It's depressing how many people have really, honestly, just completely lost faith in love. [Link]
You will never convince me that men like the ones in romantic movies don't exist. Unless I magically wake up one day to find out I've been dreaming for the past 21/2 years... I will never believe that. Because I've found my leading man. And he really is amazing.

You know guys. I want to be a doctor. Like I really do. Maybe not even a doctor. But something medical. I just want to help people. Save people. More than anything.
But I'm not sure if I can. This is kicking my ass right now. I'm sitting in the library, beating myself to do a paper I should have started on two weeks ago. I suck at studying. I suck even more at time management.
Highschool was a poor preparation for college. I graduated in the top ten of my class, and now I'm barely (if at all) passing.
And I guess I'm just really pissed at myself right now. More like I have been since classes started. I feel like if I could just catch a break and get my footing back... But I shouldn't be making excuses. I am thoroughly fed up with myself.

Sooo. Up in the T-Town. It's been awesome. I really do love it up here. Everything's so green. And like it's so BIG up here, you know? There's totally more than one mall! xD It's crazy. I love it.
I'm in Honors Biology, Anthropology, Japanese, and Math for Morons. All of them seem fine so far except math. Besides, you know, being math, the teacher acts like we're, well, morons. The syllabus is five pages long and doesn't make a lick of sense. Goodness. Like I need a translator please. I haven't really even been to my Anthropology class though. I kind of showed up wayyy late for the first class. The professor seems really nice though. I have that class again tomorrow at 9. Like I need to get to fucking bed.
I've started recruitment for a sorority called Alpha Phi. They're new here at BAMA so they're having their own rush now instead of before school started with the rest of the sororities. I don't know. As far as philanthropy, the only group that even competes with Alpha Phi (heart disease) is Zeta Tau Alpha (breast cancer). I don't know. Alpha Phi just seems like a great group. But then I'm not looking to join a sorority this year, if at all. I just want to settle into college. But since they're a starting colony, it would be so cool to be one of the founding members here at Alabama. It's like making history. But I'm having a hard time deciding if that's the only reason I'm going through this now, and how important that reason even is.
Of course I'm not sorority material at all. But it gave me a fun excuse to buy a couple new hot dresses. But when Chris promised to take me out to dinner in one of them... Well that's definitely much more fun!
He came down this weekend from Huntsville. We had to sneak him into our dorm, but it all worked out great! He got here and we had mad hug time. The power was out from 11 am that day until 3 am though. Like for real. Somebody at Tutweiler blew a fuse and started an electrical fire - that's what our RA heard - and the entire southside of campus was out all day. Oh and so were a lot of the businesses near us. It was crazy.
Aww that part's always so sad. "Hey. Don't I know you mister?"
Anyway. So me and Chris went on a long walk around Campus on the way to get stuff to eat. xD Our taste in food is so different. He gets this giant meaty sandwich and says it needs more meat. I got a cinnamon roll and nibbled on his fries. But I mostly just made a meal of my three drinks I just got xD We were going to the rec center after that, but they were closed, so we just snuck back into the dorm and went to sleep ^-^
Did some sweet shopping yesterday. Got a lot of amazing stuff. Spent way too much money. You know. That's where the little bit up there about dresses comes in. Supposed to be shopping for recruitment. Pssht. Whatever.
Today Chris was like Mr Fix-it. Just played man around the house for a while. Then we went to Lakeside to eat. Kind of had to rush to take him to his car because I had my Alpha Phi party to get ready for and I just got SOAKED in a sudden downpour! Got impatient and kind of snappy with him, and with Mary Ana who I eventually had to call down to take him back to his car since I was lost.
The party was lame. Just awkward mingling and then a cute/funny video about "The Fabulous Life of an Alpha Phi." Kind of turned me off more than anything. I told Chris I hope they don't call me back just so they'll make the decision for me. I won't lie, the inevitable rejection is going to hurt my feelings... But only the personal rejection. Not being in Alpha Phi is honestly not going to bother me that much. I'm not about to wrap my hopes and dreams around a sorority like how some girls do.
