ok... so it's time to fess up, share the wealth, deal with my dumbness, etc.

you see, yesterday I was injured... through no fault of anyone except for, well... perhaps myself!

here I shall explain...

I stopped by the guy's house, to pop in a grab the next couple of Alias discs... they were heading out/packing up to go look at a possibility of a new place.

I parked my car, hopped out, and headed towards the driveway. As I got behind my car, between it and a ginormous truck, my car decided to pursue me...

Now, I'll admit: I'm not sure if I left the car in park, reverse, neutral... what!? I can't account for how the ma-heck it all could have gone down any other way. All that aside... the issue is that the car was all up ons! I began trying to push it back away from me and the other vehicle... quickly yelling whatever my mouth & mind could conjure: some mix of "Jonathan!" "Turn me car off" "Help!" etc.

I soon found myself pinned between the two vehicles and the pinch/pain only getting more intense by the millisecond! Turns out the direction of my pleas (Jonathan) was out of range, in the back of another Subaru, unaware of the goings on/unable to respond. Praise God, Paul was quick on his feet... ran to my car, opened it up, reached in and turned it off.

Once the car/ignition was off, I was easily able to relieve the press... leaving me even more flummoxed as to what really happened.

By that point a crowd had developed. From what I can remember (mind you I was trying really hard not the further make a scene/pay attention) Jim, Paul, Abigail, & Jonathan were all standing around, genuinely concerned of broken bones, pain, etc.
I just wanted to brush it all off, not focus on my stupidity, and pretend like it never happened...

By the time I drove my car home I could hardly walk, let alone drive... from the pain I'm feeling, I'd have expected some mongoid bruising... alas, nada to prove my woes!

Of note: in the frenzy of the moment, I was apparently trying to push my car away, as if I had WonderWoman might... so now my back, arms, shoulders are eternally grateful for the work out (please note my sarcasm)

so that's it, in a nutshell... I'm dumb!

and sore!

Ouch, sounds like something I would do! I'm becoming increasingly convinced that I should just accept things the way they are and never attempt to learn how to drive...
