A few random thoughts...

Hmmrr... August is turning out to be a craptastic month for many of us, eh? I'm merely being observant, but I've seen many people having some rough patches throughout the month. Of course, I'm one to talk-- I've been on an emotional roller-coaster of my own. But I'll spare the details, as this is mainly an observation.
...Well, okay. Maybe I can divulge just one of my stressful events that happened just recently. Watch out, though-- it's a strange doozy.
So get this. I'm minding my own business a few nights ago, chatting on Skype and surfin' the web as usual, when this old woman comes knocking on the door of our apartment out of the blue. I have no idea what was going on when all of a sudden I get called out of my room and to the door in question. Then this lady, who need I say doesn't even live in the apartment, starts looking at me all weird. She was acting strange, all wobbly and frightened of me (nothing new, I get this a lot). I ask what's the matter since mom's not very good at speaking English... when all of a sudden she starts to accuse me of jumping over her fence, barging into her home, and swiping $200 from god-knows-where. Of course my eyes immediately go wide, my anxieties kicking in.
Attempting to reason with her didn't work in the slightest, as she kept telling me to look her in the eye and say that I wasn't the culprit... at which I fail incredibly due to my mild anxiety attack. I don't even know this woman, not to mention I spend practically all of my days inside, beside my laptop and other personal belongings. Yet there I was, accused of wrongdoing to the extreme. She almost even had the cops involved because I wouldn't stop fidgeting. It was pretty much a nightmare turned into reality-- people in fear of and spiteful of me simply for the way I look and act. This is why I've practically sworn off from society. Even whilst doing nothing wrong, the world continues to pursue and kick me down. At least, that's how this meek old dragon perceives it, wrong or not.
Later in the night, just as I was about to cry from the pressure, our neighbor in the apartment (who happens to be a cop, ironically enough) came by and explained the misunderstanding-- the even did happen but the culprit was more likely some old geezer that was "staying" with her. ...*shudder* She was also drunk out of her mind, which explains the randomness of it all. But in the end, it was still traumatic for someone like me. I feel like my heart can't physically take any more stress.
Hopefully that's the end of that chapter, though. I've got enough things on my plate right now to be worrying about random crazy people I don't even know. I just hope things eventually get better for all of us.

Sorry to hear you had to be accused of stealing like that. I know you would -never- resort to such things, no matter how much you'd need the money. Do try not to let it get to you too much bud. Like you said, that woman's just out of her mind, and doesn't know what the heck she's talking about.
Alas, that's too much to ask for in this day and age. Thanks for your concern, buddy. I truly appreciate it.
