On Monday I recieved a call saying, "You won!"

At work.

Turns out someone drew my business card from a fishbowl and I (and up to nine friends) won a free lunch courtesy of ... I forgot their names. But I got a free lunch. Just had to fill out a questionaire, and they even assured me that they wouldn't sell their info. The company's large enough that they wouldn't lie about it, too.

The funny thing?

I don't have a business card. Someone took the card we have at work, wrote my name and cell-phone number on it, then tossed it into a fishbowl at a restauraunt I've never gone to.

But who?

Oh well. I enjoyed a free lunch with some co-workers and friends. Strange, though.

After that I picked this up from work:

Then:

Got in a car accident (wasn't driving). We were turning left at an intersection. A brand new mercedes benz slammed into the door next to me (rear passenger) before we were able to clear out. The driver of our car turned away, thus swinging the rear end of the car (and, you know, me) into the oncoming vehicle.

Hit my head against the window, and it hurts. Slammed my elbow into the door, which buckled in and hit my knee, too. My knee's not bothering me, but my elbow is stiffening up something fierce.

Seriously. What's wrong with me? We're going through the intersection, I look up from reading the disgaea 2 strategy guide (a game I don't plan on ever playing, since I suck very badly at tactical strategy games), I see car headed towards us, I realize it's honking its horn, I've been in accidents, so I know that we're going to get hit. I know it's not shock, I actually thought about this. Then, deciding that the driver was already aware (he was), and there was nothing I could do, I turn to look back at the guide again, instead of bracing myself or yelling. (Page 537)

I appear not to take damage as a normal person; I just get bitchier and even more cynical instead of being wounded. I may be immortal.

But at what cost?