Me Mary Ana and Ashleigh went to go work out after MAC got back from her party. They all had different times... We ran for like an hour. Well, I only ran for half an hour and then I called Chris xD Then Ashleigh walked home (!) and me and Mary Ana did some squats and various other things. They have the squat machines here and I don't really like it. I suppose there are pros and cons to it, but it's not what I'm used to, plus it just feels like pussing out. It's really just not as hard. But then it seems like more muscle isolation or whatever. Blah blah blah.
Whenever me and Mary Ana walked into the weight training section of the gym - which is weird because it's like so clearly segregated. Men downstairs in weight training, women upstairs in cardio - I heard some go say "Oh, here come the lesbians." I thought it was kind of funny, but Mary Ana was like about to fight somebody xD
Well... Anyway. The movie just eneded and I am abruptly out of things to say. Plus it's 2am and I have class at 9 xD Yay me! Working out at 10pm is never a good idea. I still have a friggin adrenaline rush.
Ahhh. I miss my Chris already. I can't wait to go up and see him this weekend! I won't lie, most of the excitement right now is in just seeing his dorm, Huntsville, UAH, meeting his roomies... But only because he just left. By Friday, all I'll be able to think about again is jumping out of the car and hugging him *^-^*

If you didn't know, I recently got my wisdom teeth taken out. You know. Two weeks ago. Still a little tender. I felt like a freak until Misty told me she was still sore for weeks. And yes, I swelled up like a chipmunk.
Chris and his mom came with us down to the beach for the 4th. It was nice ^-^ Only I'm so tired of the lame-ass "patriotic" songs that everybody keeps blasting. It's just mind-numbing.
And on that note:
Anyone who honestly believes we live in a free nation is simply uneducated.
Pick up a newspaper please.
*sigh*
I'm getting increasingly impatient with myself.
Everything is just happening.
And I need to settle down.

A lot on my mind lately.
Hmm...
~♡~
Me and Mom went to Miss Vicki's wake today. Open casket. Eerie. Especially after all the chemo.
I hope turnout for my wake is just as good... We stood in line for about 45 minutes before we got up to the casket. I would have passed on the viewing if the family hadn't been gathered around it. James held me for a really long time. I haven't seen him in so long. All his hair has turned gray... Like a light gray... And he's wearing glasses. Ryan I haven't seen in even longer. I didn't even recognize him! He's about as tall as me. Certainly not a toddler anymore ^-^ Ashley was crying a lot - understandably! I talked to her and Lisa for a bit. ...I wonder where Kevin was?
*sigh* It's just weird.
Funerals are almost like reunions, only you can't act like you're too happy to see somebody. Like I saw Sarah Dunn and Janet Benton. Sarah is omg so pretty. And well... I'm just seeing Miss Janet in a different light I guess. Not in a bad light though. Just. A different one.
You know if I could be half as strong as Miss Vicki... I mean it's just amazing how far she fought it.
And James Flowers is still the perfect man.

We graduated last night.
I thought I'd be okay, but I cried like a bitch. Our song played, then Shawn Hall started tearing up, then I saw Coach Nall, then Chris hugged me to death, and then Patti was just sobbing. Ahhh I couldn't do it. I'm so happy though ^-^
Friggin Devin Smith was like "Don't cry, everybody's getting shitty after this!"
Wow. XD And that's what will stick in my head forever about last night...
Instead of getting shitty... Me and Chris went to O'Charlie's with our family ^-^
I could say a lot more. You know, babble about how long graduation practice took and how freaking early, or how much fun me and Chris had with his aunt and uncle jet skiing and how COLD it was, or how my man won two awards at art in the park last weekend, or how I had a scholarship interview today that I bombed... But instead I'm going to go clean and get some things done that I've been postponing ^-^
Love you! *sniffle*

Friday was Prom... Yay ^^
(First update in years right? But 心配ない ^-^)
Me and Audra went to the Silhouette to get our hair and nails did :P Then we came home and were white trash with our fried chicken. Mmmm ♡ (Even better than sex, Axel.) Chris and Jamie came over, then me and Chris got dressed and boy did we look lovely ^-^ Audra and Jamie went to Audra's to get ready then me and Chris went to Megan's!
