Mood

Worthless

I was walking home yesterday with my mother's, chihuahua, Stella. I came across this trashy house with a bunch of cats in the window and some grubby kids with a bucket with something in it. My first thought was it was some sort of animal. It turns out the kids had two garter snakes in it. The youngest boy shows me his hand and a bite mark, "Yeah and it bite me to! I'm gonna rip him in half!" He seemed like the type of person who would do it too. The little girl, about eight or nineish also kept screaming "Cut it's head off!" I know people will do such things because I have seen them do them. I tried to talk her into giving me the snakes, so I could release them someplace safe. I talked to her about samilina, how you must wash your hands for 30 seconds, I asked her if she had a baby and told her that saminlia can turn into miningitus if an infant contracts it. Which is true. She said, "I know" to everything I told her and now I think she probably had no clue what I was saying to her. The lady started talking to me about Stella and we got into a conversation about pets. We have a calico cat who seems to have adopted us and needs a home. I asked her if she had lost a cat fitting "Patches" dicription. She said no. She had at least three cats and one supposed "mean" one who was living outside trying to come in. I reached down and petted it and it just meowed. Oh that's vicious. She said that she get's migraines and sometimes the cat litter dosen't get cleaned for days and that her cats poop and pee on her clothes. One of the female cats had a bite wound on it's neck. I asked the sex of the two cats to detirmine my guess. When a male cat "humps" the female, he will sometimes bite her neck to prevent her from escaping. She seemed kinda poor so I was attempting to get on her goodside take the snakes away and maybe help her out and lend her food for her cats. An older kid came up and asked where was the snake's head. I got really worried. As I said, I know people will do these sort of things. I went over and sure enough the little kid has the snake in his hand and it is biting him. These people sure are stupid. I tricked him into asking if I could hold it. The snake immeataly bit me. "He's tryin' to eat ya". said the kid. I could sense that the snake was tremendiously stressed. I held still until it finnaly let go. I was surprized at how little it hurt, if not at all. Most people are just whimps I guess. I knew this kid was not going to give up the snakes. And I told him everything (too bad I was out of money), so I had to take them. I knew I couldn't take both of them without causing a scene but at least I could save one. "Give me back my snake!" the kid screams. I told that his screaming, and tenseness was scaring the snake and that's why it was biting. He wouldn't listen. I then told him I would give it to his mom, which I planned to talk her into giving it to me. The kid grabbed my arm and wouldn't let go. People screaming at me makes me loose focus on what I'm supposed to do but people grabbing me makes me want to fight or run away. I have a phobia of being grabbed. I wish my parents would let me wear those beaclets with spikes on them, then people would be detured from grabbing me. Even my own parents can't grab me without me lashing out. Some pretten age kids came by and started chanting or cheering or something really loudly and making me more nervous. The father or most likely the soon to be ex boyfriend came out and said to give me back the snake. I also have a fear of strange men and this was in an area of town where a lot of sex offenders live. I didn't want to take chances. So I ran with all I had in me to run home (which wasn't very far). I heard and felt someone comming after me but I didn't turn around to look. I almost made it to my house, and I had to run carrying a snake and a small dog and prevent the snake from biting the dog at the same time. "Give my kid back his snake" I hear the lady scream. I then felt someone grab my backback. "Let me go!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Still running. My parents come out of the house she then lets me go. "What is going on?" My mom asks. She then screams like the town to give me back "her" snake. I told screamed back at her about how I wouldn't because I thought her kids were going to kill it. She then says, "I would never let my kids hurt it!" If only I hadn't been so scared and panicked or I would have confronted her with her attempts to care for her cats. She then yells at my mom about how she's going to "call the cops" on me because the snake was "purchaced". What store sells garter snakes? I scream back, "No you didn't you took it out of the wild." She screams and screams and my mom who is one of the calmest people in the world, "Don't yell at me." The lady backs off a little but still continues to talk in a loud voice about how I took her kid's snake. She also said she wanted it unharmed. Uh, lady I took it to prevent it from being harmed by your stupid kids who your just brining it back to and you think I'm gonna harm it? My parents made me give it back to her because they didn't want any more trouble. I was going to say something like, "Here take your d@*^bed snake and shove it up your @ss!" but I was afraid she would take it litteraly. And then the lady says in the rudest way possible to stay away from her house. Like I would want to come back. As soon as I give the snake to her, it bites her and she yells, "Don't you bite me." Like you can reason with a reptile? My dad is still mad at me, and won't talk to me I think it's because he hates snakes, lizards and basicaly anything in reptilian form, if it had been a puppy or rabbit or something I don't think he would be so upset. And poor little Stella must have gotten her claw caught in my backback when I was trying to run with her, because now it's all bloody and it hurts her to walk. That stupid lady hurt her. My mom went around and told the neighbors what happened and if they heard her yelling. Surprizingly they said no and were on my side about the whole issue.
