yay! been getting lots done as far as the moving thing goes. i did find someone to cover the first half of my shift at work on the day that we have to do the move out inspection and all that bullshit...hopefully i can find someone to do the last half so i don't have to go in at all! we have an all-staff meeting sunday night, then a floor managers/buyers meeting monday afternoon i don't want to go because i need every second i can squeeze out to devote to packing/moving. of course my boss would have to schedule all this shite around the time i'm in a huge time crunch but i shouldn't be such a little bitch about it...i mean, the world doesn't revolve around me. i just wish it would sometimes, when it's convenient for me hehehe
totally off-topic, but i realized today that i'm not afraid of what a lot of chicks are afraid of...the whole getting kidnapped in the night thing when walking alone. i don't really get scared of that. never have. i do believe, however, that it is foolish for a woman to walk alone at night, but when i do find that i end up doing that, i'm not scared or anything. weird. i guess i trust my instincts enough to know that when i get a bad feeling about something, that's when to be afraid.
the other night i was working on cleaning the house me and dario are going to move into (my stepdad's mom's house in life). i was on a roll and didn't want to leave just because my mom and sister were leaving. i wanted to stay longer and get more done, and my mom expressed that she didn't want me walking alone at night. i know she's a mom and they're always uber-paranoid about their kids' well-being, but i honestly felt fine about staying...plus the walk to my apartment from there is about a half hour if you're walking real slow, and it's in an extremely well-lit area with tons of houses so there are tons of people about. anyway, rambling. i guess my point is that having no car sometimes relegates me to being on foot in the dark by myself, and i can't afford to be afraid of it...i'm not going to put my life on hold and live in a bubble just because of a very small possibility some pervo in a large van might decide to kidnap me...plus, i always carry a rather large knife and pepper spray...haha.

SHIT

to add more to that...maybe it's because guys don't talk about it a lot. i'm sure many guys have anxiety about walking alone at night and feel just as timid and apprehensive walking alone as a girl...they just don't all express it, so it seems like it doesn't exist when it very well does.
