Creative Payback

 
Today I am thankful for creative paybacks.
 
 
I am a femi-nazi with money.  I don't know how long I'll have money but I have some now. 
 
I buy my own drinks because I can. 

I'll buy my companion's drinks because it's obnoxious. 
 
 
Now, he's taken to buying my drinks and getting quite creative in the process.
 
 
Yesterday, he sent me off to retrieve something I left in my car while he paid for my drink. 
 
 
It was cute. 
 
 
We had a lot of flooding in my area over the past few days.  I wanted to keep my phone by my side so my relatives could call if they needed my help.
 
I left my phone in the car but refused to go get it because I knew that he'd get sneaky and pay for my drink.
 
 
I told him he'd get sneaky if I left.   
 
His reply was 'just let me pay for the drink.'
 
Okay....he's a man. 
 
 
He's not a narcissistic man. 
 
 
He'd an old fashioned one. 
 
 
I relented.  He bought my drink as we sat waiting for a lecture to start. 
 
 
The fun part about that was that I spent the entire evening thinking about things I could give him in exchange for the drinks he's been buying lately. 
 
I want to be fair about it. 
 
Taking without giving is absolutely NO FUN at all!
 
At first, I thought about a gold plated kilt pin I spied on a Scottish website.  It is of a rampant lion and it reminds me of my Leo friend.

It's not cheap.  It's about $350.  They have a pewter one for under $100 but my friend, with his heart of gold, must get the gold one.  Pewter and silver just don't fit his personality.  It's gotta be gold.

If I put away $5 everytime he buys a $5 drink, I'll have the money saved in six months to a year. 
 
Yeah.....
 
sigh....

Yes, the kilt pin is nice.  I can imagine him wearing it. 

I did.  I visualized him wearing it. 

It was good. 
 
Then, of course, my mind wondered to what I could do beneath the kilt. 
 
Then I became giddy. 
  
Then I lost about 50 IQ points
 
-and-
 
I lost the ability to communicate. 
 
When I told him that I has having trouble communicating with him because he was an attractive man, he looked at me in disbelief. 
 
Sigh....
 
 
I think I scared him away. 
 
 
Sigh.....
 
 
Maybe I need a dummy
 
-or-
 
I need to become hot enough to stun a smart man into temporarily acting like a dummy. 
 
Life IS a lot of fun; payback more so. 
 
Love ya,
 
S.

Stalker Proxy Phone Calls

What kind of songs do narcissistic stalkers sing?  I imagine they sing songs like this.   I am grateful now that I understand why the stalker has people call  but   wish they'd listen when I ask them not to call again.  I probably should document this somewhere.  My ex was talking to an old friend of mine from high school on a daily basis.  She is his cousin.   I had to quit talking to her when she'd ask me to plan parties and then refuse to give me the guest list saying that the attendees would only be me, her, my stalker Shannon, and my NPD mother-in-law.   She wanted me to plan interventions.   This happened with a baby shower.  It also happened with a wedding.  The in-laws put together a fake wedding trying to host an intervention to shame me and my ex into doing things for them (like quit school and give them my car).   I had to cut this so-called friend off over that in 2004....

Visiting the Graveyard in my Hometown and Addressing Fears I'll Soon Join the Party

 Today I am thankful for a laugh.  It didn't start out funny.  My aunt visits once a week to use the washer and dryer.   My new dryer broke just a few days out of warranty so we dried her clothes outside. While standing outside, she took me aside an said "I don't want to alarm you, but....." then she got silent.  I pointed at the shed.  "Are you worried about all the stuff pulled out of the shed?", I asked.  "Yes.", she replied.  "That happens all the time!"   She advised me to chain the door.  I've done that.  The thief just tears the roof off.  It's easier just to keep crap in it I don't care about so the thief can rummage and take what he or she wants.  Again, I was advised to consider moving, especially after finding a full gas can in the mess.  My aunt is afraid my ex-husband is going to kill me.  I've been court-ordered to live here for another two years.  Sigh.... I'm sure a judge would allo...

Temporary Ending

Dear Readers: Over the past three weeks, I attended both a city councilperson's town hall and the mayoral town hall. Despite battling the flu, I dedicated two days to watching all available city council meetings and study sessions on YouTube in between bouts of cold chills. What I observed was a troubling pattern of disregard for honesty and disrespect towards citizens, the rule of law, and the influence of partisan politics. It has become evident that certain issues transcend the scope of a mere community art project. This realization prompted me to raise my voice, a departure from my usual composed demeanor. After discussing the situation with my family, we collectively decided to remain in Aurora. It is clear that true leadership entails making tough decisions rather than simply following personal desires. I look forward to the opportunity to address these concerns further in a different forum. Warm regards, S.  P.S. There will be a new website.
