Sad sad day.
Weekend actually. This weekend I had another first. Sunday was the first time i became a victim to theft. Not petty theft, like when they say "please take one" and you take two instead. It was a major theft to me, even though they call it petty theft on the police report. I was at the beach and had my wallet stolen out of my backpack. My whole entire wallet....gone. It was my stupidity for leaving my backpack there, even more stupid of me for leaving my social security card in my wallet. Yes. my ss card. The thing i never carry with me except for that one time i needed it and then just left in in my wallet and kinda forgot about it. I had just watched Fight Club the night before, so when it happened, I was still in the mindset of Tyler Derdon. Whereas usually i probably would've freaked out, i just quietly said to myself...shit. And then Tyler settled into my brain and said, it's not the end of the world, they're just material things. I agreed with Tyler until i got back to my apt and realized what i had lost. What i had lost were things of no importance really. But they were important to me. Like my UCSD student ID. That was a little souvenir i took with me from UCSD. Now gone. Forever. I was planning on being a student for a couple more years. At the movies, that is. But so much for that now. And my Disneyland Passport from HS. Also gone. My drivers license with my picture on it from when i was 16...gone. My starbucks card...gone. I had a $5 gift certificate to Jamba Juice i never got to use....also gone. My insurance card, gone. Credit cards, gone. I know, petty little things. But it would just be nice to have them back. The things i can replace i don't really care about. Except for my ssn that is. I can get a replacement card, but not a new number. So if someone were to use my ssn, i can't do anything about it until theres proof. So basically, until they've charged up $50,000 or some ridiculous amount on my credit because they've stolen my identity. So in essence, my identity...gone. But i mean, the things i can't replace, like my student id and old drivers license picture....thats all gone forever. Sad day.
Not to mention i just had 200 really cute panda checks printed up that i never even got to use, because i had to close my account and get a new one.
All this for three measley dollars in my wallet. Three.
le sigh.
Hope you're having a better week than i am. My internet services should be up any day now, so i'll be back in no time.
