How odd . . . the requests from 207.46.98.84 stopped at 09:05:48 today and not a peep since. Maybe they have everything they need.

Well, that was odd too . . . I had sat down to finish my university assignment when Liz rang, sounding a bit panicked, telling me that some 'strange man' was stood outside their house . . . he had followed Tania there from my house to Liz's. He had been just stood there, by the gate, but now he was knocking at the door and they didn't know what to do. So this makes me angry . . . what the hell is this man playing at, disturbing me like this? I put my shoes on, put my jacket on and march over to Liz's place. And there he is, knocking on the door, Liz and Tania visible in the window, looking freaked out. And the guy has very dark skin . . . Afro-Carribean, he's wearing plain blue jeans, some kind of jumper, he's got both of his hands in his pockets . . . doesn't look like there's anything in his pockets, except for his hands . . . "Hello? Can I help you? Looking for someone?" no answer . . . just a grunt. The guy looks at me . . . he looks somehow lost . . . a bit . . . gone. His face is pocked and scarred . . . acne scars . . . he looks like in his mid to late twenties, I guess. His hands remain in his pockets. "This is Sowood Street. Are you after someone?" (I'm used to people getting these streets mixed up . . . they all look the same) The guy kind of grunts and ambles away from the front door, down the steps, and I move aside, so that he can get past. "So Wood?" he says. "Yes. This is Sowood Street. Sowood. Look . . . come here, there's a sign," and I walk away, hoping the guy will follow and he does, but very slowly . . . with spastic speed, hands still in pockets. "Look. See the sign? Sowood Street. This is Sowood Street, yeah?" "So Wood," he says and I nod and point at the sign once more, pointing away from Liz's house. I went back to Liz's house, and the guy kind of ambled up and down the street for a while before disappearing. All very, very strange. What is wrong with these people? That was a rhetorical question.
