Time for True Story Tuesday! Oh, yeah! Made it on Tuesday three times in a row!
First off, let me just say, I am SO STOKED that Chris O'Donnell AND LL Cool J are guest starring on NCIS, as I speak type. LOVE IT!
Ahem. Moving on.
True Story Tuesday. Back in the day, like 10 years ago, lol, my friend Brenda and I went cruising at Paintsville every single weekend. Well, almost anyway. We were obsessed with it. I put 30,000 miles on my car driving a square and wasted oh so much gas. Didn't matter back then, though! Bring on the fun, friends, and the fellas!
One night, my car was out of commission, for some reason, I can't remember now what was wrong. Probably brake pads, since I went through them like gasoline! I took my dad's old Chevy S-10. The square kind, before they went "round" and back square again! First off, I can't believe my dad even let us take his truck, and secondly, I can't believe I made the tight corners without totally wiping out EVERYTHING in my way. I did have a few run ins, but I'll save those for another TST.
Well, there was one guy there that had a little too much to drink, which was unusual, because most of the people there were too young to drink, and wouldn't risk it in the plaza anyway because the police were always cruising through. I was coming up the "short side" as we called it, and all of a sudden I felt a "BUMP" on the back right side. I look in my rear view mirror, and the drunk guy was LAYING ON THE ROAD in between me and the car behind me! "Oh, Lord, I've killed him!" I scream.
I jump out of the truck and am freaking out, picturing the rest of my life in jail, etc. because it is always the ones who don't get in trouble who get sent to jail for life, you know. Brenda is about to take an asthma attack. All in vain. Turns out, the drunk guy WALKED into the back of the truck bed, I DID NOT run over him. Everyone else thought it was most hilarious, except me. I was FURIOUS! Here I thought I had killed the guy, turns out he just is stupid and WALKED into me and nearly gave me a heart attack!
Thankfully I didn't have to take the truck anymore. At least not that I recall, anyway. It seemed to bring bad luck. Aww..... the good ole days!
For more True Story Tuesday's, or to join in on the fun yourself, go visit Rachel and Mr. Daddy at Once Upon A Miracle.

Seriously, real life is WAY stranger than fiction! How on earth did he time that just right to give you a scare?!?! And I thought crazy stuff only happened to me :)
Jeepers, glad it was just a moment of stupidity on his part, rather than jail for you. I bet it would be kinda tough to blog from there, huh? ;)
Thanks for sharing - that was hilarious!
Good thing your dad doesn't read the blog, Lisa. He would be in cardiac failure 10+ years after the fact because I'm SURE he doesn't know about this more than eventful night in the life of his eldest daughter. Too funny - in hindsight but I'm sure it WAS NOT funny to you at the time. And, ahem, Aunt Willie is learning some things she didn't know either........
