my dad tells me i cleared seventy-five to a hundred feet of ground before i landed--i think that might be some exageration, but i dont know, ive never been good at judging such things.
anyway, now for the good news. im relatively unhurt. ive got some bruised ribs, some abrasions, and a bruised right heelbone. im on some vicadin, so that will kepp the pain away.
i also dont have a car anymore. i also cant work for prolly a week. i also cant go out and do something on monday with the wonderful erika. i also feel like a retarded asshat. and well i should, i suppose. allright, thats about it. thanks for listening.
