Adrenaline

[gamecat]

I crashed my car last night at 85 mph.

I did a 640 degree spin, stabilized her, and pulled onto the side of the road, and then proceeded to relieve myself on the side of the road. I kept my cool until i realized what happened.

I broke down.

There were no tears. I saw that i just spun out on the freeway after a 85 mph collision. I realized I was the first live birth after 5 miscarraiges some twenty years ago. I felt invincible. I leapt up on top of the hood of my car and made obscene gestures at the sky. I shouted about being invincible at deities I didn't believe in.


Has adrenaline ever made you act that wierd?

Can't say that I have, but I did a similar thing a couple of years ago, though not quite as spectacular.

I was driving home down a dark road, and this truck was coming the other way, and he only had one headlight on the front of his vehicle that worked. Hence, all I saw was a single headlight coming towards me. I got over to the shoulder as far as I could, and my tire ended up dipping off the edge. I turned the car back into the road, and when the tire popped back up, it spun the steering column all the way around, and I did a couple of donuts in the road before I ended up landing in the ditch on the opposite side. The only visible damage was to the bumpers, and two tires - one was pulled off the rim, and the other went flat. It broke the timing belt, though.

While I was spinning around on this road, I kept thinking "gee, this is kind of fun, but I'd rather be doing it at an amusement park."
