HANDS UP! HANDS UP!
So it's 9:57 a.m.
I was awoken by a policeman telling someone to put their hands up and come out of somewhere.
As soon as I realized it WASN'T a dream, I got up and ran, with my plush bunny in tow, to the "center" of my apartment. I figured that if there were flying bullets, I would be the safest at the "center," as if I'm living in a ball and guns are being fired all around. But now I realize that I could have been safer at the far opposite end of where I heard the policeman yell.
In all of my years living in Los Angeles' apartments and houses, I've never had an "event" so close to where I'm sleeping. Sure, while on the road, I see more policemen and flashing lights atop their cars, but NEVER was I awoken by by such an ordeal like today. Not that there were any guns fired today, but it was a few feet away from where I was sleeping. Yes, I peeked out of my window and saw a policeman! Keep in mind that I've lived in L.A. since I was 7 and I've been living in Vancouver for a little more than 2 years.
So, here's to my crazy mother-in-law-to-be and all her relatives who think L.A. is SUCH a bad place when they've NEVER EVEN BEEN THERE: fuck you. I mean, this place doesn't even provide appropriate or enough entertainment to be mildly dangerous. For all the fun L.A. has, L.A.P.D. has my permission to wake me up 100 times with their guns drawn.
I'm going back to sleep. Maybe my apartment will get robbed.
