the back story: When I first moved in there was this truck that kept parking in my stall..atleast until I went to jenny and got a "please move your vehicle or you will be towed thing." All was fine from there.
On saturday I got home from bullerama at 4am to find the truck parked in my spot. Well there wasn't much I could do except park on the street and run in the rain to the front doors. On sunday I wrote a nice little note saying that if they had a problem with there own spot maybe we could work out a trade but otherwise they were to refrain from parking in my stall yada yada yada.
Well today I'd just gotten home and ate, showered etc and sat down at the comp to do some work when there is this knock at the door. Keep in mind it was like 9 something and I'm in like a beater and scrub pants. I go to the door and there is this akward guy..mr truck man. So he's like sorry for parking in your spot and I'm all no worries..if you have a problem with yours and wanna trade I'm cool with that. And he was just so..hmm..awkward. I didn't really think anything of it because I know people that just aren't on par with their social skills so I wrote it off. Anyway he kinda mumbled through it and I think we came to the agreement that he just wasn't going to park in my spot anymore. Then he's like do you want to get a drink sometime. I fumbled and said sure..thinking friends thing and he left. Going back to my cleaning of dishes and working on junk and like 10 mins later there is this knock on the door. I answer and its the guy again. I sorta just looked at him blankly and he stepped in so I figured he was unclear about the outcome of our previous discussion. Anyway Im like what can I do for you and he looks at me confused and takes his shoes off...now this is where I go..uh...did you come to just hang out? His answer..."I figured we should see if we are compatible before we go for that drink." At first I didn't even remember saying alright or whatever and then I blurt out "I didn't really mean it like that..uh.." And he starts going on about asking me what I do for work and fun and all awkward. Anyway I don't let him in past the door and I stay out of arms reach and talk about random junk for about 20 mins. In the 20 mins he tells me how he had a nervous break down and was in a psyche ward for the three months before moving in here and how he has a hard time making friends. And Im just like rambling nervous responses trying to keep it light and positive. Finally the phone rings and I answer and you'd think he'd take the hint to leave but he doesn't. So I get off the phone and hes like so do you have a boyfriend. My reply..a big yes! not that the fact seems to deter him. He keeps talking for a bit, meanwhile I get meaner and meaner..or rather shorter and shorter and finally after hearing how he was home schooled and had drank since he got jumped by 4 people on new years I finally just stopped talking and like starred at him. He finally was like well I should go. And then just as he is about to leave he's like..can I have a hug. About then I would have done anything to get him out of there so I was like ok. I KNOW. BIG MISTAKE. I'M AN IDIOT. You can all stop telling me that now. anyway I gave him a quick hug and pulled away fast and then I think he tried to kiss me..which made me take like 5 steps away. Where I was like ok bye and he left. So wierd. so very wierd. He doesn't seem dangerous. I mean he lives with the two people that park beside me and they seem really nice..and I'm not worried. But it was just so wierd and now if he comes around again I have to be straight and be like look don't park in my spot and don't come around here. However I may be calm now but right after I was so worked up...and talking to jimmy didn't help. He was like never let anyone into your place..and he could be a serial rapist blah blah blah. Im used to living in dorms..and my last apartment was all friendly normal people who were mostly students. PLus the lady upstairs is nice and out going and this guy just seems like he doesn't have any social skills. Im not going to befriend him but Im not going to be paranoid and scared either. I'll get over it in a few days. Until then..who wants to live with me?!? huh? huh?
