First time

Hello, Pis, and welcome to the great wide world of blogs. :)

I've been reading my friend's blog for a few days now and decided that venting one's ideas to the world like this couldn't be such a bad idea. Not for the one doing the venting, anyway... So I thought I'd give it a try. I chose English for my non-Romanian friends. Just in case one of them stumbles upon this "vent".

I've recently been the victim of theft. On Monday, when I shouldn't have been at work (national day off and all that), I was, again, in the wrong place at the wrong time. Someone broke into my office (with me and a friend in it, of course) and stole my watch from one of the rooms. After the initial outrage had passed, I started feeling some sort of admiration for the one that was actually doing what I had only done in computer games like Thief. Must be cool to be able to break into an office, with people in it, and nick a watch and not be heard or discovered. I bet they also stepped silently through the lobby, sticking to the walls, hiding in the shadows to become invisible.... I bet they used a moss arrow to muffle their steps, too....

All improper admiration aside, it was really sad... In the middle of this ugly, hot, noisy, dusty, crowded, poorly raised "metropolis", I was still expecting, after all this time, a bit of decency. OK, I can understand breaking into people's homes when nobody's there as a rule for thievery, but with me in it??!? And I didn't hear a thing... Will I ever wake up and smell the roses?

At 29, I'm still discovering the world. It speaks volumes about how vast the world is. It also says a thing or two about how green I am.
