Ok a few people having been asking about what happened so I will give the full story now.
Warning: this might be long :)
I was driving home on a sunday afternoon.
Specifically I was going across state street (45 mph road) after getting off the freeway in PG.
I was waiting at the light when it turned green I did what most able citizens do....Go.
I did not gun it through, in fact, i hadn't even hit 20 yet.
Right in the middle of going through safe and sound, I see a small truck coming at me.
Literally I only saw it because it was right there.
I don't remember anything except for hearing tires squeling and I remember feeling my car run into something from the back.
He had ran the red light without even a tap of the brakes (according to witnesses)
He was going 45-50 mph and hit my passenger side rear spinning me a full 180 and sending me into another car that was coming the opposite direction. (sidenote: that car hadn't even entered the intersection..thats how far i spun)
THANK GOODNESS for adrenaline.
That stuff is amazing. and its free. and natural.
I didn't feel a thing for the next half hour or so while standing in the cold waiting for the police to be done with their report.
I was shaky though, really shaky.
My hands, legs, and my whole body was shivering...not from the cold, from shock.
It didn't even hit me how bad this was until people started telling me and making sure I was ok.
Literally I bawled for one reason: my lancer was hurt :(
I STILL tear up and shed tears because I miss her.
She was so hurt that I had to call my grandparents to come pick me up (my parents were conveniently in church) because I couldn't drive her home.
I had to watch her get pulled up on a tow truck as I drove away.
And now she's sitting in a tow truck yard all by herself :(
Love her much?
You have no idea.
But here's the very bright side:
1) If he would've hit me on the drivers side...I would be in the hospital.
2) I had the sweetest witnesses who gave me hugs and helped fill out forms to make sure he was at fault
3) my sweet grandparents were thoughtful enough to bring a blanket because they knew I'd be in shock
4) I have insurance
5) He has insurance - therefore, I get a new car OR he pays to fix lancer, AND he is paying for me to drive around this baby in the meanwhile (2010 Chrysler Sebring). Also, he has to pay for the lady I spun into.
6) Priesthood blessings - I needed it. Bad.
7) Doctors. I got a mild concussion and some really sore muscles - all very treatable and easy fixes...not fun fixes though. (ie. headaches for 6-8 weeks)
I have lost 2 pounds this week over stress - this happened just before finals - and the fact that the headaches make me naucious.
Besides that I get scared/anxiety whenever going through intersections or just in a lot of traffic.
You know in the movies when a person has a flashback of a semi's headlights coming at their car?
Yup, that's real.
I have that at least twice a day.

No word yet on Lancer, we are waiting for the insurances to go check her out.
I'll keep you updated and hopefully get some pictures of lancer soon.
But seriously thanking the big man upstairs for my many blessings.
