Rainbow colours shouldn't be difficult to spot in the middle of the day

So, today I got hit by a car.

Okay, I'm exaggerating. Today I was swiped by a car because apparently you don't actually need to stop for pedestrians at a pedestrian crossing. Arsehole.

My knee is turning some interesting colours, though.

On a more cheerful note, I seem to have an unexpectedly full social life this weekend.

I mean, today was Silly Night for FOUL - which was rather amusing and, as the name implies, silly.

Then, I ducked out early to go see Melbourne Model: The Musical. Some backstory for people who don't go to Melbourne Uni: The Melbourne Model is a reworking of the course structure at the Uni which has been incredibly controversial with a number of people, especially Creative Arts students. As a result, some have said Creative Arts students decided to protest it's implementation by... writing a musical.

It wasn't actually bad, though it was incredibly un-PC and exeptionally scathing of Glyn Davis and co. Very, very funny though, if in some parts down to the "I can't believe they just said that" factor. I especially liked Sam's Asia number, though the dude playing Glyn was hilarious.

And that was just tonight. Tomorrow I'm somehow trying to work out a way to both attend connikins's 21st, and catch up with Mum when she is in town for The Sister's birthday (which was today).

And I shall leave you all with an amusing quote from Silly Night:

A girl I don't know (to me): "Excuse me, can I feel your skirt?"
(After feeling my skirt)
"It's just, it feels just like I imagined. Kind of felty. Like Scotland!"

Ick. I'm guessing you didn't get an apology from the driver?

Didn't even stop. Yeah, I got nothing more than a few bruises from it, but still: Arsehole.

...Swearing at them makes me feel better.

You want to believe it's shame that made them do that. Sadly, it's probably apathy, selfishness, or a cell phone conversation. Hope the bruising goes down soon.

I have to agree.

Heck, one time my Mom almost got hit. She glared at the woman.

The woman rolled down her window, and instead of shouting out an apology, she shouted:

"Like I care!"

... WTF would be putting it mildly.

People are selfish, so absorbed in whatever they're doing or thinking about they don't give any thought to the well being of others.

Okay, I think that is crossing a line.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Oh, it is. I honestly have no idea what compelled that woman to say that. I hope she was just having a stressful day...

I'll be fine. I was just rather outraged at the time.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

That would have been a smart move, wouldn't it?

I just know it was black and new-ish. Too busy raging to take in detail. And I'm fine, dude, I swear. I've been walking around all evening, it's just a couple of bruises.

And yes - do you remember my grey one with the sparkles? Below the knees?
