urm...if we knew what kind of accident you were in and how you were...it'd be better for us to advise...




...or do what i do and have a Top Gear marathon. that always helped me when i was down.

briefly.

i went driving. i rolled off a hill. 3 random trees saved me. a few other random things saved me from terrible injury. i crawled out of my car and up a cliff with only a broken finger, minor concussion, bad scrapes, and poison oak. the car is totalled. i havent told my brother. my parents arent too upset but my entire life is shaken.

Oh man, that sucks. IMO you should just browse JW when alone, but do try and hang around with your friends as much as possible. If you don't have too many real-life friends, you always have us here. Sorry to hear you had an accident! :cry:

im glad to hear your alright, altedza. i know southern cali has some amazingly fun winding roads... but dangerous. god, i cant even imagine careening off an edge... shitting myself mabey...

as for friends; i know that we here at JW are here for you. i also know that reading is much less comforting then a good friend in person. even among the bad habits you mentioned within your friends... (i hope).

i pray there is someone near for you.

im sorry to hear the car was totalled... luckily it served its safety job superbly .
i felt quite a bit of sorrow when i severely damaged my old Saab... like a part of me had died...

Maybe you should get some new friends to go along with that new car. As I said before, you always have us here. We care about you because you're one of us. 8)

hey man,

sorry to hear bout the accident and your car. i had a pretty traumatic accident a few months ago, it was my first accident ever and i was totally shocked! i know how u feel.

all that matters is that you're ok, things happen for a reason and somebody up there obviously likes u (as u said, u never close ur plastic sun roof cover)

so chill out for now, it jus feels worse when u think about it so try to lay low and relax. maybe buying a new car will help u take ur mid off it, maybe it won't. it's up to you. maybe go and try and make some new friends through a common interest (i.e. night clubs, library, whatever tickles ur fancy)

but as for ur bro, u should tell him. he'll care more bout u than the car so nothing to worry about.

hope everything is ok,

- aks
