I must be in love with the Grim Reaper
Apparently I think Death is hot, because I was seriously courting him last night.
Get this: First of all, I snuck off to see GOF with Calvin without telling my parents where I was going because I figured Mom would try to talk me out of it. Second of all, this was at 10:30 PM, and I KNEW, even though I didn't think about it, that the running time was over 3 hours, so we'd be getting back around 1:30 AM. Third, is was dark and foggy out there. VERY dark and foggy. Fourth, I COMPLETELY FORGOT to bring my cell phone, so I had no way to contact anyone and they had no way to contact me. Finally, everyone knows, including myself, that I am not the best of drivers on a GOOD day.
I must have run at least 5 stop signs total. Simply didn't see 'em, and Cal was no help either. When I think about how easy it would've been for us to get broadsided and die slowly while my parents were oblivious at home, I get positively chilled. Sure, Cal has EMT training, but what if HE were the one hit first and I didn't know SHIT? I think I did a lot of illegal and dangerous things out there without even realizing it, and at any time I could have killed both myself and my friend.
Praise God I am still alive. It must have been sheer dumb luck.

Tsk tsk!
Sneaking out without your parents permission!??!?!?!!???
WITH A BOY!!?!????!
WHOM YOU WANT???!?!!!??!
And you are so totally "lucky" because driving through stop signs on a foggy night is rather rash.
Also:
lucky is in quotes because I don't believe in luck, or if you prefer: In my experience there's no such thing as luck.
Well, I believe in luck.
Like I would ever get up to mischief with a boy! Ha!
Yeah i'd agree that you were pretty lucky there. Had to have been pretty dead that time of night if you ran that many lights/signs without coming close to hitting someone. Still...you got a movie and a date out of it. That's a fair exchange, just don't try the same exchange rate again.
There was nothing "date"-like about it; I just want to clear the record up on that account. He is my FRIEND. Friend. SO stop teasing me about him!
Honestly, some people...
Rali, tell me, how emphatic were you about the fact that there was nothing but a good friendship between us?
Wow, actually...I just said the comment above which is why it refers to Rali in the third person. But I didn't realise that she was signed in already because I'm on her computer at the moment.
What can I say? I fail.
So I take it that last comment was RK using Widge's space? You guys...useless. Completely useless.
No comment on anything else.
