I held out on all of you. I'm sorry, folks, I shoulda said something earlier.
So last week I were in a car axey-dent.
It happens like this: my workbud had taken me to the car-repair place to pick up my beast. He needed a guide back, since he's unfamiliar with the OC. (It's easy to get lost in the OC. Most of the OC looks like the rest of the OC, which is to say it's like ONE GIGANTIC FUCKING MALL SURROUNDED BY EUCALYPTUS TREES.) I'd planned to return to work anyway and so off we went. Three blocks short of work somebody cuts somebody off and we're stuck at a dead halt under a green light.
Enter lady with baby, driving car, not paying attention.
BANG.
I not hurt, friend not hurt too bad, my poor car? She hurt. Try four grand on for size. Doesn't fit? Me neither. Good news: all of us had insurance, no one had to go to the hospital, no one lost control and acted like a dork, and the Accident Lady's insurance will pay for my rental. Yay! Wish it payed for my gas. Boo.
It was Accident Lady's first accident, I think. She was seriously shaken up, in tears. I tole her we all okay, no big oWs, and any accident you walk away from ain't that bad. At least I got her to laugh.
Today I start me some schoolin'. Gots to get my taxes in order, bleah, and work's huge right this minute. No new arts from Berbie for a while. I'll try to keep kickin' in other ways.
*hugs you all*

Thank you, Jace. Is good to hear your voice and know you're there. I miss you too!
May your moving be swift and easy and filled with lots of cute man in tight outfits!!
Glad everybody was alright - even if your ride isn't saying as much....lulz
Take it easy man -
<3
Thank you, lovely artist person!
If everyone could who gets in an accident responded by caring about and reassuring the person who's fault it was, then maybe we'd all actually deserve the respect everyone automatically thinks they're owed :)
Glad to call you a friend :)
Does that mean new car on the horizon or just a repaired car?
*hugs* When I am free of illness, in a week or so, let's plot a get-togedda for dogstompage! All three of us are feeling too goddamn housebound. I want to hear all your stories, sir!
It looks like there's probably good trailers around you and around me...but I don't know about between us. Shall we scour about www.localhikes.com and see what we can find?
Excellent idea, sir! Let us scour, but I can by all means head up your way. No reason we can't have us a big adventure and pick you up on the road!
Sundays are great for me! Just let me know when you're all fed up with chicken soup ;)
Will do, babe, count on it! The pups are demanding an adventure!
Exciting things happening in Berbieworld!
It's good to hear everyone is okay/insured though :0
Thank you, sweetbadgerbean. Exciting, let me tell you. I could do with a month or two of dullness. It may sound weird, but I am looking forward to a year of work, home, puppies, me. No big adventures for a while. Even if that means holidays alone. I think, for once, I'm cool with that prospect. Huh. Self-realization brain pop. Right here!
*ahem* Whatever. Thank you!! *hugs*
NOW where's all the art!! i want it now!! hehe-haha i am a joker indeed completely!
....*hugs*
I'm glad you are okay :) Although you seem waaaaaay too happy/bubbly about it all.
and reply!! :D
Stay well!
