Sofa Stain

Was going to go to the Library yesterday, 
because my library book is due.

I already wrote about yesterday's "adventure."
The guy called me tonight, drunk.

Saying he wants to kiss me.
I said no kissing.

He was like "f*ck you, I love you!"

The $20 I gave him to hold onto he spent
on alcohol since he was drunk when he called me.

His friend got on the phone with me.
So I told her I'd take the guy to Service Ontario.
So he can get his ID.
I'm f*cking going broke.
So I might just have *enough* to pay for his ID.

Just so he can get it ASAP.
He'll still have to wait 6 months for it in the mail.

They'll probably want some kind of proof
that he is who he is.
So he might have to bring some mail with him.
Proof of his name and address.

So anyway, I said I'd do that for him, 
and I will.
Just disappointed that he spent the $20 on booze.

And I'm going to have to confront him
about calling me drunk.

I was "dating" a guy who'd call me drunk.
And I'd hear him falling into stuff.
While he was on the phone with me.

He was saying how some people go to AA drunk.
And what it's like for people who are actually 
trying to get sober.

And I was just quitting drinking.
So I pointed out that it was like that, for me, 
when he called me drunk out of his head.

Anyway, I got sidetracked and forgot to go
to the Library, even though I actually got off the bus, 
close to the Library and could have gone there
before the places I went to, today.

I went to a consignment shop.
To try to sell some jackets.
Yes, I'm letting jackets go from my collection lol.

I'd like to sell like 60%+ of my belongings.

BECAUSE I ACTUALLY DON'T NEED A LOT OF STUFF.

Anyway, I met a guy today. Wasn't planned.
While walking to my folk's place, 
I was walking past a house, 
and a car pulled up beside me.
Startled me.

It turns out the guy was just pulling into his parking spot.
In front of his place.

And he had his dog in the car with him. 
The guy said "sorry for scaring you."
And I wasn't really scared, just startled.
I wasn't expecting someone pulling up
right beside me.

AFTER THE INCIDENT,
I'VE BEEN A BIT HYPER-AWARE.

Well the guy's dog was barking at me
out the window and he was kind of intimidating
until the guy said he was friendly so I said "hi" to him.

He introduced himself and his dog.
I introduced myself.

He was kind of curious about what I was doing
around there.

He hadn't seen me before.
So I explained I was going to see my folks.

And he told me he goes to see his mom once a week
and that it was nice to see someone
going to visit their mom, too.

Anyway, he seems nice.
Kind of made me think of a guy I know.
Just kind of the way he talks.
Laid back guy.

My buddy... We used to be "drinking buddies."
We actually met at a bar.

We never dated. 
We've just been friends.

I took him to a concert, once.
At first he didn't want to go anywhere.
I literally had to drag him out to go with me.

I had got the tickets for someone else and I.
But the guy was being a d*ck to me
so I took my friend, instead.

It was a good show. We went to see Buck Cherry.
This was over 7 years ago.
They were playing here and I couldn't resist.
The tickets were surprisingly affordable.

I remember taking another friend to an art show, once.
He hated it and he got a parking ticket on top of it lol.

He hated it because one "set" was a visual thing, 
but they kept repeating the same image ad nauseam.

The other art thing I asked him to go with me to
wasn't as bad as that one lol.
It was more photography-based.

And they had paintings and albums of prints.
Like albums set up strategically.
It was nice to go out.

Before he bought his house and lived closer,
we talk, still, but...
When I was going through rough times,
he came to pick me up, just to go for a drive.

And we drove all the way to Vars lol, once.
And now he lives closer to there than here.

That night, we had gotten large coffees at a drive-through.
And afterward, I had to pee so bad
so we drove around looking for a place I could "go."

There was a gas station that had a washroom
but the guy wouldn't let me use it.
The guy didn't explain why, he just wouldn't.

So we left and looked for somewhere else.
And Vars is sparse. Not a lot over there, 
at least that I saw...

I think the guy didn't want me to use it
because he probably just sanitized it
and didn't want to sanitize the washroom, again.
It was in 2020. Right when Covid was first starting.

And we found a place to go, there was a parking lot with bushes and a fence.
And the fence had bushes against it.
So I kinda tried to hide in the bushes to pee.

For whatever reason, it's hard for me to pee outside.
And it was hard for me to pee when I was drunk.

When I was drunk, I had to run a tap.
And sometimes I had to actually put my hand in water.
To even start to pee.

A guy I used to know, he was on medication.
The medication was at such a high dose that he couldn't pee.
He actually had to pee, but he couldn't.

He was on such a high dose and it wasn't supposed to be that high.
He was in the hospital because he "overdosed"
and the nurses were so rude to him
because they thought he had tried to k*ll himself
but once he explained that the doc gave him a dose too high, 
they ended up being nice to him.

Anyway, so I wasn't expecting that. To meet that guy.
In front of his house, next to his parking spot.

And I have to go to the library tomorrow to return that book.
I'd like to renew it though.
I didn't finish reading it.

I was telling my mom about a guy I met
at the library, once.

He complimented me on my jacket and hat.
The union jack hat I made for myself 
for my birthday.

Sometimes I make things for myself, 
but most of my stuff either goes for donations,
or I just give as gifts.

There was a church having a bazaar thing.
So I brought them some hats I made
so they can sell them to raise money
for whatever they raise money for.

