   I dunno, I do that too when I’m working. I assume most people do to some degree…I think it’s a combination of wanting to be the hero in our own story, and our sad attempt to escape the mudane…Human nature I suppose.

   hah! loveit. I definately wish cool stuff would happen to me. At my job (as a cook at a restaurant) I’ll get little burns and just be like crap, it hurts AND I have nothing to show for it! I always sort of wish that I could get a sweet burn or a bruise from soccer or something so I’d be like “yeah i’m a BAMF” (dane cook anyone?) But no, I don’t have anything cool happen to me, and even when I do, there’s always a lame story behind it. I got a cut on my hand, ti looked pretty bad, and it was from cleaning out the trunk of my mom’s car. Yeah, that’s right, I’m a loser.

   So you’re not alone, at least.

   I’m like that too. I almost want to fall and break my leg, get in a (not tooo bad) car accident, move across the country… anything that would really change my life. It would be cooll…. but the bell rang and so I’m going to go!!!

   I don’t think you have a crazy obssession with crime. This is a reality that we do need to address…one night at work, two guys entered the gas station office and got into the safe. I was out at the pumps with the other attendant. I saw that they opened the safe, took the cash box, and were trying to open it, and I walked into the office and scared them away.

   So yes, robbery does happen, and yes, we do need to be prepared for it. Being prepared doesn’t constitute insanity.

   So I didn’t finish my response before… I always do kind of hope that that sort of madness will happen to me, but seriously? I don’t think I would be actually really happy about it. Looking back, it would be a good story, though, so I wouldn’t be upset either (depending…) . I think that this kind of stems from television and movies and celebrities’ lives? They do crazy things, and everything that happens to them is a big deal because we hear about it. Or in movies and television we watch all of these crime shows… or any other drama, and they’re always living exciting lives full of mystery and thrill, but if our lives were like that all of the time… I’m thinking we wouldn’t like it.

   I think that I like a sense of normalcy, but it is also fun to sometimes experience something different and crazy.

   I think if someone came to my work and wanted money, I’d have to laugh.

   Because, you know… I work at a dollar store. How much money do you really think we have in our tills?

   I’d probably hand it over though if they had a gun. A knife? Nah. I could handle a cut or two. I’d just smash their head in with the till box.

   Yeah, I’ve had these daydreams too. But I’m weird because I would love to get in a physical fight with someone and kick their ass. I think it’s part of that hero thing. I wouldn’t start the fight of course, but if someone gives me crap or hurts a friend of mine, I’m all over that.
