| The wrath of life... |

I seriously think that life hates me. I've kinda of toyed with the notion a bit lately, but today, I think, confirms it.
So, I was in another car accident today. Yes, another. That will make three in five months time.
So, what happened, you may ask?
Well, on my way to the bank, then my internship this morning, as I was driving down US 31 and I stopped in the right lane, preparing to get onto 465 at Thompson Rd. as the light was red. When it turned green, the three, or so, cars in front of me starting driving, as did I. About...oh...five seconds later, the car in front of me SLAMMED on his breaks because the car in front of him SLAMMED on theirs and decided they didn't want to get onto 465, thus swerving off. I -tried- to SLAM on my breaks, only there was about ten feet, and the roads were quite wet from the crappy weather. So, instead of stopping, I slid right into his bumper. The front portion of my vehicle took a severe beating and it's quite likely my car is totaled. Again.
It gets better....
When the police returned after writing everything up, he informed me that not only was the accident going to be deemed my fault (which I assumed anyhow), but that my license was suspended.
Yup. Suspended.
I got a ticket several months back, and sent a money order in to pay it. Apparently, they did not receive said money order, as I got a letter last week from a collection agency telling me I owed $225 to Marion County Courts (who knew that got sent to a collection agency?). As I didn't have a spare $225 lying around at the time and knew I would have money coming in the next week or so, I decided to wait until I got the check...which was today....and where was I headed when I got into the accident....? Oh, that's right, to the bank....to deposit said check so I could pay off the ticket.
To top all of this off, when my mom got ahold of me today, she was completely terrible to me and made me feel like I -intentionally- got into the accident to inconvenience her and make her spend more money, because obviously that is my goal in life.
So, yeah. Life. Hatred. |

As people may or may not have noticed, I have been MIA for a little over a month. Why, you might ask? Well..several reasons. It all really began about Labor Day...
Reason #1: I decided to go out to Massachusetts for Labor Day. Chris and I were originally going to see eachother sometime in October, but because his work situation changed and my school schedule is/was going to be crazy this new quarter, we opted for Labor Day instead. After looking into flights, it was going to be cheaper (significantly so) for me to fly back the following Thursday. As I was already going to be missing my one day of class, I decided to stay til Sunday. I flew out August 31st and returned September 10th.
Reason #2: After returning on the 10th, I had finals that week. Post-finals, however, I had another 10 day break. As I will not be returning to Massachusetts until December, I decided to go back out there for my break. Sooo...I flew out again on September 14th (Yes, only four days after I had come back) and returned the 24th.
Reason #3: The transmission in my car died. It's fixed now, but it just randomly died on me. I hate this car, the most of any other car, ever. I am somehow hoping that in January it will either A.) get totaled, preferrably with nobdoy in it or B.) get stolen. If not, I will have to sell it and I am not sure I wish to inflict it's wrath upon anyone else.
Reason #4: My new school schedule. This being my last quarter at school, I have an internship. Between my internship and my classes I will be at IBC six days a week. I have class Mon - Thurs, and then my internship Wed - Sat. |

So...in my previous post I stated that I didn't feel like much in my life was terribly interesting and worth posting about. Apparently the higher power(s) heard this and decided to change it.
Yesterday, I was at my parents' house doing a little bit of cleaning for my mother who hasn't been feeling well. I leave her house about 3:40ish by way of SR 37. I'm headed North on 37, talking to Chris on the phone and I stop at a red light at Countyline Rd. I'm sitting, waiting for it to change and I happen to glance up in my rear-view mirror and think, "Wow, that guy looks like he is going kind of fast."...seconds later I think "SHIT He's going to hit me! He can't stop in time!" Sure enough, this 1988 huge tank of a Ford Bronco plows right into the back of my delicate Neon. The driver was -maybe- my age, probably more like 18-19 thug looking guy with two chain smoking girls that looked to be about 15-16 as passengers. Because car accidents scare the hell out of me, when I get out of the car I am shaking uncontrollably. I walk behind my car, which is now over halfway into the intersection and veered to the right, and realize that I have no trunk left to my car. It's just...gone. His Bronco had a slight dent in the bumper. Chances are, since my car is older and not worth much, this has totaled my car. I don't know yet as it hasn't been appraised. After waiting for 23 (yes, twenty-three minutes) the cop finally shows up, gets info, ect. Doesn't ask if anyone is hurt or not, thus doesn't call medics until I tell him that I have a pounding headache and my neck is really starting to hurt. Two firetrucks and an EMT later, I am on a backboard and wearing a neck brace. Yay. They load me into the ambulance and as this is happening, I hear a screech and crash outside. Another accident happened because a woman was staring at -my- accident. They go get that guy on a backboard and brace and load him into the ambulance with me. X-Rays and examinations at Community South later, they decide that the X-Rays look ok, but there is a lot of spasming and essentially a sprain. So, I have a shiny new Mazda 6 rental car, prescription Darvocet and Flexoril, and likely some money for lost wages since I am not supposed to be working for the next few days. To top all of it off, we just had about $600 worth of repairs done on my car last week.
So needless to say, this is the last time I comment that there is nothing to write in my LJ about... |

