suck it.
the best one and i were having a long conversation about a friend of hers in a bad situation. actually, the conversation was more about the friend extricating herself from the bad situation--she was finally leaving one of those monster boyfriends, after supporting him for two years and putting up will all manner of crapola. the boyfriend then threatened suicide unless she came over to his mother's house, where he was staying, to talk to him. the friend wisely refused, but called his mother to alert her to the (really pathetic and insincere) suicide threat.
these sort of hi-jinks continued, and ended with the boyfriend coming back over to the friend's apartment to get his remaining stuff. really terrible insults were thrown at her, and the guy had brought his mom with him. somehow it's worse to me that he was defaming her in front of a responsible adult. anyhow, the very worst part of it is this: when he left, the friend discovered she could no longer find her birth control pills.
the freak took her pills. that has to be the lowest thing i've heard in a while. a sort of effective neener neener from a person who is such an asshole that he shouldn't get to come out on top in any way. the message--"i decide who you sleep with"--is so awful, and the act so violating, even if it's small stuff in terms of theft or actual damage. i can't get it out of my head.
on the other hand, someone in my home town has done this.

today would have been the beginning of my first real work week, but the boss called late last night. would you believe a pipe froze in the office above, and there's three inches of standing water? well, believe it.
i just need to work it so this happens every week. heh.
