I finally got rear ended!

I got rear ended for the first time ever the other day! Yes! I know, getting rear ended probably isn't something that one would get typically stoked about, but I have never had any kind of car incident before and figured it would have to come eventually, may as well get it over with. It is also something that I felt strangely out of the loop about, like how I never got bloody noses in second grade while everyone else was. So, what had happened was, it was a rainy evening, 4pm or so, a Friday. I was in quite the merry mood, having it be the end of the week and all.  That, and because I'm generally a pretty zesty soul.  I'm cruising down Elm Street when I notice a car hugging my derriere. This is a major pet peeve of mine. I mean, the sign reads "objects in mirror are closer than they appear".  That must mean those objects are pretty damn close.  A bus comes to a halt infront of me, dropping a couple of kiddos off. I'm jammin' to my jams, when I peer back into the mirror and see that zippy black car flying at me and BOOM! Thankfully, there was no damage to the car. The problem is that I was in too good of a mood when I was hit.  I should have gotten out of the car and started swearing, or else at least attempt to look pissed. Instead, I was overly friendly, as a twenty-something girl smoking a cigarette jumps out of her vehicle and blames it on the rain.  She was totally tailgating my ass the entire time and though I'm no fool, I was all, "it's all good! how are you doing?! any good weekend plans??". Sometimes it doesn't pay off to be in a good mood! But I've done some stretching and the spine has de-stiffened so no harm, no foul, right??

Two days later, I'm on the highway in CT following my friend to a breakfast joint.  Six deer come onto the highway.  My friend pulls towards them, hoping to scare them back into the woods.  Thankfully, this works. I slowed down behind her. Of course, next to us, crunch! crunch! crunch! Cars are skidding into each other left right.  A few totaled fronts are apparent, but no serious injuries.  I ate a blt for breakfast.  It was delicious.
