Friday the 13th
So what happened to you all, if anything, on this crazy *** day?
Well i dont normaly pay too much attention, but today was ****in nuts. I was in a HUGE pile up and was almost hit by a semi trying to avoid all of us that had already bapped and come to a stop. The truck missed my passenger door by about 3 feet. What a ****ing nightmare. It was all going so slow too. My first though was " i guess thats it". Seriously. I had a feeling of utter hopelessness and completion, if that makes any sense. But leave it to nissan to design a tuff *** lil truck. I was in the company Frontier and was rear ended hella ****ing hard. The dude that hit me must have been doing at least 60pmh. His car was toast. The nissan? The shiny chrome bumper is now nicked and the corner is pushed in. . . .thats it. Taillight didnt even receive a scratch. I spun about 1 and a half times too i think. Oh wells. Live and learn i guess. SEATBELTS SAVE LIVES!!!!

Damn, you shoud stay off the roadz next year. Glad you're o.k.
Mine wasn't as eventful. I was driving home thru traffic. With three lanes blocked by slow arsses, I jumped into the carpool lane at two minutes till three doing 80 mph. (carpool lane rules go into effect at 3:00. As I made the pass and checked the mirror to move back over, I saw a CHP jump into the carpool lane, coming up hot and fast. I moved over and got it back down to around 70 before he paced me a little ways and then he zoomed on ahead.

I went to a nice pool hall with some friends for a guys birthday party. He got really drunk and even though nothing happened, they kicked him out. I guess you can't get drunk at a upper class establishment. Then he just about jumped head first down a really long escalator but luckily I grabbed him to stop him from early death. Then we drug him outside and some people took him home. 
The I couldn't find my car for a while. The Bellevue square parking garages confused me.
OH, and my friend broke up with her boyfriend last night.
I lost at a game of pool.