The church I went to as a kid, 
(the chuch my grandparents were involved in),
they had a bazaar, I loved it.

One lady used to make catnip mice.
Another lady made beautiful baby sets.
Baby gown, booties etc.

And there were the oddities.
That's where I got a few things.
My Golden Oldies cassettes.
I bought 3 of them, I think.
I hope I still have them around, somewhere.

At school, when I was in high school, 
they let me do my work in a separate room.
So I could just focus on my work
away from the other students
and they let me because I was pregnant.

They also let me because I was actually doing my work.
And was getting pretty decent grades.

It was correspondence type of courses at a "school."
The school was like one hallway and maybe 10 class rooms, if that.

And downstairs was the principal's office.

I was telling my mom tonight about when I was in 8th grade.
A guy in my class tried to throw a basketball AT me.
He wasn't throwing it TO me.

It ricocheted off the edge on the stage.
Becacuse I was on the stage, sitting out the class for the day
and the teacher said I could and that I could just watch the game.

Anyway, the ball ricocheted off the edge of the stage
and it hit our teacher right in the face...

Our teacher, Mr.K, was so mad.
His nose actually bled.

He just pointed at the door and said "Out!"
The guy ran so fast out of the gym lol.

That was the same guy who I was planning an AWOL trip with.
Because I knew he was in a group home, too.
So we talked a lot about hopping trains
to go out west together.

Anyway, the teachers found out we were talking about it
and wanted to stop us from going anywhere.

I don't think we were actually seriously going to go.
We just talked about it.

There were a bunch of things I just talked about with people
and we never actually went through with it.

Probably for the better, honestly.
Y'know, best not to act in anger or in haste...

I'd probably be dead or in jail by now
had I gone through with the "plans" I discussed.

But now, I'm discussing other things.
Like website stuff, project stuff.

But not a lot of people I can actually talk about
that type of stuff with.

I was trying to explain to my mother about
the affiliate programs I'm in.

And how I'm setting up my site
to put my affiliate offers on my site.

The guy who started the AI challenge, thing...
He showed me a "tool" he made with AI.


It's basically a table that has offers and links
and has a countdown timer next to it.

In the table itself, I mean...
It looks alright, not sure if I'll use
something like that on my site, 
but it looks pretty good.

My mom has the TV on all the time...
So we were watching a mowing thing...
And at first I thought it was SB Mowing, 
but it was actually another guy who does the same thing.

Well, during the video, and filming of the video...
The guy was mowing the backyard of this house...
And I didn't catch what caused the guy to fall, 
but he fell off the mower he was riding around...
And he was so lucky he didn't lose his hand
and half his arm because when he fell off, 
his hand and arm actually went under the blade deck.

And luckily for him, the blades somehow shut off.
Maybe he fell in such a way that the mower turned off.

But he was so shook by that that he paused filming
to speak about it and how lucky he was.

Today I was told a funny story 
about my stepfather's friends when they were younger.
I didn't ask how old they were when it happened.

But these two guys were at another friend's house.
And they thought it'd be funny to have a fart contest.
So they did and one of them crapped himself...

But get this:

His crap soaked through a cover the friend's mom
had over her expensive leather sofa.
A white leather sofa imported from Italy...

The crap literally stained the sofa!

I laughed so hard I actually cried.

The friend's mom FLIPPED!!!
SHE WAS SO P*SSED!!!

That sofa probably cost a fortune.

When she replaced the sofa, 
she put plastic over everything
and the guys weren't allowed in there, ever again.

And he told me about another friend of his
and about how the guy broke his leg.

The story goes that he was out on a lake, 
and it was frozen...

There was a hole for ice fishing, 
and it wasn't marked so the guy didn't see it.

He stepped into it with one leg, 
but like one leg was down and the other leg
was still above the ice
and he was hanging there, half in the freezing water
and he couldn't move to get out.

Out in the middle of nowhere...
Luckily, someone found him
and a helicopter came to airlift him to the hospital.
He had broken his leg in 4 places.

The hospital helicopters are orange.
I saw one landing on the helicopter landing pad thing
when I was in the hospital giving birth. 

Giving birth is f*cking painful.
Guys just would not understand
the pain of a vagina tearing apart.

Because they don't have one.
Should count that as a blessing.

I remember an episode of my 600lb life...
There's a guy who was formerly 600lb
who had the weight-loss surgery
who does reaction videos to the show's guests.

Anyway, on one of his videos...
... The show does like crotch shots.
And one of the women had like bleached panties.

And someone explained that the ph balance, 
when it's off, it can get acidic
and can like bleach and 'eat through' underwear.

Probably something you didn't need to know...
I just thought about that earlier tonight.

Because I thought about panty liners
because that's kinda what they are for.

To save people from rotting out their panties lol. 

Okay, I'll stop being gross.
They are just facts, so relax.
Facts are free on this blog hahaha.

I should go to bed. I took my meds.
"Medication time!" from that movie.
It always makes me think of that.

That actress played the part very convincingly.
I disliked that character in the movie.

That's kind of what movies are like.
Have to tell ourselves that's just a role they are playing.
As a character in the story.
Because their acting is so good...

Hard to explain. Maybe I'm just really tired.
Have a good one. Tomorrow's another day.
Sleep well.
