pretty much copied this from my LJ/DJ...

Got into an accident saturday on my own fault. I was really disoriented of where i was when i was in woonsocket and i took a wrong turn and ran a red light. Thankfully, no one was hurt badly. A passenger got injured in the other car, however, a hemophiliac to boot, but thankfully there was no bloodshed and he didn't really seem to be hurt badly at all. I didn't really get to check out the guys condition, but he looked fine. They did put him in a neck brace because they said possible neck injury, but the driver of the other car said the guy was probably just a little shaken up and he'll be fine and not to worry. He also told me in his words. "accidents are just that... accidents."

Offered to send the guy a card or something because i genuinely felt bad about it, which probably helped my position with the other people involved. . What's even more shocking is that i did not get into a nervous breakdown at all. I was upset, yes, stressed yes. But not like flipping out and breaking down.

Knowing my past history... i can say i handeled that quite well.

Nevertheless, I was still in the wrong, and i still got a ticket seventy-five dolalrs. ouch.. Car wasn't driveable, so it had to be towed. Forgot my stuff was in it to boot. The officer gave me a ride to TGA where i told my dad to pick me up in a few hours.

So i hung around there for awhile, burnt out and honestly a little bummed. Hanging there did help calm my nerves a bit. As well as buying some pocky and making Vulcan 300 out of the box.

So when my parents came, we found the towing place, waited around a bit for the guy to come and unlock it to get the stuff out. Got the car towed to our usual auto repair shop. After awhile... i just broke down. Couldn't take much more of the stress...it took awhile to sink in, but the "oh shit, I fucked myself and it was my own fault" factor kicked in i guess, and the additional stress of knowing i won't have money for awhile just really grated on me.

As my parents said, this gave me a nice kick in the ass to the adult world. At least that's how they worded it. Still was stressed as fuck.... couldn't take much of anything... but my parents said i did get something out of all this crap. I learned a lot of vaulable lessons.

If life were easy, it wouldn't be worth anything.

I'm probably gonna have to work a 30-40 hour a week job. I'll have to check with several people i know to see if there's some jobs open. but i won't have as much time, or much money to myself for awhile. I'll still be able to go places, yes, but i won't be able to blow 50-60 dollars a week on magic cards and TGA trips.

So I guess its Back to square one for me.

Yeah, at least you learned something from it. It's a good wake up call to the real world that isn't so purdy purdy as it may seem. Or maybe not . But still, at least now you know what it's like and at least you aren't hurt. You could have went through much worse and could have been killed. At least you weren't. Be glad you're alive . Lessons were learned so you won't make the same mistake again.

Sorry to hear that dude!
Glad you're alright man!
But man... the other dude sounds like he got a bit whacked...
Very unfortunate nonetheless...
Hope all goes well for everyone.

Well, at least nobody was hurt too badly. Things could have gone much worse.

In the long run, this will most likely just work out to be a minor misfortune and a temporary setback on your personal enjoyment. Either way, your life will go more-or-less back to normal eventually, at which point the job you were pretty much shoved into may turn out to make life pretty good for you, financially.

I'm just glad you and the other people are okay. A friend of mine was in a car accident in november and he's still recovering from it (and he will be for at least another year, he went into a coma for a while).

Cars can always be replaced, although I know if I get into an accident I'll definately be freaking out.

Same thing happened to a friend of mine, except I was in the vehicle with him and there wasn't another car involved, just stupidity. All he got was a FKitten Yiffer to Control Speed ticket. He's a lucky one. Yeah, and his Blazer is screwed, but he's taking the motor and transmission out and putting it in a suburban, so, it's not too bad I guess.
