What the fuck is in the water where you guys live? What's up with the parents there? They don't want her because she shoplifted? What the hell, are they just gonna drop her off? Take her to the landfill and ask her to exit the car and speed away? I'm trying to remember what I've shoplifted. I know when i was 8-10 years old i snagged candy. When I was a teen I stole tapes and records from a couple of record stores. I used to go to the this used music place, and it was a cinch to steal cassette tapes, as they didnt have them in the security gadgets. Well, this was in Atlanta and upon visiting Atl with my friends from NC...taking them to this record store (they had heard about my criminal successes there before) they proceeded to snag tapes. I advised them while we were browsing its not a good idea, they beefed up security and they are more watchful now. But one pal didnt listen and when we exited the store, they stopped him, locked him in and called the cops. They let him go saying it wasnt worth pursuing an out of state residence for such a crime. |
I casually (I thought) said, "no" and headed back into the aisle and started putting some things back. The man was on me in a femtosecond. He saw me putting a couple things back, and figured that was all of it. Also, we hadn't tried to leave the store yet, so hadn't legally done wrong. He told us never to come back to the store (grabbing my decoy purchase from my hands) and booted us wide-eyed and shaking. It was still my biggest haul ever. But I never did it again. It was at least a year before I went back to that store. |

You're a good friend, Oz. She's really lucky to have you. |

i've been in huge trouble before but never anything involving the police. i'm not sure which is worse, being beaten or being yelled at. i guess both are the same. i'm a pretty good girl. stole some pistachios when i was five, a couple quarters were and there from my dad's change funds, a giant cherry coke in july (i had the money but nobody was in the store to ring me up, so i left). it sounds like violet's talking about astral projection. it's okay to fantasize about these things and all, i've done it myself, but please don't get carried away. what you do in your own world can make a major impact on your real life. sometimes unexplained things can happen there that are mirrored here on earth and it can be so 'scared shitless' creepy. it's excellent that your parents know what's going on because they can help you help violet out. it sounds like she needs her friends now more than ever, so be there for her. listen to her and give her advice when she asks for it. try to keep her out of trouble if you can. i think that's all you can really do to help. |
we could only steal filtered cigars. the cigarettes were kept in cages. we stole candy because the parents didn't want us to have sweets. my brother stole road flares and lighter fluid, but got caught. i stole chocolate for the french exchange student. danny stole fishing lures and got caught. i never got caught. |

Well.... they had left their N64 console and games laying out on the floor hooked up to a giant t.v. Conveniently next to it was a carrying case. Well, I was mobile... 1 minute later, I was off on my bike with a newly aquired N64. But after awhile, I thought that I didn't really want it and I took it back. I just had fun procuring the bit. When I get bored, I still do shit like that. I went behind this "soap land" (brothel) once where they had construction scaffolding up. I climbed to the 2nd floor and tapped on the window. Soon a hand opened the door, startling me. So...I stuck my hand in the window grasping grotesquely with a feral growl. I wish you could have heard the scream! Needless to say, I left the place. But came back another day. 1st floor window was open. I watched this chick take her client into the shower room for a "bath." While they were occupied, I picked up the bucket that had the guys jeans and shirt. And wallet. And car keys. I was *really* tempted, but grand-theft wasn't (and still isn't) my cup of tea, so I put it all in a plastic back and rode by the front of the establishment and tossed the bag in when the auto-door opened. I wish I could have been there when the people there had to explain that one to their customer! Ok, I'll shutup now. |

i hate it when people use the word dumb because they almost never use it properly. "dumb" actually means that you can't speak. but i still like that last sentence: "Like Mamma said you dont get much dumber than dead." that's got some rhythm. a natural rhyme right in the middle. rhy rhy rhy rhy rhy!!!!! heh. |

most peopel fall in between, but with the right influences you can do ANYTHING. one thing i dislike about my parents is that they're always so negative to me when i need the most support. my mom told me that last day of my senior year of high school that there was no money for me to go to college. this year, on the last day of finals she told me that she didn't think i was "the college type". don't let ANYONE ever tell you that because they're wrong. there're some people with serious problems that need tons of help but they're few and far between. most of them are just like the rest of us if around the right people. if money was no object, i'd buy a big old house and fill it with cool smart kids with no self-esteeem and help them learn how to achieve their dreams. |

the last time i heard the smiths, i was in a house that is going to be home to a drug party tomorrow. i don't think i'll go. |
its good mopey, dreamy teen music. |
it felt like "dawson's creek". blech. |
"What she asked of me at the end of the day, Caligula would have blushed. 'You've been in the house too long,' she said, and I naturally fled. In my life, why do I smile at people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?" That's not so witty, but that's what's in my head. |
