Okies.... so yah.
I finally broke down and decided to call Heavens Exile (Oliver) on Wednesday. I still don't quite understand what possessed me to do so, but I had a fun time chatting with him. The day before that, I called up (GOD) Brahms (Josh) and talked to him too. Two different guys, both my older brothers. ^^;; heart
The entire OSU campus was on edge after an attempted abduction Wednesday near LaSells Center though. I was so scared that I didn't even go to the speech and debate meeting that night. And for anime club, I went home in a group. So scared... even if they caught the guy who did this particular incident, Brooke Wilberger still hasn't been found...
But nyah.... so a dead week it was. However, yesterday *Friday* was really bad. eek
I was driving with Kathy (my college roommate, aka my cousin) and we were turning onto 9th street, which is a two lane road in either direction with a middle turn lane in between. So I turned out from Jo-Ann fabrics and held the right lane, as a good driver should. I saw a car in the middle make its way out of the middle into the left lane, which is okies.
However, this car was trying to go to the shopping center to my right, and so swerved right towards me. Driving instinct took over and I slammed on the breaks. The other car did as well, but she barely made it. Nguoi me, ma. She stopped literally inches away from smashing right into the driver's side door, in other words, where I was because I, of course, was the driver.
Oh my gosh... I was in shock afterwards. I couldn't stop my foot from shaking and trembling as I struggled to drive to Matt's Cavalade of Comics down Buchanan Street. When I got out of the car, I almost couldn't stand up and support my weight either, I was so bad and shaken up. Even now, I still tremble a little when I get behind the wheel...
It was bad. I had a flash of one of my former suicidal thoughts from way back when, when I used to fantasize about getting hit by a car... but... wow.
Kathy left to go back to her place in Vancouver, WA *across the Columbia River from Portland* to pick up some stuff though.
So on top of that, I also talked to my friend Annie this morning. First, all I knew was that her parents were divorced and that her father had filed a lawsuit against her mother after an argument. However... now Annie's mom has given her an ultimatum. Either she convinces her sister to move in with her mom, or Annie gets kicked out of the house.
I didn't know what to do... so I tried calling Heavens Exile (Oliver) about it around 9am, but he didn't pick up, so I gave up on that idea. Though now I don't quite know why I wanted to talk to him for advice. Perhaps I trust Oliver that much, or just needed some objective advice... either way, there was another marathon phone call, dialed by me, just before noon, that I felt later I shouldn't have made because look what I'm doing. I'm placing my burdens on someone else again... I can't do that. All it does is make people worry, and I don't like doing that. It's not too good...
Anyway, Oliver and I had a fun little MSN chat for the first time since before I left for Oregon State *and thus was rendered without Internet*. The usual stuffies. We talked about how we seemed to rely on one another a lot to bounce advice and rants off of. Fun. ^_^
Either way... if this was how my first week of sophomore year was, I can only imagine how next week will be... x_X;