People were gawking at us on the way over there XD
We hung out at Megan's for a while and took pictures and such ^^ Then our limo got there and we went outside and loaded up! We grooved out the whole way over there, then we got to Stix and hooked up with the rest of our crew! There were too many of us for a table, so Cameron Robinson, Kara, Cody Broughton, Mary Ana, Shireen, and BCherry ate at a different table. Maybe Kris and Sami did too... I don't remember looking at them during dinner ^^; I got the sukiyaki steak, which was a risk considering I have very iffy feelings on teriyaki. But it was very good! ^-^
Katie Patterson had to basically stand there and disrobe me for me to go to the bathroom XD My dress wouldn't pull up because of how tight it was on my thighs/butt. I guess that's a good thing?
Prom was beautiful. Of course. I helped decorate it for about six hours the night before XD (I heard that after we left Friday, some guy tried to climb up the staircase we made and broke it. If I was still there, I would have literally kicked his ass.)
Lalala prom doo bee doo... Hung out with some decently cool peeps, had gads of pictures taken - tons of people kept coming up and being like "Omg! *click*" ^^; The attention whore in me loved walking out during senior call-outs. Everybody was like "Ah omg Julie let me take yo pitcha!" XD I'm a loser, but I just loved being able to dress up pretty and be lovey wif mah man.
I noticed they played Soulja Boy even though the county outlawed that song...
Rebel!
We went back to Megan's around half an hour before it was over, so like midnight - minus Kris and Sami who took their jager and left before they got caught. We just sat around and talked for a while, boys getting naked in the middle of the living room and such. Then me and Chris and James went back to my house to get changed and we went up to Waffle House to meet everybody else. Only we didn't see them. So we went and got gas. Then we met them there for real. I ate half of Andrew's waffle. Everybody was like "Let's just go to McDonald's, there's a half hour wait!" So me, Chris, James, and Patrick Herring partied over to McDonald's, then found out everybody was staying at Waffle House... Our group is so disorganized XD We ate, then I was just too effing tired so me and Chris went back to Audra's house while everybody else went to the beach. I wish we would have gone! Mary Ana said they were all sitting around and they saw this couple sitting there in the candlelight and they were like "Aww omg he's proposing!" Then a minute later Megan was like "...Jessi?!" And Jonathan was all "Megan?!" Aww yay ♡
But. I was exhausted. I mean it was 4 am and everything. So me and Chris crashed on Audra's couch until she kicked him out around 8ish. Then I was still asleep at 11... Only her mom moved me to her bed... When Chris came to pick me up and take me home before he went to work. Only a truck ran over the water pipe at his house so he had to come early to take a shower at my house. I had work later that day at Pacsun. And Gap... Like wtf I said I couldn't work at Gap that day? So. I worked at Pacsun. And I must be the only person who remembers Ashley Calcagni. I remember her being practically infamous. But. She works with me at Pacsun. And is a cutie.
I ended up having to work last night too. And for some reason I came home feeling like total shit. So I didn't go to school today. I missed the test on 1984, which is kind of a mixed blessing. But I meant to get up and go to the elementary school during 3rd block to tutor, but I woke up too late. I really felt bad. I don't know what was wrong with me. Like I feel better now, but I was just miserable.
Mom is taking me and Mary Ana up to UA on Friday for one of their university days.
Yes. That is all.

Wow. I really meant to go to sleep tonight. Actually, I'm exhausted. But I have a man complex about some things. If I'm working on something, I do not sleep until it's finished. And after a wild night of Bill Gates fucking me up the ass, I said "Fuck you too" and downloaded Firefox. Take that. And then after 60 million phone calls to my personal tech geek (Smee) I finally figured out how to get MSN Messenger to get along with my Firefox browser ^-^ I R PROUD. XB
I don't know what the deal was. Vista sucks. Don't get it. I miss my XP.
Haha. XP
Um. This song makes me orgasm. Do me?
On Friday we had a wonderful love-wad day! Chris came over to my house and we gave each other our Christmas presents. I greatly love the little hat he gave me ^-^ We had a little snuggle time, then cleaned up, did the dishes (XD), and went to Audra's. Jamie had to stay with the boys for a little while, so the three of us stayed at her house for a while. We put together this cute penguin... Meaning they put it together and I was largely unhelpful ^^; Then we went back to my house for a little bit because we forgot... something. And then Jamie called Chris after calling me and Audra a million times (our phones were in the car) and we went to his house until... we could leave. Then. We left. >-> *cough* We went to Cosmo's to eat and, uh, good lord. I really love their alfredo. Like. Fo' real.
