needless to say i was fairly frightened of going into the city for a while, so i ended up failing the computer programming course i was enrolled in cos campus was in the city and i didnt want to go.
that shit was fucked up...
Damn that was in Perth ?
I' m always in the city late at night in Melbourne, and nothing bad has happened to me (apart from homeless people and junkies asking me for $$$, in which I tell them to fuck off).
Although once when I was like 12 years old, I got off the bus and was waiting for the next bus I had to catch. I was sitting down on the bench, and this guy had a knife and was just like scraping it against fence. Then after a couple minutes I figure this guy is a bit of a weirdo so I get up to move to the other bus stop (about 200 metres away).
And he says to me where do you think your going ? Then he pulls his knife towards me and says give me your wallet (bear in mind that I was 11 or 12 years old and I didn't even carry 2 dollars on me let alone a wallet!) So my first instict was to run, and that was what I did. I could hear the passer bys yelling "Run Forrest Run" well that um didn't happen...
I ran to the end of the street and this guy was following me, so there was a school on my right about 100 metres away and that was what I ran to. Damn I was lucky there was people inside there, caus it was quite late about 5:30 usually schools are closed by then.
Anyway, thats my story. Noiw I'm 16, and for safety I carry a switchblade with me wherever I go. So if I ever see that faggot again, BAMN!!!
