Fucking hell. My friend C was just robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight outside a theatre in Hollywood. She's okay, but she's really shaken up and has lost both her iPhone and her iPad, neither of which she can afford to replace. I am shaking with fury and worry and helplessness.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh my god, that's so scary. I'm glad she's all right.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh no, Pix! That is so scary.

The status is NOT quo.
Apparently she was sitting in her car outside the theatre waiting for a meeting and a guy walked up, stuck a gun through her window, and demanded her phone and iPad. She apparently didn't realize it was a gun initially and grabbed at it thinking he was soliciting her. Oh God she could have been killed so easily.
She doesn't know any of our numbers by heart except, thankfully, ND's because she worked with him for years before smartphones. She went into the theatre and borrowed someone's phone to call him. He told me and helped set up a full wipe on the devices through iCloud, I called our other best friend B who lives in Hollywood, and she drove over to the theatre and found C talking with the police. Once she's done we are all going to meet up so she isn't alone.

Pix, how awful! I'm so glad C wasn't hurt.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Yikes--and yay for ND's tech skills!

Pix - that is awful. I'm glad that C is okay and that ND was able to wipe the devices.

We took our young Irish friend (who came to America to hook up with a guy and is now married and 8 weeks pregnant, but we love her anyway even though we think she's very silly) out today because she doesn't drive here and doesn't have access to a car anyway. We took her to lunch then to a museum up at Brigham Young University. While there, a woman my age (late 40s/50s, more than old enough not to be threatened by 19 year olds anymore)went up to her, gave her a smarmy grin, and said, "You're so cute and thin. I hate you," huffed, glared, and left. Nadine said if she'd been back home, she would have gotten in the woman's face and challenged her, but in Utah she's becoming used to the weird passive/aggressive sweetly phrased insult.