Ahh I need to get some longer headphones. I feel like a horse, you know, whenever they're tied to something and they try to move their heads and they can't so they just throw their head back and flail with their eyes all big and crazy. Neeeed longer headphones >->
So Cosmo's was awesome! Then we went to the Wharf and ran around until the rink opened and then we went ice-skating! ♡ It was fun. I'd never been before, so I was really bad and I kept almost falling and having seizures trying to stay up, but Chris always caught me ^-^ Well... Except the last time when I just straight fell on my ass. And I don't know what happened. But he came down next to me and slid me into this giant puddle XD It was crazy. Oh and some little girl. Like wtf? X3 She was like "Will you skate with me?" And I'm like "Sure ^^" Then she takes my hand and we go an inch or two - and I mean this girl is like two feet tall - and she just freaking wastes me. Like she just takes off and is dragging me behind her! It was in-freaking-sane! XD Then we went on the big ferris wheel and that was cute and nice and all that... ^^ Then we went to Starbucks! Woo! After that, we raced around Walmart then dropped Audra off, went back to Jamie's to get Chris's car, and Chris took me home. Well we drove around a while until Mom called like "Wtf?" then Chris took me home!
Chris and his mommy came over today for a little bit to give us amazing chocolate cheesecake and other stuff and to just visit a little... It's so sweet. She gave me this little book and the first page is a picture of me making hamburger patties at their house and it's got a bunch of recipes in it, then the last page is a picture of me and Chris attempting to smooch but with gigantic pillows stuffed in our shirts ^^ It was very nice. You know, I gots ta know how to make food for mah man just like his mama! XD
After they left we went to the Foley Park to look at the little houses and the trees and other decorations. Ah! On the way there the radio was on kind of quietly and it sounded verrry vaguely familiar, so I asked what it was, and they didn't know but they turned it up and it was freaking... That "Word Up" song that Korn does. Only. Not Korn. And I was like "Ooh. That song really sucks?" Haha XD
Then we came home and Mom made chili and it was reallly good. Then we opened presents. Jeff is so cute. He just mauls me. "Open this first!!!" He won some cute little bear (that looks like a wombat) at school for me ^^ I fell asleep with him right after everybody settled down ^^;; I don't know why I was so tired... But anyway. Then Mom put out the Santa presents after Jeff went to bed and I supposedly did too. You guys are all gonna think I'm a super loser, but... I really think it's awesome and I really wanted one... Mommy Santa got me an elliptical thing XD
Oh and there's this book she got me that's got a bunch of like... funny stories and tips about your first year of college and everything in there. And there was one chapter that was just this girl like "I don't care if you've got a man! Dump him! Don't take that bitch to college with you! I'm a whore ^-^v" I mean that wasn't Mom hinting anything... There were things about keeping your man too, but I just thought that little bit was so awful and so funny.
Speaking of books, while waiting for my computer to stop screwing me, I read a whole book XD
I love you guys ^-^ Merry Christmas!

It's only been about a month since I updated. Come on, that's not so bad!
My computer is completely dead. It has been for... About a month ^^; I haven't gotten a new one yet and I don't know why but nagging with get hellfire sent upon me. Bah.
Of course for those of you who don't know, Chris is a retard and he flipped his car a couple weeks ago and completely totalled it.
So yes.
