Author dcgirl33 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 [sIZE=1]Darren, I see you didn’t call or email me today. I also suspect that you won't be picking me up today from work. I feel like this is getting serious. I think we both got a little frustrated with eachothere last night, but I don’t see why we're going to mess up everything over a chicken. I'm not still upset about any of it and I hope that you're not either. I should have given you the dinner. And you should have called me to say that you would be late, so what? You live and learn. XOXOXO, Jane [/sIZE] Link to post Share on other sites
Author dcgirl33 Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 [sIZE=1]I didn't say that I wasn't picking you up today, but you're going to have to be ready because I'm not going to come to a full stop. I'm just going to slow down so you can get in. I was late because I was on a conference call. I told them that they would have to call me at home so I wouldn't be stuck at work until late in the evening. They wouldn't stop talking and I couldn't just hang up. I couldn't break out of the conference call to call you either. I'm sorry I did what I did. That was childish. You really should have punched my ticket. You're pretty good at that karate. You could have put me on the ground long before I could even get that chicken in the air. I've never met a woman who could actually beat me up. I'm fascinated! Later, Darren [/sIZE][sIZE=2] [/sIZE] Link to post Share on other sites
Author dcgirl33 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 OK. This is probably none of my business and just another ignorant thing I did, but here it goes. Yesterday, we had dinner at Darren's house and while he was in the kitchen making Italian chicken, I remarked about how good it smelled and what he good cook he was turning out to be. Darren told me that he used to really be into cooking years ago and directed me to his book shelf where he had about 50 or so cook books on the 3rd shelf. I picked up Marion Brown's Southern cook book and looked inside. I used to have this one also, but Darren's book had MLK Public Library stamped on the inside front panel. I looked side several others and they all had the MLK Public Library stamp. The slot where you put the library card was removed. That whole pocket was gone from all of the books, but the MLK Library stamp was clearly visible. Over the course of the evening, I looked in cook book after cook book on his shelf and they were all library books. Darren's extensive collection of cook books was actually unreturned library books. For the first time since we met, I was actually afraid of Darren. He'd have to be crazy to have directed me to the collection of hot cook books. He seemed to keep looking at me last night. I didn't know what he wanted. My heart was just racing the entire night after discovering the books. I didn't know if he knew that I knew or what. After dinner, I told him that we had to go home because Gray had left his homework folder at home and we would see him this evening. He went upstairs for a moment and I couldn't stop thinking about all of the little children in D.C. who will never read a cook book because Darren has all of them and will not return them to the public library. I grabbed as many as could and stuffed them in my big purse I was carrying. This morning, I dropped them into the return book slot at MLK Library. I feel so satisfied today. I don't know how I'll get the rest. Maybe, at some point, I can talk Darren into turning the other books in along with himself. He told me that he's been disbarred in Michigan. He didn't say why and I didn't ask, but I have to wonder if he had a problem with some library books there also. Later on today, I'm going to email him and tell him what I did and that I know. I don't want to do it face to face because if he gets pissed off and books start flying, those little children will never see those books again. Link to post Share on other sites
StartingOver07 Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 DCG - We have lots of library books on our shelves, too. At certain times, the library determines that certain books should be taken off the shelves -- they have been replaced with newer editions, are no longer popular or are damaged. When this happens, the books are often offered to patrons for free on a "first come" basis. Just because he has library books in his home does not mean he stole them. And I doubt that having unreturned library books gets you disbarred. Note sure why I am writing this exactly, as I think this thread is made up... Link to post Share on other sites
IfWishesWereHorses Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Our library as well as a local bookstore chain sells old library books. The proceeds of the books sold through the chains go to the public library. Note sure why I am writing this exactly, as I think this thread is made up... possibly this might prevent someone from obsconding with purchased library books in the future!

