A special part of hell
Dec. 5th, 2004 11:59 amWhile I understand the capitalist economic imperative of burglary during the holiday season, and despite its cheap use as a plot point in many very special episodes of bad sitcoms where the gang learns the Ultimate Valuable Lesson of the true meaning of Christmas or some shite, I feel there is a special part of hell reserved for those that break into apartments at this time of year.
So as I can't imagine there is anyone who has me friended and doesn't have CC on their flist, you already know what this is about. Some years back this place was burglarized, but I didn't have a computer at the time, so the only irreplaceable thing I lose was my sense of safety. To this day if I accidently leave a light on when I leave the house I freak myself out when I return. A few weeks ago Cassie was in my apartment and turned on a light I never use and I nearly screamed when I opened the door, even though I knew she would be there. Because when I got back to my apartment that evening, after work, that was how I realized someone had been there--they turned on the weird overhead light just outside the bathroom, which I never use. Well, that and that in unlocking the door I actually locked it, because they left it unlocked, and of course that half my shit was all over the floor because they were looking for my nonexistent jewels.
( What you can do, if you want to, and a reward. )
Today, I'm thankful that no one was hurt.
*continues to write holiday cards to get back into the spirit*
ETA: What is wrong with this strain of selfish DV fans, who can't stop thinking of their need for new DV long enough to get their head out of arse? Hoping that DV wasn't on the computer that was stolen? As opposed to, say, many many personal things or possibly something original? Never mind Josh's work, or Ruby's? Seriously, what the fuck, people? A pox on you as well!
