I love my best friend but she's crazy.
Shep was driving her sister's honda up to Elk City when we spotted a cop who had pulled someone over. Whatever business they had conducted was over and the car that had been stopped was pulling away. Well, Shep is psycho so upon seeing the cop she panics for like no reason. We seriously weren't doing anything wrong, she had nothing bad in the car, she hadn't been drinking, there was absolutely no reason to worry but she pulls over to the side of the road and gets out to "pretend she's looking for something in the trunk".
I can NOT figure out what the hell she's doing.
The cop of course, comes over to investigate this and I haven't any idea what was said but a minute later Shep gets back in the car and is paranoid and frazzled as the cop follows us for some time.
I asked her what the hell she was doing and she says something about she didn't want to get pulled over. . . . Okay, you don't want to get pulled over so you pull yourself over and make yourself a freaking target with suspicious behavior that the cop is most definitely going to check out??
To me it's like being a zebra in lion territory. If you don't want to get eaten you stay with the herd, you blend in, you let your stripes do their optical illusion thing and make you invisible. You don't limp off to the side bleating loudly and fall over cuz the lions are going to notice that and eat your stupid ass.
Cops aren't stupid. If you pull over when you see them or, worse, turn around and drive the other way, they're instantly going to go after you.
"the tags on my other car are expired." shep says like that explains anything.
Dude, if your tags are expired and you pull over the cop would have definitely noticed. He would NOT have noticed if you had just calmly driven by. Crazy.
I love you shep but sometimes I think you need to ride the little bus.
Oklahoma thunderstorms are something else. I just experienced my first. There are no buildings around here and the lightening is like non-stop. The whole sky lights up and the thunder is so loud your house shakes. The raindrops are huge too. Stupid Shep made me ride with her to Dead Woman's bridge in the middle of the storm. There were moments when we couldn't even see the road. So who's the crazy one: Shep, or me who always goes along with the freaky things Shep wants to do?
Furthermore, I finally got to see my armadillo. Two of them actually. But the little bastards escaped before I could get a picture. I have spent the entire week hunting them and I would still be hunting one to take its' picture but I read on the internet tonight that armadillos have been known to carry mycobacterium leprae. That's the bacteria that causes LEPROSY. I have two words for you. Fuck armadillos.
