Mucic of the Devil

Days until restraining order is lifted: 128
 

I went shopping today just to grab a few things and was called a Devil Person for watching a YouTube video of an Asian man playing the violin.  It wasn’t the first time I was called a Devil Person, but it was the first time it happened for listening to violin music.

I was watching the video on my phone (with headphones in) while waiting on the people in front of me, when the woman behind me just flipped out.

Crazy Woman: What it that horrible noise?
Me: It’s violin music.

CW: What kind of weirdo listens to violin music?

Me: Me, apparently.

CW: (sees who’s playing the violin in the video) He’s Asian!  Asian people are the Devil!

Me: Um… I hardly think so.

CW: You must stop listening to that Devil music and go to church like a good Christian.

Me: Not that it’s any of your business but I’m an atheist.

CW: You’re one of those Devil People!  You worship Satan, kill children and have gay sex!

Me: As I said before, I’m an atheist.  I don’t even believe in the Devil.  And though it’s hardly your concern, you’re right about the gay sex.  I’m bisexual.

 And then she screamed and ran off.  It was quite amusing.

Halloween

Days until restraining order is lifted: 141

Back when I was still working at The Store I asked David when his birthday was and he said it was October 31st.  I was like "Oh my god.  That is my favorite day."  And he looked at me like I had completely lost my mind.  I just really like Halloween.  It's the Goths holiday.  

Trick-or-Treating for my city was pushed to Sunday because of the weather so I waited to get Halloween candy to pass out until today so it would be half off.  I managed to get over ten pounds of candy for $9.  Yay candy!

Voloyda's Craziness Part 16

Days until the restraining order is lifted: 147

I was checking the air pressure in my tires today and found a tiny box stuck to the underside of my car.  Guess what it was?  A GPS tracking device.  I wonder who could have done that?  Dammit Voloyda what the fuck is the matter with you?!  Have you completely lost your mind?!  You know I'm really not even surprised anymore.  I've come to expect this sort of thing.  What I really want to know is how long this thing has been under my car and if I'm the only person he's done this to.  I really, really hope that I am, but I seriously doubt it.  He's more obsessed with David than he is with me so I'd hazard a guess he's placed a tracker on David's car as well.  My only hope is that David does not find it.  I do not feel like dealing with the police.  And we all know I would be the first person they questioned.  Dammit Voloyda are you trying to get me arrested?  What the fuck is wrong with you?

Voloyda's Parties

Days until restraining order is lifted: 149

Silas is being a pain by refusing to go to Voloyda’s Halloween party.  I think I scared him when I told him about what Voloyda does for a living.  And I think I may have freaked him out a little when I told him if we went he’d have to sign a liability waiver.  You can’t exactly blame Voloyda for wanting to protect himself from lawsuits.  It’s not entirely his fault people tend to seriously maim themselves at his parties.  In the four years I’ve known him I think there’s been four serious injuries, hundreds of minor injuries and one death at his parties.  Or maybe it was two deaths.

There was the guy that got kicked in the throat by a horse and died (what kind of idiot doesn’t know not to sneak up on a horse?)

The guy who attempted to breathe fire who ended up falling into the fire at the bible burning and got second and third degree burns.
Then there was the guy who fell off the roof onto his head and broke his neck.

The guy who got his arm cut off by a tractor (pretty sure the doctors managed to re-attach it.)

And the guy who drowned in the pool (I think but I’m not totally sure that they got him breathing again.)

Most of those the people brought it onto themselves.  If you can’t hold your liquor you really shouldn’t be drinking.  It’s not everyone else’s job to watch you.  You can’t drink a bottle of vodka, attempt to juggle flaming sticks and then get mad and sue when you catch on fire.  It’s only the people who get really drunk that end up injured.  I told Silas if we went we would be fine because we don’t drink but he’s still refusing to go.  Oh well, there’s always next year.

Humane Society Part 3

Days until restraining order is lifted: 163

My first week of volunteering.  Yesterday I got over 2 dozen paper cuts from folding pamphlets.  And then today one of the dogs about ripped my arm out of socket lunging at a cat he saw in a ditch.  I didn't realize volunteering would be so painful. 

Humane Society Part 2

Days until restraining order is lifted: 173

Humane Society training tomorrow morning.  They'll be showing me where everything is, introducing me to the animals, and showing me how to do everything.  I'm so excited.  I get to meet all kinds of cute doggies.  It'll be a good fit for me.  I always liked animals better than people anyway.

Humane Society

I had my volunteer orientation for the humane society today. I am now an official volunteer.  They have so many cute dogs.  I want a new doggy. 

Facebook Official

Days until restraining order is lifted: 185

Silas and I are now officially dating.  It's Facebook official.  Voloyda of course saw it, pitched a fit, and threatened to stab him like he "did to Little Ivan."  Such a charming man.  So since Silas and I started going out my dad threatened to shoot him and Voloyda threatened to stab him.  He's quite resilient though, still interested anyway. 

Awkward Conversation with David 2

Days until restraining order is lifted: 195

I got a haircut today.  Got like 4 inches lopped off.  It looks so much better... unlike David's hair after he got it cut.  When I was working at The Store David had a haircut that made him look like Alan Rickman.  And then he got his hair cut really short and it looked awful and I was very vocal about telling him how bad I thought it looked.

O: What did you do to your hair?  It looks horrible.
D: *Shocked look.  Sort of like 'I cannot believe you just said that to me.'*
O: I mean... It's not horrible.  I didn't mean horrible.  It's just different.  You look totally fine.
D: You don't have to lie.
O: I'm not lying.  It looks fine.
D: You're lying.  I can tell.  You preferred it when it was longer.  I don't look like Alan Rickman anymore.
O: You still look like Alan Rickman.  But it was better the way you had it before.

Yet another totally awkward conversation between us.  I'm actually amazed he never filed a sexual harassment complaint against me.  I was constantly hitting on him.  Or insulting him, as the case may be.   I'm inclined to agree with my sister that the reason he didn't file a complaint was because he was flattered.  I mean really, how often does a married guy in his mid-50's get hit on by a 20-year-old. 

Titus

My aunt is paying me to clean her house. I blocked the entryway to the kitchen to keep the dog out while I mopped. I turn around and see this.

And then he looked so sad after I booted him back out.
