Voloyda's Letter/General Update

It's been quite a while since I updated.  I know I said I'd post Voloyda's letter last week but I've just been so busy.  I'll give you a general rundown of everything that's been going on and then have his letter at the end.

My interview with Goodwill did not go as well as I had hoped and I never heard back.  Oh well, there are other jobs.  I have been working on my book quite a bit.  I've made some definite progress on it and might share some of it with you fairly soon.  Regarding my fear of earthquakes: they are always going to be scary but there have not been any really damaging or deadly earthquakes in Ohio since 1875.  I guess it isn't something I really need to be concerned about.

On Tuesday Voloyda and I took his nine-year-old twin brothers Alik and Kolya, Dima's son Maks, and mine and Voloyda's goddaughter Natasha to the LEGO Movie.  Dima turned 24 on Thursday and had a small party that I went to.

My cousin Ryker is trying to reach the level of Eagle Scout for Boy Scouts and put on a variety show on Saturday which I went to and it was actually pretty fun.  It lasted nearly three hours, he had a couple comedians, some singers and musicians, a couple dancers, a basketball/juggling team, and he played his saxophone and sang a little Johnny Cash.  It was fun.  He did a good job.  Everyone liked it.

And now unto Voloyda's letter.  The list Voloyda sent me in the post was 13 double-sided pages long containing mostly bitching and incoherent rambling.  I'm not going to bore and confuse you by posting all of that so I pulled out some of his more interesting statements and complaints.  Comments by me will be in parentheses.  Here we go.

1. I find it very offensive that you called me your ex-boyfriend.  I'm your former fiance.  Not your boyfriend.  It's hurtful that you discounted the seriousness of our relationship.
2. It's not really following someone to their house if their address is listed in the phone book as public information.  (I'm inclined to agree with this one.  If the information is public knowledge you wouldn't really have to follow them to find where they live.)
3. In the post Banned From The Store you never said what I was arrested for.  It was disorderly conduct, public intoxication and, trespassing.  They are all misdemeanor charges and I was only held for three days and then released with all charges dropped.
4. I never should have attacked "Kristoff" with the bat.  I was jealous and it was a mistake.  He never pressed charges though and eventually I apologized and gave him some money and smoothed it over and we're cool now.  (So you gave him some money.  Well I guess that makes it okay then.  WTF)
5. How did you find out about the messages I sent to David on Facebook?  (His brother Dima told me.  And apparently also sent an apology to David and got Voloyda to stop sending him harassing messages.)
6. I was only in the bushes for a little bit and that guy that dragged me out slapped me.  (A well-deserved slap.  If I caught someone I didn't know hiding in my bushes I'd probably slap them too, if I hadn't already called the police.)
7. Don't call me a mobster.  (What I said was that he looked like a mobster.  I never said he was a mobster.)
8. It would be suspicious to hide in the bushes wearing camouflage.  What if someone saw me?  (Because of course it's the camouflage that makes it suspicious, not the fact that you're hanging out in the bushes.  It's much better to wear a suit.)
9. The people that I had follow you were my brother and cousin and my cousin's then girlfriend.
10. I never did find anything out about Connery other than the fact that whoever he is, he's not dead.
11. I did fight the man that hit you and to my knowledge he hasn't bothered anyone else since.
12. Don't talk to my brother.  (I'll get right on that.  As if he has any say in who I talk to.  I could say some other things about his brother but I, and I'd hazard Dima as well, doesn't want to have that argument.
13. Why did you burn the sock that I sent you?  Do you know what I had to do to get that sock?  (Yes, yes I do and I don't want anything that was dug out of a dumpster.)
14. I didn't steal that trumpet.
15. I wasn't seeing a psychiatrist at the time but I am now.
16. I would be more than happy to speak to anyone you wanted me to.
17. So I probably shouldn't have looked up Annette's address but I thought you could get some use out of it.  (What possible use would I get out of knowing her address unless I had to send her something or meet her there?  Which quite frankly looks like it's never going to happen.)
18. Okay, I should apologize for the kidnapping thing.  I have no idea what I was thinking.  And in my defense I stand by what I said that I was just trying to give you a ride because it was supposed to rain.  (Of course you were.)
19. If I had dumped those guns, which I didn't, I would have indeed filmed it as insurance for the people who paid me.
20. You are so like Charlie Sheen.
21. Okay, so I did stab Little Ivan but it was only because I thought he turned me into the police.  You can't go snitching on your brothers.  Snitches get stitches.  But after I found out he hadn't turned me in.  I gave him some money and stuff and we're cool now.  (So he'll confess to attempted murder but not dumping guns into a lake.  If I was going to risk a life sentence for stabbing someone for something I would like to think that I would check to make sure they had actually did it before I started stabbing.)
22. So you found the tracker that I put on your car.  I was wondering why it said you were in the middle of the river.  Now I'm not saying that I did put a tracker on David's car or anything but if I had done something like that, I would have removed it several months ago around the time that we made up.  (Great, that is just fantastic.  At least David doesn't have a tracking device on his car anymore.)
23. The police are totally out to get me like for real.  You know some people say it and they're paranoid but no, the police are out to get me.  Ever since they couldn't get me for dropping those guns.  Allegedly.  (If I had dumped some guns and stabbed a few people I'd probably think the police were out to get me as well, and I'd probably be right.)
24. To be fair you are crazier than most.  (Can't argue with that.)
25. What exactly did you think I was going to do if I found the blog?  That's kind of rude to assume that I would tell everyone.  And even if I had, isn't that sort of the point?  To get more readers?  
26. Godson/Awkward conversation with David 3 was fucking hilarious.  I laughed for ages.  "What a lie that was."  
27. I think Dima summed it up quite nicely in saying that you need to stop going after older men because it never works out for you.  I don't know why, you would think guys in their 50's would jump at the chance to date a 20-year-old but you just have no luck with older guys.  I don't get it.  (Neither do I.)
28. I never threatened to kill David.  But if I had I would thank you for calling the police and stopping me because if the police hadn't stopped me I can't say for sure that I would have been able to stop myself from hurting David if I had made it to The Store.  So thanks for calling the cops.  You saved my life.  If that had actually happened of course.  (Right... of course.)
29. I am the sexiest cross-dresser around and you know it.  (I do indeed.)
30. By the way can I get some of the business cards.  I'll pass them out at Goth Night.
31. If you get hauled into court for a restraining order violation if they can do that now that the restraining order is expired, I'll go with you and back you up and tell them that you never did anything wrong and that is was me from the beginning.  (How helpful.)
32. I still can't believe that duck bit you.  I've never seen that happen before.  I don't think I've ever laughed that hard.  (So happy you found it funny.  Stupid duck.)

