Sometimes it's better to not know

My friend and co-worker just emailed me a website that you can look up registered sex-offenders in your (or any) neighborhood. I just looked up my address and there is a convicted rapist that lives next door to me. His place faces my place... so he can see into my place. I am freaking out. It might have been better to just have kept my head up... always be smart and aware of my surroundings...but not to know that everytime I look out my livingroom window.... I can see his place. Blah. I just spent too much time putting all of my loved one's addresses in the search engine. It's smart to be informed. But this single girl might not sleep tonight.
