Something I did yesterday reminded me of my being the lil' prick i was as a kid
Anyway... all that was yesteryear... but lastnight when i got home, before i had the chance to watch the Appendices of the extended edition of The Fellowship of the Ring DVD that I borrowed from Abe, I found this "thing" that my mum had supposedly "stolen" from work.
See my mum works as a tagger at the J. Norman warehouse somewhere near Finsbury Park and she brought one of the staple/tagger things home. She has the habit of asking me if i want any junk she finds. And has a worse habit of interupting me whiles i'm on the phone or playing a game on the xbox.
Just happens that she was trying to interrupt me when I was just trying out the copy of Quantum Redshift that I'd just acquired with the aim of selling off but just realised is too good to sell. She was saying something along the lines of;
"Hey I stole this from work, do you want it?"
So I said "Oh c'mon, leave me alone"
"I'll show you how it works". She takes a piece of paper and tags it onto a bag
"Great, I want it then" i said, just to get rid of her
That was two days ago. So when I saw this "thing" lying around when i went home lastnite, I thought i'd try it out. I took pieces of paper and tagged it to anything i could find that wasnt mine.
You know how annoying it is to get them tags off new clothes right? It's one of those things you know is always easy if you get a knife and just slice it, but you decide anyway that you're gonna pull it off. Now there are letters, envelopes, scrap pieces of paper stapled to curtains, towels, napkins... y'know house hold stuff made of cloth.
I cant wait till my mum gets back from work tonight and see the evil that she's brought home. Afterall, it's a staple/tagging cross thing and since it's had no other use... she shouldnt have brought it home.
One thing i dont understand it... why my mum keeps on saying she stole it. I think she thinks it's kindda naughty if she says she stole it. The way i think, you steal something if it's of some use to you. Or out of malice as in, you think the other person will miss it. Or if you're paid to steal it without it being of any use to you yourself.
Now tell me that Jane Norman will miss one of their staple/tagger cross things. No! And what use is that thing to anyone at home? Nada!. How much will anyone pay for one of those things? Zilch!
Apart from reminding me of how much mischief i was up to as a kid, and still capable of being up to, that thing is useless.

"Accidentally" killing animals as a child? That's the makings of a serial killer. I pray for your soul young man.
And I hope you mom whops your ass. You're not to old for that, you know!

Its true though - all the serial killers display this trait as kids sooo watch it boi!! Coupled with your latent Schizophrenia, its a terrible cocktail- perfect for mayhem on the internet!!!
