Thou Shalt Not Cause Heart Failure in Delinquent Teens

I had such a crazy day yesterday! Specifically, last night. No wonder I still have a headache.
So I'm gonna try and keep this as short as possible...basically, I caught this girl shoplifting. Her friend didn't take anything, but she knew her buddy was shoplifting and was looking out to make sure I wasn't watching (which of course I was). So she was an "accessory" (no pun intended, as I do work at an accessory store). Anyway, I caught them, and when I'd called security and informed her that she was going to arrested for shoplifting, she complained of "chest pain". I told her, calmly, to sit down and relax. Of course, I wasn't buying it, because I'm sure a shoplifter certainly would try a lame excuse like that. So security arrives, and she tells them she has a heart condition.
Oh.
But that's no excuse! She was taken to the back room with her friend, and security waited with her. I did the paperwork I needed to do, and waited for the police. As it turns out, the reason they were taking so long was because someone was being arrested at Shoppers for stealing, and there was a drunk guy upstairs in the food court causing problems, plus they were understaffed. So it was quite a wait. The girl's mom showed up. The kid was 16 but her mom was called because she was having heart trouble. So they're all waiting back there with the security guard, I'm just filling out the last of my report, when suddenly I hear screaming and yelling for me to call 9-1-1 as the girl has collapsed.
Fuck.
So I call them straight away, tell them I need an ambulance right now and am put through to the ambulance dispatcher. I tell him everything. He told me to calm down. I actually was calm, but I was talking fast (as usual). So I kept relaying to him her status...unconcious...shallow breathing...low pulse...oh, she's concious again...unconcious again. It was awkward, because I was using the store phone, and the security guard was in the doorway of the store room telling me what I needed to tell the dispatcher. It was scary, but at least I managed to keep my head. So her mom has done this before I guess so she knew what to do but was very shaken. I assured her EMS would be here soon. Luckily the store only had one customer at the time. Me and Maria moved all of the stuff out of the way so the paramedics could get through, and I went and met them at the door. There were two lady paramedics with a stretcher and about three or four firemen. I told them everything and they got the girl okay. One paramedic laughed when I told her I was gonna have a heart attack in a minute. How stressful! So they all left and that was that. Later when I was cleaning up after close, police finally arrived. I told them what happened, and they got my information.
So...we obviously couldn't arrest her, but Claire's will still press charges. Whatever...I'm just glad that a) I caught a shoplifter and b)she didn't die. But the whole time I was thinking "If this doesn't teach her a lesson, nothing will." I mean, honestly, if you have a heart condition that is aggravated when you panic and your heart races, which will happen when you are told you're going to jail for shoplifting, maybe you shouldn't shoplift.
Just a thought.

Musical Quote of the Day

"Days swiftly come and go
I'm dreaming of her
She's seeing other guys
Emotions they stir
The sun is gone
The nights are long
And I am left while the tears fall

Did you think that I would cry
On the phone?
Do you know what it feels like
Being alone?
I'll find someone new

Swing swing swing
From the tangles of
My heart is crushed
By a former love
Can you help me find a way
To carry on again?"

Aaaaaaaaaaargh...Die, Period!

I know, I'm not one for subtlety. I'm sorry, but when I'm having my period, y'all are gonna hear about it. Especially men. And yes, I do have every right to bitch. If you were losing this much blood, you'd die.
Needless to say, my red cell count is probably rock bottom. No wonder I'm moody. Stupid iron defficiency. And not being able to spell it.
Whisper of the Heart is a cute movie, guys. But hella long. Not as good as Howl's Moving Castle, but still good. It made me kinda sad...made me think of Japan and about how much I want to go back. I miss my host family.
Oh well. This time next week I'll be completely happy. And I might have my iPod Nano by then! Okay...okay, I admit it, I said I wasn't going to get a new mp3 player but...Nano's are so fucking sweet! Have you seen those things?! They're TINY!
My glasses are broken. I'm getting new ones. What style? Not rimless...they looked nice but I want a change. Something more substantial.
And now, let us cry our eyes out and eat Halloween candy whilst listening to the

Musical Quote of the Day

"I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly
I don't care no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually
What you'll do

I don't mind
I don't care
As long are you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden
And I have the skill
Yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am

I don't mind
I don't care
As long are you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same

Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It's all the same
In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same

Go ahead say it you're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same"

Super Emotion, POWER UP!

Despite the humourous title of this blog, I am quite depressed and emotionally drained. Also, tired. I should go to bed, I suppose, but my mind is absolutely not ready to rest.
And it probably doesn't help with all the candy.
I'm just tired of everything.
And I'm fucking pissed off that my mp3 player is broken. I don't particularily want a new one, either. This one is cute, and has Hello Kitty stickers, and I liked it when it was working and I'll never get another one because Mom is going to be furious when she finds out it's busted. Plus, even if I did get another one for Christmas or something, I sure as heck wouldn't get anything else, and I'd probably break that one too. So, no mp3 for me.
Fuck I'm lonely.

Musical Quote of the Day

"I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
But does he notice
My feelings for him?
When will he see
How much he means to me?
I think it's not to be

What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions leave us then?
And though I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may it doesn't last
And will we ever
End up together?
No I think not
It's never to become
For I am not the one"
