Running In Place

Be Here Now

The place that I live…

Filed under: General — lara at 9:46 am on Tuesday, February 7, 2006

What the hell’s in our water! Since my family and I have moved to this small, rural town just over 3 years ago here’s what’s happened within a 7 mile radius of my house: a son brutally murdered both his parents, supposedly for their money; a man was accidentally killed by his neighbor with a baseball bat during a fight over property; a woman was strangled and stabbed in the throat by a former boyfriend, she survived and he committed suicide by cutting his own throat (this last happening only about 3 weeks ago). The latest excitement, on Sunday night, was this. Looks like there might be a little deficit in impulse control ’round these here parts. So don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.

All we have around here is an asshole who killed a mentally challenged woman with a telephone cord in a fit of sexual aggression.

The world my friend, is a terrible heartless mess…

Somehow I can’t picture you angry or mean enough to do any of that. But I think I will stay on your goodside anyhow. *grin*

Lord knows what you’re capable of if you don’t like the results of the Boilermaker. ;-)

Whoa – if we ever end up running a race together – I’ll be sure to lag behind! Hmm, that would probably happen naturally anyway!!

So what do we think the mental evaluation will reveal? Hmmmmm. Overdose of football.

I, in my stereotypically Canadian peace-loving, we-can’t-afford-an-army way, really try hard not to make folks mad at me.

Sounds like your whole neighbourhood needs an anger management class, or a good choclatier to move in, or something…
