I was almost hit by a couch.

Hello!

So. I drove back to school today, and I was almost hit by a couch! I will copy and paste my account of the experience from this thing that I wrote to my friends earlier today (because I am too lazy to write a whole new account).

Ok, so I was ALMOST to my exit to school. And there was this truck in front of me, to the left. It was pulling a trailer with a couch and a chair strapped in. I had noticed it earlier in the drive, and thought to myself, "What if one of those comes undone?" It was just one of those THINGS that you think while you're bored and driving to pass the time. So I was driving along a bit later and THE COUCH CAME OFF! And there was a BIG truck to my immediate left, and I watched it try to miss it with interest. It was in that sort of DETACHED way that comes when you're at the end of a trip and you're sort of in shock. Hmm. I don't know if that is an actual WAY since it doesn't happen that often, I guess. ANYWAY. I was watching the truck try to miss it, and then the couch started COMING TOWARDS ME! The thing was on WHEELS!!!! And it was seriously about to hit me! So I squealed and swerved slightly and SOMEHOW missed it! But I was afraid there was a car in the lane to my right that I hadn't seen and that I was going to hit THEM. But there wasn't, so it was ok. And then I teared up and MAYBE cried a little bit. Because, REALLY. What would happen to a person that HIT A COUCH with their car? What sort of accident would THAT cause? And how EMBARRASSING would it be to have your death be listed as, "Death by rolling couch." I mean. SHEESH. Anyway, I REALLY wanted to REPORT that STUPID person for not having their load tied down PROPERLY! I mean, someone could have been seriously hurt! And someone WAS seriously traumatized! I won't be able to drive behind people who have things strapped down anymore!

Alright! I need to get to sleep now because I'm going to yoga EARLY in the morning, and it is ALREADY early in the morning! Oh, dear. I think a NAP will be taken tomorrow!
