so... apparently cars need brakes. especially when driving on highways.

yeah. good to know.

today was NOT a good day.

(and before I freak anyone out - I'm fine, the family is FINE. The car is not.)

I did, however, get 75% of my Christmas shopping done before car decided brakes were optional.

HI HI! How was everyone else's day?

ALSO:




ALSO II:
[livejournal.com profile] faithwood's is doing a holidays fest Harry/Draco rec signal boost thingy - sort of a one stop shop for what Harry/Draco fics are being recced this season. (which is super cool if you feel like you have no reccers on your flist, or if you are a reccer with not many H/D readers on your flist).

ALSO III:
since lj is being wonky, i'm keeping a list on DW of direct links to hd_holidays fics that are hosted off-lj. just in case I'm ever in the mood to read and lj is being a bitch.

it's here: http://marguerite-26.dreamwidth.org/1818.html

Oh no!!! That is not good! Glad you and your family are okay.

I worked today and it was a great busy day. Loved it. Just what I needed - to be around people. ;)

IKR??? These things are only supposed to happen in movies!

but yeah - it was sorta insane but we thought there was ~something wrong~ so we were going annoyingly slow to be careful and not like flying along at 140 km/hr or anything.

The car gave us enough brakes to ease our way a safe stop on the shoulder and we called a tow truck.

but yeah. DNW!!! Also, we are now down to one car... fuck.

Oh no BOO to the car not being fine! Glad you're ok, though. 'decided brakes were optional' - really, the ideas these things get up to! You must have gotten such a fright.

silly car. i don't even know what it was thinking. we treat it so nicely.

we'd just had it washed and well... apparently it liked being dirty and was getting back at us the only way it knew how.

Brakes are helpful.
Glad to hear you're A'OK!

Last winter my mom had the same thing happen to her. She had a gut feeling to leave work early, since a serious snow storm was just starting. She found out quickly her brakes weren't working. We learned later all 4 brake lines rusted out and the brake fluid had completely drained out. I still don't know how made it home without an accident (she tells me it involved a lot of shifting down to a lower gear). She even managed to back the car into the driveway.

Merlin Holidays!! \o/
CAN'T WAIT.

God, I need that pic of Arthur/Bradley from that banner made in to a big ole "Oh no you didn't" icon. Damn... where has he been my whole life.

But omg, BRAKES BREAK! What's up with that?! Does this mean they've skyrocketed to the top of your Christmas list? Glad to hear you're okay. *glomps!*

I'm so glad that you and your family are OK! Urgh. I've only had one car accident and Pearl Jam's "Alive" was playing when our car got hit, no joke.

Thanks so much for the DW links too--I was searching like mad for the name of a fic I wanted to give inspiration credit to while lj was down and realized just how much I rely on it.

Yay Merlin holidays! Can't wait to settle in and read. Hope to take part next year.
