Since it's such a slow day at work, and everyone's mind is fixed on Thanksgiving dinner I may as well just post this and let it all hang out in here.

On Thursday night, while most of you may have been watching Friends, I was in a mini-accident. It was a fender-bender that got the guy in front of me stopping so hard, I had to stop hard and this richocheted continously until the third guy, the culprit of this action rammed into the car behind me causing her to ram into me.

It bent my bumper out of shape a bit and gave it a lot of cuts and bruises. But it had us parked in the middle of the highway while other cars sped past us for about 15 minutes until the cops came. I was shaking. I had to dial 911, the very first time I dialled 911, and the very first time a cop asked me for my driver's licence and registration. It was one of the firsts that I hope is really the last. All through the ordeal I kept saying, "something good is coming, something good is coming, I am sure of it, there is no other explanation for this, nothing else can explain why I am in this right now, so undetermined, so pointless." I never thunk it in a million days. I remember thinking, this isn't the end of the world, Ke's been in one a many fender benders, and he pulled through, so hang in there. My mind was just going haywire while my hands continually shook.

Everything is fine now. I had to submit my car for repairs with his insurance company and they in turn issued me a rental. The rental is a new car like mine but its still a rental--I want my car. The cigarette smoke fumes in this car had me choking all the way to work, I felt like Sandra Bullock in Speed, saying: I love my car, I miss my car. And I don't get to see my car until tomorrow!

I am just in a funk now. My 4 month old "baby" is in the shop and I can't concentrate at work. I feel as if I shouldn't care too much but when events (semi-disasters) like these happen it makes you care and you start to think, Ouch! My car does smell better than this one, it does move faster, I feel safer driving my car than I do this one. Where is my car again?

It's petty bullshit, I know.
