Car Accidents 101

So I ran into the back of a semi/truck yesterday with the Honda Civic (2002 if you were wondering). Yeah, no longer drivable. The front end is smashed. Translation? No car to take me to work and school...yeah, you see the problem don't you?
Mom seems to be convinced that I was putting on eyeliner in the car and that's why I wrecked, but seriously? Yeah okay so I had eye liner on, and it was on the floor of the car and the visor was down with the mirror open. So the evidence seems a little damning right? Right. But I don't really ever wear makeup so why would I suddenly feel the need to risk my life for it? What happened is I stopped at grandma's where I had left my eye liner, mascara and eye shadow (I don't really ever use the stuff so I never got around to picking it up). While I was there I saw it in the bathroom, decided to put it on because, hey, why not? Then I put it in my pocket so I wouldn't forget it, grandma took a picture of my hair, and I went back to the car to head to class. Small pockets=uncomfortable when full so I took the makeup out and set it in this little thing between the seats and left.
As I was slamming on the breaks, I remember thinking, "Shit, there's no way I'm going to stop in time aaaaaaaaaaaand---bam---I was correct." I sat there thinking, "Shit mom's going to kill me" and then I turned around because, you know, my folders were in the back seat and I wanted to make sure they were okay. No one ever believed me when I said those were some of the most important things in my life, now I have proof because they're the first thing I checked on. So I started crying because I wasn't going to get to school on time, mom was going to kill me, and well...what the hell was I supposed to do? It ruined all my plans for senior year like taking college courses.
The truck guy starts to walk towards me and I pull down the visor and open the mirror to try and fix that stupid eye liner that I never should have put on, and during the impact the eyeliner fell to the floor.

So see? It can all be explained. Why I'd put makeup on in the car is beyhond me, but I guess if that's what she wants to believe...
