      Well... some interesting (retarded) things happened like two days ago. Dan came over and we chatted and such and he was supposed to go to work that day but he called in sick (he was ACTUALLY sick) and Roger called me to go into work, but I didn't go to school that morning, so I didn't go either. So. Dan's parents thought he was going to work because he told them he was cause otherwise he wouldn't have been able to come over.
      So, around midnight, Dan's dad called my house and started going off at me about how Dan was supposed to be at work and did I know anything about it. So I told him Dan had been at my house, but that he was on his way home. Anyways. So, needless to say, his dad raged on me and it was great. Not really.
      Next part. Five minutes later, I get another call. This time it's from his mom, who's insane drunk and I swear to God, she hates my guts or something. Dan says she doesn't but yea... I'll believe it when she... no wait, I'll never believe it. So she went crazy on me and I was trying to be polite, but it was hard cause I was crying and she was calling me an idiot and my friends idiots and how could I treat her son like I did and so and so on. (All this because he didn't go to work)
      Other things she talked about. When some *random* person called the cops on some *other random* person, she says I tarnished their family's name in the community and almost gave her a heart attack. I don't really care, but ok. No offense (offense, actually) but you didn't exactly have an outstanding reputation before. I highly doubt I did much to change what people on your street think of you.
      Right, so she says "You know my son's in love with you," and I said yea, and she couldn't understand that we're just friends and why I would still hang out with him. I asked her if one of my friends started liking me, was I supposed to start ignoring them? Yea, she just yelled at me after that, going on about how Dan came dress shopping with me for Prom and how he wasn't my date and how horibble I was for "leading him on." When I made it quite clear that friends go to the mall all the time. Sorry, next time I'll go by myself.
      I'm quite calm now, but just writing this is making me angry again. I finally went upstairs after she called for the third time and started saying that Dan had lost his job and that she hoped I lost mine too. (How she thought she figured this out at midnight, I'm not sure, but both our jobs are fine.) Anyways, the last time she called back, Dan had gotten home and got the phone away from her. She however, proceeded to call ever fifteen minutes until around 3:45 am. That was pretty annoying. She left messages on our machine like "Dan's lost his job and I hope you're happy."
      Oh, this was the best line. She was trying to be all dramatic with me, so right before she hung up on me, (yes that's right, a sixty something year old hung up on me!) she said, "I hope you enjoy your prom with your Bible camp friend!" She said it all sarcastically too... it was actually kinda funny if I hadn't been so shocked, I might have laughed. Hahaha, you know you've got no grounds for yelling at me when you sink so low as to insult my religion. Needless to say, I won't be going to Dan's house... ever again.
      So, anyways, Dan's mom says in one of her messages that she's going to call Shoppers tomorrow and talk to Roger (my and Dan's boss) about our jobs blah blah blah... so my mom (who also works there) went into work that morning and told Roger the whole TRUE story first and by the time Dan's mom called, everything was fine. Roger just humored her and rolled his eyes a few times. It was great.
      Last part of the story! Yesterday, which was the day after all these incidents, Dan's mom came into the store while both Dan and I were working. Fortunatly, she didn't know I was working, and that was good because although I was practically shaking behind my till, praying she wouldn't see me, if she had started getting testy with me, I woulda told her to screw off or stay away from me or something. That woulda been something to see. Anyways, Dan yelled at her about "slandering my name." Nice choice of words there Danny haha :) And he made her leave the store and she never even knew I was there. Oh and he told her never to call our house again because my mom had blocked their number. She hasn't really but we've got two rings and call display so Dan'll call on the line his parents don't know about if he wants to call. Hahaha, man I wonder if his family dislikes my family as much as mine dislike his. Probably.
      When I talked to Dan later that night, he told me his mom was (actually sober) crying and stuff because he told her what she said to me when she was drunk and she couldn't believe she said any of it. Hahaha, I hope she feels guilty. I probably seem really mean towards this woman. But honestly, she made my life a living hell to the point where I was blaming myself for everyone else's problems. So I was a mess for two days, but Dan has had to live with that his whole life. I think if I ever I had reason to hate someone, this would be it.
      That's about the whole damn story so I don't have to explain it to everyone. I think I got everything in there. It was pretty harsh and that would be why the last two days have not been good ones. I'll be happy if I never have to see either of Dan's parents again. Dan doesn't have "car privleges" anymore, so we can't hang out as much, but whatever, what can you do?
