• Bye Bye Car? D:

  

  So uh.. Yeah, guess whose car that is.  D:  Just recently posted about how I’d bought a new car, and I was waiting for the weather to get better so I could wash it up and get a nice clean pic of it.. Didn’t even get to do that, and now this.  x_x  My poor car!  T_T 

  

  Im not entirely sure on if there’s any laws or rules about posting stuff like this.. I don’t think there are, but if there actually is, I hope I don’t get in trouble.  >_>  Anyway, if anyone was wondering, yes, I’m pretty much fine.  My neck is stiff, my left arm/shoulder/hand got kinda beat up and is hard to move, got quite a few cuts and bruises and I’ll be sore for a while, but other than that, I got out of it pretty well uninjured.   Thankfully, the accident wasn’t my fault, though I’ve still yet to go thru the crappy insurance investigating stuff, I’m not sure how hard/easy it is, I’ve heard both variations, some saying they’re really hardcore about trying to get an equal fault regardless of what “actually” happened, and others saying that it’s really fair and they’re good about it… So I’m a bit nervous, but my dad said he’d go with me to the meeting thingy, and while he can’t really have much say since he wasn’t there, at least I’ll have moral support.  Probably more than that, since my dad is SERIOUSLY hard to argue with, and he won’t give in to anything, especially when things are unfair or wrong.  So if they even try to pin blame on me I’m pretty sure he’ll have something to say..  XP

  

  That’s how it looks on the inside, the airbags went off, thankfully, otherwise i’d have a pretty hefty bruise on my forehead, a really really big headache, and might have even been knocked out.  Airbags are viscous on the arms though, I’m pretty sure that’s where most of the damage to my left arm and hand came from.  They also smelled like burning, which scared me a bit since, well i was already freaked out from hitting another vehicle… God that was scary as hell.  Then I smell this burning scent, and I’m a bit concerned that my car might be on fire… Luckily not though, it was just airbag smell and dust. 

  So I’m driving along heading west, doing about 60, coming up on a flashing yellow.  Just as I was coming up to the intersection, a car coming off the street on my right, which has a flashing red, pulls RIGHT out in front of me.. Of course the first reaction is OMGOMGOMGBRAKES, but since the streets were wet from the rain, and i was pretty much RIGHT there, it didn’t help much.  I dunno exactly what was going thru my mind at the time, Im pretty sure it was mostly things like “ogodplzmiss”  and “not my new car D: “  also probably “plz i dont need an accident right nao” but it all happened so fast it was quite a blur.  Next thing I know it was like CRUNCH and BANG and I’m smacked in the face with an airbag.  First thing was like, ok get out of car… Door was pretty stuck but I got it open, and stood there for a sec getting my bearings, then headed over to the other driver’s door to see if she was ok, got her door open and she was pretty stunned, saying something about how she didn’t see me cuz I didn’t have any lights on… But i quite definitely did, since my car automatically has lights turn on as soon as it’s running, plus I remember precisely when I turned them on when I was still in my mum’s driveway.. >_>

  Anyway yeah, ambulance just happened to be driving by at the time, I remember seeing them, and was like.. Wow that was fast.. lol.  I guess all the shock and realization hit me all at once as soon as the paramedic guy led me into the back of it, cuz i started crying and stuff.  Not so fun.  Got led from one emergency vehicle to the next before being hauled off with some of the shit from my car (my shoulder bag, backpack with PS3 in it, which thankfully wasn’t damaged, and my laundry which was what i’d just done at my mum’s.. Funnily enough I totally forgot my car keys and house keys in the car like a doink.)

  I tried calling my mum right away, called my bf when I couldn’t get ahold of her, then another funny thing, texted my coworker to tell her I might not make it into work the next day.. lol.. I have interesting priorities.  ;P  The hospital was a bit boring, they just kinda poked me a bit and sent me on my way after a while.

  All in all, an eventful, but not overly fun, night.  It was around like 11:30-12ish, so I didn’t get to (a rather uncomfortable attempt at) sleep till like 2:30 or so, woke up a few times cuz I was really uncomfortable, or my blasted cat would step/lie on my arm/shoulder.  D:

  And just for the sake of doing this, since I haven’t done so in a few days, this is Bitey, my second pokemon on my Nuzlok run.  Surprisingly enough, Bitey is still alive.  XD  And actually getting pretty strong.  Hyper fang.. (Or is it super fang? I dont rememebr which one it knows)  Is pretty awesome.  I don’t forsee Bitey being useful for long, but she’s done me well so far.  I’m considering whether or not I wanna let her evolve, since raticates are pretty fugly… But for the sake of survivability in a nuzlok, I might just let her.

  The only complaint I have so far about Nuzlok runs is, well other than the constant need to frickin grind like mad so that they don’t die and I can’t use them anymore.. >_>  Is that the “first pokemon” you encounter on a route is, most usually, a Derp.  For anyone who doesn’t know what a Derp is, it’s a phrase that I’m pretty sure originated with fucking Bidoof, because of their stupid blank “Derp” facial expression..  It’s the stupid, crappy, over populated, and generally weak, pokemon that are all too common throughout the game.  Pretty much every route has them too, they’re usually the first to show up, which makes nuzlok teams kinda generic and Derp-tastic. D:

  I’m hoping I get lucky and get at least one or two non-derpy pokemon.
