Among other things, I nearly got into my first serious car accident, but thankfully there's no damage to either party. I was waiting at the second to last stoplight on my way to my morning carpool meeting spot when I felt a sickening lurch forward as the car behind me. The guy who had bumped into the back of my car had drifted forward slowly, so the impact was fairly low. For the remainder of the red light I saw through the rearview mirror that he was holding his face in his hands and hitting his hands against his forehead. He followed me into the carpool meeting spot parking lot and apologized profusely. I noticed that he had some sort of brace on his right foot and ankle; perhaps he felt a pain there and accidentally let go of the brake? We inspected the nonexistent damage to both of our cars, and I assured him that he didn't need to worry about anything and to be more careful before he drove off.
As shallow as this is about to seem, he was pretty cute and came across as being very sincere. I should have gotten his number (telephone and licence plate) but I didn't because I didn't want to cause more trouble for everyone as there was no damage. After this incident, I have determined that as of this year, I have talked to a guy approximately once every three months. Not bad for a six year attendant of the Nunnery :P
It has suddenly struck me that if I ever want to figure out what bits of the Incredibles Michael Giacchino actually scored, I have to listen in depth to his other scores to familiarize myself more with his style. Really I am attempting to use semi-intellectual rationalizations to justify my soundtrack binge habits and my incredible urge to go get the seasons one and two Alias soundtracks. Who knew that there could be hope for balancing techno electronica with traditional live orchestra...
One of these days I really will make my Michael Giacchino fangirl T-shirt.
I have only a few more hours left to enjoy being my current age. The thought is somewhat unsettling, and it will probably take me a few more months for me to realize that I don't have much longer to be a teenager. How strange...
A lot of people seem to be having their birthdays, i.e. within May 20-May 25; I can think of at least nine: my advisor, Alex, Renee, Grant, T, Chrissie, Emily M., the drama teacher,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
zedhaus. This is probably the only reason why I haven't forgotten any of them!
