FRIDAY THE 13TH

OK, I AM NOT SUPERSTITIOUS BY ANY MEANS, BUT THE LAST WEEK OR SO HAS REALLY BEEN WEIRD. LAST WEEK OUR FRIENDS CHRIS AND BETH ASKED US IF WE WANTED TO GO CAMPING NEXT WEEKEND (JULY 13-15). THEY WANTED TO GO TO HARD LABOR CREEK STATE PARK IN SOCIAL CIRCLE GA. I TOLD THEM I COULDN'T GO THAT WEEKEND DUE TO MY NIECE'S (CLARA) 1ST BIRTHDAY PARTY AND MY BROTHER IN LAW'S (JOHNNY) SURPRISE 50TH PARTY ON SAT. WE DISCUSSED IT AND DECIDED WE ARE GOING THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND (JULY 20-22). LATER BETH PROCEEDED TO INFORM ME THAT THE MOVIE FRIDAY THE 13TH WAS FILMED AT HARD LABOR CREEK. SOMETHING I REALLY DID NOT NEED TO KNOW. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I GREW UP WATCHING SCARY MOVIES AND STILL LOVE THEM. NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT WHEN WE REALIZED THAT THE ORIGINAL DATES THAT THEY WANTED TO GO WAS GOING TO FALL ON FRIDAY THE 13TH WE THOUGHT THAT WAS CREEPY. I'M NOT DONE. TODAY ANOTHER FRIEND OF MINE AMANDA CALLS ME AND SAYS THAT SHE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I WAS OK. SHE PROCEEDS TO TELL ME ABOUT A DREAM THAT SHE HAD LAST NIGHT THAT WOKE HER UP IN TEARS. IN HER DREAM RAY AND I HAD PURCHASED A HOUSE ON THE LAKE. SHE CAME TO SEE OUR NEW PLACE. I WAS OUT SWIMMING WHEN A FREAK ACCIDENT HAPPENED AND A CAR ENDED UP IN THE WATER ON TOP OF ME. APPARENTLY THAT DID NOT HURT ME BUT INSTEAD I WAS TRYING TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE WATER BY LIFTING IT WHEN ANOTHER CAR CRASHED INTO HERS WHICH CRASHED INTO THE FIRST CAR AND SMUSHED ME BETWEEN THE TWO CARS. SHE SAID IT WAS AWFUL AND SHE WAS LITERALLY SCARED FOR ME AND JUST HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT I WAS OK. (WHAT A SWEET FRIEND) OK, SO NOW I'M NOT SURE IF I DO WANT TO GO CAMPING NEXT WEEKEND. ALL OF THESE WEIRD COINCIDENCES HAS GOT ME FREAKING OUT. OF COURSE ILL GO, BUT I WILL DEFINITELY BE VERY CAREFUL.
