So this is just a summary of  what / why for everyone about my lil visit this past weekend..week, i cant remember.
So anyhow , my step sis and i go out around 11 pm or so to do the laundry at this 24 hour joint by the train station and drop some drawings and shit off in the mail -  but its a ways aways down so it was pretty desolate.
Well shes having a stog (( cigarette )) outside and we're pretty bored so we're doodling random shit on phone booths etc, nothing obscene really. mostly she was writing her and her bfs name and i was drawing ladies and roses, lol.

so anyhow shes standing by the door to the place and just killing me with that smoke so i go over to a subway beam , with my back TURNED TO traffic, and start doodling on a subway beam, a lil old school sailor jerry flash dagger with some lil blood drops.
well next thing that i know out of a corner of my eye i see a bright white and blue car pull up riiiight next to me and this cop come stepping out kinda swinging these cuffs and grinning his ass off.
and little old me caught red handed, the most i could do was smirk and put my hands behind my back.

so i get cuffed extremmmllllyyyy tight and thrown into the back of the car while they take my stuff and start filling out paper work, so i take a look over to where my sis was and that chick was long gone. but in my head im thinking "..this bitch saw me getting cuffed and ran the hell inside..."
little did i know though, she had went in long before the cops even came down the block, so that when she came back outside looking fr me and i was nowhere to be found she thought I got abducted.
or some shit.

either way she didn't bring my laundry home!>:( im sitting in my cell thinking ..i know  she didn't take my shit home, the cleaners are probably picking through all my stuff, errggh>: /....

so im all squished in the back of this car not strapped in or anything and sitting sideways with my knee in my face and the other knee god knows where until they get to the precinct and drag me out.
and i don't know how bad of a drawing the knife was or if they were trying to be cute but they brought me in saying
" We caught this one drawing penises on the subway"

ill take some pics later

so before they take ur prints and search you they basically take whatever they didn't take off you at the scene of the " crime " and have you fill out a little paper saying what you own and whatever. then they drag you into the waiting cell thingy, i don't know, and search you.
so for the more, uh , "thorough" searching , they have you stand in this abomination of a bathroom and have a cop shake out your clothes and take out your hoodie strings etc just in case you get the urge to hang yourself.

and i was in a fairly~ somewhat good mood until i got to the cells, and this drunk dude was slurring and arguing with a cop and im like oh shit please don't let them throw me in there with that drunk guy, because i figured i was gunna be alone.
but thankfully they put me in a  cell with this 16 year old they caught in a car with some 27 year old dude.

yep.

she never really told anyone why she was in there but you can pretty much put two 'n two together after the cop was taking her prints and turned to his cell and told him he was looking at 4 to 10 years.

she was pretty shook, but all the chicks i met that night were really to involved and worried about their own messes to really try and bother you.

so were in a cell together and ive seen bigger closets, you barely had room to exhale, and never having been in jail before (( a duhh )), when they first close that gate or anytime after that, and you hear how loud it is and think wow im really locked up, its pretty surreal.

and after they take you prints and mug shot (( which they didn't let me keep!:(  )) you pretty much play the waiting game, until after a few hours of staring at the walls, they drag you out, re- search you in that bathroom, and then cuff you again.
this time thank god they double cuffed me becuase my wrists were fucking in pain, they are not lenient at all with how tight they put them on you, and its murder on your shoulders.

then we got thrown into a van unbuckled so the whole ride to central booking we were just all over the place , hitting the sides of the car, sliding all over, it sucked.

then at central bookings we went through the motions, medical questions and all that bullshit but you have to stand on sort o a line by this cell, and the cell was pretty dark but when we looked in you could see like madddd dudes huddled up, sleeping on the floor and benches etc and it starts to click with you more like sheeeeesh..im in jail mannn.

some idiot walked by cuffed to this other dude saying "oh man how disgraceful, uhgg" and im thinking oh man what a idiot! you're about to be in there dude! dumb dumb dumb

so this other officer guy sees us goes over our papers, tells us its pretty light stuff and we should be out of there some time today, so we were pretty optimistic.

so then they take us upstairs to the holding cells? i don't know what you'd call them but they were a little more accommodating then the first i was in, the extent of the luxury tho was only limited to about a little more space, some gym mats on the floor, and a toilet. i wouldn't call it a bathroom becuase it wasn't really a separate room. it had maybe two walls tops and not in very helpful places.

