Some people just don't get it

[nirix5]

I went for a walk with Al before. For whatever reason we got to talking about New York. I was telling him how I love to wander around by myself, and get a little bit lost, just to see what I can see, you know? The conversation went something like this:

Al: They have this thing called the Village Voice. It tells you everything you need to know.
Me: I know what the Village Voice is.
Al: Pick one up so you don't get lost.
Me: I like getting lost.
Al: Still, you should stay in the Village.
Me: Why? There's so much outside of the Village...
Al: Yeah. Like rapists!
Me: Only if you look like a victim.
Al: You're five feet tall and female. I think that covers it.

I am NOT five feet tall. I'm 5'8". Jackass.

I can take care of myself in the city. Not that size has anything to do with it. Walking around B'ville at midnight is more dangerous, since there's less people around. And the Village isn't the safest place in New York.

Honestly, do I look like a victim?
