this is what happens when a motorcycle runs a red a light at a high speed and hits your car:

my first concern was making sure the cyclist was alright. i knew i was fine. i didn’t yet know the damage to my car. all i remember is he hit me so hard, my car fishtailed into the left lane, i straightened out, threw on my blinkers and pulled over. i honestly had know idea what hit me, but i knew that my light was green. that i was sure of. luckily two cabbies that were stopped as they should be witnessed and confirmed the whole thing for us. my first concern getting out of the car was that the cyclist was alright. i didn’t look at my car; i felt fine; and i wanted to make sure he was alright. he’ll be fine. i called 911 and a fire truck came although i also requested an ambulance just in case. cops came.

i can’t sleep now because this throws a HUGE wrench into everything: vacation, school starting again. i know my car is not drivable although i did drive it home. this happened at 15th and P, a block or so away from home. the rear wheel is completely messed up and the alignment is WAY off. and my taillight looks like Wall e when his eye ball falls out.

the police report filed, insurance called, the gears are turning.

i was listening to toby keith when he hit me. he wasn’t drunk. i don’t know what happened. his brakes may have failed. he just might not have been paying attention. it could have been worse. he was riding a Ducati. that really means nothing to me.

so after the fire engine and ambulance depart, one of them kicks up a piece of debris that hits me in the face and cuts open the bridge of my nose. i’m fine, but the officer was like where’d that blood come from (which was all over my shirt) and i told him and he said he’d get to the bottom of it. i said it was an accident and that i was fine but that my modeling career was over. he was not amused.

so now, vacation is up in the air. but i really need it to start now.
