norfolk. there's your problem.

yep

16 yrs ago today, one of our dogs got hit by a car

name was Bootsie, it was a black pomeranian with white feet, it was a black lady that hit him (she was nice though, as she knocked on our door to ask if we had a little dog)

12/27/2008 9:53:13 PM

what a bitch

12/27/2008 9:53:57 PM

how did these events make you guys feel?

12/27/2008 9:54:10 PM

i was 8

i think our replacement dog at the time was another black pomeranian, whom we named Snoop Doggy Dogg

that dog was cool as shit, my friends would come over to play basketball, if they did that head nod thing like when u say 'whats up' he would head nod back

oh my! Group session. I want a part. I have a lot of baggage!

12/27/2008 9:56:10 PM

^^ now that is radical.

12/27/2008 9:56:36 PM

he was also hit by a car, like 3 different times

all he did was roll over and run back into the yard

12/27/2008 9:58:26 PM

it made me feel pretty shitty...

I felt like I wasn't a very good protector. Because my girlfriend was sleeping nekkid in the bed just 30 minutes before we went out to lunch (and got robbed). I couldn't even manage to keep people out of my apartment when I wasn't there.

I felt like a dummy. Because I was stupid enough to allow myself to get "scoped out" as a target for robbery.

I felt violated. Some stranger was in my apartment...around my things...taking my stuff.

I felt angry. Because some mother fucker stole a few g's worth of shit.

I felt very unsafe. I never spent another night there in that apartment. I moved us to The Radisson that very night, on the 9th floor....and lived there for about a month.

12/27/2008 9:59:25 PM

that's a really stressful event EMCE. (i, too, would have moved out and never looked back)

i'd be most concerned about the violated feeling. i don't like that one

12/27/2008 10:07:37 PM

yeah, it was a drag.
the worst part was that one of the items stolen was my laptop. That laptop had my thesis on it that I was working on.
Luckily, I was able to recover a draft in gmail that I had sent out about 3 weeks prior. It doesn't sound that bad....but imagine how much work you can put into writing a document when you work on it for 5+ hours a day for 3 weeks

I had renter's insurance, so everything was replaced. But you can't replace a thesis :-/

12/27/2008 10:14:58 PM

i was broken into, then we moved and within a month, we had been broken into again. awesome luck i had in the fall of 2007.

the first guy was caught at least.

I'm sorry for your misfortune, Sir

12/27/2008 10:21:12 PM

funny thing was, both times they stole our digital cameras first my gf's, then mine

both times there were thousands of dollars worth of other stuff (including laptops, instruments, etc) in the same room as the camera. i guess cameras are easy to carry.

^4 that's terrible. i haven't written a thesis, but i can imagine how much work and time that was lost there. that's irreplaceable.

my dad's house got broken into and he lost a tape (that was in his video camera) from my half-brother's 1st birthday and christmas (among many, many other things). he was all tore up about it. he put an add in the paper asking for it back stating he wouldn't press charges. he never got it, of course, but those once in a lifetime things are the worst to lose.

12/27/2008 10:24:14 PM

yeah

they got my digital camera (that I had JUST gotten for christmas), and my girl's digital camera
xbox360 + games
laptop
a lockbox
ipod
backpack
$100 cash
some other crap

12/27/2008 10:24:44 PM

damn, that's a stash right there.

12/27/2008 10:26:04 PM

hah, yeah
someone is sitting pretty right now

none of it ever turned up


I still think that Joie was the mastermind behind it all

jeez a flip. that is quite a list. Have you been able to purchase those things again?

12/27/2008 10:28:13 PM

yeah, renter's insurance helped a lot

I bought the same camera. I still need to buy her a camera. Waiting on on both of us to save so we can splurge on a dslr
got the 360 back with most of the games
got a new laptop
lockbox was taken care of (contents of it)
ipod - never bothered to get a new one
backpack - well, it was a laptop backpack. Didn't get a new one, but got a new laptop case
$100 cash was G's. So I just gave that to her
replaced the other crap.
