So, I'm a bit freaked out about some stuff that happened last weekend. This is an article from The Lowell Sun about it.
Police nab men after crime spree
DRACUT – A two-man crime spree in the early morning hours Sunday that included a home invasion, breaking and entering, masked armed robbery and arson, among other crimes, had police working double time.
Police say that just before 2 a.m., Paul Plourde, 21, of 66 Richardson Ave., forced his way into a home at 37 Third St. in the Long Pond neighborhood. Wearing a mask, Plourde demanded money and drugs. A male president gave Plourde a bottle of prescription medication and a female resident tried to lift the mask off his face.
“I’ve killed people before,” Plourde said as he pulled a handgun out of his waistband.
Plourde fled the house, according to police, but not before smashing windows and doors at the home and causing extensive damage to a car parked in the driveway. Officers searched the neighborhood for Plourde as a call came in about 2:30 a.m. for another breaking and entering, this one at 36 Fourth St. just one street from the home invasion. Sgt. Robert Richard spotted a man matching the description of the suspect. It was Plourde.
Meanwhile, as police were dealing with Plouride, a resident at 84 Richardson Ave called police to say that someone had broken into his house and was standing in his kitchen, bleeding profusely from his hand.
Moments after receiving that call, Officer Joe Cox located Peter Stanford, 18, of 202 Long Pond Drive, who took off running. Cox caught up with him but not before Stanford allegedly tossed back a black backpack containing a magazine for a .22 caliber handgun, live rounds of ammunition, burglar tools and a black mask. His hand was bleeding.
“I’m a thrill seeker,” Stanford told police. “I did it for the adrenaline rush.”
But the officers’ night was not over yet. While dealing with Plourde and Stanford, a report came over the police radio, saying that a car was on fire at 178 C St., less than a mile away. Police and fire officials discovered that the resident’s car had been broken into and fire had been set to the interior. Several other cars in the neighborhood were also broken into/ Police located a .22 caliber handgun in a car parked at 169 C St. The gun was a match to the magazine found in Stanford’s bag.
Plourde and Stanford, who police say were working together, were arraigned Monday in Lowell District Court on numerous charges.
Plourde is being held on $1,000 cash bail and Stanford is being held without bail pending a dangerousness hearing.
Okay the first guy mentioned so happens to be my next door neighbor on the corner there. I can honestly see the house from where I sit at the moment. All of the houses that were broken into are houses surrounding my own.
I was home by myself at the time. All ALONE.
This incident has honesty petrified me in a sense. I could have easily been a victim during all of this. The article got the part about the car fire wrong. They gave the wrong address. It was actually the house on the very end. I know this for a fact because I remember seeing the fire engine from that side of my house that faces C St. and a neighbor told me about the fire part this past Monday. I had no idea about all of this until this morning when my mum picked me up at school, once I had gotten home from prom and post prom.
At the time, there was a thunderstorm, so I thought maybe something had gotten hit by lightning. Apparently, this was not the case. My mother did make a valid point concerning the timeline. Considering the fact that the car was the last incident, the two guys had to have gone right past my house. The only way to get there quickly from where they were before is to go through a little footpath that connects the two roads. They could have easily have tried to come in my house instead.
This has made me extremely uneasy because these aren't the only people in my area that would do something like this...
So I guess I haven't updated in a while (I'm at the dentist waiting for my mum).
A lot has happened in the past couple of months since school started.
Junior year has been crazy. Extremely crazy. It's caused me to want to shoot myself.
So much to talk about, but I'll give the abridged version.
This year has brought about many changes. Many many changes.
I seem to be more comfortable with myself in a sense...I'm talking to guys more often...it makes me proud of myself in a sense.
I've been much braver when it comes to guys now (I'll explain more in the next entry).
I saw Les Miserables at the beginning of November and its the musical this year.
Kevin Dubuc was on Made on mtv yesterday. There were some parts that were so fake. It was really weird to watch someone you know on tv...not to mention seeing your school there too.
Volleyball made my life crazy. I'm kinda glad that its over and such.
I'm still taking voice lessons with Petra...now I have lessons on Tuesdays at 3.
I'm doing amnesty his year as well.
Yeah and I had semi just this friday. That will be my next entry either later tonight or tomorrow. It was amazing though.
There are spoilers in this entry. Yes it's the first of my many rants about something in Deathly Hallows. So you don't accidently see something you don't want to when skipping over this, I will make the post the same color as the background.
Highlight to read.
<<Remus and Nymphadora Lupin.
My first post of DH will be of Remus and Dora. The one couple whom I wanted to make it through and unfortunately didn't. Their journey was a roller coaster for me. It really was. I was super excited when they got married. Even more excited when it was found out that Dora was pregnant. I was super uberly happy when Teddy was born. Harry is godfather!
