What happened?!

are you okay?

Anyway I'm fine. Sort of. I'm not hurt.

Okay so it's not unusual here for people to be too lazy to signal a lane change. There's a center lane and I have had to use it before to avoid wrecks

But there's no divider, so oncoming traffic from the highway ramps can go the wrong way if they're drunk or something

And both those things happened at the same time today and I got caught in the middle

jesus fuck

I'm not sure how I did it on instinct but I dropped a gear for resistance to let the dude just miss skimming my car and then backed up from the center

scream

sort of a reverse U turn and hit the gap in traffic going the other way

Ava ;w;

So I ended up safely sitting there in front of a sandwich shop watching a head on collision that almost involved me because the dude who didn't signal hit the other guy

god I'm glad you didn't get hit 8( thank goodness for instincts

And then like 5 other cars got fender benders but both the cars that almost hit me were totaled and one of the drivers is dead and the other got life flighted

Goddamn. I'm glad you got out of it.

kick ass driving skills

And I didn't know what to say to the police so I just say there and stared while the kid I picked up -he was like 17 and hit hiking in the dark wearing black like I was gonna leave him to it

just freaked out and bawled

I seriously don't even remember what I said. I must've said something though cause I have a signed statement

That is impressive.

fjdsk oh wow. I'm so glad you're okay.

even if the rest of them didn't end up even half as lucky as you.

holy shit that's... terrible for everyone else involved but great for you.

The kid is fine too. The police took him home I guess? Or called his parents anyway, they definitely have him a phone to use at one point

I barely even have bruises and those are just from getting jerked around

reflexes can freaking save your life, i'm glad yours are that good!

Not gonna lie I'm a little freaked out...but no yeah you're right. I'm lucky. It doesn't feel that great though since I know what happened to the other guys

All those years of video games paid off I guess...or sports. I did those too. I don't know.

idk either, but I'm really glad you're okay, even if it probably doesn't feel entirely fantastic right now. And I'm glad the kid was okay too.

That'll scare him straight I guess

I'm just glad there's a puppy here to put my face on. Puppies are oddly reassuring.

If you're that lucky, I'd play the lottery if I were you... Also, I'm glad to hear you're okay. Sounds incredibly stressful...

I might consider it if it didn't involve leaving the safe warm house again. I think I'm in for the night.

I didn't even want to drive back here and was only like 6 minutes

Yeah I probably wouldn't want to drive for months after that

I think I'm still a little in shock but that was helpful for getting here and letting the dog out before I decided to curl up in the bed and stay here

I think I'm going to play games a bit before tags because my brain wants to stall out

And I think it might be horrible to even mention tags and serious accidents in the same plurk but I'm not sure cause my moral compass is pirates of the Caribbean style

But I felt kind of guilty after I typed that so maybe it is awful

it's a coping mechanism for stress, tag away the anxiety

I was going to say I don't think I'm really stressed but the I realized I'm still shaking so maybe you're right

Begging for a while sounds like a good idea

...close enough autocorrect

/drapes across

/scoops up

[/makes tea]

You mean coffee

coffee and crepes. I'll be sure to spill a little on you first.

I mean your plant-part of choice soaking in water, with sweet stuff and strong stuff added at your own discretion. Internet magic, you know.

/hugs, I'm glad you are okay, and sorry for you witnessing those who are not. I'm glad the kid got home safe

Augh I hope he did. I didn't actually stay to make sure. When they said I could go I just left

I'm not a responsible hitchiker babysitter

But I did offer him a work vest at first before all this happened. I don't think he took it though but I have a ton from the window factory so I was kind if serious

...I think I'm just rambling now

Holy shit, I'm glad you're alive!

Thanks. Me too. :c

/picks up and cuddles

jesus. glad you're okay.

I could have sworn I replied to this, but I guess not. glad you made it out of that unhurt! D;

Holy shit. So glad you're alive, and yeah, take it easy. Also you saved hitchhiker dude's life so I'd call that responsible babysitting.

dude. duuuude. im so glad you're okay

Yeah I'm alright. And psyching myself up to go to work tonight at the moment actually.

Oh...and sorry I didn't actually do tags last night. I'm slowly getting to them today. I just decided it was more important to play with the puppy

d'awww... puppies are always good after crazy things happen. /nodnod

They really are

playing with a puppy was an excellent idea

/thumbs up

Don't worry Seek you're still my people puppy

Though you aren't as cute and slouchy as this one.

that is true, I'm not a very good puppy replacement.

...In other news I had no idea that kid Yosuke'd in my car until this morning. There's even some on my shirt, how did I miss that. Dayum

Luckily you are an excellent people so that solves that problem

oh bluh. I hope that doesn't prove too difficult to clean up.

Wow. Definitely glad you're okay.

Thanks Asuka. I'm glad too. Occasionally very lucky, I am.

And yeah dude I haven't even had to try this in years so I guess I'll get some wet wipes or carpet scrubber or something. Still better than getting his pubescent brains smeared across the pavement

So I guess I'll allow it. Seeing how I have no choice anyway. I've been meaning to buy a new air freshened, here's my excuse.

I love Yosuke is a verb now.

it's such a versatile one, too! it covers so many mishaps and accidents.

And yet somehow the meaning is always clear

Much like me and Sarah agreed once a long time ago that this emote is universal and fits any situation

Yosuke and his ass are like smurfs

LMAO sounds legit!

No I'm pretty sure it's crazy talk but what can I say it made us laugh
