This will be my dream journal thread, so let's kick it off.

Sunday Afternoon (08-12-07):

I was in a minivan with my mother and the character "Reggie" from the now-defunct (but soon to be revived) series Dead Like Me. Reggie was in the backseat, and she was playing the role of my little sister.

My mother was driving us to my older sister's house in the small town that I grew up in because she wanted to pick up a couch that my sister was giving away. We were discussing the fact that Reggie would be going to college someday, and I was telling her that she would get into whatever university she wanted to.

As we entered one of the smaller roads in town, the cars in front of us veered off the road in a frantic manner. A man with a golden flat-top haircut swerved wildly on his white and blue motorcycle, and he screamed in pain as a gunshot rang out.

It became apparent that a sniper was perched on the rooftop of a house (I play a lot of FPS games IRL). I became frantic and told my mom that she needed to gun the engine and take a side road immediately. With both hands firmly at 10 and 2 on the steering wheel, she calmly told me that she wasn't a person who broke the speed limit laws and that I should calm down. I started yelling at her and then she looked at me and told me to watch my mouth and attitude in front of Reggie, who was simply staring at us.

I looked back at her and apologized, and told my mom to hurry up before we all got shot.
