Damaged

Damaged. That word just makes me laugh. Now it always reminds me of that Danity Kane song. haha Oh yikes. But really, my life right now, is in fact, damaged lol I mean, It's just a rut. I'll bounce out of it. I'm not depressed by any means. More like...annoyed? I guess that's the best way to describe it. Time for some updates I guess. It's been awhile, but I guess the major incident is the ol car accident. Never a fun time. This was my first (and hopefully last) real bad car accident. Totaled my new car:(

It all started on a somewhat sunny day in Colorado. I was driving on my way to class in Boulder, CO, however, at a slower pace due to the slushy, slick roads. I was listening to some Mr. Big's-To Be With You, when out of freaking nowhere some douchebag cut me off on icy roads. To avoid hitting him I slammed on my breaks but since we were on a highway, it was a bit too fast for my car/ice combo and my car started spinning out of control in circles across the other highway's lane. The front of my car clipped (more like plowed into) the concrete median-and I had NO recollection of this. I thought ONLY the back of my car hit when i stopped. Head injury? Maybe? haha. After the front of the car hits the median, the force of the impact sends my car into more circles and finally I see the concrete barrier heading to the right side of my car. It was literally like slow motion and I just collide again with the barrier, only to stop this time. Then, to add to the fun, I was in the left lane of the highway, stopped and backwards facing traffic as people whizzed by me cause they couldn't stop. haha scary. Two really nice people stopped to help me. One was really cute now that I think about it. If you are out there and reading this...call me. haha I kid. But not really. Then the ambulance came, blocked traffic and my poor car was towed. I made it to class on time though! haha! No idea how. 

So now what to do? I don't know...my dad is a miracle worker with cars, but he was brutally honest to me and says that this car was the worst hit he's seen and he doesn't think he can fix it. ughhhhhhh! Apparently the damage was worse than I thought. The whole frame has shifted to the right by almost a whole FOOT! Guess I hit the barrier harder than I thought haha My body's reminding me of that today. Cause it feels like a train hit me. 

Luckily, Daddy was able to get me some vicodin. It's starting to set in so I'll probably pass out soon. And my lovely Ashley brought me a massage chair. Love my family and friends! 

Well, at least I had great company last night at the show. It was SO great to see everyone. Literally like a reunion. And met a fun homeless man afterwards. I'll post pictures tomorrow. haha

Until then, I'm going to pass out. Goodnight everyone! Enjoy having a car. I realize now what a luxury it is. haha And if you know anyone who is hiring...I need a job ASAP. <3
