rainy day madness
Thursday, Jul. 10, 2003 @ 8:27 p.m.

As usual, I waited for the lights to change before I crossed the street. I was halfway there when a lady ran the red and came within four inches of ending my life.

Sadly, I'm officially not a traffic stopping beauty. Worse, I was easily the brightest and shiniest thing out there. I was wearing navy cords with bright red hawaiian patches over the stresses. Lots of shiny jewellery. And for the love of god, I was holding a neon-tie-dyed flashlight umbrella.

That woman had better be having a baby. You can make exceptions for childbirth, but there are to be no exceptions made for supreme idiocy of other kinds.
