i have this terrible habit of walking alone at night, through the dodgy and the well-lit streets. i simply stroll where ever i desire, not considering the fear i should have of those around me nor the hour of the twilight. i’m very alert and quite perceptive, but most of the time i simply don’t care of the men around me.
reading about Parisha reminded me how important it is to be prepared at all times.
i’m a woman, if you haven’t figured that much out. a bit younger than Parisha, a lot more callous. a man approached me the other day and made a lewd gesture with his tongue. my first impulse was to grab him and hit him, but instead i made a curt remark and walked past him. then i grew angry, then enraged at him and his gall to insult me. in my moment of fury i stopped, turned around and decided to track him down. i followed him into a side alleyway, where he had confronted another woman, a tall blond. i walked directly towards him, he startled to see me walking in a stright path looked at me somewhat bewildered.
i gave him such a verbal thrashing that the end he felt the shame he was lacking and to my surprise he looked at me sheepishly and apologized. at the time i felt really good about myself, and better yet that i had humiliated him in front of another woman to further his disgrace. however, hearing about Parisha reminds me that i need to be on guard and not so eager to confront those who agitate me (either that or buy the micro-uzi i’ve been desiring for quite some time:).
i hope she’s well. i can’t believe Imperial changed the graduation date!

Wow, that was good of her friends and even better for Imperial.

When her classmates found out she couldn’t attend, they boycotted the ceremony. Amazingly the uni agreed, and the date is being given for a time after she will have recovered.
