I threw an old fan out yesterday. Within minutes one of the people on our estate knocked on the door asking if she could have it. So I told her that it didn't work, that it didn't have a guard over the blades and the feet were wobbly. Really not safe at all. This morning I woke up, let the dog in the garden and discovered someone had been in the garden and took it. Which while I'm not mad that it's gone, I am sick of people coming into the garden and taking things. I mean, we didn't go to bed until one, were up at seven so they must have been sneaking around in the middle of the night. I just hope they don't mangle their fingers.
The two stories I'm working on? I'm about to chop a load of words from one of them. The story needs it though and once I've added the new stuff it'll be much stronger. But still....
I tell you, the adrenaline rush of working on fic that's due in the matter of days, you can't beat it.
I've fallen in love with Panic performing The Weight. So much love, seriously.
ETA: Downloads for the song plus Nine in the Afternoon and I Write Sins mp3s in comments.
And that's all I have.

It's crazy that people would come onto your property and take things! Even if you don't want it anymore, they have no way of knowing that. Here, if you have something you don't want anymore and want someone to take it, you put it on the curb. On the curb = fair game. ANYWHERE ELSE = no touching!

Date: 2008-07-08 01:10 pm (UTC)Yeah, it's the actual coming into the garden that's getting me. I mean, it's not a public areas, it's our private space.

Date: 2008-07-08 05:57 pm (UTC)I use to put stuff out in cardboard boxes a few days before garbage day so that I'd feel better about not hauling it to the salvation army.
I wouldn't knock on someone's door if something was in the garbage, I'd just take it. Of course that's only if it was clearly garbage and out at the curb, not hanging out beside their house or in their garden.

no subject
Date: 2008-07-08 12:07 pm (UTC)That's awesome. It would be a very harsh fandom though, you get to a certain age and are kicked to the kerb *g*

Date: 2008-07-08 12:53 pm (UTC)I can kind of understand people taking things which are going to be thrown away, but coming into your garden to do it is just *rude*.
no subject
Date: 2008-07-08 01:08 pm (UTC)Yeah, it is rude and I hate the idea that someone was out there sneaking around at night. As soon as we can afford it I think we'll get some solid screens to block the fence so people can't see in.

Date: 2008-07-08 01:48 pm (UTC)As for the fence. It's a 6 foot one anyway, but it's also open slats and the gate is really easily pushed open. We need to fix that asap.

Date: 2008-07-08 01:48 pm (UTC)Yes, just a few days left to finish a story is always very exciting.
no subject
Date: 2008-07-08 01:52 pm (UTC)But it was the right thing to do, and I'm glad I've got people that will say, you know that sort of sucks and makes no sense.

I suspect all fic writers say that, so when it's the night before deadline, you're on coffee number 78992632 and still have many many words to go you can say, it's fun really *g*

Date: 2008-07-08 02:12 pm (UTC)The writing is going well. Though man, if I ever want to do two stories at once again, stop me.

Date: 2008-07-08 06:05 pm (UTC)I'd be creeped out and annoyed that I couldn't put anything out there temporarily without the fear of having it taken.
no subject
Date: 2008-07-08 07:14 pm (UTC)Yeah, it is annoying. I mean, this time it was something broken, but I've had a big fish tank and a christmas tree stolen before.