Author dcgirl33 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 DAMN IT!!! I did it again. Now I stole his books. I don't need to make this junk up. This is what I do in real life. I think there's something wrong with me. He's going to fire me this time. DAMN!! Why the hell would a library give books away. Link to post Share on other sites

I think there's something wrong with me. He's going to fire me this time. DAMN!! Why the hell would a library give books away. LOL! Sometimes they sell them, as IWWH pointed out. Mine gave me a bunch on a couple of occasions, perhaps because we were such regulars in the children's department and the librarian knew me. Looks like you have some book-buying to do. p.s. I wonder if people coming to my house are assuming the worst of me because of said books! eeek! Link to post Share on other sites
IfWishesWereHorses Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Call the library post haste! Explain your vigilante deed and that you now realize that it was probably a misunderstanding. Make arrangements to pick the books up today. Meanwhile start crafting some adorable, made just for him book jackets, and present them to him with a big smile on your face. Look what I did for you honey! Link to post Share on other sites

I'm lucky there, as it seems the only thing in this world I'm allergic to are library books or books from used bookstores. My eyes water and my fingers and face swell and itch! I have to purchase all my books at full price! Link to post Share on other sites

Meanwhile start crafting some adorable, made just for him book jackets, and present them to him with a big smile on your face. Look what I did for you honey! Great idea, but it probably would have gone better if I knew the names of the books. They transferred me to a young woman who said she hadn't come across any cook books, but would be on the look out. I only took about 6 or 7. He may not even notice any gaps on his shelf. I really wouldn't care if he noticed if he were really a book thief and I was only trying to help the children of the District of Columbia. MLK Library told me that they do have annual sidewalk sales. So that makes me just an idiot who stole his books. I feel sick. If they don't find those books, I'm not going to say a single thing about it. I can't do another thing to this man! Link to post Share on other sites
Author dcgirl33 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 And I doubt that the DoD would hire anyone who was disbarred for any reason. Not True! What about the White House Lawyer who had been disbarred for 25 years? Also, just because you are disbarred in a state doesn't mean it's for life. You can reapply to that state's bar after 7 years. Further, with a top secret clearance, it depends on what your investigator thinks about why you were disbarred. It might just be how you dealt with a case i.e. constantly didn't show up for court or disregarding the interest of the client or whatever you did that caused the client to lose the case.

All Star Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 This is hilarious!!!!! Why would you take his books even if he stole them? Please tell him you took the books and tell us what he said. Please, I'll even go with you if you want me to. Link to post Share on other sites
Author dcgirl33 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Share Posted September 25, 2008 I already told him. He hung up on me. Link to post Share on other sites
Author dcgirl33 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Darren didn't pick me up from work yesterday. Somehow, I was expecting him to be out there. So I went ahead and took my walk of shame down the subway platform yesterday. I tried to hold my head up high. It felt like everyone knew what had happened and why I was back to riding the subway. ]Not that I have anything against riding the subway, but once you've been picked up and driven home in a car, it's hard to go back to the subway. I guess metro knew what happened because the train was 20 minutes late as a sorrt of welcome back to it. I didn't bother going to the library to try to retrieve the books. I don't think that would help anything at this point. One thing I did do was that I took two of Gray's "Attentive Child" supplements yesterday evening. I guess I was trying to see if they could help ME control myself. I don't think they really did anything. Lucky One - They erased my message to you and sent me a warning, but all I was saying is that sometimes when you're talking trash to strangers online, some of them are absolutely brilliant and that's what you can't see. Some people can easily find out who you really are. I'm just worried about you talking to strangers the way you do. I do feel that when you mentioned that anally raped stuff #349 you were drawing from a deep personal reference. I'm going to ask you this one time not to post anything to this thread. I'm just really in a bad mood and I find myself disgusted by you and the filth you've post here. I'm asking you nicely, let's not take this any further. You're not someone I would know in real life so I see no need to talk to you online. Link to post Share on other sites
All Star Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 DCGirl - Don't worry about Lucky One. I think we're all a little jealous. Focus on getting him back. You seem like a fighter. Don't let a few stolen books hold you down. You've got all weekend to get him back and that I what I expect. Come Monday, you'd better have a man again! He's not perfect either. He got disbarred for God sakes. Keep taking those suppliments. Link to post Share on other sites
Author dcgirl33 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 He really shouldn't be surprised by this based on my past behavior. Besides, I told him that I have some "behavior" on the first date. I know he really likes me even though I did this thing with the books and I think really he wants me to come and get him back. However, he did just hang up on me again at 11:30 today, but I think he's just trying to scare me. I didn't see him all of yesterday and I am pretty scared. I think you're right, All Star. I'm going to get him back on board this weekend. I really feel like I've changed over the past 36 or so hours. For the first time in a long time, I actually feel like I lost something.

