Cloverland and Hopkins shooting

Dairy cows and small cute bottle = suntaneye's weakness
How are these two ever related right? It started with the Husby and I noticing a Cloverland truck blocking traffic one morning some two weeks back. He insisted that Cloverland is a movie, while I instead it was Cloverfield. I also said it was about aliens. It turned out that I was right about 1 of the 3 statements. Since then I have noticed many Cloverland trucks in the area, and each time I see one, it reminds me of the Husby. Not to say that he looks like a cow, but it brings back memories of us driving in New Zealand and spotting the dairy cows.

That particular morning of Sept 16th, I counted a total of 4 trucks on the way to UMBC with my classmates, two more than usual. After class, T wanted to get lunch and so I went along. Of all things, he picked up Cloverland milk! It seemed like a sign, way too many cloverlands today. So I called the Husby on my way to the harbor only to find out about the shooting. Of course I was freaked out by it. His lab is in the main hospital building, and not knowing the exact details was worrying. Everyone always says if you hear gunshots, run, hide or duck. But tell me, coming from Sg where I have never heard a gunshot, will I know it when I hear it? Will it be exactly like the movies?

It's very loud and sometimes sounds like fireworks.

oh dear.. please take care dear! sounds so scary living in Baltimore.. but u know, if u survive living there u will have more interesting tales to tell next time! :p to be honest, i'm looking forward to a more "exciting" life when i finally have enough guts to leave SG! i wanna be able to experience life and grow from it (and hopefully live to tell the tale), and not just be always in this safe sterile environment...

Dawn: Are you guys still going to the firing range? I should try it sometime.

Aki-chan: haha, yes, definitely a lot of interesting tales! Who knows where you might end up next year after the wedding and your graduation :) and thanks, Barnes is taking it as a compliment that he is very handsome indeed!

I think after my last experience, I might skip. But I'm sure Husby and Simian will be happy to take you :)

Honestly, if we hadn't been standing next to a guy firing a semi-automatic, it might have been enjoyable.
