MY FOGGY MORNING RIDE TO THE ER
ONE of my earliest memories is when i was hit in second grade, by a car... it was a foggy morning and i mean thick fog. The rents were late for work and in a big hurry so i was dropped off in front of the babysitters house and had to cross the street in the fog. I looked both ways but the fog was so thick i could not see anything and so i ran across the street.
As i reached the middle of the road, a car shot across the street in the next lane and my wrist hit the side mirror knocking it off and breaking my left wrist and then i was knocked to the ground and my head was busted open in the back. The rents took me to the hospital a little later where my mother told me not to groan or cry because it would upset the lady who hit me....
i dont remember much more except being put on a stretcher and put under. they covered my face with a cloth and it got wet and then everything went black....
As i lay on the stretcher or bed or whatever it was, i left my body and floated above it looking down and i could see myself laying there... thats about all there is to tell... i had to get stitches in the back of my head and they put my arm in a cast, and since i was left handed, i couldnt go to school for a while.
i tried to write with my other hand but it looked terrible.... was out for a few weeks i guess and it hurt for a while... as you get older memories fade and so i tried to write them down. what i can recall at least...

Victoria Claflin Woodhull, later Victoria Woodhull Martin (September 23, 1838 – June 9, 1927) was an American leader of the women's suffrage movement.
In 1872, Woodhull ran for President of the United States. While many historians and authors agree that Woodhull was the first woman to run for President of the United States, some have questioned that priority given issues with the legality of her run. They disagree with classifying it as a true candidacy because she was younger than the constitutionally mandated age of 35. However, election coverage by contemporary newspapers does not suggest age was a significant issue. The presidential inauguration was in March 1873. Woodhull's 35th birthday was in September 1873.
An activist for women's rights and labor reforms, Woodhull was also an advocate of free love, by which she meant the freedom to marry, divorce, and bear children without government interference.[1]
Woodhull twice went from rags to riches, her first fortune being made on the road as a highly successfulmagnetic healer[2] before she joined the spiritualist movement in the 1870s.[3] While authorship of many of her articles is disputed (many of her speeches on these topics were collaborations between Woodhull, her backers, and her second husband, Colonel James Blood[4]), her role as a representative of these movements was powerful. Together with her sister, Tennessee Claflin, she was the first woman to operate abrokerage firm on Wall Street; they were among the first women to found a newspaper, Woodhull & Claflin's Weekly, which began publication in 1870.[5]
Woodhull was politically active in the early 1870s, when she was nominated as the first woman candidate for the United States presidency, for which she is best known. Woodhull was the candidate in 1872 from the Equal Rights Party, supporting women's suffrage and equal rights. Her arrest on obscenity charges a few days before the election, for publishing an account of the alleged adulterous affair between the prominent minister Henry Ward Beecher and Elizabeth Tilton, added to the sensational coverage of her candidacy. She did not receive any electoral votes, and there is conflicting evidence about popular votes.

WHICH AVENGER ARE YOU? CAPTAIN AMERICA
| Which Avenger Are You? |
| Captain America / Steve Rogers You are most like Captain America. You have a strong "good guy" ethic, and hate injustice of any kind. Understanding what it's like to be pushed around helps you fight for the little guy. You are not one to give up too easily, and often get yourself into tricky situations just to prove your worth. Your high ideals and old fashioned manners set you apart from most of your peers. |
