An unexpected abscence

[Ben]

So I had planned to install and fix a bunch of stuff around charas early this week. Im not going to be able to do that until later in the week.

I was attacked by some crackheads while walking down the street. They wanted both of my cigarettes I was carrying.Im generally kind of a ball of nerves right now. Im going to stay at the family farm out in the country for a day or two to forget about this. Ill be back towards the end of the week and get the updates started then. Sorry guys.

[Valiere]

Jeez. My sympathies. I hope you weren't physically hurt or anything.

[Ben]

Nah, Im cool. My back got messed up a bit when the one kid tried to jump on it and pull me off of my bike. Im mostly just pissed off about it. Sick of the city...need a couple of days in the country to get some stuff done.

I don't know whether or not you're being serious with using the word "crackhead." o.o

[Valiere]

Crackheads are a pretty common sight in cities, X. They're the kind of folks who will steal your bike for crack money.

[Ben]

You don't have Junkies where you come from,Ed?

[X_marks_the_ed]

You don't have Junkies where you come from,Ed?

Nope. Most we get are kids who fill peoples' car tires with sand.

Really?
I'm kind of jealous.
I came from a town that was kind of notorious for it's drug problems :/

Not really known for attempted assault though...sorry to hear about that, mate.

[A Forgotten Legend]

My area has some drug problems, but nothing that serious.  No one gets attacked really.  Hope everything gets better for ya, Gemini.

We have alcohol issues where I live. Worst thing that can happen is that they want a smoke or money to buy a beer.

But take care, being attacked is never an easy thing.

Damn, that sucks. These kind of people should be shot down, they're a shame on humanity... hope you get better. A little break is sometime needed, indeed.

[Felix-0]

People suck, that much I found out in life.
I agree with getting away for a bit.
Did it when I was 10 and it worked out for me.

My hometown had/has one of the highest crime rates in New York state.  Not quite sure, since I'm at college.

Take it easy, see you in a week!

Stuff a tube sock with some rice and microwave it, then put it on your back. It will feel much better (it will also keep your feet warm in the winter)
