I was on my way home today and was on a very busy side of town when I came up on a terrible car crash. There were about 4 cars involved and one was turned upside down, the others were just piles of metal and fiberglass. Naturally the fire department, the cops, and several ambulances were everywhere. Concerned citizens were all on the sides of the road looking devastated and worried. Traffic was backed up and my very first thought was...
"Oh my God! I have a hair appointment Tuesday. I hope that's not my hairdresser involved." -
liar. i bet that never happened
on a related note, the road i normally take to work was blocked early yesterday morning. i was highly annoyed; the cops always block it off because of silly things like "flooding" and "construction"
it made me late for work 'cause i had to double back and go another way
-
-
It did too happen! Why would I lie? *bites*
Did you get in trouble for being late? -
-
why? why, you ask? why indeed! *bites back*
i was the one to open the store, so nobody else was there to whine about me being late
besides, i had good reason anyway, and everyone here comes in late all the time for various reasons; as long as we call in advance, or we're opening, it's not too big a deal -
-
If I'm late for work, I could be fired. You can't be late when you're giving old people their pills. -
-
you deal with old people? oh man, i don't envy you
i'm pretty sure that'd be an even more annoying and drive-me-outta-my-skull job than mine right now -
-
It's not too bad. They have alzheimer's. They have no idea what's going on. They're kind of funny actually. They roam around aimlessly thinking they are someone else or you're someone else. They have no concept of right or wrong. They get angry and cuss you out for no apparent reason, all sorts of things... It's a very fulfilling job.
-
-
i dunno, old people tend to annoy me
though, it'd be funny to get cussed out for no reason

So, was your hairdresser involved in that?
-
-
No, but shortly there after I was involved in one that was much worse. I've seen the pictures. And the blood. It was fairly gruesome. Luckily, I was asleep instantly.
I totally forgot about this. Diggin' up the past are we? -
-
Well, I'd come way back here for something else entirely, but couldn't find it and then I spotted this, so I thought I'd bring it back up.
Were you driving at the time?
It makes sense that you'd see the pictures, with your love of gore and all.
-
-
I was driving at the time. I'm glad I was instantly comatosed as I always have dreaded the thought of being smacked in the face by rough material that pops out at you at 200 MPH.
The pictures were gory. Not as gory as I would have liked, but I'm sure that someone was probably puking at the scene. I was told it took days to get all the glass out of me. It looked as if there was a good amount of blood spray judging from the blood pattern. I wonder what part of my body that came from. I have some pretty decent scars so I can only wonder and assume. The car was unrecognizable. Thank god my Opeth CD's were at the house at the time.
The other driver was drunk so I think he pretty much spent a day or two in the hospital and served a small sentence in the county jail. I have all my bills in a neat little pile here for him to pay.
Next time it happens, I'm doing the whole "GO LIMP!" thing. It's what saves every drunk driving asshole. -
-
Yes, can't let those Opeth CDs go and get damaged now.
That said, I'm glad you unconscious instantly as well. Not so much for the whole being-asleep-for-several-months part, but for that moment in time, it was probably best; a panicked, injured driver can be very scary to handle.
What's the "GO LIMP!" thing? -
-
"it was probably best; a panicked, injured driver can be very scary to handle."
I would have loved to have seen all the blood gushing and gooey mess leaking out of me though. Too bad no one was in the car with me video taping. I think I'm going to buy a camera for the car in case it happens again.
Have you ever noticed how the majority of drunk drivers are very rarely seriously injured in an accident... they say it's because they are so relaxed that the impact of the crash doesn't affect them like it would if someone was tense and locked up. So, the next time it happens, I'm trying that "go limp!" theory. -
-
Eh, I'm not sure anybody knows how they'd react in a situation like that. I know I wouldn't be pleased.
I'm curious, though--what all was injured?
And yeah, now that you've described it a little more, I know what that "Go limp!" thing is. It's more-or-less true. Bracing for an impact can make the impact a lot worse because your body never really absorbs the energy, or some shit like that.

How do you view topics after page 60?
I get this message:
"Browsing pages is limited to 60. If you're looking for something, please search using the form at the bottom right of the sidebar" -
-
You can't. I'm not sure why they bother showing pages past 60, but you can't view 'em.
-
-
Ah.
How did you find this? -
-
See my answer to UnderTheWeepingMoon.

