so, i'm ready to be un-hiatused. i miss you guys waaaaaaaaay too much. and i finally have an adapter for my laptop. w00t!
let's see, besides having two freak snow storms in one week...what's new with me you ask?
well, i've been reading a lot cuz i didn't have a good computer. i didn't buy the latest expansion pack of ts2, though i will within the next week or so. i've been hankerin' to play desperately.
my feelings still come and go about my former honey. we haven't really talked much lately again. his folks were up there for spring break. that's all i know. i guess he's still alive because he's left two random voicemails for me. one in which he's not talking to me but to someone else, and then today it was just wind blowing. okay.... sometimes i still miss him, but most of the time lately i've been too busy to think bout it.
more recently, i went to a funeral on friday. my stepfather's dad died on the 18th. so i drove to prarie hill wednesday night after i got off work. got there around midnight. i left a voice post about that. drove from prairie hill to granbury on thursday. visitation was thursday night, and the funeral was in glen rose. drove back friday afternoon. flew to arkansas sat morning for easter and came back tuesday in time for class. my stepfather's not doing so well about it. he's very sad. i skipped school and work, mainly to be there for him.
so now i have one grandfather type. my stepmom's dad. sheesh. everything comes in threes...
i have a bit scarier news too. something that could have ended way bad but didn't. i think i've mentioned my stalker before. in case i haven't i'll start from the beginning.
i had a stalker-type guy. his name is james. he worked in the men's dept under me. i was his fave manager by far. i mean, this guy practically worshiped the ground i walked on. he was always willing to help me out, and all the other managers knew that if i asked him to do something he'd do it without complaint. so, we took advantage of that of course. he had a major crush on me. and he complimented me on weird things (like my nail polish color). anyway, his crush lasted about a year. suddenly, shortly after my birthday, or around that time, he stopped being quite so obsessed with me, and started going after my friend christina. meanwhile, he's had a crush on her and my friend katie, along with myself. a new manager (sherry) comes in around november and he talks to her too. okay, enough background info. so, around this time i start working with a dipshit michael (who finally quit the week after i did). i start to hate jcpenney. i tough it out through christmas, dealing with all the other shit i was going through, and still making it to work on time with a (fake) smile on my face. james is dealing with some crap at home, too, and is looking for another job and an apartment to move out.
january hits. he puts in his notice, or at least has found a new job and arranges to work on saturdays at jcp. i put in my notice, and we think this was the final straw for james.
the next time i come to work and he's working, he glares daggers at me. by this time, it's february, and he's been living in his apartment about a month. i'm happy and carefree because i only work at jcp one day a week, christina started dating someone, and katie was her usual self (although she was dealing with some stuff too, separate from all of us). so basically, we're too busy for him, and his bullshit because he's been acting like a child. james would quit talking to any of us at on time, and then we'd get a txt the next day full of apologies. meanwhile we have no idea why he's mad at us, and then what the apology is for. so... he's mad at me all freakin day (in feb), avoiding my eye contact, and avoiding me until the store closes. suddenly he's back to his old self, back the way he was before christmas when all this shit started going downhill. i'm like, okay. this kind of continues until he actually fully quits.
remember my snowday? yeah, so i got a txt from him around 3pm. it just said "goodbye". i was on the phone, and didn't check it until around 5:30pm. i didn't do anything, or tell anyone, because he had said something similar before and the next day apologized.
i get numerous calls and txts and voicemails all day friday. i call peeps back because they were freakin out. apparantly, james sent threatening txts to sherry, christina and katie. everyone was worried cuz they couldn't get a hold of me and they knew what james had thought of me. i talk to our lp people and to katie about it. christina called the police, and it just snowballed. he was put into custody because he admitted that he was going to jcpenney to attack and rape one of the girls and then kill himself.
wtf.
i went to jcp early sat morning and gave a statement to the seargent about james. he showed me the statement james had made.
he said voices had been talking to him, telling him things. a demon came to him in a dream and told him to attack one of the girls (i had heard it was christina, and then katie mentioned it was her, so...), raping her and killing her before killing himself.
james was put into a mental hospital; well, he checked himself in. my statement, along with others, has helped take away his right to leave until a court orders his freedom.
absolutely fucking insane. we all knew he was a little off, but jeez. and all i can and could think about was his safety. christina, katie and i were all more worried about him than ourselves.
so...
um... i can't think of any other drama in my life. at least, not right now. it's been a helluva few weeks since i last truly updated.
oh yeah! i lied.
i have a new job, i don't remember if i told you guys. i work at dunbar armored. my friend got me the job. i work in the vault, checking routes in and stuff. i love it. funny story: got a letter from tsa (y'know, the airport security people). they said i am not a threat. great, right? well, they spelled my name wrong on the letter. good job guys! anyway, the drama: i love what i do, i love the people, cept for the fact that it feels like we have a mole. anyway, so im gone for the funeral and easter, and i get a txt from my friend. she switched with someone so i can't ride with her, and oh by the way the really cool manager has stepped down and is running routes so we have a pessimistic older guy as our manager.
great.... i was only back for one day and already i didn't like the change. so...looking for a new job again. not seriously, but i'm definitely talking to my hookup about the position i've been cultivating. bah.
i really have missed you guys. and i'm back!
