"Attacked by a Blogger" 08/29/02 I was in a restaurant or store that my family owned. My brother was there, and MyLife180, a guy whose blog I read on the Internet, showed up. For a while MyLife180 and I just hung out, but then my brother left and began working on some project. MyLife180's wife called him on his cell phone. She probably wondered where he was. Apparently he told her he was just going to go pick up a pizza, but he had been gone for hours. He told her he'd be home soon and hung up. At that time Mylife180 began attacking me. I screamed, and my brother came into the room where we were. I thought MyLife180 would rape me. I was screaming for my brother to help me, but he just stood there. I felt so helpless. "The Last Day of School" 08/18/02 I was walking around my high school saying goodbye to everyone. I don't know why I was at my high school. It was the day before I was to start law school. I went to Ms. Huntington to say goodbye. She seemed especially sad to see me leave. She began giving me advice about dating. I wondered how she was a qualified source of advice on dating after being divorced. Suddenly Jillian walked into the room pushing her baby brother in a stroller. She asked me if I was ready to leave. I said that I was. I was actually glad that she gave me an excuse to stop talking to Ms. Huntington. Hearing Ms. Huntington talk about dating made me nervous. As I began walking with Jillian she asked me if I thought one of my male friends would have a girlfriend while I was in law school. I said that I didn't think he would, but I also doubted whether I would date anyone while I was in law school. "An Interesting Conversation with the Olsen Twins" 08/17/02 It was very late at night. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and I were sitting outside near a swimming pool. I told one of them that she would probably grow up to have an important career. I thought she would become a doctor or lawyer or other professional. Her sister then turned to me and asked about herself. I told her that I thought she would become a housewife. She seemed disappointed by my prediction. I tried to explain to her why being a housewife is an important job, but I think I was not very convincing. I looked across the pool and saw one of my male friends sitting and listening to our conversation. He looked at me and smiled. It was as if he wanted me to become a housewife. "Grocery Shopping with My Mother" 08/10/02 I took my mother to the grocery store. She wanted to buy so many items that we did not need. When we got home I saw that she had like 50 boxes of crackers. I was so angry that she wasn't responsible enough to make good choices. I left her and went to a mall with my friend Diego. In one of the stores a former professor approached me. She congratulated me on graduating early and asked me if Diego had referred me to her class. I said no and told her that a boy I knew from high school had suggested the class. Then I realized that I was actually at the mall with that boy from high school, not with Diego. "Dating Calvin, Gavin, and Brandon" 08/07/02 My mother and I were staying at my grandmother's house. I was getting ready to go to some kind of dance that resembled prom. I was very excited about going to the dance because my date was Calvin. Later I realized that my date was not Calvin. I thought my date was Gavin Rossdale of Bush, but as my date was saying goodbye to me I realized that it was Brandon Boyd of Incubus. He told me that he wanted to give me flowers, but fresh flowers are very expensive, so he would mail them to my home. I thought that was really weird. "Ignoring Friends" 08/06/02 I was at some type of outdoor meeting where everyone was going around and talking to people they hadn't met. The point of the activity seemed to be to meet new people. I spotted Calvin nearby, so I went over to talk to him. He was speaking to a girl that I didn't know. I tried to join their conversation, but Calvin completely ignored me and made no effort to introduce me to his new friend; he wouldn't even speak to me. I felt so hurt and abandoned. "The Girlfriend Payoff" 08/04/02 I was at my grandmother's house with a guy that I know. He told me that he couldn't be friends with me because he had to pay his most recent girlfriend $8,000 after they broke up. I wondered what that situation had to do with me because I was not dating this guy. I couldn't imagine why he'd have to pay her that much money. I eventually assumed that he paid her that money so that she could afford an abortion. That thought seriously bothered me. I told him that he didn't have to worry about what happened in the past because it wouldn't happen again. I explained to him that he and I were equal friends, so we would never find ourselves in a situation like the one with his ex-girlfriend. |
