*cough* Fuck.

Long story short: Something up there simultaneously hates and loves me.

Hates me because as I was driving to school I hit a patch of diesel fuel - diesel fuel! - that had spilled onto the road, ended up skidding across the lane and hitting someone else and getting taken to the hospital to get checked for whiplash. Loves me because neither of us were seriously hurt and the worst that happened to me was that they had to give me some oxygen due to inhaling the gunk in the airbag that makes it expand and gets everywhere, and I just finished Febreezing my stuff to get the smell out.

Hates me because now my car is possibly totaled (though we'll know by tomorrow whether or not the insurance company bastards will fix it or total it) and hence I have no means of independent transportation for a while. Loves me because I wasn't cited for this accident and it was essentially declared not my fault. And no, this time I was not speeding. There was no way I could have prevented it from happening.

But still, two of these in 8 months is too much even if neither was my fault. Though in a sad sort of way I was much more together this time than last time and as of about 3 this afternoon I'd done everything I needed to do insurance wise.

Oh, and right after the accident a guy who was pastor was right there and stopped to help. A pastor. That almost tops the cop being literally within 20 feet of me when I wiped out in March. I wish I'd gotten that guy's name so I could thank him.

If I do have to get a new car I half expect them to run away from me, saying "Oh no not that girl!" Honestly, this isn't fair, I'm not a maniac driver (I usually go slower than everyone else), I just am having a streak of bad luck coupled with stupidly good luck. I can't win. *sigh*

*nods*

"We fight against the tyranny of the majority."

Watching a news program featuring about a PBS special that will be tonight about the Intelligent Design debate, and they have John Jones, the judge who ruled against Intelligent Design, there for an interview. He said the above quote, and all I could think was "That's how the judicial system should work."

And he was a conservative Republican, too, which was the kicker. I actually just made an argument in a paper last week that the right to have same-sex marriage is guaranteed under the 14th Amendment, but given the current state of the legal system I don't think it would win in court. But with more people like this John Jones -- people who actually believe in the Constitution and enforce it regardless of their personal beliefs -- then this country might just be able to move forward again.

Eddie Izzard. Easily. See this skit on the Army and squirrels applying makeup (yes, they're related). The comment about the "First Battalion Transvestite Brigade" parachuting in and freaking out the enemy always makes me roll on the floor laughing. And might I add he looks smashing in makeup and heels. XD
