So, I bet you didn't think I'd do anything crazy in order to have things to write for NaBloPoMo, did you?

Well, I did. Apparently.

I had a prang today (I prefer that word, because it sounds a lot less dire than 'accident'). Was on the way to Officeworks to get my besties manuscript bound so I can read it wherever I am, and the way you have to get to that place is a pain in the arse, involving going past it and then doubling back to get into the carpark. So I was waiting in the right hand turn lane, and I saw that there's a business with a big, open car park space which would be perfect to turn around in, and I think, well, when the right arrow goes green, cars won't be coming the other way, will they?

Of course, I didn't even consider that they would be turning LEFT out of the side-street, did I?

In short, am fine. Car has a bit of a ding. Truck driver tried to suggest that all these bad things had happened to his truck because of this minimal impact. I call shenanigans, but apparently that's for the insurance company to decide.

Insurance premium will probably go through the roof. Will have to pay out moneys. Am a crap driver. No, really. I admit it. I've been driving now for seven years (including L's), and I've had four accidents. Minor ones, always my fault, from not looking properly or going too fast or whatever.

Am a crap driver.


By the way, in case any of the Miranda and/or Richard E. Grant fans on my flist didn't see, I posted fic yesterday ;).

My Heart, My Life | NC-17 | Farqhuar/Susan, from St. Ives/All for Love.

Good warm up for [livejournal.com profile] yuletide, right? I enjoyed writing it, even though I know like, five people probably know the fandom. Bunny demanded to be written. Was quite bizarre to write porny fanfic without the use of 'cock' or 'cunt', but I managed it. Didn't think it would be IC for Farquhar to think in those words, since he had such trouble with 'your cheeks are as soft as a July peach' in the film ;).

*goes to sign up for [livejournal.com profile] yuletide, continue work on [livejournal.com profile] smutty_claus, make a banner for a friend, and beta Incapa's fic. Hmm, and sleep, eventually.

Whew. I'm so glad you came out in one piece and unharmed.
Bloody truck drivers tend to do that.
A friend of mine once screeched alongside a schoolbus in the school parking lot when it was pulling out. I swear to God it wasn't blinking when we drove past it.
Bus driver tried to say otherwise. Despite being th one who got away with a scratch in the paint instead of smashed lights.

Anyway. *hugs*

Oh, the insurance adjusters will be loads of fun. A previous car was be-accidented by my ex, and for a broken headlight (just the lgass, not the actual light), a single inch-deep dent at the top/front center of the hood, and a broken-off clasp for the hood-holder-upper? The insurance estimate was $1600.

WTF.

*has been driving 22 years with a total of two not worth reporting dings where other people 1. backed into my back bumper or 2. stopped just as they touched me*

*likes that luck and hopes to keep it*
