Everybody quiet! I have something important to say!

As you have probably noticed this isnt a Facebook page, and no amount of wishing on your part will change that. I think the most enduring feature of this Blog is the fact that I am limited to choosing 100 (and no more!) people with whom I get to share my deepest, most innermost, boring thoughts. As of right now the numbers of "friends" are low, but as word of my blog travels I am sure the requests to be added will just start pouring it. At that time I will probably have to start purging the people who are reading my Blog in order to either make themselves feel better about their life, or create unneeded relationship drama- because at that point in time my Blog will have become much like Facebook for comfort.

I have a feeling however that it is going to take me a decent amount of time to reach 100 friends. As of yet my time in Fredericton has yielded 0 new friends. Infact, my contact with the outside world is pretty much limited to my 2 hours at the gym and conversing with the landlord, or the person ringing me through at Sobeys. I have become so desperate for a friend (besides Cleo and Charles..) that I let a girl  in the parking lot of the apartment back her car directly into mine so that we might engage in pleasantries and exchange contact information! My plan almost worked except for the fact that she was totally devastated that she annihilated my passenger side door and proceeded to start crying. I sense she will be too full of drama for my liking and so my search for a friend continues.

For those of you who are unable to read between the lines, I didnt actually LET someone smash into my car. I was driving through the parkinglot, minding my own business, and almost had a heart attack when the two cars collided. Maybe it is just me, but whenever I have been in a car accident I become the most optimistic. I think to myself, "Oh, the damage cant possibly be that bad...it was just a giant crunch that threw my car lurching to the side...". Yeah well, here is a news flash, it always is that bad, if not sometimes worse, than you expect.

 Above you is what $2500 worth of damage looks like. I wish I could have recorded what $2500 worth of damage SOUNDED like, because there is nothing quite like the sound of some solid metal on metal to get one's heart racing...

And just for fun, and to show how unfair life can REALLY be- here is what her back end looked like.

 Perhaps if there is a bright side to this all it is that since I now am insured under New Brunswick and not Manitoba it means that I didnt have to deal with MPI. Aside from the initial fury that consumed when when I first saw my side door the entire process was easy and hassle free, one might say even pleasant. Anyways, thank god for insurance (good, non public insurance), the car gets fixed on Oct 25th, at 0 cost to me. In the mean time I get to drive around feeling slightly paranoid and hoping that people dont judge me as a bad driver or less of a human being based on the unsightliness of  my passenger side door.
