Yesterday

yesterday was ridiculous. i just woke up and it is 4:50 pm. here's why. my roommate is having stalker issues that came to a head yesterday. her ex-boyfriend got mad because she took him off as a friend on facebook (because he wouldn't stop sending her strange messages and posting pics of himself and his new gf in half-naked poses) and started harassing her. he started by texting her, asking why she took him off. so she didn't answer because, basically, she didn't feel she had to. they aren't friends and they aren't together anymore. she doesn't owe him anything. then he got mad. he started sending meaner and meaner texts and calling constantly. when she didn't answer the phone, he left horrible voicemails. he started using things he knew about her to try to hurt her. she continued to ignore him. this happened periodically for the last week. finally, yesterday, her phone was ringing off the hook with mean texts from him and him trying to call her. believe me, i heard some of these texts, and not only was he barely making sense, they were hurtful. so she texted him back. she said, "please stop calling and texting. you are harassing me and i don't deserve it. please don't reply to this message." that's when he went crazy. every ten seconds there was another, meaner text coming through. so she sent him another message. "if you don't stop harassing me, i'm going to block your number." if possible, he went more crazy. so she called at&t to see if she could block his number. she can't. apparently its just not that easy. so i convinced her to call the police (not 911, just the department). they directed her to the county clerks' office who told her that what she is looking for is a protective order. if he talks to her or calls or texts again, the police are knocking on his door. however, it is usually used for domestic violence instances, and he had never been violent to her. so she said she'd wait and if he stopped soon, she wouldn't do it. that's when she made the mistake of calling him to warn him. he didn't stop screaming at her for a second. by the time she got off the phone with him, she was crying. so she called her mom (who knows him) and asked her to talk to him. her mom convinced him that if he stopped talking to any of them, they wouldn't get the police involved. but the first time he called or texted, they would get the protective order. he agreed to that, however reluctantly. that was the end of that (or at least all i've heard).

then i went to work (six hour shift, worst shift ever) and got a voicemail while i was working from my old roommate. it seems our lease ended today and the house hadn't been cleaned yet. in fact, they weren't moved out yet. they weren't going to get me involved because there is another roommate who was going to help, but she managed to slither her way out of it. so i got called. right after my six hour shift, my feet killing me, i went to the house. i got there around 9:30 pm. we cleaned until 8 am. we took one break at 3 am for mcdonald's breakfast, ate quickly, and started cleaning again. i finally got home at 8:15, and still had to take a shower. i fell into bed at 8:30 and slept, non-stop until this. i'm so sore. sorry this is so long, but you see? this was my day. now what? there's pretty much nothing left to do except play wow and read. and because i can't keep myself from adding this, i wish i could talk to eric. but he'll talk to me when he's ready. i've accepted that.

okay guys! time to relax (or be bored) for the rest of the day.
