It Was Bound to Happen Eventually
I decided to go out to the Black Cat tonight for Mousetrap, the most excellent indie pop night. I timed out my trip to the Metro just to make sure I caught the right train, and used the ride planner. It was a usual train ride until we were rolling into Archives. A group of 3 teenagers came up to me, and one of them started hitting me. I wasn't really paying attention so I didn't notice them come up - I was listening to my iPod, which is what I'm sure they were after. Well - they didn't get it. But I got out of the train right there at Archives - I think they were trying to do a snatch and run. There were a lot of people on the platform so they left me alone at that point and got on a train going the other direction. Not wanting to stay on an empty platform, I rode up with the crowd to Gallery Place and made a police report. I'm alright - my jaw hurts a little and I have a headache, but I'm otherwise fine. And nothing was stolen - it wasn't like when I was in Philly and my laptop got stolen out of my car. But I'm still pissed. But I guess that's city life for you. Now to decide whether a beer would help or hurt.

Yeah - it happens. My head is still killing me - it's like when I got hit with the softball last spring. I'm ok - I didn't get stabbed, shot, or even seriously beat up - and all I lost was a set of inexpensive earbuds. I was just so surprised when this kid started doing this - it wasn't like "He's trying to rob me" it was like "what is he doing? Ow!"