Here...this is for those who keep complaining and nudging me to update my LiveJournal. Yes, I know I don't update hardly ever. I just...don't typically feel that what I have to say is particularly interesting, thus I don't post it. However, since I keep hearing so much stuff, I'll write something.
Let's see...interesting things in my life...
I will be done with school earlier than expected. I decided to switch to the certificate program at my school for several reasons. First off, I can still become nationally certified as a massage therapist with the program. That was my goal to begin with. Secondly, I very much don't feel justified paying the amount of money I was for the education I was getting. The math course I was signed up for I could have taken in eighth grade. I kid you not, it was that bad. When all was said and done, had I not switched programs, we would be paying 25K for me to go to school. Which might not sound that bad for some people, but if you consider that it was only an 18 month program and the quality of classes we were required to take, that is ALOT of money.
I have an exciting new job at BW3s in Speedway. Yes, back to serving. *sigh* ...but for a serving job, it's not too bad. It's very laid back, and the easiest serving job I've had. No sidework, no silverware, when I get rid of tables, I can actually go home! (...or into the bar and have beer, which seems to be the common choice as of late.) My coworkers seem to be very cool. My managers are nice. It works...or rather, I do, I guess. Whatever.
My sister's life and mine seem to have...swapped dynamics. She currently is dealing with a highly dramatic situation, which is terribly reminiscent of several years ago for me, where as my life is fairly mellow. I guess mellow is a good term. Best I have for the moment.
I've been having to drive to Greenwood every damned day for something. My mother had been going insane while my father was away on his great Canadian fishing adventure. She was terribly lonely and just...moody about -everything-. Everything is a crisis. Hopefully sanity will be restored with his return.
I will attempt to update more. No promises, though. =) |

Thailand is incredible.
Bangkok is unlike anyplace I've ever seen or likely will ever see. It's -HUGE-. There are people everywhere of...all sorts. Thai, European, African, Middle Eastern...you name it, it's there. The city, itself, is exceedingly overwhelming. There is just so much, everywhere. The Thai people are very friendly and -everything- is CHEAP. I have had three massage since I've gotten here and spent less than $30 (for all of them) =)
We just arrived in Ko Samui this morning. It is one of the most beautiful places I've seen in my life. The view I have from my hotel room is just....wow. Words fail me.
I miss everyone terribly. Despite the awesome surroundings, I still wish I could see/talk to everyone. Drop me an email...I should be checking it fairly regularly now! I love you all! |

The Johari Window was invented by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingram in the 1950s as a model for mapping personality awareness. By describing yourself from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking your friends and colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of overlap and difference can be built up.

I know that this has been posted before, but I still felt something when I reread it. Thank you, Jenna... (no, I'm not thanking myself)
I am...
I am the guy who came out to the entire school in his senior speech and got a standing ovation for his courage.
I am the girl who kisses her girlfriend on the sidewalk and laughs at those who glare.
We are the couple who planned and studied and got a damn good lawyer and BEAT the state that wanted to take our child away.
We are the ones who took martial arts classes and carry pepper spray and are just too dangerous to gay bash.
I am the transgender person who uses the bathroom that suits me, and demands that any complaining staff explain their complaint to
my face in front of the entire restaurant -- and shares with my other Trans friends which restaurants don't raise a stink.
I am the mother who told her lesbian daughter to invite her girlfriend over for dinner.
I am the father who punished his son for calling you a fag.
I am the preacher who told my congregation that love, not hate, is the definition of a true follower of God.
I am the girl who did not learn the meaning of "homosexual" until high school but never thought to question why two men might be kissing.
I am the woman who argues (quite loudly and vehemently) with the bigots who insist that you do not have the right to marry or raise children.
We are the high school class who agrees, unanimously, along with our teacher, that love should be all that matters.
If you agree, repost this. Do it. You don't have to be afraid. You can handle it. You're stronger than you think.
I am making a difference. Hate will not win. |

 Oh Great Cthulhu!I have been an extremely sedulous devotee this year. Yesterday, I stopped ![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) julyflower from defiling Lovecraft's grave (-20 points). In May, I rammed a ship into you (sorry Cthulhu!) (-1000 points). When the stars were right, I burnt my copy of the Necronomicon (-75 points). In August, I rescued armbarred from being sacrificed (-200 points). In September, I recruited princess706 as a new cultist (30 points). In July, I visited my relatives in Innsmouth (100 points). In short, I have been very bad (-1165 points) and deserve to have my body used as a host for one of your servitors. Your humble and obedient servant, Karismadreamz
Submit your own plea to Cthulhu! |

Recently, due to circumstances with my job among other things, I have been thinking quite a bit about my life. I'm really rather sick of bouncing around from job to job, not really knowing where I'll be in even a few months from now. Sooo...after some thought I decided to apply to Indiana Business College. I was called for an interview on Tues, which went very well, but there was one main obstacle. Money. Always with the money. I am not the type of person who could work full-time and go to school full-time and perform well at either. The school itself doesn't offer any sort of loans to cover cost of living as they don't offer any sort of housing. This means that if I could not convince my parents to help me out, I could not go to school. This made me rather nervous, I admit. Due to my...ahh...history with school, my mom isn't usually keen on shelling out money for this sort of thing. However, after much discussion with her and proof that I -want- to do this, she agreed! Soooo...providing everything comes out fine on the College's end, I start work on my Associate Degree in Massage Therapy and Bodywork come January 6th!
Oh yeah, and Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!! |

For those who don't already know, my cell phone is currently dead. Not just battery ran out of power, needs to be charged way...but permanent, horrible, water (I think) death. I hope to try to revive it within the next few days. I have a temporary cell phone that I have stolen from my parents...if you would like the number, let me know. You can also get ahold of me at Trader's Point Creamery, or my house phone (both places I can give you the number to if requested). Soon, (was planned on tonight, but I couldn't keep my eyes open) I will make an actual post... |
