"Safe" Irvine

While I am at work, I got a text message from my friend explaining to me someone just got shot in Verano Pl. Verano place is the complex where Nick and I live. I was so confused. Let me explain.

When Nick and I moved to Irvine everyone was telling us how nice it is and that it was named the safest city to live in. There aren't shootings in Irvine... EVER! BUT when it does happen it not only happens in Irvine, but on UCI campus in my complex. CRAZY! What are the chances! I called Nick at the start of my lunch break and asked him if he heard about it..... He said "Yes, but I was not going to tell you so you wouldn't have nightmares." SO FUNNY! He was trying to protect me... or my dreams and thoughts!

If you know my family at all... we are SO DRAMATIC! About everything! It is pretty funny to watch. Well, my dad was very honest with all of us kids in every situation. Let me give you an example. "Jordan, don't ever run into the street because if you do a car will not see you and they will kill you and your body will be crushed instantly, and we will loose you just like that!" Of course in an overly dramatic way. Now that was not gross, but because he was always so worried about us girls in any situation he would tell us how it is to the most horrible extent possible. You can imagine how scared we were and still are from the "this could happen if your not careful stories." The funny thing is I told Madison one of these stories a while ago. Nick laughed and said I sounded just like my dad and just as dramatic. I then realized, well it freaked me out and still does so it did its job so it works pretty well.

Well probably once every other week I wake up crying histerically. I have BRUTAL dreams. I mean dreams like my family being brutally murdered in front of my eyes. I don't know why.... then I always go back to my dramatic family and the CRAZY stories all of us told and still tell.

SO I just laughed because Nick didn't want me to have scary dreams. He knows me so well. Anyway.... interesting huh?
