You REALLY are fortunate to have escaped with minor injuries. I'm glad you are alive to tell about. :wave:

I had a triple rollover - it's not something you just shake off. There's a post-traumatic element. Glad you're alive and intact.

@Juana - great news!

@Xizen - wow! It is amazing that you walked away from that wreck. Considering that you were hit at 60-70 mph, I am surprised that both you and your car were not pulverized. I think it would take me a while to get behind the wheel again if something like that happened to me.

Just had my audition. Went well, didn't fluff my lines, they were impressed ( or said they were lol) so we'll see if it goes anywhere. Fingers crossed.

Oh and I met Bruce Kerr. He was in The Man From Snowy River! He was nice, said I was prettier than him!

Xizen - your car took that crash pretty well all things considered. Testament to how well smaller cars are engineered to handle pretty severe impacts these days that you walked away from it.

Had shrooms for the first time tonight. Didn't really do anything, while everyone else was tripping.

Same thing happened to me last year with LSD.

Looks like there's something wrong with me.

However, it kinda made my day.

Must be the mushrooms.

Thanks again everyone :wave:

Feeling much better now! Started car shopping today. Definitely going to upgrade to midsize :nod:

Yeah, I believe I was the most cautious driver on the way home after that. Worst part of the day (besides the obvious) was having to pack all my belongings up, get dropped off at the local airport where I rented a car and drove the remaining 400 or so miles home.. Couldn't even listen to music for the first couple hours.

Left San Diego at 10AM, got home (SF/Bay Area) at 10:30PM. Pretty good time considering the circumstances.

:nod: The car really took it like a champ! The wreck really ended in the best case scenario. On the inside shoulder of the freeway with soft/minor injuries... SO Lucky it knocked me towards the center divide...

So you were just outside LA when the accident happened? On the 5?

Someone on a motorcycle in your place would have probably been toast pretty much instantly.

Yeah, I suppose we are all lucky sometimes. Most of the times we probably don't even know it.

It happened somewhere around Mission Viejo on 5, the tow company ended up dropping me off at John Wayne airport for the rental car. Really cool of them to out of their way like that for me :nod:

yes, people are very fond of me.

but I actually took the same dose as everyone else. and it's not like i'm a fatass whose body need 3 doses.

and with the LSD last year, I tried it 3 times. first, half a dose. second, a full dose (with friends, who were tripping with 1 dose). third, 2 doses. feeling left out (these friends were tripping again, with one dose), i had an extra half dose. nothing. zilch. nada. I spent like $150 to lick stamps and see my friends tripping and thanking me for that awesome LSD.
