Not the smartest urban predators.

absolutedestinyI just got attacked today, literally outside my front door!
Well more like an opportunistic attempt to snatch my food but still. Cheeky fuckers.
The basic story is that some very bored-seeming teenagers were hanging around outside my flat. I had to walk around the outside to meet a dumb Dominos delivery guy who couldnt find the correct entrance. About 8 or 9 sixteen to eighteen year olds were clearly looking for something to do, creeping alongside the ground floor windows behind the bushes, that sort of thing. As I trundled back to the apartment block with my pizza in hand, I was not-too-subtly followed. The moment I started entering the code to get in the place some prick tried to snatch the pizza out of my hands. Luckily for me it was a feeble attempt; my quick reactions and knee-jerk response of "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING" caused the fool to flee from the scene, his friends scattering in all directions like cockroaches. *sigh*
If I were 18 I wouldn't be entertaining myself with petty theft, I'd be trying to shag other 18 year olds. Or at the least play lots of video games, listen to loud music and smoke all sorts of interesting substances. Kids today, I dunno.
The day hasn't been all bad though. I finished putting together my new dvd set.
The clamshells are double-sided holding both discs at once. I'm pretty happy with it. Now I just have to see how many I can burn and print before I fly on the 7th. Not to mention how many I think I can carry with me. I guess we'll see.