I was fearful for Remus when he showed up at Hogwarts, but I thought if he dies, then Dora would still be there for Teddy. However, when Tonks showed up, it made me very fearful for both of them. I was accepting to the fact that one of them might die, but I wasn't prepared for both of them to perish. Honestly, I overlooked their deaths for a second. I had to reread the sentence that said their bodies were next to Fred's. It was the point that I lost it in the books. I began to sob uncontrollably. It didn't stop until the chapter King's Cross. To be honest it got worse when we thought Harry was going to die. It was extremely sad when Lily, James, Sirius, and Remus showed up in the forest. It was really them. I wanted to see Sirius again too. It was my one wish for this book...that and Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Remus, and Tonks all survived. Other deaths I could live with. I was fine with Fred dying. Well not that I wanted him to die. It just didn't terribly upset me. Neither did Dobby's death...Hedwig's just caught me off guard...that and Voldy flying...but that'll be another post.
It was sad Harry talking about Teddy to Remus after he had died. It was terrible. However I looked back at that sentence when it said something about their bodies. It referred to them as "Remus and Tonks." It is the first and only time I recall seeing Remus referred as such in the text. Normally he is 'Lupin.' The kids just started calling him Remus in this book. Atleast that we know of. They used to talk about him as Lupin or Professor Lupin. I found it an affectionate way to state that their bodies were there. It was very sad indeed.
Rest in Peace Dora and Remus. You will be happy together forever as it should be. >>
On another note, I'm really excited for the encyclopedia that Jo will come out with. It will definately have the satisfying details that we are all dying to know. It won't come out for a while I'm guessing. They should have midnight party releases for that though. It would be awesome and an excuse to party.
I finished the book about 1 p.m. on July 21, 2007 after about 12 hours of reading nonstop. I didn't sleep. This was after the party at Borders too. lol.
Well if any of you didn't know yet, my grandfather passed away last week on July 16th.
It wasn't exactly unexpected. His health was getting worse since Thanksgiving. He had a stroke a few weeks prior to his death. I saw him once in between these events and he didn't look very well when I did see him. It was quite horrible to see to be honest. I'm alright; I'm glad that he isn't suffering anymore. Last week felt weird for me that's all.
It was almost surreal in a way; I mean I will never see him alive again. It just feels weird. I dunno.
He did turn 70 on 7/7/07 (thought it was supposed to be a lucky date there?) and he died 9 days later. He had his stroke about a week before.
There will be a memorial service down here (I'm pretty sure its in Maynard) and then the burial will be up in Maine. This will be all the first week in August.
So Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be out in about 5 and a half days time. I will be going to a midnight release party at Border's like I have for Half Blood Prince and Order of the Phoenix. I'll be pulling an all-nighter like last time to get through the book as soon as I can. I want to know what happened. I'm afraid of spoilers for deaths and such. I was already spoiled for Order of the Phoenix when I accidentally saw a page in the back of the book who said who died. It was heart-breaking for me that death...and I had to relive it I'd say four times this week.
Anyway, back to Deathly Hallows.
I don't know how I'm feeling about it right now. I feel excited that I will finally know what happens...but also sad to know that it's going to be all over. These books have been a great part of my life for the past 5 and a half years. I've basically grown up with them. I mean I have seen the movies, read the books, written fanfiction, drew fanart, took place in Harry Potter roleplay, cosplayed, and even made a Harry Potter board game. My cosplay has been Luna and I plan to paint my room Ravenclaw colors later this summer...I just don't know what I'm going to do after this is all over. I know I will still be obsessed with it. I mean I still love animes and mangas that have ended. I'm not sure how long MuggleCast will be going on after this is all over...I'm really going to miss that.
I just don't know...maybe I'm afraid that I won't love Harry so much after it's over. That's silly. I'll never outgrow him. I will continue to write Harry Potter fanfiction for a long time. I'll still be obsessed about that. I mean I love the characters I've written. It's almost like they are mine. It's set in the Marauder's time basically, so I have room to write things differently if I must. I do have a few characters that are strictly my own. I do love the Rini and Sirius aspects...oh I'm rambling again.
Basically, I don't know how to feel about it all ending. I probably will cry regardless because it'll all be over.
Ok I am like really cold right now for some reason. And also sore...really sore. I hate doing runels clean ups...I tend to do all the manual labor...like moving the bed frames...
Anyway. I'm getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow. Surgically removed. I'm like wicked nervous/scared. Seriously. What if something goes wrong? I mean they could hit a nerve and it could permanently damage my voice! I mean I have started taking voice lessons this year. It would be horrible if I lost my voice somehow. :( You know I could actually bleed to death. lol. Oh well if I die...just come to my funeral. But hopefully I won't be dying anytime soon.
Oh yeah and I had this weird dream last night about a tornado coming toward my house and I was grabbing stuff that I didn't want to get destroyed...mainly stuff I couldn't replace. Like one thing was my program from fiddler. It was odd. Our celler isn't finish so the door for it is outside...so in my dream we go outside and the celler isn't there anymore...instead it was a fridge...so like we were tying to fit in the fridge or something when I woke up. I dunno it was just really weird.
I need to talk to someone...maybe it'll help with my horrible nervousness with the whole wisdom teeth thing.
Ok so we had the navigator meeting the other day and it ends up that I am writing about the talent show for the newspaper. Ok so I figured that I needed a program..so I asked Corey if he still had his:
