So I was lucky, about an hour ago we decided to go get some movie tickets for the new movie "Shorts". I was planning on going but at the last minute decided not to. My dad and sister when in the car and drove to go get the tickets.
I went back downstairs and started looking for new blogs to subscribe to because I don't feel like i quite have enough on my Google reader. Anyway, so a few minutes after I started doing this the phone rang. My mom picked it up, turns out that my sister and dad got in a car accident. they got pretty bad whiplash but lucky for them it was only that and not worse. The back of the car was totaly destroyed, and we'll probably have to get a new one. We just got this car (its Honda Civic) a few months ago prior to my mom getting rear ended (that wasn't that bad either lucky for her). That was a few months before we got this car, our previous one was totaled for that reason.. Yeah so anyway due to our poor financial situation right now I'm not sure what we're going to do about the loss of a car. I'm not sure if we'll be able to get another one or if we'll just do something else.
My dad and sister were taken to the hospital just to check if they had any bad injuries. It was just bad whiplash though. I shudder to think what the consequences would have bee for me if I had gone. I would have been in the backseat, and I would have probably gotten the worse end for it since they were rear ended. Anyway, I'm just glad that I didn't go.
If anything else happens on this subject I'll update this.
UPDATE: Everyone is fine, they did X-rays, my dad and my sister are allright. My dad got some video of the car. The car that hit them on the back on the right. That is the side I usualy sit on so I would have gotten the worst of it if I had gone with them. *shudder*

sorry to hear about that :( I hope things get better. What are the odds though that you decided not to go?
@ice_droplets - I almost did go with them until the last second. I would have been seriously hurt, my dad got some pictures. the car slammed into the back right side of the car, the side i sit on all the time. So i was truly lucky.
@hotpinkstarberry - it's like a strange coincidence never meant to happen, just like how my uncle overslept one day and the metrolink he normally takes crashed. Luck was definitely on your side.
@ice_droplets - Luck seems to be on my side a lot =P
Very fortunate alignment of events, indeed.
Thanks for subbing. Glad your dad and sis are ok. I hope the people that hit your dad have insurance. That sucks when they don't, what a pain. Glad you didn't go either. Take care!
