Bumper crushing and double speaking.

dewingedOk, I can tell some subconsious things about myself. For example, when I open the MP3 player on my computer and the first thing I do is plug in the headphones to the speakers, I know I'm in a mood to listen to music and forget the outside world for a little while.
Ok, so I went back to the store today. But, while I was in the parking lot of the CVS down the same shopping center, I got into an accident. I was backing out, slowly, looking, while the car across from me backed out, fast. I stopped. She (the other driver) didn't. Right now, my back bumper is hanging off the car a little, one of my taillights is out, and I have it tied with a bunch of twine just in case. I have an appraisal next friday, and I think the car will work til then at least. The other car? No damage. But that's okay, because the other driver admitted she did not look at all while backing out. She can pay my repair bills, thankyouverymuch. I'm not giving one red cent for this, and I don't think I have to. Lucky me.
I wasn't upset about the accident. I got /all/ of her information, so when I called the insurance company from the gaming store, I had a LOT of info to give that helped out muchly. I was very thorugh about that. I still have the 3/4 page of notes I took from the other driver. ;)
So I get to the store, went gaming tonight, and left early (About midnight) because I'm wiped out. Like I said, I wasn't upset about the accident, but I dislike what it's going to mean: time without the car, times I'm going to need to find a different means of transportation,a nd considering the amount of things I need to do this month, it's irritating.
As for my plans Saturday. See, Michael and company are in a Live-action game, and according to the game's website, the monthly event is this weekend. This...I was expecting it, and I really should have checked sooner before making plans all around and changing things to fit a trip to the gaming store tomorrow in.
Except...Christine: "There's a chance they might not go. They're not the 'Hardcore' bunch that goes to every event, or stays the whole weekend if they do."
So they MIGHT be there tomorrow.
Michael MIGHT by gay, or he MIGHT not be.
He...MIGHT think I'm okay to be around...
You see, I was thinking about this tonight: I'm beginning to think this is indicative to people in New Jersey. No one ever says anythign directly, if they can help. There's hints, allusions, all that good stuff, but I rarely see anything resolved, especially from my perspective. There's mights, and maybes, and possiblies, but it's rare that I see anyone around here deal with something directly, and it's usually long overdue when it does. I grew up in this environment, so I admit I do a lot of talking in circles when I'm trying to deal with people. One of my online friends, recently, has noticed this, and has been telling me to just say it. Whatever it is.
I'm starting to feel that no one talks about everything. There's always the 'almost' or the 'near miss,' a lot of which can be avoided by speaking plainly to those who need to hear it. Example: I have two RL friends who are as of now unnattached, and have some feelings for each other. They've /both/ told me. I'm about to take direct action, because while the two people talk every week, nothing has progressed. I'm ready to sit them down and talk to them just to bring about the inevitable and stop bugging me about it.
Bah.
As for me, I get to deal with tomorrow, one way or another. Though, it will probably be the way that involves nothing new happening. Unless I just say it...
