my heart is beating quite rapidly... i went to see a very lovely band play tonight... the band (hershal savage and the american flag) succeeded (sp?) in setting a happy mood for the rest of my summer days.. i took the streetcar home and , due to my cheerfullness, decided not to "request-a-stop" <that is when you ask the streetcar/bus driver to kindly let you off in between two stops really late at night> as my house is on a main street and only half a block away from the stop... anywho, everything was fine until a car pulled over a few houses down...no one got out...(oh, i'm starting to shake just from typing this)...i thought that it would probably be best that i cross the street until i got past the car, and cross back over to my house... so cross the street i did. only.... as soon as i was across from the car it started up again... i walked a little faster...i could see the light on in the living room in my house...my adrenalin was pumping and i coulndn't help but see the nuttyness in possibly being kid-napped outside of my own home when my mother was probably still awake... but no..i couldn't let these thoughts full my mind... i started to cross over and the car pulled over on an angle a few steps on front of me.. i ran like i never ran before..and made my way up the stairs of my house.. but.. on the way up i dropped my cardigan ...i had to let it go, as it did not really matter... i came in and told my mummy what happened and we looked to see if the car had left... it did (i don't think who ever it was would stick around).. i walked over to stairs and retreaved my sweater.. does anyone have any good self defense tips...preferably ways to transform a flimsy cardigan into a sword... well, it seems that my pulse is slowing down a bit.... yours etc. emily. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
