( Considering what happened yesterday, I'm surprised I'm still alive, but here it is anyway... )

I almost died once...

So I'm on the side of the road waving down anyone who'll stop. How the hell did I get in this position? It all starts with a phone call this morning. Well, actually, the night before when her mom asked me to pick up Ben. Imouto calls the next morning [yesterday] and says, "You don't have to pick Ben up today. Mom's gonna do it." I'm like, alright. I go to school like normal, get back home and call my Uncle for his birthday and call my Aunt to thank her for the birthday card. I stayed on the phone longer than I meant to and didn't get off the phone for an hour, so it was about 2pm. I was watching Full Moon when my grandmother came in and gave me an early present, 20$, then she ran off to go home because she was tired. I only got up to episode 49 1/2 when my mother came home. I decided to give up on watching all of Full Moon that day and Imouto called. She was like, 'Yeah, can you still go and pick up Ben? My mom's a spaz and was like, oh yeah, I told you I would do it, but I need you to.' I kinda chuckled and said 'Sure' and went over to pick him up. Everything was fine at that point. I went to the right house, he came out, got int he car, and we were off. Then, we got on the highway...

Now, me and the highway don't seem to get along when I'm going someplace for the first time by the highway. He doesn't seem to like me at all, and this only confirms my suspicions. We were taking 95 south, which I later found out was the wrong way, mind you, and I was starting to wonder if I'd gone the wrong way. The last time I went, I was following Imouto's mom and I didn't remember which way we were going. =_=

Then, ::clunk::grinding::sparks flying:: slight veering::pulling over::puts on caution signal:: comes to a stop:: I think I responded to those in this exactly order... ::blink::What the...?::Are those sparks?:: Aa, damn::Hope you guys aren't in the way cus I gotta get over:: If the sparks don't tell them I'm in trouble, better put on the caution signal:: slows down and stops on the side:: NOW what?

When I got out of the car, I was kinda like, 'Well damn...' I looked at the wheel, which definately wasn't facing the right way, and gave another 'Well, Damn' and started flagging down passing motorists, who were all slowing down, probably to look at the spectacle. Hell, I would have, too, except my reason would be because the asshole in front of me slowed down. I can only imagine what the people beside/behind me were thinking. Probably like 'HOLY SHIT!? WTF?!'

A car stopped up ahead and I ran over. He was a mexican or at least hispanic and he's like 'You need a ride?' I'm like 'Do you have a cell phone?' and he says 'No' and I'm like 'Dammit! No, I don't want a ride, Thank's anyway...' because you know the pyscho killers lurk and pick up people on the side of the road, right? I also had Ben with me, who had been sleeping at the time but sure as hell was wide awake now. At about this time I was talking to the guy, a cop car came up behind Kyo-han [my car] and waved me over. I don't remember his ass pulling up there, and it was an unmarked car too, nice... Either way, the conversation went like this:

'What are you going to do?'
'I dunno, I need a cell phone to call someone.'
'What are you going to do with the car?'
'Not leave it here, but I need to call my mother to see'
'You need a tow truck?'
'Eventually, but I need to call my mother'
'Alright, here, but this is my own personal phone so make it short. What's the number'
::insert mothers number here:: No one answers. Son of a bitch!
'Can I call his mom?'
'What's the going to accomplish?'
"I need to tell her what happened and then she can call my mother'
'Alright.'
::insert Ben's mom's number here:: No one answers. God DAMMIT!
'You want me to call the tow truck, he probably has a cell phone.'
'Sure. Call the cheapest one.'
'We have them on a rotational basis, but they all cost the same.'
'alright then.'

Then he calls for 'a wrecker' as they call it. Sometime after this he asks how old I am. I told him I was 20, and asked how old did he think I was. He just said 'younger than 20' and I laughed, because that's what they always say when they look at me. I'll thank my young appearence when I'm older, but now I just curse it. So I sat in Kyo-han with Ben, because he still ran just fine and had heat, it's just his wheel pretty much came off... =_= I gave Ben my DS so he could play Shounen Jump Superstars while I read up on some homework I had to do for class until the tow truck arrived. Once he did and started pulling Kyo-han up, I said the police officer could leave if he wanted and so he did.

It took a long time to get Kyo-han on the bed because, well, his wheel wasn't freaking working right. Then I talked to the guy who was towing my car and we had quite the interesting conversation. It circled around traffic, identity theft, credit cars, and how my directionally challenged-ness. Either way, it was amusing, and Ben was just playing with Mitsuomi [My DS] the entire time. ::sighs::

Anyway. I have to get home now. [Going to take a nap before I go out again] I'll finish the rest up later... Probably adding to this post...

Owari. Kageisuke. Yeah. My karma is bad. REAL bad.
