can someone please at least respond to my applications now?

Things didn't suck enough: Someone has stolen my credit card info and bought 436$ of Victoria's Secret shit with it. Lucky for me, Chase immediately figured out that it was fraudulent and let me know. I've closed the account and can't be held responsible for it since I'm obviously not in Toronto, but wow. If they'd succeeded? I would have been shoved right past my cap. I don't even know how they managed to purchase anything with my card.

I like to imagine that whoever it was stole the information at the beginning of last month, when I'd paid the whole thing off. "I'm a fucked up asshole who likes to screw people over, but I'm cautious," they thought. "I'll wait a month, and then BAM! free shit everywhere! hahaha."

Little did they know my life was already pretty screwy and there would be less than 13$ leftover by now.

I am dying for some good news. Good news anyone? Please give me good news.

Holy crap, what a close call! Glad they caught it. Nowadays, credit card theft isn't too difficult due to the many ways people can nab them. I don't know if you're familiar with this, but I'm using a program called KeyScrambler, which encrypts your keystrokes and guards against keyloggers. Might be useful to you if you're doing online purchases or typing up sensitive info.

Sorry, I don't have good news (except maybe that one story about skin cells being transformed to heart cells), but I can recommend reading the new scanlation of Miracle Jump if you want to take your mind off things. It focuses on Keith and you might like it. download link

Yeah, seriously. I am still a little freaked out because I don't know where or how someone would have gotten my info. I haven't been making many online purchases lately, so it would have been...maybe bill paying? The tough thing is, I'm not sure when the info was stolen so I can't really pinpoint what happened that was risky. I've been using the card a lot in brick and mortar stores, so Danny pointed out that someone could have scanned it through my wallet (as I do not have a metal one) or something like that. I have no idea. :(

Thank you! I will check it out when I get home!
