Dear world,

From now on, please address me as the fantastic idiot formerly known as "Acey M."

Why?

I hit another car while pulling into a parking lot today.

I was on the way to work, basically. I was rather stressed out because all the really impatient people who detest student drivers seemed to be behind me today. Also, I didn't sleep well last night, but I kinda forgot about that.

Thankfully, the guy I hit was a real sweetie and had kids of his own, so he didn't call the cops on me. ._.; Still feel like a dumbass. I was going less than 20 mph and I hit a car. While trying to pull into the parking lot of where I work. It's just so full of lame and suck, I'm still kinda mesmerised by my own stupidity.

Everyone I've talked to today (including my brother, Josh) has told me not to worry about it or beat myself up about it, but my perfectionist self is just having the dandiest time mentally wacking myself over the head with various blunt objects.

'Cause, well, I should've pulled over and let my mom drive waaaay before I got near work. I was nervous because all these irritated drivers were behind me (excuse me for not being comfortable enough to drive over the speed limit!), and was starting to feel light-headed. But no. I'm just like, "I have to push myself outside of my comfort zone, or I'll never improve."

That particular nugget of wisdom? Doesn't apply to all aspects of life.

Here's hoping I sleep tonight.
