today can go away now.

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:

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.

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. ;)

<3 ty!

sounds like a lovely productive day - those always make me feel good. :)

What what whaaaaaaaat. *grabs you and fam, holds tight*

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.

thank you for easing our concerns for your welfare ~~with that scorching image of Bradley in all his bare and beautiful awesomeness which could hardly be helping your heart rate return to normal~~

That Bradley image had me going all... car troubles? what car troubles?

;)

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.

She even managed to back the car into the driveway.

LOL! that's awesome. :) we just sat and waited for a tow. :)

MERLIN HOLIDAYS!!! OMG!!! YAY!

Glad everyone's all right, dear <3

Glad to hear that you and your family are okay. Scary things cars!

Thanks, sweetie. yeah - crazy stuff. :/

I'm glad you're all right ♥.

LOL. Yes. exactly. :)

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!*

AHAHAH - yeah. Bradley's totally going "Oh no you didn't" there. ahahaha.

yeah - brakes for christmas! But luckily, I'd already bought myself a few things that I REFUSE to return so I have no guilt!

DDD: I'm glad you're all alright! *hugs*

*squish*
thanks!

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.

Pearl Jam's "Alive" was playing when our car got hit, no joke.

<3

Eep! Brakes are really not optional.

SO EXCITED FOR MERLIN HOLS!

yeah brakes are a crappy thing to go.

You don't have any enemies do you? Cut brake line or something? How do brakes stop working?

brake fluid leak..yeah. no break fluid, no brakes.

:/

Yikes! Very glad you're OK even if the car isn't. Cars really should know better these days!
