As a few of you may already know, and the rest of you will have no clue, I was involved in a car accident about two weeks ago. See, I went to Michigan to spend a week with my boyfriend, and on the second day, when we were headed on our way to go see a movie, we got lost, and then my door got rammed by a big, red chevy going about 55 miles an hour. Needless to say, that wasnt a very fun experience. I ended up in the hospital with three broken ribs, a punctured lung and a lacerated liver. My boyfriend made it out of the crash with a few minor cuts and scrapes and a lifetime or two worth of bruises, but was otherwise fine. His car didnt fare so well, though.. The windows on the passenger side got smashed in, and the door itself was crushed in 20 inches (thus the ribs), and its going to be totaled if it hasnt been already. Im alright now... At least relatively so. I spent five days in the hospital, which was hell, and then another week with my boyfriend before i got the okay from a doctor to go home. Anyway, Im going to be out of school for a while still because of the ribs, which are killing me, but im afraid to take the pain medication they perscribed me, because it makes me really sick. The amount of response I got was insane... I just got home last night, and got online thismorning, and I've been talking to people all day, getting the most amazing outpour of sympathy and caring. Makes me feel good on the inside. As another plus, my boyfriends family has basically adopted me, they love me to death, and are already trying to work out another time to see me. Maybe Christmas. We'll see. In any case, Dave might as well start saving up for a ring, because its officially inevetable that we're going to spend the rest of our lives together. And, hey, if it took a car accident to bring us all together, I think, in the grand scheme of things, its worth it.

Besides, now I have an excuse (no matter how weak) for falling behind on all my commenting ^_^;; Still no promise for new work... Im too wrapped up in the moment in getting my book published... You dont know about that, though, do you? Well, Dave and I wrote a book and are now well on our way to finding a publishing agent (in sum), we just have to do some final editing and send our manuscript in.

Anyway, theres your little update on me. Hope you're all doing better than I am. Ta ^_^
