you hear it in the movies... but when you hear it within a few blocks of your home, you get scared. A few minutes ago, I heard about five shots... REALLY close. I guess it would have been a larger caliber, as they weren't 'firecracker' sounding... my windows are slightly open, with the 'safety' latches on... of course, I just closed them, mostly after hearing my upstairs neighbor closing theirs... hey, they're not on the ground floor... so, blinds are drawn, windows and doors locked. I'm wondering how close it was... it sounded way TOO close for my comfort.
I hate my neighborhood... I want out NOW!
Granted I knew my neighborhood wasn't the nicest when I was told the corner I live on used to be called Prostitute Corner... uhhhh... yeah.... nice.
Breaking the lease sounds pretty darn good right about now...
Going back to bed... although I doubt I'll sleep much. If at all...

ETA: Oh holy cr**.... it looks like it was on the other side of my building, possibly on the street... I'm on the corner, but my apt faces toward the rest of the complex... I got up to check on something and saw the red and blue lights outside my dining area window. I have a frosted film on my windows to keep weirdos from peering in my windows... so I peeled a corner away on that window and saw two cops, and a corner of the area of police tape... crud, crud, crud.
