Excuse me for walking

I'm in the last semester of my college life and I refuse to pay $80 for a parking pass that I would only use for 4 months.  Now why are there not semester parking passes instead of yearly?  Why would I want a parking pass from August to August when I'll be leaving in December?  Whatever!  That being said, I park at this church that is nice enough to not ticket us if we park there.  It's at the bottom of this hill and is not a far walk from school.  So that's where I park, then walk up the street and then onto the sidewalk.

Let's learn the definition of a sidewalk.
side·walk n. - A paved walkway along the side of a street.

Ok.  I'm just doing this to make sure I'm not crazy in thinking I was walking in the street.  Sometimes I walk on the street when a sidewalk is not available.  But this story takes place on a paved walkway along the side of a street.

So it's cold outside.  I'm feeling fabulous in my skinny jeans tucked into boots and my houndstooth coat.  I'm jamming to music on my iPod.  It's pretty much hard to contain myself from dancing.  But I somehow do.  And I'm walking on the sidewalk.

So there I am.  Just jamming to my music.  I'm minding my own business just trying to get to class on time.  And then it happened.

 Yes that's a car.  Look.  I don't have my graphics tablet with me so I'm using a mouse.  And I don't draw cars.  I draw hearts and stars.  So whatever.  It was a big yellow jeep mini suv car like vehicle thing.  And out of nowhere it's trying to turn into the parking lot while I'm walking.  I want to be like...

"I'M WALKING HERE YOU FOOL?!  I'M FREEZING COLD IN THIS 35 DEGREE WEATHER WHILE YOU SIT IN YOUR WARM CAR LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPOT.  DO YOU NOT SEE ME ON THIS SIDEWALK LOOKING FABULOUS IN MY HOUNDSTOOTH COAT AND MY BOOTS?!  JAMMING ON MY iPOD?!  OH MY GOSH I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR STUPID YELLOW CAR JEEP MINI SUV VEHICLE THING!  I COULDN'T MAKE A GOOD COFFEE THIS MORNING BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF MILK AND HERE I AM TRYING TO WALK AND YOU TRY TO RUN OVER ME.  I DON'T WANT TO DIE TODAY OKAAAAAY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

But that's a tad dramatic.  And apparently my eyebrows resemble Groucho Marx's eyebrows when I get angry, so I really try not to get angry often due to that fact.  So instead I looked like this...

"Oh my goodness what was I thinking?!  I can't believe I almost walked in front of your car on this paved walkway along the side of a street that is made for walking.  Oh my goodness if you had hit me I would have gotten your yellow car mini suv jeep vehicle thing all dirty with my red blood!  I am SO sorry.  I hope that I did not cause you to use your brakes.  I know those are so inconvenient to use!  What was I THINKING walking on the sidewalk?!!"

And then I was like...

 

Anyway.  I continued the day ALIVE in my fabulous houndstooth coat and boots.  No thanks to the jeep car suv vehicle thing that almost ran over me while I was walking on a paved walkway along the side of a street also known as a SIDEWALK!
