9:44 am

Erica didn’t come home last night because she spent it in juvenile hall.  She got caught shoplifting and got arrested at Tower Records at Birdcage.  She only had one tape worth less than ten dollars on her so it would be petty theft.  They were going to let her go until they (a) found out she was a she, (b) found out she was under 18, and (c) found out she didn’t live with her parents.  I wasn’t with her – Shannon was.  Shannon called me at work to tell me and I freaked out.  Poor baby had to sleep in some con in a cell.  Thank God she didn’t have either one of her pairs of Docs on ’cause she’s get her ass beat worse.  She did have her shiny new patent leather creepers and leather jacket on though.  She’ll probably come back barefooted and jacketless.  I know she was totally scared but she’ll come back acting all tough like it was no be deal and she’ll probably go on shoplifting.  She should’ve lied about her name and age.  She has no i.d. so it would be able to be traced.  Shannon said that the guys were amazed that she had no i.d. but she did know her Social Security Number by heart.  So no matter what her mother has to find out to either pick her up or give permission for Dee to get her.  Dee’s in Napa at some conference of sorts.  So my poor sweet honey had to spend the night in a strange place probably with some big dykes who thought she was really cute.  I slept with her pillow the poor baby.
