H called me a couple of minutes ago and thus, this conversation ensued:
older bro: did you lock all the doors? double-lock them and set the alarm!
me: i'm lazy! i'm in my room! and i'm tired! i don't want to double-lock the fucking doors!
older bro: lock the doors! i'm serious!
me: but i thought you were coming back?!
older bro: i will! but i will call you before i get there! you gotta double-lock the doors!
to most, this appears to be a reasonable request. after all, i'm all by my lonesome tonight and, besides the fact that i'm a girl, i have no formal training in self-defense in the event that our house is burglarized. but see, it becomes problematic since the province is in the midst of a massive snowstorm -- which started yesterday, btw, and fuck you, mother nature, for ruining my plans of getting my bracelet repaired -- and there's about at least a foot of snow on our driveway. do i even have to remind him that our street has not been plowed and stealing will be unlikely considering that all get-away routes around our house are blocked by snow?
sometimes, i'm just amazed at how people rationalize the most ridiculous things! H is waaay too imaginative (and clearly insane) to think that shit like that will happen at this time and in this weather! but because i do not want to suffer from permanent hearing loss (which may very well happen because H is an asshole and loves to hear himself yell), i will double-lock and set the alarm right after i hit the "post to squeakyshoes" button.
