one hell of a wakeup call.

[Rivers the Cleric]

i got a call from the house of one of my EXs, about 3 minutes after waking up.

Girl: "hi, is this James?"

Me: "so they tell me, but you can never be too sure about these things."

Girl: "haha, you are funny. i just wanted to ask if you wanted to go to the funeral."

Me: "ummmm........ mew?"

Girl: "what"

Me: "that's my line. who died?"

Girl: "Lacy."

Me: "........ mew?"

Girl: "what?"

Me: "once again, that's my line... what the hell?"

Girl: "oh, her fiancee killed her."

Me: "what? why? when?"

Girl: "yeah, last night. he thought she was cheating on him."

Me: "oh my... well, i'm really sorry, but i cant attend.."

Girl: "ok, no biggy."

i'd also likt to ad that throughout this entire conversation, she had about the same emotion in her voice as someone would talking about a broken toaster...

this girl had a lot of problems.... like she saw demons, and dead children... and used to like to cut me, for fun....

but that's still pretty disturbing, and i feel bad about that happening to her.. i mean, it's not like i have any good memories of us dating, or even of her as a person... but still... i feel really bad about that.

part that really gets to me is that she had emailed me like 3 weeks ago, asking if we could get back together... i answered with a resounding "NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, No!!" but now i'm really starting to wonder if i had any part in that...

Wow, hon...

That was definitely a weird wakeup call.

[soothsayer]

That is strange.

it was kind of interesting..... to spite the fact that i really couldnt have seen this coming, it made me realize an important fact about the people i date..

it seems to me that i tend to pick people that will, inevitably, cause a great deal of chaos in my life. i tend to view my life as boring, and i think subconciously i'm picking these people because they'll cause the most change, be it good or bad.

granted...... i'd rather it didnt take something like this for that little bit of self realization.

Rivers, I know sociopaths, this one sounds like one to me. Take it from me, a man who was married to the Antichrist: Run as far and as fast as you can from this sort of woman. If you cannot get away fast enough, I'd take some serious form of personal protection to heart. Legal, psychological, and physical.

wonderfully enough, with some of my later relationships, i have actually found myself thinking "that wasnt such a bad relationship.... at least she actually seemed to like me."

but then i remember "oh! wait! crazy. with the demons, and the ghosts, and the scalpuls, and the startrek obsession..." and i think better.

Yeah, hindsight is a double edged bitch. Damn, if I knew at your age what I know now, I'd have become a deep sea diver. Yeah, a shark may try to eat ya down there, but your fellow humans aren't trying to fuck you up either. To a shark I may be a meal, but that's better than being a psycho whores meal ticket! :fear

if i had known in the past what i know now..... i think likely i would have hopped on a plane, and would currently be a shaolin monk...... as it is, i dont have the money for a ticket....

actually, the funny part is most other women i've met show none of these tendencies... just the one's who can stand me tend to have the craziness in spades...

oh well... women... cant live with them, cant have heterosexual sex without them....

actually, i can live with them.... it's only when i start dating them that they start showing signs of craziness.... maybe i should stop dating them.... they make really good friends, up untill then.
