Frightening night.

Ohmygod…someone just broke into our new house…while we were upstairs sleeping. It started with me waking up because of heavy pounding on the front door. We were peeking out the windows upstairs, and I saw a guy walk around the side of the house. Then we heard the guy break in a window. We could hear him bumping into things downstairs. Neither one of us had a cell phone upstairs. Derek told me to hide in the closet while he tried to find something to use as a weapon. We didn’t have anything nearby since we just moved. Derek yelled downstairs at the guy in his most menacing voice. The guy yelled back wanting to know who we were. Derek went downstairs, and the guy ended up being a friend of the guy who used to live here. He said he used to come over like this all the time (who does that?!). He was highly intoxicated/drugged out. Derek finally got the guy to leave and then came upstairs to let me know everything was okay. We came downstairs to check out the damage. The guy had knocked out the kitchen window, breaking the faucet to the sink under the window. We called the cops, and they found the guy, lying in a yard about a block away. Of course, we filed a report and pressed charges. I’ve never been so terrified in my life. I keep thinking of all the what ifs. We were so lucky. It could have been someone seriously menacing. Even though they caught the guy and we’re safe, neither one of us can get back to sleep. I’m so worried the guy’s going to forget the previous tenant moved and come back again. We certainly didn’t think something like this could happen in such a quiet neighborhood.

Edit 07.19.07 2:37 p.m.: It ends up the guy who broke in isn’t a friend of the guy who lived here, but actually an acquaintance. The guy apparently thought it was perfectly acceptable to break in to a person’s house to crash on their couch. He wanted the guy who used to live here to talk us into dropping the breaking and entering charges. Um…that’s a no. Also, the guy who broke in is a guy I went to high school with. Small world, eh?

• What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany’s at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No. I go for the chandelier; it’s priceless. As I’m taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It’s her father’s business. She’s Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico but I go to Canada. I don’t trust her. Besides, I love the cold. Thirty years later I get a postcard. I have a son. And he’s the Chief of Police. This is where the story gets interesting: I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She’s been waiting for me all these years. She’s never taken another lover. I don’t care. I don’t show up. I go to Berlin. That’s where I stashed the chandelier.

• I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.
