Rain, Rain, Go Away!

And don't come back.

I am deathly afraid of driving in the rain on the freeway. Whyy?? Click here. Well...this does not really explain why I pulled a 360 on the freeway. It sounds like I did it on purpose. I hydroplaned back in, I guess, December 2007. Noob move, huh. It was sort of raining, and I was going about 45 mph. I was in the second to the most right lane and my steering wheel spun toward the right. Thankfully, no one was in that lane or else, I do not even want to think about it. I shut my eyes tightly, released the steering wheel (because it was too strong, I could not move it back for the life of me), and scrunched up my fists and my arms in a fighting stance. My car hit the curb along the bank on the side of the freeway (thank the LORD it wasn't a wall).

Anyway. Today, as I was on my way to SD, the rain was pouring like no other, and I got into panic mode. I always call Javi and ask for his advice every time I am on the freeway on a rainy day. Almost every time I see him, he makes fun of me. Apparently, he is the master of non-hydroplaning. But this time, I didn't call him (I didn't call you, Javi! Aren't you proud?!). I made it safely too!! Thank the LORD (hahHAHAH I accidentally typed "LORDs"). But it's LORD. One LORD. Why? Come ask me.

I just realized that Delaware gets 40-46 inches of rain a year. I guess I am going to have to buy a boat or something.

Anyway. I was going 55 mph on the road and everyone was passing me like I was an old Korean grandma who needs a cushion to sit on because she's so dang short. But I told myself, "Safety First!" Seriously, ALL these people kept passing me. But I stood my speed. "I DON'T CARE!" And then all of a sudden 2NE1's I Don't Care started to play from my Kpop CD (I heart KPOP). "I don't ca-a-a-a-a-are. I don't ca-a-a-a-a-are."

Bye.
