Title: How I got robbed, Erica almost died, but we had a party anyway
Post by: GilloD on August 02, 2009, 09:47:12 PM
So, Friday night. We go out, we have an awesome time, we get super drunk. We come around 1 and goof for awhile. A bunch of my friends are in town- There are 7 of us sleeping on our living room floor and 4 of us sleeping in a bedroom. Around 4:30 we go to bed. My wife wakes up at 8- She can't find her  laptop. She thinks someone stole it. I'm like- Dude, thats stupid. There are 11 people here, no one would wander in and steal your laptop.

People start waking up. And a purse is missing. Bags are ripped open. My laptop and iPod are gone. Cell phones are missing. The outside door to our apartment is wide open. The genius in Apartment 3 was moving out and left the front door to the building wide open. They picked the first lock and just credit card'ed the second.

So, everyone is understandably upset, but pretty okay. We're happy no one got hurt. Someone says they woke up and saw someone moving around, but just figured it was one of us. They already charged like 1000$ worth of shit to someone's card. We're all kind of freaked that they were just walking around whil we were sleeping. We call the cops and settle into breakfast. Which is when Erica almost died. Kind of?

One of her pupils is fucking HUGE and the other one is regular sized. Our friend Quinn who is not a doctor but is a kind of survival dude and knows that this is a sign of neurlogical disfunction. Erica goes to the hospital,, some of us stay behind to wait for the cops and call the bank.

Also, it's August 1st, so we're moving out and some new people are moving in. So my wife and I are boxing shit up, waiting for the cops and hoping that Erica isn't dead. Also, because most of our cell phones are stolen, someone is on a bike, acting as a messanger between those of us moving/waiting for the cops and those of us waiting at the hospital to hear if Erica is DEAD.

Cops come- There were like 6 burglaries in our area that night, so we're ingood company. We
re also glad no one woke up- Someone got stabbed when they caught the dudes rummaging around in their apartment. Erica survived, but she's on some kind of 24/7 alert thing. The doctors think she had some kind of an aneryurism or a brain stem injury. Fucked up. We manage to move out, mostly.

After that we had already invited like 60 people to a party and no one had a laptop or a cell phone to call people and tell them it was off, so we had the party. I completely conked out around 12. I got up[ at 8 to start cleaning up. Then my parents came to pick up some of our boxes. Then church. I am a whole new kind of tired.

Anyway, that's how I lost my laptop and my iPod and my credit card all at once. And how my wife lost her thesis (They stole her THUMB DRIVE for fuck's sake) and her new laptop, but how Erica almost died and we had a party and moved out, anyway.

Well at least everybody's all right and you have an amazing story to tell.

Your life is the most amazing one Ive ever read about on the internet. You should write a book or something.

good that you're okay and making the best of it.  :D

I was going to ask why you don't have deadbolts in the city, but remembered you had a crew in there.  :P

Damn, man... good thing nobody was hurt, and your friend didn't die. Brain aneurysms are some scary shit, my mom's cousin recently had one and had to be operated on.

I'm re-watching Wall-E with the kids while we pack for our vaykay. I'm also pre-emptively grieving for knowing I can never compete for "worst move day ever" story.  :-\

Hll what a weekend. All the best to your friend Erica, thats some scary stuff G. That thesis being stolen is unbelievable too, are there no other partial copies whatnot? (in her mail)? Cant believe the thieves had guts to steal with so many people around too. Fucking balls of steel.

Cops said the last guy they caught doign this was fucking 14. And they send them to family court and the court says "Dont do it again" and they're back on the street in 2 weeks. Ugh.

Anyway, she has a copy of her thesis, but her notes and stuff were on the laptop and backed up to a now stolen thumb drive and iPod. It's silly that she wasn't backing up to a server, but.

We're sleeping in the basement of where we lived for a week. It was going to be two weeks, but it's not gonna work. I feel like a character in someone else's story. It is incredibly bizzare to sleep somewhere you lived and all of a sudden not be able to touych anything or go in any of the rooms. I barely slept.

I am a whole new kind of tired. I just feel like. Drastically worn out. I don't even feel like I slept, I feel like I just rested. It's really weird. It's an occassion that makes you realize how many systems must micormanage to the day-to-day of your being. It's like Battlestar Galactica when the ship gets attacked and everyone runs around pressing buttons on the computer, haha.

I feel better being at work. Having something to do other than feel tired and sit around. I had this weird dream last night- I was on an out of control airplane and I woke up with a jolt and I kicked my leg so hard that I actually brusied it. I've never pulled a muscle that badly, it still hurts this morning. (I also pooped my pants a little hahahahaha I wasn't sure if I should post that).

Erica is your GF or your dog? Cause you don't make it clear enough in the OP.

Neither. Erica is a friend of his, his wife's name is Mary.

Nice lady, btw.





haha. GreenMan is now my official biographer.

From watching House marathons constantly, aneurysm is the first thing that came to mind when I read about Erica's dilated pupil. Hope she ends up ok  :-\
