Okay, so I’m hoping I’m over the miniature personal crisis I was having yesterday. Some days are like that. I just was sorry it had to be my brother’s birthday. I mean, sure, he’s turning 23, so he’s philosophical about uninspiring birthdays more than, say, an 8-year-old would be, but it’s still a bit guilt-inducing when you spend the whole day trawling for reassurance that you’re not a waste of good carbon, worrying you have some kind of medical condition, etc.
And in equally fun and exciting news, I’m sure you’re all dying to hear about Monday’s car accident! It was one of those stupid, anticlimactic ones that could have been a hell of a lot worse. I was cruising off a freeway exit when the car in front of me slammed on the brakes; I hit mine and had that fun moment of “HOSHIT GONNA HIT HIM.” But I managed to stop, and was feeling pretty smart about how much space I give the car in front of me and BONK the car behind me thunked into me and knocked my bumper askew.
I was mostly just relieved that the new tail light array we got last month wasn’t damaged.
Anyway, the weirdest thing about fender benders is the part where you go on with your day. I'm always under the impression that car accidents are enough to cancel the rest of the day, but even so I went on to work and apologized for being a little late. Everyone was really sympathetic, including my manager when she finally noticed.* But it was still rather surreal.
But! Today is sunny and chill, Mom loved episode 2 of Doctors!, I discovered that I had saved a game of Wind Waker just after beating the first runthrough,** I have calmed down enough to pay real attention to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fadethecat's story (sorry for the delay, Fade!), and I just got a message that my order of chainmail stuff has been sent. Today is a better day all around!
*My manager, for the record, is definitely on the Asperger spectrum. Folks think I'M weird ...
**For those who haven’t played it, this means that you get to do a second runthrough on the same file with some Easter eggs, the most obvious of which is that Link elects to go through the entire game in his lobster-themed pajamas.
