10% pepper

today i bought my first can of pepper spray. michelle was telling me this story about this crackhead she saw in the carpark..he was hiding behind a pole and when she got to the elevator he started running at her! so she grabbed her pepper spray with one hand, and started banging on the elevator button with the other, and she managed to get into the elevator just in time. that sold me on the pepper spray right there. where i work is nice (i guess the carpark isn't really..), and where i live is nice... its just most of the places in between that are crappy. i run into some very shady characters every day. i was downtown at about 8 tonight and even that was a bit too late to be there by myself. there are people just standing there by the side of the street... and you don't really know what they're doing there. and then there are those people that talk all loud to themselves, and skinny middle aged white ladies with ratty hair and 15 plastic bags full of crap. these people don't look homeless either. they're just.. there.

yeeeeeh i don't think i'm going to stay till november. my mum got kinda upset and sad when i told her about it today. expect me home in september.

i left work early to go shopping today. i think i'm preppy when i'm in america or something.. coz i only seem to like stores like abercrombie or hollister or american eagle. papaya and forever 21 clothes look all cheap and hoochy. american fashion sucks. i wonder what they think of our stores when they come to australia.

elaine's coming on monday!! yay friends! (i hope she actually comes this time)
