how you feel-thread

#

Started by gapu in Chit-Chat

i saw this idea on an another community board and kinda like it…

the idea behind it is just to type what happened to you lately, how you feel or just anything that you happens to you in everyday life…

so let’s start with me, not actually everday life situation, but worth to mention:
i had a terrible car accident on thursday!
damn rabbit… i drove about 80km/h. suddenly before there was a turn in the road, a rabbit ran on the street. I immediately stepped on the brakes and tried not to hit the rabbit. I didn’t, but i already was at the curve and on the right side of the curve there were crushed stones on which i drove… so of course, i lost control over the car and i was rotating in a 360°-circle, then i kept slippin over the road for a few more metres and then finally i was overturning 1,5 times. I landed with the right side of the car on the bottom of an acre.

I didn’t get in panic, but i had a shock… anyway, i was still able to think. So the very first thing i wanted to to do after i landed on the acre was to go out of the car. I reached for my mobile phone and opened the door which was this time not at the left side, it was on the top of my head, which is a very strange feeling i tell you. so after that, I jumped out of the car and tried to phone my family. of course, no one heard the phone, because they were all in the garden… and old couple then found me and drove me home. I then told my parents what happened and stayed in the house with my mom. my dad, bro and his girlfriend drove to the road where it happened to pick up the car…

my gosh, we always forget how fast a real accident can happen!
fortunately, i was not harmed… there’s just very tiny black and blue mark on the right leg. now thank god i had a hell of an guardian angel.

thanks man!

exactly, it does! more than you can imagine… i have to be more careful in future, although this can happen to everyone!
I always felt very safe when i drove, but that’s not a guarantee for anything…

and all that because for school. i was just on the road to meet my private coach, so i can study with her for my final exams at the end of the summer…

Right now, a good way to describe how I feel would be “confused”.

I am trying to find some Spanish Christmas music online for work, and iTunes has a whole heap of stuff - mostly shite - and my brain is sending me mixed signals such as “yeah, that sounds good”, “no, that its kiddie rubbish”, “What the HELL are they singing?!” and “OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! IT’S AUGUST AND SUNNY AND HOT OUTSIDE!”

:D

*confuddled*

I’m sorry to hear about your accident, but for small things likes rabbits, you shouldn’t swerve/ brake to avoid hitting it as it can cause accidents as you’ve just found out. I’d much rather kill a rabbit on the road than endanger myself and other road users by trying to avoid it.

@Tubthumper: well, true! But of course it all happened so fast that it’s more like a reflex rather than doing it because i don’t wanted to kill him… anyway, it also happened at a curve with crushed stones on it… so if it those stones would not have been there.. it would never happened just like it did.

but you’re right!

For those who know me here, I’ve not been in the best of health, but enough of that, because I’m feeling pretty good. I’ve done a little writing this week, had a drink last, got someone seeing me soon about a work placement, my birthday’s on Monday and then its Mardi Gras on Saturday.

So yeah, I’m up beat for now.

I went to Milton Keynes and back today and felt terrible, not least because I ended up sat next to this awful woman who kept phoning her ‘friends’ so she could shout at them and threaten them with shoe rations (seriously). But I came home, my new (old) Evergreen Terrace album had arrived and I drank a bottle of wine and now I feel all mellow… yey :)

I feel a bit drunk…is that worthy enough for this thread?

PS. My drunk spelling is so good because I double check it before I post, because I am cool like that when drunk. Also I am quite good with the English language. The end.

Gapu - good to hear that you got out of the accident pretty unscathed.

This morning I’m relaxed (now) after another reject letter for my poetry.
Also the throbbing head has now gone after a couple of glasses of Orange & Passionfruit Feel Good.

Thank Auto Surgeon! :)
It feels good to be still part of this planet. I think I’ll stay for a few more and more long, long years ;)

anyway, I often remember it. such situations really make you think of what could have been, and how you live your life and stuff. I guess you know what i mean…

strange, have you heard about these moments where your whole life flashes for your eyes in a few seconds. time seems to stop only for you, just so you see the most important moments of your life… i remember: i once had this. we (me and 2 friends) were playing with our bicycles. We were about 6 or 7 years old. I was the criminal and my friends where the 2 cops who chase me down the road. we were driving very fast. i was about a few metres before my friends and I wanted to shake them off. So I drove to the other side of the street without looking if cars cross the road. and as I realised there was a car in front of me (about 4 metres) my whole life flashed threw my eyes. time seemed to slow down and suddenly I was save again and realised how a fool I’ve been to be so stupid…

I didn’t have this moment when I had the accident on thursday.. which is kinda strange. But when I was overturning I kinda had the feeling that nothing will happend, which you can’t say for sure (especially not in such situation), but I kinda knew it.

Did anyone of you have such moments?

PS: as for me, i think i have to go to the practice room to hit the drums for a while.
