Hali-jax
During the rehearsal for Cinderella tonight one of the cast members had his car broken into. That, along with my wallet being stolen... my friend being sexually attacked at a party.. Nicks car being vandalized... and the information I get from the Metro on my break every day at work has led me to officially decide that Halifax is the only place I've lived where I really don't feel comfortable or safe.
Don't get me wrong, I'm having lots of fun out here and if I could find a way to stay AND still be living close to my friends and family from home I would... but it's scary now that I've really gotten to know it. People are jumped on their way home from the bar... I mean... there was violence in London and Burlington but it was normally (at least from what I remember) crimes of Passion... where the criminal and victim knew each other at least. I find myself now even scared to leave my purse in the womens change room at Yoga because it isn't locked away.
Geeze.
All I can say is.... despite everything... I betcha I can guarantee I am far safer here than in Vancouver... yowza.
