So... yeah, I'm back... for now.
Isn't it strange, how sometimes it's the things you do to hurt someone that makes you closer to them? So I went to Mexico this summer, with a local church, and built houses for destitute Mexicans. Among those people was a girl who goes to my school that I never really talked to, she was new the year before anyway. This girl has always been at youth group and stuff, but I had never really talked to her. Then one day, I decided I should bring my friend with me, and somehow I started getting to know this girl halfway through my friend, and I don't really understand. But anyways, 4 us were going to go to my house after youth group. On the way home, I tried to pass this girl 100 yards before a stoplight going 50 where the speed limit was 30... and needless to say there were complications.
Good news is, I hit her and we just kept driving to my house and no one was hurt. Better news is, my parents didn't kill me. Great news is, I didn't have to involve the police or my insurance company. The damage ended up being about $1000 and my parents are loaning me the money. I'll be working my ass off for the next 6 months sacking groceries at Hy-Vee, but that's the price I'll have to pay.
The ironic thing is, we are way closer friends now than we ever would have been. I just think it's crazy that I can smash someone's car then go hang out with them on weekends...
