UPDATE - On that Guy From Other State...
Wed, 01-03-2007 - 8:33am

Hi all,

I just wanted to give you all an update on this weirdo (for those of you who have been following my story up till now)... Well, Since that day I hung up on him when he had the nerve to call my job, I hadnt spoken to him. Then I was out to lunch visiting a friend that I hadnt seen in a couple of years. All of a sudden I hear my cell beeping that I have a text AND a voicemail. Its this guy! I couldnt believe after him telling me it was his wish as well that we cut contact that he would call me. And this was ON new years eve day mind you. I told my friend all about him (this friend is a very good, trusted friend, and plus he is a male in his 50's, so I value his input) and he said I should ignore him and also change both my numbers (especially my home number as I have dial up service), and call all my credit cards and request new ones, and maybe even get a new bank account since I did all my banking online. He suggested I no longer do anything like that online and just lay low from the computer for a while, so so far I have changed my cell number and cancelled my aol account and uninstalled the software from my machine. But then after lunch with my friend, I went home and my home phone rang. It doesnt have caller ID, and not thinking I answered it. It was him. I didnt know what to do so I just asked why he was calling. He acted like nothing ever happened asking how i've been (it had only been 4 days) lol.. Then I said "no, why are you really calling" and he had the nerve to tell me he's back visiting and wanted to know if I had plans for that night (new years). I told him yes, I was going to my best friend's house. He quickly got off the phone at that point after saying "i'll call you back later on" (I didnt even have a chance to tell him not to), and I never heard from him again. I dont know if he'll ever bother me again, but so far no. I happen to think he went trolling for girls in the city with his brother and met someone because of a weird phone call I got that turned out to be a missed call. I called it back and he answered it. I was annoyed thinking he was playing with me again, and it just sounded as though maybe I caught him at a bad time (as though maybe someone was there with him). He basically just about hung up on me (if id known it was him I wouldnt have called it back in the first place) - but that was the day after new years and he hasnt tried to contact me since. I dont know if he will or if he will hopefully leave me alone. I still need to change my accounts, credit cards, and home phone, but i'm just hoping that that's it. So what do you all make of this?? Do you all think the problem is done? Hope so.
