Last Night Was Terrifying!

My man and I decided to hit up the "Saturday Bloody Saturday" shorts at the 5 Points Theater for the Jacksonville Film Festival. They weren't gouge-my-eyes-out bad, but they certainly weren't in the least scary. In fact, some of them were just maybe touching on dark a tad. It was a stretch to label most of them under the horror genre. The Irony Gods must have been listening when I said I was disappointed that I didn't get a good scare last night.

I went to pick up my daughters and bring them home, but my car would not turn on. My boyfriend checked under the hood and soon found that the belt had broken. We decided to charge my battery and see if the car could be driven without the belt. It turned alright and the headlights didn't do anything funny. So, we put the girls in the car and headed home. Somewhere on Buckman bridge everything in my car started to flash and suddenly my headlights were off. I was ready to just pull over as soon as I could, but my boyfriend urged me not to. Speed was apparently my friend here. If we could pick up our speed, we could probably coast to at least a gas station, if not home which was only a couple of miles away. So, driving blind at probably 80 mph, I somehow made my way safely home. How I didn't wind up crashing or getting pulled over, I don't know. But, Jesus, I just wanted a scary movie! Thanks Irony Gods. Thanks a lot!
