Divisions and Precisions

I Win! (I Think)

I got this in my email a couple of hours ago. At first it made me mad. Then it made me laugh. While I'm not thrilled to have gotten such an unpleasant note from someone I've never met, it delights me to no end that, going by the end of the note, this is someone that I will never have to meet. So, with no further adieu, and in all her misspelled and ungrammatical glory, I give you... Wednesday:

Greetings.

I am the Wednesday you've undoubtedly heard so much about. I am writing to you in response to an E-mail I recieved [sic] yesterday stating your intentions to have me jailed upon my attempt to stay with my boyfriend.

I have a few questions for you, which you may or may not be mature enough to respond to. First, what on earth possesses you to have such animosity towards someone you've never met? I realize that you must feel awful silly having let go of a treasure like Hollingsworth, and sad that he is with another. But these things take place in reality, and we all must deal with them. So should you.

Second, are you aware that a personal protection order is what people get when they fear imminent danger of a person who has treatened, [sic] or intends harm to you? It is for battered or stalked women mostly. The very idea that I would plan a two week stay at the place you share with Hworth in order to injure you is some kind of paranoid fantasy. Any perceived threat has been totally fabricated by you. And bogus reports such as the one you "fully intend" to implement are a large part of the reason that people in real danger have difficulty finding help. Again, its [sic] called reality, and you may wish to look into it.

Similarly, a false report of trespassing when I am welcomed in a domicile by a lease holder is not only abhorrent, but enough to have you arrested. Filing a false police report is a misdemenor [sic], as it wates [sic] police time and keeps them from dealing with actual crime. Not to mention that I would consider such a thing harassment, and could legally seek a protection order against YOU. I am not the type to use the police to handle things that keep me from getting my way but then, I'm an adult with a grip on reality.

And as a point of reference, your buildings [sic] managemnt [sic] was already informed of my intentions to stay to [sic] the place you share. They were fine with it. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that Hworth is not much of a rule breaker, just a sweet guy who didn't want your indescisivness [sic] about the where's [sic] and when's [sic] of your moving to leave me with nowhere to go.

I'd like to close by saying that even thought [sic] I could fully, and even vengefully circumvent your ridiculous attempts to get your snotty little way, that I will not set foot in your home. Your uninvited hostility, combined with your petty, mean spirited, immature manner of conducting yourself would no doubt turn my stomach if I ever had to meet it face to face. Obviously you've been spoiled by living for so long with a wonderful man concerned primarily with your happiness. Good luck in the real world sister, you're going to need... [sic]

Cordially,
WedNes

And that, dear reader, seems to be that. Of course, she's breaking my heart by telling me she doesn't want to live with me, but, that's just another reality that I fear I shall have to cope with. I hope I can handle it. While I didn't answer her directly, I did forward the message to Hollingsworth with the following message: "I have only one question regarding this: does this mean she's not moving in? Please let me know, so I can plan accordingly."

I realize it may seem petty to post my emails here, and post hers here as well. I admit, I do feel pretty petty right now. I'm still more than a bit hurt about all this, but it's getting easier and easier to dismiss. All I can do now is just shake my head at the situation, and at how stupid it's all gotten.

Of course, if she does still end up coming to my place, this will be most unpleasant. So much so that I may end up staying elsewhere while I prepare to move. I'll be sure to keep you all posted. Posted by Lisa at September 30, 1999 01:52 PM
