I've always wondered how I would respond under pressure if I was being robbed or something. I guess I thought I would react well becasue when I was in high school one night a man followed me out to my car in a grocery store parking lot and I was scared out of my mind. When he caught up with me he placed his hand on my shoulder from behind and my instincts kicked in and I threw him to the ground ... turns out it was just a sweet old man from my ward who wanted to say Hi. Whoops! ... luckily he was a retired FBI agent and rather impressed by my manuver and spent the next few years trying to convince me to join the FBI.
Well yesterday I thought someone had broken into my house (it was really just Mark thankfuly playing a joke on me). I thought I was about to die and this is what I did ... I was on the phone at the time and I chucked my cell phone across the room, screamed and threw myself onto the floor. Really?!! That's the best I have? Why would I throw my phone as far away as possible? Wow. I'm really an idiot. I guess my real insticts are to be submissive to try and avoid getting hurt. Maybe I should work on that.

That is hilarious! I'm impressed that you threw a guy to the ground when you were younger--I don't think I could ever do that! I bet in a real emergency you would defend yourself like you did earlier...either that, or maybe your predator will let you go for giving up so easily! :)
Hehe. I have done almost the exact same thing, and Aaron wasn't even trying to scare me! Hahaha.
Thanks for the laugh, that cracked me up!
ha!!! this is great. i bet the guy would be glad you are not in the fbi now hehe
Did you not learn anything from the movie "Taken"...
you are supposed to hide under a bed, call someone and then describe everything you see and hear.
I am really impressed with that whole "busting down the old guy in the parking lot" thing that you did. Mark is a funny guy. I think I would have hit him.
