Cross-Purposes (Cut Less)

I have to leave my house at noon to get to a 5:30pm university class by bus. This is not a big deal.

When I am a passenger on said bus, minding my own business, and we are following all relevant traffic laws as we pull up to a stop?

And we're rear-ended?

That's. Kind of less of a not big deal.

When I'm the tweaky freaky and I'm the only one composed enough to rouse the authorities, it's almost funny.

She fucking lived. She lived she lived she lived she's fine her stupid Nissan is fucking totaled god I hope she learns from this, I hope it changes her life.

The paramedic was absolutely astounded that I don't scarf the prescription candy.

My pharmacist's name is Bacardi.

Lights out, Gracie.

Reminds me of my experience today where I came within inches of being rear-ended by a car because I was actually stop for a school bus as is the law in the state of ohio. I really think that there should be some sort of way to get it across to people that cell phones and driving really should not mix.

Wow, that sucks! Are you okay? *Squeezle*.

Yeah, I really wish there was a Federal law that people HAD to have those hands-free sets. I know the studies all say they're still distracted and stuff, but it's just inconvenient enough/just pricey enough that it would discourage a whole bunch of the people who currently drive with their phones to their faces the whole time.

Also, good on you for doing the right thing. <3
