Unlucky: The powers that be...

[Jane]

seem to be telling me to stay away from cars?

Sat., Feb.2 - After an all day seminar two and a half hours away, with four people in it, my moms car breaks down a half hour from home and about three hours later, I have to drive home with my dad, then back in my car to get the three, plus my brother.

Within 15 min., (I'll tell the short version) a car, going close to 100 mph on the highway, narrowly misses my car and another car (which was entirely unaware) and flies of the road (within a few car lengths of me) at what looked like a fatal speed. I'm driving, shocked and trying to keep the car, with four people in it, on the road as the crash sends up a shower of ice and snow back up in front of me. I cried and we still don't know what happened.

Tues., Feb 5 - Late for my first org. chem. prelim, the parking lot is slippery and I tap someone's bumper with my car, pulling into a parking space. I mean tap, I pretty much merely bent their license plate. I leave my name and number but they haven't called back. I hope they don't.

Sat., Feb 9 - I'm driving and I see in my rear view mirror that the person behind me got hit by the person behind them. They look upset but I'm a little glad it wasn't me. Plus their reaction was classic...sorry.

Today, Mon., Feb 11 - On my way home, my little four-door is rear-ended by a ginormous SUV. I won't call the guy, it's only cosmetic but my head is tender where it hit the steering wheel and I seem to have pulled a muscle in my neck.

Stay away, everyone. Dear God, what will the rest of the week bring...last week, my alarm clock came UNPLUGGED the day of my bio prelim as well.

According to astrologers, there are actually times when you are not supposed to get in a car. Maybe this is one of those times.

See, I don't buy into astrology...but it DOES look that way, doesn't it...

[Stargazer]

Maybe you should reconsider. LOL

wow...a guy hit u hard enough to make yer head bounce off off the stearing wheel and u arent gonna call him??? screw that...with as much as i pay for insurance if someone hit me like that their insurance would be forkin up some $$$$

Well, the funny thing about that is, yeah, he hit me hard and my car isn't great, but she can take a beating like no one's business...the bumper is still shaped like a bumper.
