so friday night i'm coming home with my boy and his two cousins and a deer explodes off my windshield from out of nowhere. i mean literally....nowhere. nobody in the car saw it coming. i ate much glass and had a deer leg whack me on the forehead, but we actually were able to get the fender bent back out enough to drive it the rest of the way home. a nice sheriff came along and shot the fucking thing in the head for me, which cheered me up a little. however, now the poor little honda civic is parked, waiting for a windshield, new fender and new hood. so we're driving a full-size sierra which gets INCREDIBLY poor gas mileage compared to the civic. it takes me almost 10 bucks a day to get to work and back, and i only live 30 mins from work. rawr.
meanwhile, in addition to a tremendous amount of broken glass (the head, a foot and a leg came thru the windshield) inside the car, the dashboard's trashed from the hoof scratching it up, and there are actually gross little pieces of deer meat all over the interior. and some fur.
everybody keeps telling me how lucky i was, since i wasn't speeding (for a change..was only going about 45) and actually WAS wearing my seatbelt, and that i only got smacked by the leg and head and not the hoof. however, i haven't been able to sleep for the last 2 nights cuz every time i close my eyes, i see the deer coming thru the windshield, and last night i had to drive home after dark, after watching some fireworks, and was extremely skittish the whole way back to his uncle's house. we spent the night here b/c i refused to drive back home after dark over the same stretch where we were assaulted by a freaking DEER!
honestly, the stupidest things happen to me.
i feel much better having vented some frustration though. and i get tomorrow off work. :D
