make room for hollywood

in seattle free parking is hard to come by, and free parking that isn't limited to one or two hours is truly a treasure to be found. luckily i work by a residential street. meaning free unlimited parking for me! however this week i have had to make room for hollywood. something i am not too fond of.

apparently jennifer aniston is shooting a new movie here in seattle, and has decided to take over all of fremont. they completely cut off any source of free parking in fremont, and though i do love movies i can't remember the last time jen put out a good movie. maybe this new flick "traveling" can change that, though i highly doubt it.

plus the $30 i have had to pay in parking and the $50 ticket i got this week will most definitely not be worth it.

i want fremont back, and i think the residents that live in fremont that was bombarded with porta-potties agrees.

hollywood must not of have had time to clean up the garbage they left behind, however they did have time clean the fremont troll before shooting. interesting.

where do i draw the line?

i work in fremont and there is this homeless man who hangs out there. i am not sure if he is mentally challenged or if he has done too many drugs, but he walks around and has random out bursts of yelling, body convulsions, dancing, and singing. however at the same time he can be perfectly normal. him and i have held many normal conversations. which i think had lead to my problem. latley he has been hanging around my work more. knocking on the window trying to get my attention, coming into the office, pacing out side on the sidewalk, and most recent he walked me to my car at night.

this is where i start to get a worried. he has never said or done anything inappropriate to me. but i don't feel safe alone with him, especially at night. i don't want to be the rude person who is mean to him, but i want to protect myself. where do i draw the line? and what do i say to him?

it's not like i can say "hey, i am not comfortable around you. please leave" i feel that would just make him mad. or can i say that? dr. mike says i am naive and he has decided to walk me to my car from now on when he is here. but there are times i am at work alone.

so am i being over dramatic? like i said above he has never done or said anything inappropriate. however i wouldn't let a sane man walk me to my car at night.
