Don't you love the calls that start with "Mom, I wasn't involved and I'm fine...". The search and rescue team had training today and they were caravaning back. One car was following another too close. The front car stopped short, the car behind swerved and hit a light pole. All passengers were transported to hospitals, but word is that the worst is a broken leg...I hope that holds true.

CJ was about 2 cars further back, driving alone. He said he pulled over and ran to help. He still sounds so shaken up. Everyone is hanging at HQ waiting for word from the Chief, who went to the hospital to check on the injured folks. CJ wouldn't tell me who was hurt.

That's a good way to start it, though! He's keeping himself out of the danger zone so you don't have a mama bear flipout--just the concerned adult for friends which involves less of a transformation into a befanged beast of revenge and anger.

They must feel awful--the rescuers having to rescue themselves, and over a small thing like not maintaining proper distance. I wonder if they're getting mortality shakes on top of everything. Poor kids and the adults involved.

Restoring the computer is...interesting and might just take the rest of my goddamn life. But it's the best choice.

I just talked to my co-chair and found out that her son (A) was in the front car. The kid (D)who was the center of the promotion drama (didn't get the position he felt he deserved which went to A) was the driver of the car that hit the pole. Haven't heard more on injuries.

Just knowing who the two drivers were means the drama is going to increase exponentially. D is a jerk who takes no personal responsibility for anything, so I can only imagine that this will all be A's fault. A could have been driving like the best driver ever or been hanging his ass out a window, it doesn't matter - from what I'm hearing, D didn't allow himself enough stopping room. The sad side is that I've been driven by A and he is a so-so driver. Add testosterone and animosity...they are lucky it could have been so much worse.

Suzi, so glad he's okay and I hope any injuries are quickly healed.

So I've got SAD kicking in and PMS piling on, just as yet another semi-promising guy from OKC turns out to have no chemistry for me (or vice versa). What a terrible alphabet soup it's making. Wish I had one of my Bitches here to pet my hair and snuggle me. I'd make popcorn and we could watch Ginger Snaps Back.

x-post. Ughh, I hope for everyone's sakes there's no more drama.

So very much feel your pain. Have been on several chemistry-less okcupid dates lately. Ugh. Thinking I should get my glow light thing out, too. I like the grey here but it's hard sometimes.

Meara, I read your post too fast and was trying to get connect okcupid dates with a glow light and got really lost. Maybe I'm not getting dates cause I don't have a glow light. Then I reread. Ok, back to getting no dates cause I put no effort in.

I'm glad CJ is safe. Hopefully the drama will resolve itself. Even better, hopefully, D will go on to learn a bit better driving skills.

smonster and meara, do please take care of yourselves. The glows will help you.

I say you upgrade that glow light to a glow cloud (all hail) t /Nightvale

You know, I never thought I'd say this, but I am so fucking tired of beer.
