well, i've put a dent in the resale value on my car - literally. out shopping for greg's b-day and running errands and it started pouring down rain. the stoplight at southport & madison was out - am i the only person in indy that knows you're supposed to treat that situation as a 4-way stop? so, i managed to get through that intersection and was going along southport rd when the light at shelby turned red. there were 3 or 4 cars at the stop, i put on the brakes, but the road was wet and i just skidded along....*BAM!*...plowed into the back of a guy...i had tried to get into the turn lane, since there was no one there, but steering was for naught. so i just hit the corner of his car....he pulled up and turned on to shelby - at first i thought he was leaving, cuz he was going pretty fast...but he pulled over and got out and looked at his car...just a bit of a scratch on his back bumper - my car was another story. i asked if he wanted me to call the cops...he told me not to worry about it, it was just a $50 car he drove around. *whew!* so at least i don't have to worry about it fucking up my insurance or anything.

the totally weird thing about it? i had dido in the CD player, and was listening to track #9 - "Slide" and she's belting out "don't sliiiiiiiiiide!" when i plowed into the guy...

now i've got a headache and i'm tired and cranky and ARGH!
