I would like to know what I did in a previous life...

to deserve this. It's like I can't catch a break.

^^^That's how I originally started this post about a week ago after crashing my car on my way home from a friends. I hadn't slept for more than 2 or 3 hours for a few nights and being exhausted I fell asleep and hit a telephone pole. The accident occurred at approx. 1am but, me thinking the car was still driveable (cuz it should have been I didn't hit it that hard & there really wasn't that much damage) spent a good 1/2 hour- 45 mins trying to get it outta the neighbors yard & the whole 2 mins down the street to my house. Yes, I was on my street and almost home...and for those of you that know me yes this is the 4th accident I've been in not counting the hit & run many of you probably aren't aware of and it's the 2nd one including a telephone pole.

Back to that night...

After about 45 mins the cops showed up. No, I didn't call them, honestly, I was considering pretending it never happened walking home & saying fuck the car, what car? I was just pissed at that point. After the cop drilled me a bit cuz of course he thought I'd been drinking, it hit me that I now had no ride to school & would probably be facing another failing semester like the fall of 07' in which I obtained a couple AW's and a few F's. That was the last time I crashed my car, and since I hate asking for help & had trouble getting up early enough to take the bus school became non-existant. Yes I could have withdrawn...blah blah...I'm over it, your turn to follow...I'm paying for my mistakes I don't need the lecture. Anyways I started crying like a big fat baby and everytime he tried to console me with "at least you're okay that's all that matters" I informed him that "I wish I hadn't been okay because I go to school almost and hour away & have no way of getting there. Having no car means I'm stuck in town, I have a total of 1 friend left in town...and even if I had numerous friends out here look where I live. I live in the woods. Theres no busses here to take you to civilization & if there were do you think they would come anywhere near my house?!? Damnit...do you know how much this is going to cost me?!" The only difference between that and what I actually said were the amount of swears I've omitted.


Anyways he called a tow truck which apparently on my part was a big mistake considering I should have just called my uncle to pull me home with his truck. I'm gonna be honest though. Considering I just moved in with them a few months ago and he's always giving me a hard time (just jokinly of course) about the "hours I keep" I wasn't feeling too excited about calling him at 1:30 am for anything. I was givin the choice of having it towed to the house or to the tow place. I was eager to choose the tow place considering the noise from the tow truck would wake everyone anyways but my cars destination was confirmed when the cop said to get it towed to the house I needed $100 to pay now. It's amazing, I was expecting my family to think I was stupid for not getting it towed to the house but I definatley wasn't expecting them to be suprised I didn't have $100 in my pocket. Oh yes, Frankie who works 40 hrs a week for chump change, made her 1st payment of $400 to school and just bought the $200 Accounting pack for her online class should have a number of benjamins in her pocket and giving up one to tow her car shouldn't be a problem!

Needless to say that cop waited for the tow truck & another brought me home. I snuck in through my cousins room in the basement since he was still up playing Xbox with his friend. After pacing back & forth in his room cursing my luck and basically talking to myself I went upstairs to my room to try & sleep the few hours I had left until I had to go to work.
