Fucking Newark. Fucking Continental.

So I get to the airport early and they make me wait in this long line for like, 5 whole minutes. Then after getting my boarding pass I had to stand in ANOTHER fucking line. So then I finally get to the gate, right? Wrong. Because I was early, decided to eat, then I had to wait an entire half an hour until they started boarding the flight. We were totally on time until some other douchebag airplanes were in front of us, delaying our take-off time by five minutes.

Then when we were in the air, they shoved a fucking sandwich, chips, a drink and a twix bar in front of us when we didn't even ask for one. Can you believe that shit? I had to drown myself in the free Scrubs episodes that I could call up on the individual TVs every seat got in order to get my mind off that travesty. At the very least, my own headphones worked on it, so I didn't have to have my wallet and mind further raped by having to buy their shitty headphones, haha.

So yeah. Fuck Newark and fuck Continental.May I never have to fly out of there again.

Holy smokes Batman! Cops. "There was an incident between your sister and her boyfriend last night"

... yeah. They said they basically just showed up to check if she was ok physically since she left before they showed up at the "scene", I verified this but they want to see her for themselves anyway. So they wanted my(incase I remember anything)/her's/house/school details. They said they wouldn't embarass her by showing up at school though >_> Might change their mind who knows <_<

The only thing I could do was verify she was ok but she sure as hell didn't say anything to me about any "incident"

I ... did the right thing by answering the door ... right?

I don't see any harm in it, unless your goal was to protect the boyfriend or you have a strong reason to be mistrustful of the police. I suspect your priority is your sister's welfare over the boyfriend, and that Scotland does not have corrupt police.

Did... everyone just assume that it was the boyfriend that caused the incident there? Man I read that as CT was worried about what her sister had done.

Apparently criminal responses must be genetic or something for me to think like that.

Thanks peeps =-) Good news. Well sort of. My mom phoned the cops when she came home. Turns out -

The "incident" took place in a street in the town where my family live. A resident in that street saw a young male fighting with a young female, apparently holding her and refusing to let her go. The cops were called but by the time they arrived the female had disappeared from the scene. They talked to the local teens and they said the female might have been his girlfriend. Then from the guy they got my sister's name. Or something like that.

BUT- ... That guy is not my sister's boyfriend, he's her old friend's boyfriend - and he's due in court over a previous assault. My sister was a witness or something to *that* and she has to appear in court to testify.The court date isn't until later though.

It also turns out that my sister wasn't anywhere near the scene of the incident the other night. My mom had the cops confirmed the exact time for her - 9 o'clock at night and my sister was washing her hair at that time >_>
The "female" was probably actually my sister's old friend who is the guy's girfriend.

Don't know what the dude was playing at, maybe trying to stir up trouble with her with the cops/undermine her credibility or something? I dunno.

My sister's real boyfriend wasn't at the scene either.

Sorted out with the cops though. They talked to my sis and my mom again once my sister was home from school.

Both.

I don't actually know her boyfriend, he just looks like a "roughie" and put's up that kind of front. She says he's actually a good guy and treats her right though (and far be it from me to judge a book by it's cover) However yeah with that being the kind of crew she's encountered what with her friend and the friend's boyfriend and god know's what I wouldn't have been surprised either way. Whether it had indeed been that she'd run into issues with her own boyfriend *or* that she'd somehow done something bad of her own. Plus she's been giving mom a hard time recently (I did too when I was younger! >_>) My sister is basically a good kid (she was crying on her way home from the school when I met her at the bus stop and told her what happened) and she's always been pretty much on the straight and narrow as far as I know but things happen. Just have to hope she navigates through all of this safely I guess.

Well, given that the cops said they wanted to find her because they wanted to check if she was injured, it seemed pretty natural to assume that, at least in the Police's mind, she was the victim.

Asking whether it was the right thing to cooperate with the cops...the cops have a known gender bias ("protect women, arrest men"), so that has to factor into the advice. It would be a different question entirely to ask "Who do you think was really at fault?"

Except in cases of rape, where it's still pretty common for there to be an underlying assumption that it's the woman's fault, but that's a completely irrelevant point to this, I guess.

Anyway, glad things are working out, CT.

I think underlying assumptions of rape that people are conditioned to today just speaks insurmountably about Western thinking (specifically) and philosophy. In art and writings I've seen, it's the "Rape of [Woman] by [Man]," by men, and if one were to talk about Queer theory in this regard and the male gaze. . . then linking female instantaneous thinking of rape = woman by man wouldn't seem soooo illogical. This clearly excludes the significant amount of homosexuality and whatever occurred in that sphere in the past, both male homosexuality and female homosexuality.

The question of "can a woman ever rape a man," I haven't really put any thought to, but can say "Yes." Then again, I could say "Hmmm."

Anyway! Just ordered the books for the Phil 3010 class (no prereqs! yay) ONLINE (and am already two days behind). That's fine. I'll catch up via someone else's notes/copying the book in the library. Decided on returning to the Phil 3000 books even though they total $27. I'll just consider that a transposition of $27 onto the $29 for one of the packets I ordered for Phil 3010.

Currently .. . awaiting my refund. A part of me is saying: "No! Don't blow it! You're moving out!" Another part is saying "Please! Blow some!" for a new cell phone, getting mah hair did, etc etc.

I think I just may get only the new phone and later purchases can come from saving up my checks from work.

Hey, our families 2002[or so, dunno the exact model] has gone across country and still works pretty well. At least I'd imagine a later model is good too.