Saturday was mine and Chris's second 5-monthaversary. (Every time my posts are dominated by Chris, I always hear Audra's face smashing the keyboard.) We had volunteered to go do stuff at the Oyster Run but it was pathetically disorganized and confused and there was nothing for us to do so we just left o-O Mom was being a ho and for no real reason just said I couldn't hang out with him that day and that she wanted him to go straight home. Her original reason was that my room was messy but then I cleaned it and it turned into "you just need to get some rest." I woke up at 7 in the morning on a Saturday. What about that is restful? It's not like I'm going back to sleep or anything. But we'd already planned to spend the day together. We both put in off work and we haven't hung out in a long time and he's going to be gone for the next two weekends. Not to mention it's a pretty important day. The last month's been pretty hard... Anyway. We ditched the Oyster Run and went car shopping and prom dress shopping and bought some food from the shrimp basket and brought it home. By this point it was about 1. Mom said Chris could stay till 4. Sorry, still not good enough. So I was like "I'm not staying home and doing nothing, can I call into work?" And she said that was fine. (See? She has no reason, she just doesn't want me to see him.) So we hung out for a while then Chris and Jeff went outside to play and I did laundry then came out and watched them play around. Then Chris left and I cleaned up a little. Brian asked if I wanted Subway or Firehouse and I was like "I'm going to work." Then Mom got all mad. Like wtf. "Oh so you called and got some hours huh?!" "You said it was okay?" "Yeah. I did. *pissedoffpissedoff*" Then I hear her telling Brian how her life sucks because she has to put up with me. And he was telling her something about how me and Jeff just walk all over her because even though she sets clear rules and boundaries she never enforces the punishments and we know we can get away with it. Pffffft. Like 90% of the time I have no idea what she ever wants out of me because I'm just supposed to pick up on these "hints" or something and in my entire life I only remember two times that my punishment has been even slightly clear or justified. (Here meaning that it was preceded with a warning or her telling me to do something or that was related to any rule already set in place.) We seriously don't have rules around here. None that don't exist solely in my mom's head anyway. But it's easy to win a game when you make up every rule as you go, isn't it? Just say what suits you. *sigh* So. I went to work. Had a really great time at work. I love work. >-> Yeah. We went to Arby's and got some curly fries and their new cheesecake bites which were really pretty good. Then there was this hippy store across the street (we were in Gulf Shores) and we went in it to explore for a minute. I hate really strong incense... Then we went to the kids park to eat and there were a bunch of weirdo skater kids hanging around. I mean it was like they were all skating together, and then they all just split apart and sit on separate corners of the park like they're super emo. "I don't look as scene if I don't sit on this slide and cut myself!" Sooo... They we went to the movies and saw American Gangster. It was alright... Then we hugged a vomit-worthy amount and I went home ^-^
Yesterday was our Peer Helpers thing at Camp Beckwith. Not much to say about that... Went to see Chris on his lunch break and shopped at AE after that ^^; Chris called me while I was in line to check out and I went by Old Navy to spend the last bit of his break with him. Then I went home. Today I just laid around all day. Actually, I did a couple loads of laundry and ironed some things. Then I laid around all day ^-^ Chris bought a car today though. I'm anxious to see it... He's ASSAULTING me right now and I hate him.
Augh. I'm leaving.

What's going on lately? Hmm... Oh yeah, nothing.
Saturday, me and Chris went shopping then to Cici's (haven't been there in sooo long!) and went to see Mr. Woodcock. It was hilarious fo realsies. The best part was when he went to see his dad at the nursing home and it was something like... "You have a dad?!" "Of course I have a dad Farley. I'm not Jesus." That killed me. I probably humiliated Chris by being the most obnoxiously amused person in the theater... But it was great ^^ After that we went to Planet Smoothie next door. We'd never been before but they sent me a "Come see us!" thing in the mail, so I noticed them today and we went and omfg it was so good. We got the Java Nut which was just like a Reeses but with coffee. *brief orgasm*
Sunday, I painted the Homecoming window for Student Council. It was pretty fun. Especially when Mary Ana backed her car up to the window so we could sit on top and reach the high bits... lol. Some old ladies came by to bitch at us. They were like (*imitates bitchy old lady voice*) "Well! I sure hope that man who owns the place knows you're doing this to his window!" ...-_-; The window looks reallly good though. Oh and... Caroline, Chris, and Megan are amazing people... ("You need a costume?! They have it at this place..." "I called and put it on hold for you and I'll take you after work..." "We can take it in for you if it's too big just come by tonight...") Gosh. I was like... "You guys are the best. Like if Chris was here... We should all have sex." XD
We were the cutest couple ever today ^-^ I was thrilled when we found my Tinkerbell costume, and Chris was the most adorable Peter Pan ever! We got our picture taken like a million times.
And then I broke his camera x-X
He absolutely makes me melt into this big goopy puddle. I told him I'd dropped it and the lens was messed up and he didn't get mad at me or anything and he was really sweet about it. (I almost wanted to go cut myself: "Honey, a piece of pastic isn't ever worth you crying about.") Then after dance practice I went to see him for a few minutes before he went to work. And I've been feeling a little overwhelmed lately... And he just let me make this awful crying mess all over the only shirt he had to wear to work. Does it like... Make you feel bad when someone's that sweet?
