This weekend has been full of cosmic things and strange karma.
I've been accosted twice by people wanting money. I'm typically the person who gives homeless people money; I don't believe that bullshit about "they want to be homeless and they all spend their money on drugs/drink." I didn't have any money for the one (I'd already given away all my change to the other fellas) and the older lady that approached me (and I think
generalmanda too) didn't want to follow me to the gas station, so I had to tell her no, too.
Those are both firsts, I'm happy to say. And I lived near campus for 6 years.
My size 12 jeans are the ones that are too big. Hm. They must have had a 7-year-old sewing the tags in that day.
Picked up
velvet__moon and drove to Springfield to the
hp_ohio meetup this morning. Mmm, french toast and shipping debates. :) Though I always feel tres lame because I'm so not crafty or creative. I pretty much sit there like a lump. I have no good quotes, alas.
Thank goodness Cheryl told me to be careful on the way home, because I came thisclose to being in a serious accident (just north of downtown on 71, no less). And thank goodness I actually know how to drive, or I'da been toast. I think the only injury was that my car got pelted by all the shrapnel flying around.
( details if anyone is interested )It was also karma that I stopped for gas and a breather in Hilliard, else I might have been too tired to have good reaction time. I was seriously sleepy from Dayton to Hilliard.
I can't say it enough - learn how to drive your damn car. Take a defensive driving course, take your car to the Kroger parking lot, take it to the country - wherever - and learn what it can and can't do. ESPECIALLY if you drive an SUV; if you can't park it, don't drive it. Dammit.
