i replaced my stolen car stereo, because just one drive to redwood city and back in silence was murder. without the stereo, i was forced to create music myself, and trust me, there was a reason why my sixth grade choir teacher suggested i try out for band instead. plus, the only CD i have completely memorized is RENT, and when i have to do all the different characters myself, believe me, things get ugly.

so now iÕm just keeping my fingers crossed that no one steals the new stereo between now and when i leave for idaho in three weeks. iÕve come to realize that locking oneÕs car doors slows down a stereo thief by approximately 8 seconds while he jimmies the door open. this makes me feel better, since i actually have a nasty habit of forgetting to lock my car doors at night – what can i say? i’m a small-town girl lost in a big city, i do stupid stuff like that. i also got conned into giving this guy ten bucks and my business card once, because he said he was going to mail me the money just as soon as he got back to his mom’s place in sacramento. eight months later, iÕm still checking the empty mailbox for my ten dollars. i want my faith in humanity back, asshole.
