This Only Happens to Me...Seriously

So last night I took the Megabus from Chicago to Indy.  It was my first Megabus experience, but my family uses it between Chicago and Indy a lot.  Aside from there being the general chaos of THREE Megabusses in one place, it turned out to be pretty good once we got going.

And then the Megabus got hit by a car.  The bus didn't hit anything.  A car hit the bus. 

Our bus was pulling dead straight ahead into a toll lane, and this small, red sedan decided to cut over, practically perpendicularly to the bus, to squeeze in front of the bus.  By the time the car got to our toll lane, however the bus was already a few feet into it...so the car phsically could not have gotten in front of us.  Instead, it T-boned the bus.  Yep. 

Don't worry, everyone was ok.  The bus driver was super calm and everything, and he came up to the upper deck to check on us all.  Like I said, no one was hurt.  Then we had to sit and wait for 50 minutes for the state police to show up.  So we sat there for about an hour until we moved again.  Instead of getting into Indy at 2:15am, I got in at 3:00am.  Awesome.

Other than that, and my still sorta bruised tailbone not liking the seats, it was a rather enjoyable experience.

In other news, every noise I hear in the house I think is the mouse.  I'm super jumpy.  BUT I got a text message from my roommate Emmy about an hour ago saying Remy has moved out of our little corner of Sheridan Road!
