Another "I almost died" story...

Yeah... yesterday I almost died TWICE in the same five minutes. Stoooopid drivers... First of all... it's been snowing here in the good ol' Rocky Mountains as of late. You would THINK that drivers would have enough sense to drive slower or more cautiously in the snow, wouldn't you? Well, apparently that's not the case. While I was driving my friend home (going about 20mph on the Freeway) the large SUV in front of me decides it wants to go faster and try to change lanes. Anyone know what happens when you turn too quickly in icy conditions? That's right. You slide. So the large vehicle in front of me spins as it slides and is actually moving SIDEWAYS down the freeway as they try to regain control of their car. I was BARELY able to move out of the way in time without sliding myself! You think the other cars would LEARN from this... but NO. 5 minutes later, the EXACT same thing happens. Holy freakin' cow. What the crap is up with that? Yargh... *more angry noises*

Anyway, so it seems I've got yet another cold. I've been sniffling all day as well as doing the last of my Christmas shopping. I spilled a hot pot pie on myself too. It's just been a lovely day, hasn't it? oi...

Oh, and for those wondering, this saturday will most likely be an art day since it is a holiday and all. So... yeah! Happy Holidays everyone!!
