*Insert swear words here* I was almost hit by a car!
I just went down to get the mail. At the mailbox, I noticed a little car was driving close to the edge of the road. It was a crappy white car with the whole 'meth' look about it, if you know what I mean. The car then swerved over to the other side of the road and then regained control. I looked back down to get my mail.

Then, just as I was closing the slot, the car came right by me, swerving towards me suddenly. I moved over and it missed me by about a foot.

I didn't get the plates, and the car was a typical crappy little honda thing. The person driving was probably either high or drunk, and could of killed me!

I'm glad it was me and not another person who might not of been so responsive. If I didn't jump over, I would of been hit. What if it had been an old woman? :-(

:mad: :argh: :grr: :nuke: DAMN ADDICT! COULD'VE KILLED SOMEONE!

2. I feel like pounding the keyboard in rage,
or at least doing some Joe Strummer type action on my guitar.

On second thought...

better not do that one...

4. I'm just so P.Od because it could of been an older person or a young kid.
That person is lucky that it was me, and not another. If they would of hit me, my parents would've sued them so fast...
