it's my break at work and i picked to go on it now because it's getting dark out and i like it better that way. my phone rings and it's some number i dont recognize but so is every other call i get. i pick up and say hello and some voice says heywhatsup. i swear to god it's some middle aged man, most likely fat, and i don't know why they're acting like they know me because i don't talk to any middle aged man on a regular basis. i say, well nothing, who is this? and they say, "jim." like i should know and this should mean something
and it
doesnt.
so i say, well nothing because i'm thinking how i could know this person and in the meantime jim says, "this is tina, right?" yes. it is. i tell him) and he says, oh well i think i have the right number.. i hope i do. what's your number? so itell him and he says, yes thats it. you live in maryland, correct? and yes, i do. i tell him. and he says, well then you're tina. oh you don't remember me. you don't remember me? and NO I DO NOT. so i say maybe i just can't think because i'm just getting off of work (how convenientas to how he called at the exact right moment) and i ask how i might know him and he says "we talked on the internet. its okay if you dont remember. you dont remember? oh oh .."
I DO NOT TALK TO PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET I DON'T KNOW AND I DON'T TALK TO MEN NAMED JIM AND OH GOD WHYS HE KNOW MY NUMBER WHERE I LIVE MY NAME AND WHEN TO CALL
and he asks if i'm online right now and i remember, yes i am. and he says "we talked and you don't remember." is this some trick? this is so fucking creepy. "do you have AOL or yahoo?" pause pause pause "well?" "you don't remember? its okay. it is." pause pause and this is suddenly some chain e-mail mom send to their daughters to warn them of STALKER rapists and i'm so scared so i say
SO I SCREAM
softly
it's like i'm scared of the dark all over again and i feel so silly for feeling so shaken. the number(above) is from a pre-paid calling card and is untrancable. i mostly hope it's a joke but i swear to god
if it
is,
