mondays are bad for triton

yea he title speaks for itsself at about 3:30 pm central time today i was involved in a carcrash! :( im ok, i managed to get off relativly unscathed, just a broken collarbone and some stitches on my elbow. what happened was on my way home to school a car was coming from the other direction on this gravel road and i got over more on my side, caught some lose gravel and skidded then fishtailed and rolled it into a ditch, i was very lucky nothing worse happened! thankfully one of my friends came along just as i got the seatbelt undone and stood up, the car was on its side so i flagged him down while looking out the passenger window lol, he took me back to the school and from there to home then the hospital. i have pics too. my poor jimmy is pretty much totaled too here are the pics

Man what a tough guy. I remember being in a car crash earlier this year, and all I got was glass to the head, and I was still screaming like crap.

On another note, which arm is in the sling? Can you still solder? Or, less importantly, write and do school work? :D

Hope you get better

:shock: Damn! Thank *insert your high religious figure's name here* you only sustained relatively minor injuries! (a broken collar bone and stiches is no laughing matter, but it could have been a LOT worse. *whew*)

Hey at least it wasn't the '54! :)

yea i know, im glad it wasnt the olds too but i feel sorry for the jimmy. good thing is i didnt get a ticket and my insurance wont go up, bad thing is jimmy is toalled and we only had liability insurance on it so its :roll: and im not that tough really, just good at dealing with pain and insanely level headed, i can break bones and be like "oh, i think i hurt something" lol. its my left arm in a sling i will be able to write and probably solder if i want, lol. im just glad to be alive and relativly unharmed. but let me tell you, going over in a vehicle that size is not a thing i would recomend lol. its kind of a sensory overload, you have all this noise and confusion and movement its kinda freaky

Wow, poor car, poor you. How many times did you roll over and can it be compared to something else in life? Yay for seatbelts!

I'm not being rude, but your arm injury is visible in your keyboardmanship lol :P

Damn, that's one hell of a crash! I'm suprised you broke any bones. The worst I got aftere I started wearing my seatbelt was a scratch from glass in my last accident (don't ask). Hope you're bone mends quickly, and good to see you're taking this well.

Ouch, reminds me that about a month ago one of my friends flipped their car...Then again, they normally drive like an idiot so it wasn't too unexpected
Anyways, hope your insurance fixes it

Jeez, that's got to suck, but it could of been worse. My dad has been in quite a few crashes when he was younger (before I was born), but I haven't. (because I don't drive, lol)
I'd imagine right now you wish you were a cuttlefish...