Voloyda Discovers the Blog

It's been a while since I updated.  I was busy enjoying my parent's holiday away from me.  It's been over a week since I gave one of my Stalking My Ex-Boss cards to James and there has been no horrible fallout.  I can only conclude that he didn't deem the blog creepy enough to warrant telling everyone.

Whenever I mention the blog to people they're always like 'You better hope David or the people from The Store don't find it.'  What are they going to do if they find it?  Try to file a restraining order or a libel suit against me?  The blog itself is not illegal.  I'm not doing anything illegal.  It's not as if I'm spreading defaming statements or spying or following anyone.  I don't really talk about David or the people from The Store all that often and when I do it's usually my personal feelings and opinions or stuff that has actually happened.  I don't really post their personal information or picture or anything they wouldn't tell someone.  My mother is the big one that always yells at me every time I mention it.  Yes, it's called Stalking My Ex-Boss.  It's an ironic title.  I'm not actually stalking anyone and if you read it you would realize it's mostly about what's going on in my life.  Which brings us to Voloyda.

Voloyda found the blog (With how much he was stalking me and stuff I apparently hid it amazing well that it took him over a year to find it.  I'm quite proud of that.) and bitched me out.  He said that the way I portrayed him was wrong.  And he wasn't mad about the conversations or stuff that I said about him; he just said that some of the stuff casted him in an undeserved negative light because I didn't tell the whole story.  He sent me a huge list in the post, which I will share with you over the next few days after I type it up, of everything he didn't like about how I talked about him. 

Fear of Earthquakes

This week's phobia is: Earthquakes 

Fear level: 4

Why I am afraid:
          Earthquakes are scary.  They kill people and can completely destroy an entire city.

Some facts:

• There are over 1,000,000 earthquakes a year around the world.  About 100,000 of those can be felt, and 100 or so cause damage each year.
• Several thousand shocks of varying sizes occur annually in the United States.
• All 50 states are vulnerable to earthquakes.
• Earthquakes kill approximately 8,000 people each year and have caused an estimated 23 million deaths in the past 4,000 years.
• The average earthquake lasts around a minute.
• Aftershocks occur because the displaced fault line and crust are adjusting to the effects of the main earthquake.  Larger earthquakes can have aftershocks that last for years.
• The moment magnitude scale replaced the 1930's-era Richter scale in the 1970's as the method of measuring the size of earthquakes in terms of energy released.
• A quake is considered major when it registers more than 7.0 on the moment magnitude scale.  A magnitude of 3.0 or lower is nearly imperceptible. 

How I plan to get over this fear:

•  Look into if and when there have been any damage causing earthquakes in Ohio.

Busy Day

I had a very busy day today.  Silas and I went and seen the midnight showing of Spiderman 2.  I didn't get home until 3am.  Then I had to get up at 8 to go to the Goodwill job fair.  I think it went well (fingers crossed, wish me luck).  My parents are leaving for Aruba tomorrow so I was helping them pack.  Then my mother and I went to my cousin Ryker's play at 7pm.  That let out at 10.  Then we had to take some of my relatives back to their houses.  I did not get a picture of Ryker in his costume but I will hopefully have one tomorrow to post on here.

I did give one of my Stalking My Ex-Boss business cards to a guy I'll call "James."  James is a manager at The Store.  He is the one who kicked me out and told me not to come back on the day I was banned.  He's dating the adoptive mother of my adopted cousin's brother (confusing, I know).

Today was very busy and exciting.  I have not had time to research earthquakes yet but will definitely do so tomorrow. 

EDIT: I'm not sure exactly when it happened but I found out 6/17 that James broke up with my cousin's brother's mother.  I also heard that he's hung and really good in bed but it's like fucking a teenager on account of him being so skinny.

Fear of Poliomyelitis Part 2

I know I said I would update yesterday but after my exams my grandmother had me stop over and do some chores and stuff and then she took me out to dinner.  By the time I got home at 7 I was so tired I went right to bed.

So I did get over my fear of polio.  I was vaccinated as a baby and there haven't been any cases in the United States in years.  I guess you only need to worry if you go to Pakistan.  So far this year there have been 68 confirmed cases of polio as of today at 5:57pm.  They were all in the Middle East and 54 of those cases were in Pakistan.  My next fear that I'm going to work on is earthquakes and I will post about that within the next couple of days.