Author dcgirl33 Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 Woohoo!!! I just called him this time from my co-workers phone. He said, "This is Darrren." I said, "Hey there, it's Jane." That's further than I've gotten lately. He said, "Get the fu_k out of here!" Looks like everything is back on track. He hurt my feelings with that. I mean, I know everything that happened, but COME ON! He didn't have to say that. I was going to go to his house this evening, but that just knocked my courage back into reserve.

All Star Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Sounds like he's coming around. That's OK DCGirl. Just get up, dust yourself off and go to his house this weekend. People say a lot of things on the phone that they would not say in person. That's why I never try to talk to anyone when they are on the phone OR in their own country.

Author dcgirl33 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Friday was my second day back on the train since Darren stopped picking me up and there was some homeless guy on there panhandling. I noticed that people were giving this guy money. He got to me and said, "I have syphilis and I just need a couple of dollars." I started to say I didn't have any money and when I looked up at him, I noticed that he had a glass bottle of rotten urine tucked underneath his arm. I knew that if I pissed him off that pee-pee was going to go flying everywhere. All I had on me was a $20 dollar bill. I had to give it to him. If you're ever in that situation, you'll find that rotten urine is a very effective intimidation tactic. Once my sister picked up Gray I called Darren and told him about the pee-pee robbery. He must have felt sorry for me because he said I could come over. I was shocked that he actually answered the phone. I could have saved me some time though b/c when I got there, he wasn't very affectionate. I tried to hug him and he took my arms from around his waste. I could see from his behavior that he was not going to invite me to spend the night, so I went upstairs and put on one of his tees and got in the bed. He came up about 30 minutes later and turned on the light and said, "I'm going to be ready to take you home in 5 minutes." I didn't reply. I was pretending to be asleep. He called my name a few more times and then turned out the light and left the room. I don't know where he slept, but he didn't come back to his bedroom. I'll bet anything that had I brandished a bottle of fermented urine when he turned on the lights, he would have been the first one in the bed. It could be that my good looks aren't going to do it anymore and I AM going to need a bottle of rotten pee-pee to get this thing back on track. Link to post Share on other sites
All Star Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 If he didn't still like you, you would not have been there in the first place. So you were there, but you didn't see any action. No big deal. Did you see him on the weekend? Link to post Share on other sites
Author dcgirl33 Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Yeah, I saw him on Saturday morning when I woke up. He was already up and had made breakfast. I mean, he had poured some fruit loops in a bowl. When I sat down at the table he asked me (sarcastically, I thought) if I got a good rest. I said No. Really, I didn't get a good rest. I was up all night wishing I'd had that bottled urine to threaten him with and make him come to bed. He went into the kitchen and started washing the dishes and loading them in the dishwasher. I told him that I could do it. I wanted to show him that I could be useful and that I'm not just a big rock around his neck. I wanted him to stay in the kitchen and talk to me, but he just left the room. Anyway, the cleaned up the entire kitchen and he came back and asked me if I could mop the floor. I could feel that there was about to be a big ass misunderstanding, so once I had mopped the floor I told him Gray would be getting home shortly and he drove me home. I asked him if I could have a kiss goodbye when I was getting out of the car and he said, "Ah, no!" I kissed him anyway. He didn't try to get away, but he didn't pucker up either.
