obligatory creepy mention of the crawlspace and repliku's ass
So I had quite the adventure today. I needed to go Mother's Day shopping at the mall (because yesterday my mum took me there and showed me exactly what she wanted... so yeah, not much of a surprise as to what she's getting), and I was going to have Andrew take me but he'd already done his shopping so I figured hey, I have a license, there's a car free, I'll just go by myself. So I'm driving to the mall, nothing really exciting there. Until I accidentally go through what I'm pretty sure is a red light.

The thing is, I'm not really sure whether it was red or not. I know there was a light there, but I didn't notice what color it was until I had already gone through it, and the only indication that I had done something wrong was that I practically got run over by a turning pickup truck. So then once I realize what I might have done I have a huge OH SHIT WHAT HAVE I DONE moment, and I definitely start hoping that there were no cops around to see it. So I drive the rest of the way to the mall feeling like I'm on the run from the law. It felt kind of badass, actually. From there the shopping trip proceeds normally. I bought my Mother's Day gift and then I went on the Quest for Another Denim Skirt, which took me to Kohl's and Old Navy, and I found success at Old Navy after discovering that there is only one style of (weird, really short) denim skirts in the juniors section of Kohl's.

So now I have another unsolved mystery in my life: Was The Light Red When I Went Through It? (The other unsolved mystery, of course, is the oft-mentioned How Did Final Fantasy X Get On My Lost Season Four Finale Tape?)

That must have been scary!! But at least you didn't get pulled over. =)

Oh, I was so scared. I kept looking in my rear-view mirror all paranoid-like... and then I was worried that they were going to follow me to the mall and corner me in the parking lot.

(Then again, I think I have some sort of fear of being pulled over, because sometimes I'll have dreams about trying to evade cops while I'm driving.)

I'm sure it was nothing. I freak out about those types of things, too, but most of the time there's nothing to worry about. Usually, if the light IS red, your brain notices it MUCh faster than if it's green and you have no need to acknowledge it. So it was most likely green.

And at least there were no cops. ;)

The thing was, I didn't really acknowledge that there was a light there until after I had already gone through it. (& you're spoiling my potential law-breaking fun!)
