you know what sucks?
Being mugged. Especially when it doesn't make sense. I was in a nice neighbourhood (Richmond district). It wasn't too late (11:45ish).
I was hanging out with my friend Kyle around the tenderloin and then we walked and caught the Geary bus and he got off at Masonic, I got off at Arguello. I walked down Geary to 2nd Avenue...felt like a car was following me around California Street. Kind of freaked me out, so I got out my pepper spray even though I was only a block from my aunt's house.
As I grew nearer and nearer to my aunt's, I started to feel sicker and sicker. Just had this feeling someone was following me, though I couldn't hear them or see a shadow. Weird, because I usually think that shit is bullshit. So that's exactly what I told myself when I was so scared.
I walked up onto the step thing at my aunt's, decided not to break in (which is my normal mode of entrance) because I figured if I did, he'd see me and then he could follow me inside by breaking in how I did. Naturally, the second I stall to get my key, a man appears, looks me right in the eyes, grabs my purse, discovers that it is messenger-bag style, so pulls me by my purse onto the sidewalk, where he spins me by it to the ground, it gets stuck around my neck, he covers my mouth (I'm screaming), and pulls it away and starts running. Jack opens the apartment building doors, lets me in, calls the cops immediately, they come within a few minutes, I describe the man, and it turns out three other people were mugged in the richmond by him that night. Black man with a dark sweater with white writing...etc.

Fucking scary.

He only took one of my two bags. The bag he didn't take had grey's laptop in it.
The bag he did take had my passport, my camera, my ipod, my scheduling book, etc. Not to mention wallet.
Plus all the silly putty, tape, ibuprofen, scissors, bandaids, hand sanitizer...everything I deem necessary for daily use.



blahblahblah




pee-ess: naturally, my purse had all my keys in it too. Including the keys to my aunt's apartment, and he obviously knows the location of that. So he can get in now if he tries.
Plus I have to make new copies of my house key, laundry room key, storage room key, get a new bike lock...ughhh