Blahhh. ^-^ Tomorrow will be pretty great! It's Decade Day, but we're boring losers, so we're just being hippies - like EVERYBODY else. But Chris has a fro XD I'm just excited that we get to spend time together before and after school ^-^

Saturday was Chris's 18th birthday! What an old man! ^-^
He picked me up and then we went back to his house where his mommy gave us omelet! Then we left for Milton and we pretty much slept the way over there, just hanging over into the space between our seats XD It was his cousin Josh's 5th birthday party and we stayed for the last half of his bowling league. That kid is so friggin good and you can tell he's just crazy about it. We all just hung out for a while, and as always, watching Chris play with Josh makes my biological clock start ticking. ("HAVE A BABY NOW.") Then we like... suited up (lol) and did the bowling thing. >-> I bowled a 39. Woo.
Gosh I suck so much.
Then we had pizza/hot dogs and cake and presents. Then Josh was messing around with his light-saber and he was like attacking Chris and getting all excited and Chris was (failing at) dodging and getting his legs chopped off and such. Josh is reallly cute. Like seriously. He's just adorable. (*ticktockticktock*)
I really love hanging out with Chris's family. It just makes me feel legitimate. Like "Yeeeaahh I was here last year too bitch! Uhn! *gangster arm*" Plus I just genuinely like most of them ^-^
We drove home, and I don't remember if I fell asleep on the way back or not... We were both really tired though. We stopped and bought him a lotto ticket... (because he's 18 now) 05 06 10 16 21 36. I told his to pick 18... But he didn't. And if he did he would have won something ^^ You know, like $5 XD
When we got back to his house, we flopped over and waited for his dead to get showered and dressed because he'd been doing man work all day. Then we went to the track and rode the go-carts and did the sky coaster and won some tickets in the arcade for Jeff. Of course that was all really fun and of course there are like 10 million pictures his mom and dad took from that XD I like it though. It's nice having pictures of us ^-^ (I just wish I actually had them you know? Instead of just knowing they exist.) Anyway, I don't really know what to say about any of that, except that it was great and we had a lot of fun ^^
Then we went back to his house and messed around for a little bit. He opened his presents and we all sat around for a while, talking and snacking. Then his granny went home and we got some dinner and migrated to the couch. I was hungry but like... Omg I was so tired it was almost impossible to just chew. So we ate some then curled up with our heads on each other's legs and fell asleep XD We woke up a bit later and had some supa good cake. Then we sat there dead for a little bit and he took me home. Aaaand I fucking love him ^-^ Just thought I'd add that.
So that'd the condensed version. *nod* I have a LOT of stuff coming up, and I feel like I have more to say, but I'm finally getting tired again. I slept almost all day. I dunno. I was freaking exhausted.
(Today was our second 3-monthaversary. ♡)

There's a fine line between looking out for someone and being a rabid evangelist.
Ugh.
&&I am tired of the self-sacrifice.
(What do YOU think?)
...
But that's beside the point.
Hi, how are you?

Okay, you all know what happened by now, so that just makes this story time.
Today was my mom's birthday and this weekend I was out shopping for her. Jeff and I got dressed and drove up to Old Navy at 1:00 and went to Wendy's with Chris - after going through KFC to get my picky brother his food. Jeff just recently let on that he's got an awful toothache, which turns out to be an abscess tooth (he's getting a root canal Monday). So he takes one nibble of his snacker and just about dies and falls over on the table. He agonizes for a while and I told him he didn't have to come with me shopping and that I could take him home. He was upset about that, but he was really in pain, so he said yes. We got in the car and rushed him home, then I quickly tended to him and told Mom I'd brought him home and was going back out, then I jumped back in Chris's car and we hurried back to Old Navy. He went back in to work and I went over to Kirkland's to see if they had any nice little things like my mom always likes. Ugh. Everything was so big and tacky. Normally they have some nice stuff there, but it was all just ugly. I walked around the mall a little to see if anywhere looked like it was worth going in, but nothing looked at all promising, so I got back in the car and decided to go to Gulf Shores. I went the back way behind Office Depot and then I was coming up to a stop sign debating which way I needed to turn to get to 65. I didn't know, but the left was prettier, so I decided on that. I stopped and looked. You know the deal. There was some huge overgrowth on one side of me, but I could see well enough through it to know nothing was going to hit me or anything.
