surreal estate

if your name happens to be 'watson' then, let me tell you, this is elementary my dear. regardless of your name, alias or moniker, i can tell you i was correct in my suspicions. the shoe thief is now certainly claire and despite being presented with the irrefutable evidence, she continues to deny any wrongdoing.

she's the person who, as a parenthesis to her tedious interest in my trainers, banged on about eBay for (insert your chosen deity)-knows how long. and now alan has found the things on eBay, no doubt whilst browsing second hand german porn.

now, either claire is truly the insane klepto freak i originally took her for or she's been framed in an elaborate, almost cinematic way. let me assure you that the former is the more plausible. no one in this house is smart enough to pull of a scam like that.

i really am fuming here. steaming, even but does that make me seem like a big pile of shit? maybe that's all i truly am... maybe that's all any of us are. although gina smells nice. i think she buys really expensive fragrances or something. she also told me in no uncertain terms that she's 'not interested in a relationship'. i looked down at my bare feet, hoping she'd look as well and remember the real issue here.

thanks, gina. i appreciate you allaying my fears that you were now planning our marriage.

she does smell nice though.

mustard gas and roses, as vonnegut would have it. dresden's gonna look like a mere burst water main compared to this house if i don't get my shoes back!
