I’m also listening to Erykah Badu’s Worldwide Underground.
I love how she brings in phrasing or concepts from previous albums and expands apon them. I also love her hazel eyes.
She’s just so elegant.
So anyway, I’ve decided to experiment with capitalization again, and limit my elipse usage for a while. I need to remind myself to write more correctly, if just for a time. Use it or lose it? Let’s hope that maxim has a few loopholes.
My grandmother’s in the hospital, recovering from emergency surgery. Yesterday afternoon they removed most of her bowel. She’ll have an ostemy bag. It doesn’t sound like my mother really understands the gravity of of the aftermath. Either that, or she’s keeping it to herself, pretending everything’s going to be all right. In any case, I think she needs to have something removed from her own backside, her head.
So, that was just backstory to what I really wanted to vent about. I think I’ve got my familial feelings in some semblance of order, at least as far as to how I’m going to present the subject in therapy. The true object of my frustration seems quite mild in comparison, really. There’s a xangite with a grudge against me who calls at 2am, with great regularity. Just one ring. It’s usually tuesday nights, but can be more often It doesn’t show up on caller ID if it’s only one ring, therefore, the easy avenues of taking care of it, blocking, simple phone company shit, don’t apply.
Normally I just put the phone in the kitchen before I go to bed. I’m a light sleeper, and that type of awakening JUMPS my heart. Sometimes I forget, and it sucks. Sometimes I have a sick child in my bed when I forget, and that makes me angry. This time, I had the phone near me in case something went further wrong with my grandmother…honestly, people die from infected, impacted bowel obstruction, and they die quickly.
Why don’t I just change my number? Well, for a myriad of valid reasons that I don’t care to get into, and the fact that the new number wouldn’t be all that difficult for her to get again.
I guess I’m going to have to needle the phone company some more. This is untenable. If nothing else, I wish to be rid of that PsychicVampire for good. It bothers me, seeing her comments on your pages. Maybe I should be done here. Maybe that will close the link for good.

Another great pic.
Hey, dont let some pest get to you! I have no idea who that person is. *shrugs* Damn, how in the world did this person get your number? Were you friendly at one time?
Hmmmm.. Im sorry she/he is bugging you. Want me to beat them up for you?
Please.. don’t let her drive you off? Because we would all miss you, and I know I suck at commenting lately but I do make sure I read my SIR every day and I would really, really miss you
Don’t leave. That way she wins, and that’s bullshit.
Love you!
i guess(?) i know who you mean, and it makes me wonder why, if her life is so! good! now! she has nothing better to do at that hour of the night.
don’t go. who would steal my panties then?
I’m sorry, that’s really awful! There is nothing like that middle-of-the-night phone call to get your heart pumping. I hope you don’t have to leave xanga land though. I’d miss you.
shit…this isn’t a goodbye post, really…I HATE those. I’m just frustrated. it’ll pass. thanks for the lovin’!
If you wanna wait 3 years, I’ll happily litigate a tort case for you against her…
(i know, i know, i’m supposed to use my powers for goooooooood…..)
have no idea who or why, but if your ignore it, it’ll go away. Don’t give it any energy!
whew, I’m glad that you won’t be leaving… I’d be sad.
whoever that is, she sounds like she has serious issues and I hope you’re able to rid yourself of her for good!!! that kind of harassment shows some real mental instability I think.
Yeah, please don’t leave. You are much, much, much too important. Just ask for it to stop.
That aside, thank you for the support. I love you so much.
Don’ close-a-da link! But Jesus, what a pain! Might this be related in any way to a recent e-mail? If so, I’m interested in that backstory, if you have the time and are so inclined as to share it. That’s creepy, man. But don’t let it shut you down. You crack me up too much . . . I don’t wanna see you go
.
Ok, so as I look more carefully, you don’t plan to scoot. That’s good, good.
oh just gimme her number
its not like you can pick up mine –
ill harrass her to no end ^_^
smooch gorgeous
What the phone company SHOULD be able to do is put a tracking device on your phone (they did this when I had fax machines calling me at 2 and 3am). You write down the exact time of a call, then call the phone company and report it. They will track the number, and deal with the situation. I’m pretty sure that harrassment over the phone lines a Federal Offense, and she would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Good Luck.

((lars)) — sorry ’bout your granny, too.
I think Mandrake has the answer. Other wise you could put it on answerphone, no sound on the telephone, but you can monitor the calls that way. Then she would have to ring at least three times to get through to that and you can block from three rings.
You get those weirdos here. I wrote about my own little bundle of CagedRAGE today.
I’m sorry about your grandmother. I hope she gets a lot better soon.
I’ll happily assist RL with proceedings, but you hafta wait an extra year for me. Mkay? And yeah.. what Rache said. Guess she isn’t living so well as she wants people to think.
Lubya
uh dude, you want i should kick her ass? cause no one messes with my woman. that’s insane.
i hope your grandmother is doing better.
kisses & gropes.
Anyone I know? I’m torn between Mandrake’s and VM’s advice. If it’s who I think it is, then I’m with VM…
Hugs to Granny!
yep, someone you know. far too well.
vm’s advice is stellar, and it works really well 99.9% of the time…it’s just, I mean, will she still be calling me when we’re in the nursing home? you know? it’s long gone under the bridge, for me anyway.
my idea is way better.
i love counter harrassment.
you goof!
like I want to start THAT!
Well, it isn’t me.

Maybe you should get her number, so that we can all ring her, too. Around the clock, even, since we’re all in different time zones. Wouldn’t that be fun?
Why haven’t you *57 or *59′ed it? I can’t remember which it is, but if you get a harrassing call from the same person 3 times, and document it with the phone company each time, you get a case for a restraining order and prosecution.
it has to ring more than once…
