bethb's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- so many questions and a sickening feeling so....i guess stuff has calmed down. it'd be kinda hard not to after my last two weeks. michelle's wedding- arson's in mount ranier- finding a dead body outside of the prop shop - a knife fight ending in a non-fatal stabbing but a sidewalk covered in blood outside my apartment building and tech week of winter's tale. actually the play isn't bad. i don't know how people are going to react to shakespeare *and* yodeling, but we'll see. also on the not-so-good front, i saw a cockroach in my apartment on saturday night. my neighbors either thought i myself was being murdered or was getting super freaky at 4 am what with me shrieking and whacking things. i think i've discovered something about myself in all of this happening. i would not make a good police lady. not that i really thought i would ace it or even seriously join before, but forensic science and profiling really really intrigues me. but after finding this poor girl (from the washington post): Slaying victim described: An unidentified woman found slain in a wooded area in Mount Rainier last week had several markings that authorities said they hope will jog someone's memory. The twenty-something white woman, who police said was about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighed about 140 pounds, had a pierced nose and tongue and a tattoo of a kangaroo with boxing gloves on her left ankle. Beneath the tattoo was the word "Joey." The woman had blond hair tied in a ponytail and blue or hazel eyes. she is seriously all i can think about. maybe she wasn't a prostitute? the tattoo- could she be australian? do her friends and family even realize she's missing? why aren't they looking for her? surely someone somewhere is missing this HUMAN BEING? was joey her nickname? could it be the name of her son/daughter? i'm ruling out boyfriend because it's in a more public spot of the body. was she a student? is she someone i would have run into at rock shows? (given the piercings and tattoo) should i have taken a second and looked at her? if i did, would i haven been able to recognize her so far out of context? would it have helped my nightmares or make them worse? it's bad not knowing, but i'm pretty sure what i have in my head can't be as bad as what really occurred. i have so many questions and a sick feeling that none of them will be answered. 5:11 p.m. - 2002-08-26 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