Unless it was flying.
I saw this little white neon kicking it towards me from something like 100 or 150 feet away. By the time the nose of my car got from the white line at the intersection to the yellow line in the middle of the road, going a grand 5 mph, he was on top of me. Some panicked (stupid) part in me was just... "Get to the other side of the road!!!" Luckily I had no time to listen. From the time I first saw him I had the time to think "This doesn't have to happen, he can avoid this!" And then he hit me. I saw a white blur a few inches in front of me and then my head smashed into the window and I sort of bounced back off. I swear the guy could have avoided it. He. Did. Not. Brake. He didn't. And instead of swerving to the right, where he could have easily avoided me, he swerved to the left and hit clean into me. Dumbass wtf. It's like he just thought he was gonna GO AROUND ME. I mean shit. I know it was my fault, but he could've been smart about it.
So I'm basically seeing stars here from that lovely head bump. I roll out of my passenger door so I don't knock their car with my door. I saw their car then, and it was crushed all the way up to the newly broken windshield. Totaled. Honestly? It was bad of me... But my first thought was "Oh gosh, we have to pay for that." Then I ran over to that car's passenger door where some fat white trash lady was struggling to get out from behind her airbag. I asked if she was alright and if she needed help and she screamed at me and her husband ran around and hauled her ass up. So... I didn't feel the need to deal with these people... And I walked back to my passenger side and get my insurance and such out of the glovebox. I noticed my Frostie had spilled all over the floor and my iPod landed right in it. I picked it up, cleaned it a bit, then stuck it in my purse and threw the purse over my shoulder. A Mexican family living nearby came out to see if we were okay and we were so they left XD I called Mom's cell phone twice and she didn't answer so I called the house phone. I knew Mom and Jeff were both probably asleep so I was freaking a little. I bet my message would be funny to listen to. "ANSWER THE PHONE I AM NOT FREAKING KIDDING." Jeff answered and brought me to Mom and I told her what happened and where I was and she rushed out to come to me. (She can be kinda awesome sometimes ^-^)
So then I'm just sitting on the hood of my car, and by this point a couple cars had stopped to chat with us and a couple men in big trucks stopped to direct traffic around us. See? People are generally pretty great. Except the guy who hit me. Jerk. He's not a jerk because he hit me... He was just being a real ass. Like, I understand this isn't the best of situations, but your character isn't exactly shining through right now, you know? Anyway. There I am on my hood and I look over my car for the first time. There's a dent on the side from where my front bumper ended (I know this because it was jutting out) to an inch or two into my driver's door and my front left tire is at a 45 degree angle. I looked into my car and noticed my little blue rosary had gotten whipped around my rearview mirror, then I looked over at their crumpled heap of a car and I had my little breakdown. I fought it hard though. But honestly, I wasn't upset. Maybe a little but that wasn't on my mind so much as how incredibly grateful I was. My car has a dent and a popped tire. Theirs was destroyed. When he got there, the cop told me that from what we'd both said, he figured the man was going about 80. A car hit into my driver's side at 80 mph and I have a dent. Looking down at that door... Six more inches and I would be dead. Six more inches to the other side of that road and I wouldn't have been sitting there, and I'd never been so grateful to be outside in 100 degree weather pouring sweat.
This guy had stopped to check on everyone and he saw I was crying and walked over. Gosh. He didn't look like he'd be such a sweet, sensitive guy. In a basketball jersey and covered in tattoos. He came over and was very nice and tried to comfort me - which would have been great were I upset. He kept saying stuff like "It's okay. Everyone makes mistakes. It could have been a lot worse, right?" And that just had me going worse XD But I didn't want to just be like "I'm okay! I'm just crying because I'm really happy!" lol XDD How weird is that? Then I saw Brian's truck (I didn't even think he was home) and I gave the man a little friendly arm brush and thanked him then ran over to his truck and Mom ran over to hug me and such. We saw the lady who was in the passenger seat get in some red car and ride away. She was rummaging in the car earlier, like what's she hiding, right? Despite it being, you know, illegal... I was glad to see her go. I was tired of hearing "EVERYBODY RUN THE CARS IS GONNA EXPLODE!!!" Omfg. *headdesk* Your airbags went off. That's all you're smelling. Chemicals in the airbag. Christ.
