the holidaze
tis the season.
the bad news: in the past month, i lost an ex-coworker, james kim, to a tragic accident, and a friend, allison, to a suicide. it sucks.
the good news: many awesome holiday parties and good shows. december is great for holiday parties, isn't it?
the weird news: today, my crazy neighbor, who's long been approaching me and saying hi and being weird and even asking me out, apparently tried to break into my house. five minutes after i left. my roommate was home, and was in the kitchen when he saw someone open the back window (which has one of those locks on it so you can only open it a couple of inches), pry his arm through, and reach around to un-do the bolt lock on the door, when my roommate stopped him and said "hey, what are you doing?" the crazy neighbor guy, who lives next door in a big house full of people (all related), said, "oh, is your girlfriend home?" to which my roommate said, "uh, elise?" and the neighbor said, "uh, yeah... i was going to have coffee with her" ...or something like that. nevermind the fact that he had to scale an eight foot fence to get into our back yard, which is an offense in an of itself, or that he climbed up our back stairs to our back door... the whole scenario makes me think he's come in before, how would he know he could get that window that is closed open enough from the outside to pry his arm in and reach it around to un-do the bolt? i have visions of him in my bedroom when i'm at the office sniffing my dirty underwear out of my dirty laundry basket, and i'm totally grossed out. my roommate called the cops, after we conferred and talked to our landlord, and the landlord's daughter, who lives upstairs, is beyond freaked and now talking about barbed wire on the fence. she's told all our surrounding neighbors, and after the cops came (the neighbors didn't answer their door when they rang), my roommate and upstairs neighbors said there was a mass exodus involving suitcases and multiple cars.
i don't know what to think. but i'm still completely creeped out.
