tales from bizzarro!world (= my life)

[awmp]

why does no one ever tell you that life gets weirder and weirder when you grow up???

so, I'm having some days off... (which you probably noticed because, OMG, I posted!!!) and then I get this call from this random guy I don't know...

I just.... I don't know what to say. I mean, that's kind of messed up. I feel bad for the guy towards the end with the rape thing, but honestly, I still dont' know what to say. Sex is a lot different for men than women, that's for sure.

[awmp]

yeah, I didn't know what to say during the talk one time or the other, too. But he thanked me so many times for listening and talking with him about it, that I just couldn't stop him.
and he said it was great to hear a woman's thoughts on this.

it really was strange to hear, that the worst thing for him was feeling weak. not the rape itself. but that he was physically not strong enough was really distressing for him.

First off, how DO they always find you? What is it about you that makes EVERYONE wanna spill their guts to you? O_o Even if they DON'T KNOW YOU?? But in retrospect, it's always easier for me to tell a stranger deep dark secrets because I feel even if they judge me, it doesn't matter cause, who are they? Plus, it feels more anonymous and like they won't find me again.

Secondly, that was a SCARY story and made me cry :o( I hope the dude gets some help.

Third, I'm so sorry everyone's troubles fall on your shoulders, but you are SUCH a good samaritan for NOT hanging up *HUGS*

[awmp]

I really have NO clue how they find me! his story with my number was so bizarre. I really don't know him or the ex-girlfriend. Yet he knew my name and number (and I'm not officially listed...)

He promised me to call one of the numbers the police gave him as soon as he's ready. that's a start at least.

I told my best male buddy this story, (and T, who winced at the part with the cheating with another woman) and they both told me I should have hung up. But I told them that wasn't possible because he really sounded desperate. I just cannot hang up on someone that desperate, you know?

*hugs back*

[awmp]

not sure how well I handled it, but he promised me to call one the numbers the police gave him as soon as he's ready...

[awmp]

first, you're welcome. at yesterday's party, everyone was happy about the story, too *g*

second, I'd agree, but...
he really, really didn't look good in everything he told. You know, there was no bragging and pride.
he sounded desperate most of the time. very low self-esteem. he admitted that his penis probably is a little below the norm (and which male ever says so voluntarily)
if there were only the wild tales and all, I really really would love to agree. but honestly in all of this he never looked good one single time. it was wince worthy through most parts. or worse. and he was very shy and nervous.

the acting student is my best guess at the moment (and the best!buddy agrees this explanation sounds most reasonable)

but if not, I was really exemplary. the prefect role model. his teachers must love me. heeee.

[awmp]

heee, poor thing then, because I couldn't deliver pity. heee. all he got was very logical and reasonable "SEEK OUT PROFESSIONAL HELP, DAMMIT!!!" stuff. good thing I'm used to the freaks, so I explained all the technical stuff to him. (people love to call me when they're in mental hospitals... I got like a pro over the years...)

The acting student theory is my straw I'm clinging on. *g*
because everything else would be just... too bizarre.

I must have really bad karma at the moment *g*

You know, I kinda want the acting student scenario to be true. Cause i don't want to think of a guy so desperate and distraught that he was willing to open up to a perfect stranger just to get it all out.

That aside, majorly bizarre for you, girl. So bizarre. I once got trapped on the phone like that (though, wow, the confessional did not go on and on like that, nor was it as traumatic) and I understand the not being to hang up the phone on him. Good on you, even though, must lurk in your shadows.

[sweet_ali]

That was supposed to be "drama must lurk in your shadows". Heh :)

[awmp]

I'm desperately clinging on the acting student theory. Even though it's kinda impolite to put this on a stranger, isn't it? Shouldn't he have told me in the end at least, so that I don't have to worry about him? Must be a very harsh school...

nontheless it is bizarre, huh? *g*
I really couldn't hang up, because he sounded so desperate even though when I told my friends yesterday (especially the male ones), they just shook their heads and told me I should have.

the drama and I are good friends. (now even the acting students know this fact. heee)
