of amazing porportions!
my day was planned to the T today.
8- 12:10 go to school
12:10-1 eat lunch with Michelle and Andrew
1-5 go to work chill with Michael.
5-6:30 make pasta salad for BBQ tomorrow
6:30 - 11:00 go out on date with Andrew.

How my day really went.
8-12:10 school
12:30-4 lacerate head on trunk of car run to hospital. Stitch self back together.
4- death confined to house since im an Invalid

Now I realize that this seems odd. So I care to offer a brief (yet humorous) account of exactly how my day went down injury forward.

Imagine this, school had just ended for the day and I have a bunch of art work I am supposed to tote over to the library for display purposes. I voluntereed to take it since I needed to go to work anyway. Since I had lots of decorating and bridge making left to do for the Summer Reading Club. So there I am standing there holding these photo things and it starts to pour!!! Now I can't takew the photos out in the rain so my friends mother offered to let me put them in her trunk and then she would help me delever them to the library.

They pulled the car back as close to the school doors as they could then I was making mad dashes from the art room to the trunk of the car. Lastly I come out with my pyrimid that I made figuring that it would be nice to take home as well. I go running it out to the car and see Michelle standing my the trunk. I thought that was weird but I dashed out full sprint running style to toss the art in the back of the car when what do I see but the corner of the trunk slamming into my head.

Michelle had been holding the trunk a little lower so that the photos inside wouldnt get wet!! me beign me didn't notice the diffrence in height and slammed the side of my head into the car. I then gingerly placed my pyrimid in the trunka nd consiecous that everyone was staring at me but not realizing why.

Slowlwy I reached my hand up to my head feeling my forehead gingerly and noticing that it felt kind of warm and bruised hurt slkightly. I lower my hand from my head and after a few seconds realize that my arm is now covered in blood and its dripping down my face. (Head wounds DO bleed a lot)

Well that was all well and good me being me puts my head in the car and asks her mom for some paper towels while trying to prevent my blood from dripping on the seats ( a humourous sight i was later told). Once I had half a roll of paper towels stuck to my face I become really aware that everyone is staring at me and I laugh. yes despite the blood and excruciating pain radiating off of me I started laughing and asked if she owuld run me home.

She did liek the kind sole she was. Mind you this whole time Andrew is staring at me gaping not sure what to do. One of hem tossed an ice pack at me and andrew held it against my head. I arrive home and start to get out of the car and they ask where I am going. As if it was the most obvious task in the world I ssay I'm gonna go climb in the window. All of a sudden I had four sets of hands pulling me back in the car.

In the end we ended up at Chilton with my father in tow andrew Michelle her mother and my brother. A humourous crowd since there was no one elsein the ER While mydad was busy flipping out I calmly sat there while this guy sewed up my head. It was wonderful. I am proud to say that I was so very calm while I was in the ER they actually thought I was going into shoc, I prolly was but I'll never admit it. The doctor was really skeeved out when he was sewing up my head and i started laughing and couldnt stop. Not my fault he was the one stichtin up my face. I thought iut was quiet humorous. I mean he was tying me all up in square knots!

The Endy
Love Andy

This reads like the screenplay of a new horror movie, "Attack of the Killer Trunk Lid" (or, as it would be known under its British title, "Attack of the Killer Boot Lid"). Too bad Ed Wood and Bela Lugosi aren't around anymore to make it (perhaps Wes Craven might be interested).;-D

With your school year about to end, I hope this in no way puts a damper on your summer. Take care!

It's really sucky your day got all screwed up by blood and pain and such, but, ehh, at least you seem to have taken it in good spirit. Umm... Well, all things considered, I guess. Smile

Anyway, please tell us more about Andrew, your would-be date! Sounds wayy interesting!

Also, I miss talking to ya, lil treehugger, I always enjoyed our chats. If you have some spare time one day, it would be fun to hear what's been going on in your life (beyond which your objects your head has recently impacted with, of course Smile )...

Take GOOD care my friend.

That sounds absolutely painful. Glad to hear that you are ok, though (except for a few stitches).

It would seem that Andrew was more than willing to help nurse you back to health so I guess the date wasn't a total loss. Smile Perhaps he will also be willing to tie you up in square knots sometime when things are a bit more private. ::-)
