Some guy in San Francisco tried to violate my mom, in front of me and my dad.
Thank the Christ Dad was an ex-body-builder, but the major ass-hat didn't learn his lesson and started making moves on a five year old. The poor girl's parents had to step in. Read that again and understand why I won't visit San Francisco ever again.
....Aw. ;3;
Totally understandable, though. And sadly, there are quite a lot of these gigantic asshats in Ess Eff... I had some jerk grab my ass, twice, while I was riding on the bus once. Having his foot stomped on by a chick in steel-toed boots, thankfully, was an effective deterrent.
I can stomp pretty hard. >:3
And then there was one random guy who was even worse- he kept soliciting me for sixual favors, and when I told him in no uncertain terms to Gee Tee Eff Oh, he actually punched me.
In the face.
He was drunk, mind you, but
still.
(Incidentally, he got a fist straight in the solar plexus for his troubles. I am nothing if not a violent retaliator. The wheezy sound was a glorious thing to hear.)
Anyway. Creepy things, you say?
...Well, the most surreal thing that ever happened to me, at least in recent memory, was waking up at 3 a.m. to someone pounding on my front door. This was only a few months after I moved into my apartment, mind you, and when I went to see who it was, it turned out to be
the police.
Now, naturally, my mind immediately jumped to "OH F*** WHAT DID I DO", as it so often does when confronted by law enforcement. Knee-jerk reaction; not particularly logical, but there you have it.
Turns out, they were there because my neighbors had called them, thinking that someone in the apartment (me) was being either abused or murdered.
I should mention that I talk in my sleep.
I also
scream in my sleep.
Loudly.
As if I am being impaled, according to various sources. >.>
So as it turned out, I was just having some kind of nightmare (I don't even remember what it was), and so the cops went on their way and I flopped back into bed, but
man was it ever strange.
Oh, yes. Also, we have a poltergeist in our apartment. We call him Fred. He enjoys opening and closing the refrigerator door in the middle of the night. So far as we know, Fred has never actually
eaten anything in the fridge- maybe he just likes messing with us.
