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.)
