Dying

An unfinished draft
CIRCA 2012
For your viewing pleasure

---------------------------


You may have noticed that I took a break from blogging.
Why?
Oh, the usual excuses.... school, work, illness, travelling...

And my mother hit me with the car.

Yeah, that's right.

I was hit with a motor vehicle. In a Walmart parking lot. On my Christmas vacation. By my own mother!

What? Are you alright? Were you in the hospital all this time?! Are you permanently handicapped? 

The tale begins...

So I'm walking along after a day of shopping with my mom, coming out of Walmart, carrying a bag of slimfast bars. While I'm walking past the back of the car, mom pushes the automatic open hatch button and watches as the damage unfolds.

What it looked like:


What it felt like: 








The scene: 






















She took me to the urgent care. 
My eye swelled shut and my head was bleeding in two places and I got a face X-ray and some liquid stitches on my nose.


It remains my most exciting story to date. 










I'm Not Dead

Hello, world!

It has been almost exactly two years since my last post!

As a side note, some people (Patrick Sells) are really invested in this blog.

A lot has happened.

I got married!



Learned very quickly that I knew nothing about anything






I was in the hospital! Several times!



How do you summarize two whole years? 

I'm scrolling through my own Twitter feed right now reliving the past two years and wondering which stories I should tell

There's quite a pile to choose from 

I had my first encounter with a scorpion in my own bathroom and not even in nature and it was horrible 




Also I threw up during a tornado warning while my roommate alternated between crying and packing up her jewelry 







You know, just college stuff


Also, lets change the name of this blog to the UNDERdocumented stories of college life because I graduate next year 

Also also

Drawing with a Mac trackpad makes your fingers cramp like 








See you in two years :)
