Hell on earth wondering what I did to deserve it

So, I'm sound asleep and awaken to the sound of what sounds like my window breaking. My heart is pounding, I listen, and sure enough there it is again. And again at a different window.
O.M.G. - someone is trying to break into the house.
I leap out of bed and grab the phone. I can barely squeak out a voice to 911 "someone is trying to come in my house"
"We'll Be Right There"
I close the door to my bird's room (who knows why) and cower like the big chicken I am.
WHAM! WHAM! He keeps hitting the window.
Then I see him. Some dude. White male. Red Shirt. Walking around from the side of the house to the front door. He starts banging on the door.
I call the police again and barely am able to speak. Is that them at the front door? The dispatcher says she doesn't know and to ask the person (since I can't see out the front door). I don't like this idea. Sort of like that he doesn't necessarily know if anyone is at home. I relent and yell:
"Who is it"
He responds "Pizza Delivery Man"
I yell "The police are right behind you"
"What"
"The police are right behind you"
"Huh"
I am arguing with a criminal. I go back upstairs and peek out the window. The police come roaring up, lights on, come up on him and hand cuff him. He seems surprised. Dipsh#t.
They knock on the door to have me come out and see if I know this dork. OMG - It's a climbing acquaintance who I've not seen in OVER TWO YEARS AGO. And even then, we didn't know each other much at all. They didn't arrest him and suggested he find his way back home TO HIS WIFE or he can go for a ride with them.
Oh man am I still pissed. WHAT THE FECK IS HE THINKING? I'm so angry I can't sleep now. I barely know this person. Un-be-f*#king-lieveable.
Thanks for letting me vent. Thoughts?

As Jane Austen would say, Crimpie..."Forgive him as any good Christian would do. Then never ever speak to him again. Ever."

YES! All lights were out.
I swear, my hair must be standing up on end and I must look like a really pissed off chicken. I am stomping around in my house talking to myself trying to burn off the adrenaline.
L Edit: True. I don't think I can even look at this person again without smacking him and saying "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?????" Given I have not seen him in eons, doubt I'll have the chance to do so though.

I walked around and don't see broken windows, but it's so dark. I have the double paned super-duper windows so I guess they are extra strong. I'll have a look in the morning.
And no kidding Chaz. Man, if I had a gun, I would have had it out and someone would have gotten hurt. Probably me.
I have no bat, no dog, just the ability to dial 911 in the dark and cower like a chicken. Luckily, police response was FAST.

Congratulations! You now have your own personal STALKER!
Or maybe he was just drunk, sad and horny. Either way, I'm glad everything was OK.
BTW, 90% of those "someone's trying to break in" calls are just racoons. But you did the right thing in calling 911. Then cowering in the dark and waiting for the pros to swoop in and deal with him. Maybe you will actually sleep better now, knowing that you WILL wake up when there is a noise, and that the cops can come and save you.

Haha! Funny thing is, we can't get pizza delivery in this zip code. This zip code is shared with a terrible part of town so pizza delivery companies won't deliver here. Do any deliver at 12:45?
I wish he had a pizza. I'm sort of hungry.
A stalker? I'll have to consult the literature on those. Haha.
I am glad I didn't shoot his arse. Or that I didn't have a man friend here who went out and whooped his arse. (a girl can dream). And I'm glad they did not haul his arse to jail. Hopefully he learned his lesson though and knows that this house and I am not part of his booty-call trail. Why would he think that? Think you are correct that drugs/alcohol are likely a bit part of his "thinking".

How about the attack parrots? I bet they would scare the crap out of an intruder.

Bwhahaha Susan. That burst of laughter just removed a ton of my adrenaline. Bwahahahhahaaa. You guys are great.
You know, Climbrunride, my birds would kick ass on someone trying to hurt me. They are very protective. But at a whooping 300 grams each, they wouldn't win any battles. They'd go down noble-like though.

Teach your parrots to bark and growl, Crimpie!
Edit: Speaking of which, did you watch the foul-mouthed parrot video I posted a while back? It was hysterical. You should watch it now to drain off that adrenaline and get some laughter going.

where do you live?

Gym rat.
Definitely not an ST. fellow.
But if he does read it - Dude you're on my sh#t-list now. You DON'T do that to a woman who lives alone. Or heck, you don't do that to a woman who does not live alone. You just don't do that. OMG.

Zip, catch I-70 going east. Go about 30 hours. Turn right at exit 240. Go south one mile. Turn left, then quick right and right. I'll leave the porch light on. Hurry.
