Shoe Bandit

It was snowing this morning.
The messy kind too;
thick, really wet and sticky-->just half-sludges off ur car as u try to clean it off.



Abnormal Psych Final Exam- Down
I finished and discovered that my car was boxed in by a Campus-50 cruiser, it's red and blue lights flashing.
(aka our university "peace officers"/pretend police.)

Somebody had flown off Saskatchewan Drive and gone down the rivervalley bank... not too far; a little red car was taking a load off on some trees.
Nobody hurt: typical dumb Edmontonian driving behaviour the first day of any time there's bad weather for the first time in awhile.
I've been told by many that we have the worst drivers in the country, and i believe it.



Thankfully i didnt have to wait too long for him to move, i was way too tired to deal with bugging him to let me out.

Going to sleep right away, and in 8 hours will get up to study for tomorrow's test.
Yay for bizar exam-sleeping habits.

On a leaving note:

I got a good kick in the wee hours this morning, while studying, outta the sexual variant topic of abnormal psychology: specifically paraphilias; more specifically diagnosable fetishes.

"Infamous" dude in Seattle has a crazy shoe fetishes.
Now, fetishes can be part of any normal person's lovemap...
it becomes a paraphilia when it's causing distress to the person or to others
(and i guess the criteria is soon changing to include, regardless of distress, a matter of a clinician's view point on whether it may cause harm to someone too) Anyways, i digress.



So the Seattle dude:
Has this bad habit of stealing shoes.
And he does this by going up to women, pushing them over, and grabbing... ONE of their shoes.
(yes, just one)
Dont be alarmed, his intentions weren't to harm the women... and incidentally i don't think any were hurt,
but he just HAD to have their shoes.

I guess when they finally caught up with him, he had like 179 single shoes stacked up in his apartment.
I know it's sad, but i couldn't help picturing him hovering over this treasure.. his mountain of shoes, and rubbing his hands together in a creepy Burns-style gesture, muttering, "excellent".



Yeah, i know, i'm a dork.
Ok, nite nite.