but the girls were pretty nice:) in my cell anyhow. it was like a big sleepover, everyone was just chatting, but then the convo took a weird turn and this one chick was just so annoying, like you ever meet someone and they have a way of speaking that just sounds like everything out of their mouth is utter bullshit?
like just sitting there trying to tell everyone about slavery /jews /movies /books  like shes a scholar and then a few minutes earlier asked me if a peanut was a fruit or vegetable

"?!"

so i tried to get some rest

as far as food goes, someone noticed one of the signs on the walls saying when they were supposed to pass out food etc and the guards were about 3 or so hours too late, so then after they begged them enough they came to the cell and passed through warm cartons of milk and expired boxes of bran cereal from about 2003,so i was like fuck it ill wait.

every time a girl came into the cell she'd mention how we all looked like mass murderers  etc etc lol, but when everyone went through why they were there it was all pretty small shit.
like this one woman was there for going through the subway gate without paying. and  she had been there for about 3 days, this other girl was in here for driving with a suspended license. and of course im in there for drawing penises on the subway.
the only person that everyone was kinda iffy about in our cell was this girl who was actually from my neighborhood, they had raided her joint and found a safe full of weed/ guns / and bullets apparently.
so i was like hmmm..and scooted my mat a few inches away inconspicuously.

the only cell full of girls who probably belonged there was the one across form us, just, full of the MOST rambunctious lesbians ive ever seen. they were like signing and dancing and fighting and when they saw one of the guards with Chinese food they just jumped up onto the bars and climbed them kicking and screaming like crazy. it was insane. they were flirting with the girls on our side and trying to extort money from anyone who needed change for a dollar to use the pay phone
" Ill give you 50 cents for a dollar ma "

so i couldn't wait to get the fuck up outta there

finally!!!!! (( the next fucking day )) they called my name and the 16 year old and the crazy lesbians and they bring you to some sort of other holding cell to wait and see the judge.
but it was during night court and it was getting late and it closed at 1 am. so the girls were getting kinda feisty. you don't see the judge if you don't see your lawyer first and heir friend with all the quarters was far too busy calling her boyfriend to care.
well this made lesbian number one very angry>:{ so she hung up the phone on her and told her the next quarter she spent better be on a call to their lawyer.
but the girl (( who apparently punched out 3 cops before she got her, yeah ok )) didn't like this, and so a whole big thing blew up
this one saying don't nobody disrespect me etc etc and then lesbian 1, 2 and 3  pushing her around the cell and shit just really digging into her, they eventually had to move the girl. and they never got to see the judge that night becuase the chick used up all their quarters.
so im almost positive that when  those girls got back to the cell with the the girl who used up all their quarters that they made sure she had a very uncomfortable night.

luckily for me though i saw my lawyer!:)
she basically told me id have to pay a fine, maybe serve some jail time and do community service, but she was going to try and get it down to time served and just the service.
so i finally get to see the big man but it was very in and out, they were seeing alot of ppl that day so they basically say what ur getting and when you'll get it, tell you to sit, give you your papers and then you're FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so im super jazzed becuase i have community service as opposed to a fine, but i just found out i have to do that to:(

-- so on a side note no art trades/ free stuff  till i pay that shit off --


that and they still have a bag of my drawings and shit that need to be mailed out, i need to have a few forms of id and come back to pick them up. that and some fake jewelry but they can keep that shit

i was just so so soooo happy to be out, to get home and sleep in my futon as fucking hard as it is beats any jail floor any day.
and omg, to pee in a bathroom without 14 girls looking at you is a privilege i think we all hold for granted.
and when you haven't eaten for 2 days everything's like a banquet, i  had a beef patty and like inhaled that thing
and of course i missed jason<3333

so now i ill never leave the house again with so much as a crayon on me man, fuck it.

or if i do ill be sure not to get caught;)

and with that lil' taste of the bullpen i was inspired to do a set of jail flash and cant wait to do it, lil pin ups in orange and black & white striped jumpsuits , you get the drift.

makin' lemonade outta lemons bitchesssss! ha!

so yep, thats my story, i know it could've been worse. it wasn't exactly the ritz carlton up in there but it certainly wasn't Oz either.

 and  don't think i was ignoring you or anything like that, and if i don't get right back to you for a while don't sweat it, im just gunna be really tangled up with this community service shit  and getting my stuff back from the precinct  etc

XX! great to be back! lol
