I am a tad ashamed to put this story out in the world, but alas....

An embarrassing but crucial continuation to this post...

So I was so kindly informed, or rather reminded that I have made these mistakes before... Once, I was about to wander into a gas station, leaving my keys in the car, with the car running. Luckily Kailey was there to knock some sense into my spacey brain. That very same visit to the gas station, I attempted (without any intention of doing so, mind you) to leave without paying for my delicious beverage. Wow I was on a roll. This however, is not my worst offense. No, no. All of this talk reminded me of yet another event.... This one is the worst and probably the funniest. I have only told a select few, so it's your lucky day my friends. I can't believe I am admitting this, but I must come clean.

So one stressful evening last fall, (Just keep in mind I was taking 15 credits, engaged, planning a wedding, living long distance from my fiance, and a smattering of other things Id like to just forget) I had forgot something in my apt at Oakridge, and of course I was running late. So I turned off my car in the parking lot (I just left my keys in the ignition because of course that will make things faster) and hurried inside to grab this said item. As I ran back out the door I heard ferocious honking. Someone was backing my car up hill and turning into another car... my thoughts were racing thinking "ahhhhh my car is being stolen." With more careful notice I realize that nope, there was surely no one in the drivers seat??? What was going on? I was thoroughly confused at this point. I stood there in complete shock  trying to figure out what I could possibly do to better this already worsening situation. The car went careening into the other car....SMASHCRASHCRUNCH. oh my. This was bad. I went running out.. and yup I somehow didn't get the car into park, left it in reverse while I ran inside. There may or may not have been angry expressions from my end as I ran up to see what the damage was. By some undeserved, but much appreciated miracle there was not a scratch on either car... The car full of people were actually very nice, although severely confused, considering what had happened. I just think about how much I would have laughed (especially with no damage to my car) at this bizarre and weirdo girl and her car... In any case, I drove away thinking, Wow I am a truly one of the dumbest people in the world.
