> the Priciple of Parsimony answer is, Don't get hopped up on drugs on the wrong side of the tracks with men you don't know.
I don't think Id give you that answer anyways, it happens, I guess not to everyone, but I've been places I didnt want to be on coke, or meth, or whatever, "Hey, listen, If you sport me now, I'll take care of you next time"... Answer: "Listen creep, you know, and I know, and I hope to god, there won't be a next time, so step off..."
What to do next time? Be more careful... You want to still do the things you do, but you dont want to be asaulted (uh, who would)... sometimes thats going to be difficult to avoid when the perpetrator is a drug dealer from the 'wrong' side of the tracks... I've known few honest drug dealers from any side of the tracks... When I was much younger my coke dealer would sell me an eightball and then call back that night asking if I had any left because he ran out... I quickly knew not to pick up the fone... Rule 1: dont ever answer a callback from a dealer when you've allready scored...
> Why do I feel like I let him get away with something? he was probably coke-mad, feening, but to take it out on me--damn. i should have given him a klonopin or something.

> i'm angryno excuse, no excuse, no excuse, its lame, just degenerate lame, you didnt let him get away with anything, what were you going to do, put on the gloves and go mano a femme ? His perceptions of what is right and what is wrong are obviously skewed, and I doubt little that intoxication had much to do w/ it, though it certainly doesnt help things... I felt angry when I was chased home by a car full of teenagers once when I made an offhanded comment, "Now we know where you live!", I'm not a big person, and don't get into fights, let alone w/ 5 people at once, but I felt so small... so helpless... I went inside and got a bat, of course they were gone, there was nothing I could do but savour that memory for the rest of my life... defeated by a car of teenagers...
Be angry be angry be angry, at the world and injustice, at this fuck-up for pulling this shit, at drugs for what they offer yet what they yield often enough in results... But don't be consumed by anger, let it flow... You made all the right moves and walked away... Make better moves next time and you can avoid this... If you want to do that... Be angry, tuff grrl.
