Sometimes I think people slip me drugs..

So I almost died today. Mom and I went grocery shopping and we were halfway out the door when she realized we forgot the ice. I offered to load up the car while she went back (::snicker:: I wasn't going to wait in that mofo long line again). So I got out the door and spotted the car when the GENIUS idea struck me how fun it would be to ride the cart to the car since the parking lot was slightly sloped down and seemed empty. For some reason, lack of better judgment did not make itself apparent, it must have been occupied elsewhere obsessing on college aps. or something similar. So I got on the back of the shopping cart and pushed off... The split second of freedom and childhood mischief was exhilarating until the horn of a Lexus blared at me popping my dream bubble. They missed me by inches, then in shock I almost crashed the cart into a Durango. What a way to go. "She died in a state of being a perpetual dumb ass." The people in the Lexus were shocked, they didn't swear at me or anything - I think THEY were in shock too. I mean, what would you think if a 5'11" brunette teenager on a shopping cart just blazed past your ridiculously expensive vehicle? Where is this mentally challenged girl's mother? I don't know. It would have scared the crap out of me.

So yeah, I feel like the dumbest person in the world but at least I have one of those "the stupidest thing you ever did" stories and "near death experiences." Wow, two for one! Uh no, that isn't something to be proud of...

Shameful Confession of the Day: Looking back I think it would have been funny to have been wearing a cape during the escapade.

I did something worse last year. =P

I went to Hunan's with some freshmen, and they all left and the same time, and I had to pay for everyone somehow. They were waiting for me outside. I was angry but I pretended to shrug it off. I offered the guy who led them all a ride in a shopping cart down that straight pathway. When he got in, I pushed hard and directed him into the parking lot, and at that point a large van stopped INCHES in front of him, horn blaring. I ALMOST KILLED SOMEONE. ;_;
