Maybe I am determined to be single?
Alright this is going to be a long entry. I don't care who reads it and I don't even know if people are aware that I am still alive on this site but who cares. I need to write this to remind me of how fucked up a people in this world can really be.
I have been single since what I like to say senior year of high school. There had been a few 2 week relationships since then that I don't like to speak about so we'll leave it at high school for the offical log book.
I knew that going to this school would deter me from any real relationship until at least my junior year. As freshman you are considered less important than dirt and your sophomore year consists of traveling around the world...and that goes as high as an 8 month block. I don't know...I wasn't much of a +8,000 mile long distance relationship.
So anyways it has finally come...junior year...Tom Clark is finally able to settle down and be in a relationship.
I knew that if I just went out looking for a gal to be mine it wasn't going to be that easy...so with help from friends and a few chick flick movie advice I realized that if I just sat back and went on with life things would just...happen.
Saturday January 27th, 2007 -
I was taking a weekend off from doing the whole generic "get utterly stupid and pass out somewhere on long island" thing...so I decided to stay at school and catch up on some studying. It was around 9pm when I received an IM from a girl named Lindsey. Lindsey and I used to talk online a lot about 3 years ago. I'm not too sure about how we first started talking but I believe she was friends with a girl I went to swim camp with a few years back. So Lindsey and I talked and she seemed to be very interesting...interesting enough that about 70 smiles and 8 hours later I was still conversing with her. She had told me her mom passed away when she was born, her brother passed away in Iraq, and that her dad died a month after with a heart attack. Extremely sad story and I probably did the stupidest thing ever and questioned it because it sounded to sick to be true. She was not too fond of that and I apologized.
Well Lindsey and I talked every night after that until both of us couldn't keep our eyes open. I thought she was too good to be true...but I didn't want to tell myself that because my luck in the past has proven things like this otherwise. A week later she told me she wanted to visit me and that she was going to take a plane from Boston to LGA. She was going to spend the weekend at hotel in great neck (the town my school is in). This got me really excited...this girl was everything I wanted in a girl and here she is buying a plane ticket just to see me for a weekend.
The day before she was supposed to come (Thursday) we were talking online about how excited we both were...we were pretty much planning out every minute in full detail...
She asked me if it was alright if her roomate talked to me. I saw nothing wrong with that so I did. Her roomate seemed cool at first but something seemed fishy. I was looking at the time her roomate was online and the time that Lindsey was online and they were identical...1 hour and 37 minutes or something...i thought nothing about it at first until Lindsey signed off and on again...and so did her roommate.
I questioned Lindsey if by any chance her roommate’s screen name was on her computer as well. Lindsey kept denying it even though it was blatantly obvious that she was typing for her roommate. I called Lindsey and asked her to put her roommate on the phone and Lindsey told me that her roommate had left the house.
After about 2 hours of arguing with her she finally comes clean and admits that it was her on her roommates screen name…I have no idea why she would do that in the first place but whatever. She ended up crying for 45 minutes straight while apologizing over and over again on how stupid she was. The only thing that I cared about was if I could see her the next day still or not. She confirmed that she would be at the airport at 8:24pm.
Friday
So I am extremely excited…I have been thinking of her all day and I pretty much bombed a test because I was up all night making sure she was alright. I take a shower, try to look nice, blah blah blah and get ready to go to the airport. I was with my friends when I got a call from her saying that she got really sick and wasn’t able to fly…and that she was going to drive instead. I get another text 3 hours later saying that she got in a car accident. Of course I believe her so here I am getting all worried if she is okay. I call her like 19 times and she never answers until the next day.
Monday
We are talking again and I ask her if she would like to come home with me for presidents day weekend to meet my parents. She tells me how excited she is to meet my family and how there is not a chance in the world that she would not be able to attend.
Throughout the week we are talking every day and she will not shut up about how excited she is to come and visit. She said she was fine with driving from Boston again and that she was going to leave after her last class on Friday and arrive here around 3pm that day.
I let her know that I told my parents and all my friends about how excited I was that she was coming. My parents got the apartment in our house all ready and completely went out of their way to get things ready for her.
The night before she was supposed to come (Thursday) she calls me and tells me how excited she is. She sends two text messages confirming this.
Friday
She calls me in the morning and says that she is in class and she cannot think about anything but how excited she is about coming.
She texts me at noon telling me she is on her way.
After my last class at 2pm I go and take a quick shower and pack my bags since I know she should be on her way. I give her a call to see how close she is but I get no response.
I call every 30 minutes until 5pm and still get no response.
At this point I am starting to get worried because maybe she was in another car accident.
At 6pm I give her a call and a lady picks up.
IT’S HER FUCKING DEAD MOM!!!!
Mrs. Lindsey is very much alive.
The lady goes “Oh hello, this is lindsey’s mom…Lindsey is taking her road test right now…would you like her to call you afterwards”
I was so in shock I dropped the phone.
Lindsey wasn’t coming.
Lindsey didn’t go to Boston College…Lindsey lives in TEXAS!!
Lindsey lied to me so many times that I think she began to believe her lies.
WHAT THE FUCK!!! Who does that??
If my writing made any sense please respond…because if anybody fully understands what just happened they would be just in shock as I am.
