Goddamn Lousy Karmic Retribution

I don't know what I did, but it must have been pretty bad for me to deserve all of this bad car karma. Remember how I received my last car payment in the mail, and the next day my car broke down? Well, yesterday I received the title to my car in the mail. I was very, very excited and proud of myself for passing such a huge milestone. All paid off. My car is alllllll mine.

Today I got in a huge accident.

The accident was pretty much my fault. I won't go into details, because they're kind of boring. The main thing I'm worried about right now is that I'll be paying a $500.00 deductible if I want to get my car fixed. The damage is purely cosmetic, but I really want to get it done. I don't want to drive around a piece of shit car, especially since I'm so proud about paying it off. "Hey look, I bought this! This baby's all mine. Just paid 'er off. Beauty, ain't she?" (No, I do have the annoying habit of referring to my car as a woman. I'm making a point.)

Don't ever get in a car accident, Jennifer. It sucks. It's scary as hell. I'm shuddering just thinking about it. I was so shaky and in shock after it happened. I drove to work afterward and I was so, so cautious and slow the whole way there. People kept passing me and I didn't care at all. From now on whenever I'm behind a slowpoke, I'll think to myself, "Maybe she was just in an accident" and I'll be more forgiving. Unless the car doesn't look damaged. 'Cause then I'll be all, "Bitch, get moving! I don't have all fucking day! Fuck!"
