Hostages, the new Alexis Bledel show, and SVU are all shooting within a five block radius of my home tonight.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What a perfect cover for a crime.
"Officer! I just saw someone acting suspicious!"
"It was probably an actor practicing."

Our wings are not tired.
When I was 8 and living in Hilo, Hawaii, my best friend (and troublemaker) was a few years older. We went to the JC Penney across the street from our cabañas and "tried on" bras. And then Helene talked me into leaving the store wearing 7 or 8 of the bras under my t-shirt.
I was caught. And taken into security. And police people yelled at me. I gave all the bras back, and they were likely soaking in tears.
Helene had already skipped home, no contraband lingerie on her person.
I haven't stolen a damned thing since.

Heh. Glad I'm not the only one who has no PLANS to commit a crime, but still considers whether a situation would be ripe for it.
I don't recall stealing anything from restaurants, though I have aided and abetted those who did (salt shaker, a bunch of Brits in college who were visiting us and reallllly wanted the mugs from IHOP, etc)

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Yay, Jilli!
I was a hardened Lip-Smackers thief from K-mart when I was 10. But I got over it.
A friend in college went through a serious stealing phase -- she stole a lot of things from Wal-Mart, including (HOW?!) a toaster-over under her hippie skirt. IN A BOX. Course, I ended up pretending to be her over the phone when her husband got arrested for stealing soft tacos from Taco Bell, because she was in hysterics. That couple had issues...

We are the people law enforcement are grateful for--clever enough to see a plan, smart enough not to do it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
billytea, remember that we need the definition of 'over-servicing', preferentially one that's SFW.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
"Threatment", I believe.

My little brother (who was indeed a little thief) would react badly in later years to store clerks watching him suspiciously, so he'd respond by deliberately looking shifty and stuffing his hands in his pockets and making them look big like he had stuff in them.
He is a fulfilled prophecies kind of guy.
Me, I would steal Barbie clothes from other kids. That was when I was like, five. And I accidentally stole a tub of Ben & Jerry's, because I was holding it in my hand and forgot about it, and the cashier didn't notice either.

Since getting my Samsung tablet, I've been succumbing to 21st century problems of signing up for websites so I can access them on the tablet via Google. However, I created a new gmail account isolated from everything else that I'm only using for things I'll be using on the tablet, ie YouTube and apps. I decided to forego the Google Wallet account, because I'm not going to involve money with this. I'll just have to not use that $10 in Google Play credit. Ah, me. My free ereader app lets me import everything I can convert through Calibre anyway.
