catharsis_logs | Almost died lol

The title is a little facetious but last night I had (with my sister) my first encounter close call with a deer in the car (while I was driving). We'd gone to a different city to get a new internet deal at Xfinity. While we were at Xfinity we started asking about food option recommendations. One of the ladies described a fusion pizza place, where it's indian and italian. She talked about how 'it's at the end of a super dark highway but you'll come across a corner all lit up with light. And sure enough that was true. We pulled in, we got our pizza and fries (very good but I'm getting my sis' pizza next time), ate a tiny bit in the parking lot (I was very hungry) and we left.

As we drove back towards the city I noticed that someone had pulled over to the side of the road (in the rearview mirror it had its emergency lights on, don't know why they pulled over) then we drove for like two minutes before my sis said "deer!" and I watched as this deer almost leisurely walking out in front of my car, turning her head to stare me down as she continued walking and I hit the brakes but I also knew if I tried to go for a full stop I'd hit her anyway so I let off the brakes (I'd already let off the acelerator) and I swerved my car like a motherfucker around that damn deer and kept driving.

My sis described it as "some fucking fast and the furious type driving" and admitted that she was almost positive we were gonna hit the deer or go into the ditch/brush/couldn'tseewhatitwas.

So an Xfinity employee was responsible for me almost dying (lmao) and me and my sis saved each others lives: her by warning me which gave me just enough time to 'think' about what to do ('think' in parenthesis because it was part thinking part total instinct) to use my driving skillz to save us both.

It's funny, cuz driving to the pizza place on the highway I was thinking, 'gotta be careful on this road'.

I'm just glad no one was behind us, might've changed a lot.
