Yes, I'm alive. My semester is winding down, I've just finished my last essay, studying for exams. Eventually I'll post here again, but right now it looks like I'm not missing much.
So last night my boyfriend and I were in a car accident. A deer (more specifically, a large buck) jumped out in front of the car, smashing in the windshield in front of where I was sitting, taking out the mirror. I was showered in glass and have some minor injuries from the seatbelt, but all in all we both made it out remarkably well.
So that's my life, what is new with everyone here?
Well, I guess the Buck really DID stop there.. ;-)
Ok, I am very glad you are ok, I mean I wouldn't want you to have YOUR head cut off or anything.. (inside joke between myself and Wicked here.. anyone else tries to flame me for that will REALLY be sorry.. )
I was wondering what happened to you.. havent seen you in a while..
Were you the only one slightly injured, or your boyfriend as well?
Anyways, glad to hear that it wasn't worse. The only one who was seriously injured was the deer itself.
Btw, does your insurance cover the damage made by deers on the road?
Good thing the buck did not go through the windshield.
A few years ago while driving one mile from home, a deer ran into the side of my car by the front tire, and fortunately could not jump up onto the hood. Anyway, insurace paid for the damage minus the deductable. Best of all my insurance rates did not increase as it was covered on comprehensive rather than on collision.
My boyfriend hurt his shoulders and neck a bit as well, but I think we're both over everything except the shock. The damage to his car was something like $2500, but insurance covers all but $300 and his rates are not increasing. Phew!
In the meantime, he has a brand spankin' new loaner car. Has less than 3K on it. :)
It's great to hear that you guys are OK.
Hopefully Canadian inurance companies don't screw up their customers as much as they do here in the States.
They always say thy will give you complete coverage and when something happens they totally screw you over with new change of policies or just things that you were not able to read between the lines when you signed that contract.
Wow..deer suck. Kangaroos are no fun to hit either. If they don't die they tend to scratch your eyes out/thrash about.
So remember...badgers DON'T eat doughnuts.

They even charge everything against you. I own a 1995 ford crown victoria, the one that cops use. My insurance isn't that cheap, something like $87 a month. My car though has a 10-star safety rating, and for that I got a decent discount. But then again, I'm considered an unsafe driver statistically, being 18 years of age. And for that they pull out the discount. They are afraid that something can happen to me, and they charge me for my future stupidity, or in Burninator's case, unforseen events like that. Insurance people for me are in the same league as the IRS.
Insurance companies are worse than the mob.
At least the mob steals your money when you go to a casino when you could easily control your gambling habits and simply decide not to throw your money away. Insurance companies simply take advantage at the fact that law requires that you must have a car insurance.
Like they haven't tortured us enough, we have to put up with watching those awfully dumb GEICO commercials on TV.
Must be your insurance company ... I have had four claims in 20 years (one accident - my fault, one accident - the semi's fault, one stupid deer, and an escaped rolling spare tire) and all were handled to my satisfaction. Of course, it is well known that insurance companies tend to price gouge an insurance rates.
