So...I went to the movies today. The Dark Knight. I had fun. It was great. Fan-fucking-tastic.
A-and...I got up, and my wallet was gone. Just gone. Vanished. Kaput. Ping. 120+ dollars, two credit cards, my license, a gift card...vanished. Completely. I searched the theater, enlisted the ushers...everyone...for an hour...nothing.
I'm both ashamed of and amused by my behavior there. I snapped. My temper...my bad side, the guy who wants to smash kneecaps and then some for the sake of some wallet just sort of leapt out. Steven went into the theater, Big Bad Steve came out, ready to smack a bitch. Yes, I actually told the management that I'd gladly inflict bodily harm on whoever swiped it. Then I told them that they should "throw the fucker in jail", that was "after I finish with him".
They were real sports about it- it was all "Sir, we're doing all we can do" and "I understand what you're going through- you need to put this in perspective." I've never lost a thing of value in my life (the only rational words I got out), so I think perspective was out of the question.
(In a fit of- heh,- 'glorious' inspiration, I wondered if I should flip a coin to decide it: heads, I go home and pray to God, Buddha, and SpongeBob that somebody has enough moral decency to turn it in, tails, I stay here and keep searching...as if it'd show itself...that or the thief, because I think I meant it. Of course, I didn't have any coins to my name! They're gone!)
So, I'm a theft victim. Or something. I can't do anything about this. I've cancelled my cards, and I'm going to get my license replaced. The cash and the gift card worries me the most, but I've always had a strange mania about money: spending it, using it, losing it.
I've calmed down quite a bit, but I can't say that I wouldn't want Texas-style justice inflicted on whoever swiped it. And I think the fact that this violent side of me came out again (it hasn't been the first time) doesn't really help matters. I made a spectacle of myself, and I was convinced I was acting as the rational one there at the time! (This is where stuffing my anger all the time gets me.) I hate this.
I really, really need a drink. Or something. Sleeping pills? Or do I just lay down, pull the covers over my head and hope something good comes out of this? Choices, choices. I have no idea.
And the goddamn mood thing is broken as well. Great. Just peachy.
I'll be online, but forgive me if I'm abrasive in any way towards you guys. :-/
