Oh Deer March 30, 2007
Posted by Jen in : Bits and Pieces, Journal , 10 commentsHaving finally recovered from my recent corporate escapades (standing up, talking and holding my tummy in all at once) it was time for a reality check last night.
Thursday night rehearsal with the Orchestra of the Undead. I do so look forward to it, as you can only imagine.
I zoomed along, wondering whether a few hours’ blowing would transform my slightly sore throat into a touch of the Mariellas. Oh yes. Tomorrow I would be dead sexy. On the phone, at least.
KER-POW (as they say in Batman). A deer the size of an elephant leapt out of a hedge at 100 miles per hour. I jammed on the brakes. I shouted. ‘Get out of the way!’ I gave a little scream. I am a girl, after all. The deer did not understand.
Oh, it was horrible, horrible. I could see it in my mirror, twitching, lying in a shape it shouldn’t be.
Some men got out of their jeep thing. They attended to the deer which I had broken. I hoped they wouldn’t shoot it in front of me. The deer scowled and ran off. It wasn’t broken after all. Just a bit pissed off.
My car, on the other hand, is extremely broken. Smashed lights and the driver side so caved in that I cannot even open the door. More Mechanical Misery. Oh Deer.
