I'll start out by asking a question that has been on my mind since about 2am this morning... "What the hell is wrong with people these days?!"

Went to a Garou game last night, which ran pretty late. I was a bit concerned about not getting enough sleep (I can generally work with 3 or 4 hours, so I dediced to crash at Erik's (my boyfriend's) place. Now, Erik and all of my friends really are night owls. It was me, Erik, and Frank, and Erik's roomies, Shane and Darcy (they weren't with us at the game but were up when we got to his place) The boys went out to go to 7-11, which is all of a block away, and I decided to stay behind and crash.

A short time later Erik comes into the room. I don't even think I had a chance to really totally fall asleep. As it turns out, on their little walk to 7-11 (which we do all the time, almost every night that there are people hanging at his place, and I've even had zero problems going even by myself) went bad. They were mugged in that short 5 miniute walk, at gun-point.

Many things went hurdling through my mind at that moment, including my previously mentioned question "What the hell is wrong with people these days?!". Had I actually gone along with them, I wouldn't have a clue as to what I would have done. Stay? Run? Scream? Cry? Faint? I don't think I would have had any control over my reaction to that. Guns absolutely scare the hell outta me. What would I have done if either of them was hurt or worse? I wouldn't have even found out if anything did happen to them for a long time, I would have been upstairs, trying to get a couple of hours of sleep before work, eventually wondering where they ran off to. I hardly slept at all after that.

One last thing that I wanted to include, which also goes along with my earlier statement, "What the hell is wrong with people these days?!". Erik unfortunately lives in the area "protected" not just by any LAPD office, but the infamous Rampart Division. I cannot see how cops can be less helpful on any situation. Not only did they take forever to respond to teh report, but they made Erik and Frank go outside of the apartment complex and meet with them on the street in their car to finish the report. They've never been very friendly or responsive in the past, but when you're talking about someone going around in a neighborhood, with a GUN, you would think they would show a bit more concern.

Well, that's enough with my disgust for people in the world today. Hopefull my day/mood changes today. My couple of hours of sleep resulted in a nightmare, and I've just been a bit shaken up so far this morning.
