I felt like I was in my own fanfic last night!
« on: January 12, 2008, 07:17:08 AM »
LOL I have to share this story because it's so something I would write...

I was on my way home from school and sitting at a red light at an interesection of a highway when on the radio as they were doing the traffic report, the guy mentions "There was just a fatal crash at the interesction of center valley parkway and route 309 involving a tractor trailer and a car so avoid that area.

Well that's EXACTLY where I was. That intersection and there was no accident anywhere but the creepy thing is at the light waiting on the other side of the intersection was a big tractor trailer! Yikes!! lol  :o

I felt like I was in a scene from Final Destination or something. We were the only two cars at the light so that freaked me out so bad I actually turned the opposite direction from where I was supposed to be going lmao Weirdness!

Just thought i'd share lol

nice Mare. That is really creepy. and LMAO at you turning the other way to avoid the truck, but I would have probably done the same thing.

almost makes me want to write a supernatural suspense. where the boys are trapped in some sort of alternate dimension.

LOL I know, right? I was thinking of including a scene like that in a story of some kind now.

Oh, that's freaky!  Now, not knowing what Final Destination is (bad me, I'm sure) I can't understand the comparison, but freaky nonetheless!

Wow that is super freaky. Good thing you got that sign...from the traffic guy. It almost makes it seem like it saved you or the tractor drivers life. I get chills thinking about it!!! Good one on turning around.

Final Destination was about a group of friends that were on there way somewhere on a plane, but one of them had a Precognition about there plane crashing with them on it, so he starts freaking out and that gets him and his friends thrown off the plane. About five minutes later the plane crashes and b/c they got off the plane, death itself starts coming after them one by one.....

Hope that helps ^_^

OMG Mare, that's super freaky! I'm so glad you turned because it was totally like Final Destination. lol

Glad you're okay. :)

although, if we're talking final destination, then Mare is actually like what's his name that got off the plane and survived so now you need to be careful Mare!!! Death might be coming for you. lol

Once I almost got T-boned by a Butternut Bread truck (well, I would have, if I had gone when my light turned green, but thankfully I looked and saw that the Butternut Bread truck was going to fly on through the blatantly red light), and then a few months later, there was a Butternut Bread truck sticking out in the middle of the road that I could have hit if I wasn't paying much attention.  So now whenever I see a Butternut Bread truck, I freak out a little.  It's kind of like a little inside joke I have with myself, but my stomach seriously does clench up when I see one LOL.

I hope Death isn't stalking you, Mare! :P
