Tornadoes with Len and Russ

I was at a family reunion with Len, Susan, mom, and Aunt Kathy. Kathy was encouraging a relationship between me and Len, which I thought was weird, but we decided to go on a date anyway. We were driving down a road and I looked out the window and saw a band of tornadoes on the horizon. I counted 13 of them and told Len we needed to hurry and get back to the reunion. Then Len morphed into Russ and I was begging him to go back to my house so we could get Sam. He asked me how to get to my house and I realized I didn't know where we were because he had turned off the road somewhere. He started being an asshole as usual, but got us back on 12th street and headed toward my house. The tornadoes were getting closer and there was colorful debris flying all over the place. Russ pulled over in the left lane to pass a car and a huge semi was coming right at us. I closed my eyes and screamed as Russ tried to swerve out of its way. The semi clipped us and tore a hole in the driver's side of the car. I opened my eyes and couldn't believe we were still alive. Russ looked surprised as well. He started throwing money out of the window, as thanks for surviving.

Alan's Death

I was hiking with Alan and another person in the mountains somewhere. We had been drinking and Alan was a little tipsy. We came upon a deep canyon and Alan started running down the trail through the rocks, toward the bottom. He tripped over some rocks and plunged over the edge to his death. It was horrible - he hit several big boulders on the way down and bounced when he hit the bottom. It was obvious there was no way he could have survived the fall. I turned away screaming, "He's dead! He's dead! How are we going to tell Scheryl?"

Date with Michael

Amy set me up with a guy named Michael who worked at the Spirit Shop. On our first date we decided to take a trip to Mexico together, but we had to drive to Pennsylvania to catch our plane. We stopped to spend the night at a motel in Nashville. Susan and Sam were with us. There was a family staying at the motel with dogs and they were getting kicked out. When the motel manager found out I had Sam with me, he wouldn't let us stay either. I told Susan that she could take Sam with her to NY and that I would pick him up on the way back from Mexico.

Michael and I were having a really good time. When we were lying in bed that night he told me that he was falling in love with me. I didn't know how to respond, so I pretended to be asleep. The next day he told me that he had figured out a way to steal vodka from the Spirit Shop via Skype calls. I was shocked that he was stealing and wanted to tell Matt right away, but first I wanted to see how it was possible to steal something through a video call.

Next, we were back in Norman and Michael and some of the other shop employees had snuck into the shop at night and were stealing liquor. Michael was hiding in the ceiling and he would lower a device down onto the vodka shelf which would open the bottle and suck out the vodka. Then he would replace it with sugar water. In the middle of the heist, Matt came in the front door and Michael fell through the ceiling tiles on top of him.

Baby Pigs

I was sitting in the backseat of a parked car and a group of kids came up to the window. They were holding lots of tiny baby piglets in their hands. They were so cute! I asked to hold a few and a boy put some in my hands. They were so small and looked like fetuses. I accidentally dropped them into a puddle of water and they began swimming around like tadpoles, then growing right before my eyes.

Mom and the Lawnmower

Mom and I were pushing a lawnmower down the street, either trying to find a place to repair it or get gas. The street we were on suddenly came to a dead end and we found ourselves walking through a man's yard. I pushed the lawnmower over some wet concrete on a path by the house and left wheel marks. I hurriedly rushed back to the street before the man saw what I did. We continued walking and came to a shopping center/outside market in Norman that I had never seen before. We saw Lia and Kathy in a movie theater and I ran up to them. I was happy to see them because I knew they had a car we could borrow and we wouldn't have to push the lawnmower anymore. Kathy gave me her keys and said her car was parked in the middle of the parking lot right next to a red phone booth like the kind they have in London. We went back to the parking lot and realized there were many lots, surrounding this crazy circus-like marketplace. We walked and walked, looking for her car, but could never find it.
