"oh, are they?"

it was a dark and rainy night. the rain had mostly stopped, but the roads were a bit wet. i was so very tired. i was so tired, in fact, that i fell asleep while driving.

i woke up in the middle of an intersection. the car had been flipped, and there was glass in my face; lots of glass in my face. well, it felt like "lots", anyway. it was so cold when i crawled out of the car, that i was more concerned with getting a blanket than calling an ambulance. in fact, i did neither. someone else (most likely many someone elses) called emergency, and i did not get a blanket until i was in the ambulance. ironic, huh? if i had asked for an ambulance first, i could have killed both birds with a single, smooth stone.

this was 330am last friday morning; a week ago. i am still sore in my right shoulder, but i have also not taken any pain killer. i was given codone, but wanted to be macho. i have taken less than 10 ibuprofen since coming home from the hospital about 6 hours after the wreck. the 8 sutures in my face were removed last night.

i guess that is all of the news. it has been a frustrating week because my body has not allowed me to be as active as i either usually am or wanted to be this week. i have yet to see the third and final movie in the lotr trilogy, and THAT, dear readers, is a trag- um, travi- trad?... negative thing.

on a slightly happier note, there is a friend whom i only know through the web. i have never met said friend in person, but they live in orlando's metro area. it is my new mission to hang out with them. i have offered before, but they are wary of internet friends. i ask you however; how could anyone be wary of me? i rest my case. this mission will be accomplished, even if it takes 15 years.

i should be on here before "the big day", but channukah does begin at sundown, roughly 5 hours away in this city. in other words, happy channukah. that is what i was trying to say.

lastly, commenting is next to cleanliness and godliness.