The trooper finally got there. They had to send a state trooper because Foley cops suck and are pulling back their jurisdiction. Krauss. His name. He didn't look very nice, but besides being very official, he was actually a really nice guy. We sat in his car and talked. Jesus I looked like an idiot.
Him: "How fast were you going?"
Me: "Mmm. Maybe like 20?"
Him: "*long blank stare* Did you stop at the sign?"
Me: "Of course!"
Him: "There is no way you were going 20!"
Me: "I dunno, between 20 and 40 I guess. No higher than that though."
Him: "..."
Me: "I don't know how fast you go when you turn!!"
Him: "...I'll just put your speed down as 5."
Then, oh great happy day, we found out that neither me or my mother had up to date copies of our insurance cards. They expired about two weeks before. Very nice man though. He looked at my card and believed us that we were still insured. Legally, he was supposed to write me a ticket.
He wrote the other man a ticket because he didn't even have insurance. Plus he had a defaced driver's license. The trooper showed it to me and it looked like it got wet and the ink ran. But the picture on it looked like some pathetic drawing by a two year old with the airbrush tool on MS Paint. It was bad. His passenger, by the way, came back after a while. Pfft.
After that I had to watch them tow my car away... It hurt. It really did. Krauss chatted with Brian about trucks for a bit, with a Southern accent he seemed to whip out of his pocket XD I guess sounding redneck doesn't benefit a state trooper ^^
We went to the place they towed my car to... It's called "Superior" something. Probably "Superior Auto." *shrug* We got my stuff out, and I found out that my driver's side door doesn't even open anymore. Brian lifted my hood and we saw that my battery had split completely in half and he says he thinks it's done some bad damage on my transmission. So he starts worrying me talking about how it's probably going to cost more to fix it than what we bought the car for if it's even fixable at all, they'll probably just total it. Gosh. It's a bit exaggerated, but I honestly feel like... You know, that car just took a fucking bullet for me, and there's nothing the doctors can do. Like... I don't know. I could have been really hurt. It was just... right there. That's really trippy for me. And. I just love that car. It's a good car. Not only can it jump ditches at Powderpuff practice! It can win out in a car fight! XD I've been really stressing about whether I'd get my car back or not. Mom said she'd buy me a new (better) car, but I honestly don't want a "better" car. I want my car *pout*
Brian took me shopping later that day. He offered to just let me have his truck, which I thought was funny after I just wrecked my car ^^ Chris took me again a couple days later, so I am satisfied with my presents at least ^-^
The guy at the shop called Mom today and told her the car was in pretty good shape and our insurance company had given him the check so he would start working on it immediately, but that it would take a week or two. He told her he'd seen a bunch of cars just like mine, and they all held up really well in crashes like that. Ha. No shit ^-^
I'm so glad we took Jeff home.

I've got a ton to tell you about today... Which will all be in my next post. Right now, I have some things on my mind. Stuff's been bothering me a bit lately.
•It's not okay to hate.
•And to hate in the name of God is the lowest you can sink.
•Sometimes it hurts to love someone; do it anyway.
•You should never betray your word.
•Or let your words betray you; always be sincere.
•Nothing is perfect, but that doesn't mean you have to look for the flaws in everything.
•No. God does not hate you. Stop it okay?
•Everybody has a different way of thinking and doing things, and there's no reason to criticize them for not being just like you.
•Just because someone hurts you doesn't make it right to retaliate.
•Always give freely.
•Don't ever lose your trust.
•It's better to err on the side of being a pushover than being a steamroller.
•Mercy is a good thing. Always forgive.
•"God damnit" is not an okay phrase. It's really not.
•Bragging makes people think less of you. Kind of opposite of your intention, huh?
•Don't criticize people for trying to help and look out for you.
•And it's always worth going out of your way to help someone.
•Back in the day, laziness used to be a cardinal sin... It still is. People just don't care anymore.
•So is vanity.
•And rage. Cool it. Nothing is worth losing your head over. Especially when so much anger is in reaction to kindness.
