First bike crash

So, it was Monday afternoon, my day off work and a sunny day, what's else is better than going out for a bike ride? So I did, went riding at the Burke Gilman trial which is close to my house.
What happened is I crashed!
I never had a crash before, or haven't seen one in person, so I don't know how bad is consider "bad" for a bike crash, but I guess it was pretty bad, lol.... look at the pictures below.
This is my elbow, had some scratches, but it wasn't bleeding, so that was good. Lucky that I was wearing a long sleeve jacket, but too bad that my jacket is ripped.






And then my left knee. Before the crash, i always think that wearing my leg warmer is good, because it keeps me warm and I feel more safe and comfortable with the warmer, and I was right. Without that leg warmer, my left leg probably had more scratch than this.




Also my left hand, the whole thing just happened too fast that I don't remember how it exactly happened, and what exactly happened. After the fact that it happened, I just checked myself out, see where's the damages are, then figure out how it happened. From the pictures, you can see that besides the jacket, my left glove is ripped too.











Thinking about it, it was kinna funny because right after I crashed, first thing I was worrying about wasn't my leg, or arm, or hand, or anything, but my bike!! I was like "oh shit, my bike!!!!!" sigh.... look at my poor bike, the right shifter is bent, and the tape is all messed up, but I guess those are easy fixes, and hopefully that's it.