That would be such a tragedy!
How did your hair turn out? I need to get mine cut sometime . . .
-
-
DON'T CUT IT!
-
-
Why not? If it looks like crap, I could get it cut back to the way it looks now by the end of summer--it grows outrageously fast!
-
-
It's a work of art! Well, as long as it's still thick and red after the cut... I'll approve.
-
-
Aww! Thank you! Yes, it will still be thick and red (with dark red and black lowlights now) and I'll be sure to update the picture! (Don't worry, I will NEVER go back to blonde! I don't know how that was even natural!)
-
-
I just got mine done yesterday it turned out great gosh I love the place i go to.
-
-
Mine, too. It's so much fun when they use different products, because then your hair smells different. Hair stuff is so much fun! My mom and I can spend a long time in the salon warehouse we go to, and even though she says she's only going to get a "few" things for her salon, things don't always go as planned, lol.
What does your hair look like now?
-
-
-
-
It wasn't my hairdresser. And my hair turned out great. I usually don't fuss over vain things such as nails and skin and clothes and shopping and beauty tips and fashion do's and don't's but my hair is, I think, very deserving of raving over because it is gorgeous. I can't go into a salon without all the hair dressers falling over themselves to play with it.
They actually flip coins to see which one is going to be the lucky one to trim it.
(Okay, that part was a lie.)
Your hair is gorgeous! It's so vibrant and the cut you have suits you perfectly. I love your hair. You're a very beautiful person.
-
-
I say your hair is superior.
-
-
Aw.
Superior? Thank you.
-
-
You're quite welcome.
-
Well, by no means is it inferior, lol!
-
-
You're a sweetheart.
-
-
-
-
Thank you! I agree, if you're going to spend money on beauty, I think most of it should go to hair. Yeah, I wear make-up and nail polish occasionally, and clothes are important, I think my mom brought me up with the thought that hair is the most important. Probably because she's a cosmetologist.
-
-
I wear very little make up because I have to. I work with the public and no one wants to rent an apartment from someone who looks like they crawled out from under a rock, but I hate the way it feels on my skin after about two hours. I wear make up that is very natural looking. I hate when girls pile so much of it on they look like someone totally different without it. I don't color my fingernails, only my toenails. I'm always chipping the polish off my fingernails somehow, even if they have a topcoat on them. They grow nicely though. I got that from my mother. She had wicked strong nails and they grew so pretty. Teeth. Teeth are important. I brush mine at least 3 times a day or more and I floss twice a day. I get them whitened once a year. I had a horrible experience at the dentist once when I was a child and I swore I'd take excellent care of my teeth so I'd never have to go through that again.
As far as clothes, I wear jeans and tank tops & tee shirts but at the office I have to wear dressy clothes.
I'm pretty simple actually. No frills here.
-
-
Heheh. You sound like me on the make-up and clothes. Yeah, I suppose it wouldn't be good if you looked like you crawled out from under a rock. Unless it was a nice clean one! Maybe a really big diamond? Hey, that's an idea!
-
-
It's still Dark brown i only got my color touched up and I'll change my display picture so you can see it. I really adore it when I get it all teased I really want bright purple undertones though.
-
-
Dude, I LOVE it!!!! Your complexion is perfect for your color! I appreciate your sense of style of not getting the classic blond/black combination. Purple goes great with black, and it's something fresh and unique. Gosh, I like your hair; it's making me happy! Now I shall dance:
-
-
She does have nice hair! You have competition! You've started something, here... everyone's going to try and out-nice-haircut each another... what will you do to defend your title?
-
-
Well good! I like people who have good taste! As for my title, I'll wield my cutlass . . . you don't mess with pirates--er, well, you're part of my crew I think, so you don't count. Tee-hee.
-
-
You only 'think' I'm part of your crew, captain! You should KNOW that I'm not just part of your crew, but also your most loyal crew member! Who else would take a cannon ball or cutlass swipe meant for you!
-
-
Ah, chivalry! Is it really raw loyalty and faithfulness, or is it masked heroism? We shall find out . . .
Better watch your back, sir!
Remember: One swipe of my cutlass shall leave you buttless! Ha! -
-
Yikes! Luckily I don't have a butt!
-
-
All pirates have butts! Will I have to hang ye from my brigantine's yardarm for lying? I have to admit, I'm not one for killing, save spiders and bees and other demon-spawn bugs . . .

thank you believe it or not I was born blonde....I hated it XD. Yeah I know I used to have my hair black with blonde underneath then everyone started doing it so i had to find something else. I get so easily bored with my hair lol.

Hoping people you know aren't involved in a car is perfectly understandable. I mean it is already being dealt with, there wasn't anything you could do to help or anything, so it doesn't really matter what you think particularly.
-
or your hair dressers wife!?!( or husband, he could be a she, how would i know?) then he'd be in the hospital visiting her and not doing your hair...how completely inconsiderate!
