Wow....what a ripoff lol
Reminds me of my story...except less interesting. Now now, this is no bitter entry about the spotlight thing, but their story has no ACTION or DRAMA. They sounded interesting but it just looks like they met, and she moved in with him and his parents.............and that's it.
So, to amuse myself, and perhaps to actually see my own thought process about the last four to five years...here we go:
on Thursday, September 16, 2004 at 4:32pm, I made a thread for me and my brother called The Iron Maiden Bar and Lodge. I had been Rp'ing with my brother (real life) in another thread but that person kinda started cybering in her own thread, so we jumped ship and made our own place.
During the course I met a lot of cool people, and time went on. I started talking to a few people off the site as well, and got to know one person pretty well. Her name was Lucy and she lived in Florida. We'd chat all the time and talk on the phone and role play in the forums, and a bit of time passed. At the time I was also buying signs, and a guy from The Iron Maiden told his sister that I was getting signs of people licking forks. Her and I chatted for a while and she was the first one to actually contribute to my new Fork Licking Thread
A little while later it turned out that my friend Lucy was going through some tough times. Health problems, work issues, trouble making her rent...etc...So I figured I could go down to Florida to help her out for a while. I had never lived on my own thus far, and I had enough money so I went down there to visit first to test the waters. We had a ton of fun. I got my eyebrow piercing, got into Disney World for free, and everything was cool. I spoke with the manager of the Borders (the company I worked for) in Florida and he said he's definitely welcome me as a transfer, so everything was cool.
I got back home, told my managers I needed a transfer, and they pretty much sat on their hands with it. The Florida Manager kept asking for my info, but up north they just were pretty much ignoring him. Eventually I just quit and figured that would be about the same anyway. I went down to Florida the second time, and it was then tha I got the real information.
Apparently she was borrowing money from her roommates and NOT paying it back, nor was she even making any sort of effort in trying to find work. In fact, on the same night I got there they told me they wanted her gone.
That was a major problem for me. I had just spent my last few hundred to move down to Florida, and all I had was my clothes and a skateboard. I talked to them about it though. I told them "How much do you need asap".....turned out they absolutely needed $200. I called up home, and begged for money...and thankfully they managed to scrape together what they could...and I told them "look, if you throw her out, you'll never see the rest of the $600 she owes you again. I already have a job (not really but kinda) so let me just sleep on the couch and I'll pay back what she owes. Then when I get enough to go back home, everyone will be square"
The main roommates name was Larry. He's who I pretty much dealt with. So I find the Borders again, get the job, and continue to be the "couch guy"
Not long after I got there, it turns out the other roommate was having some issues. He'd corner me and ask me whats going on and about the money I'm paying back and what I'm paying for rent (yes...I was even offering to pay rent despite being on the couch). Apparently Larry wasn't splitting my money with the other roommate and keeping it as a sort of payoff. This guy started telling me that Larry better watch out, because he knows Larry has been sending people to follow him and watching him everywhere he goes (cue the psycho music).
A few nights later the two roommates get into it. I'm on the couch trying to sleep and their hollering about everything. Then my name comes up. The crazy one (well...who we KNOW is crazy thus far) starts yelling how he wants me gone and he never agreed to have me here and he doesn't care about blah blah blah...
Eventually he gives up and deals with it. Me and Larry were on decent terms. I had been very friendly to everyone and I guess I was paying Larry off, so he had nothing to Lose. By this point I was eating ramen twice a day and drinking tap water....that's it. My job was 5 miles away, and I had to get to and from there 5 days a week via skateboard.....rain or shine.
I had taken Lucy's old room for about two weeks, but a girl had already put in her deposit for that room before Lucy was even gone, so I went back to the couch.
One day though I got a message from Lucy...who I had pretty much written up as a terrible person who disappeared when I needed a bit of help paying off her dues. She told me that she's pregnant...and I'm the father.
I figured...huh..ok, this is the new plan eh? I'm not sure what she's after, but I'll find out. So I play along. I humored her with the whole "oh no, what will you do? Neither of us is ready, etc etc"....then it came, and I saw what this was about....
"I've decided I'm going to a clinic and getting an abortion, but it's gonna cost around $600"
(oddly what she owes me for paying her dues)
"I'll come with you, I don't want you to be alone for something like that"
"no no...it's fine...."
So that was interesting, but fits in with what I've learned about her soo far. At that point it seemed I would be completely dumb to ask her for help anymore since that was a pretty elaborate way of dodging me.
Whatever, I'll manage. I was lucky at this point because the "crazy" roommate...well.....he went up to New York and was put in a mental health institution. His parents asked me and Larry to clean out his room, where upon we found some pretty hardcore drugs. Larry flushed them all and after everything was done, there was finally a free room........but not for long.
I jumped in there faster than you could swat a fly. By now I was able to afford a cheap laptop off of ebay and was back on the net. I got back on Gaia and pretty much everyone from my threads were gone. I did get in touch with the girl from the fork licking thread, and I knew she was also from Florida and we really had fun talking, so I messaged her up. Her names Kdie.
We had chat and talked for a while, then I kinda claimed her as my girlfriend
sweatdrop
I asked if she wanted to come visit for a bit and she got really psyched and hopped a greyhound to spend a week with me. I still had to work almost every day, but we had a lot of fun....and..well...about a week or soo after she had gone home, she came back to move in with me mrgreen
That's all for now, but this is where it starts to get a bit crazy...
