“Now, don’t do anything stupid !… but it’s you. So just remember even men get killed in Mexico. “
That was the last thing Furniture Man said to me before I took off for PV at Christmas. I prefer Bon Voyage but to each their own. I bring this up because some of you have asked recently if I talk to Furniture Man anymore and the answer is no and the reason is… well, because he’s a tool as shown in the above example.
Against my better judgement, I’ve spoken to him two times since August. One was just this past week and the other was before I went to Mexico for Christmas.
I don’t want to hear about it because I’ve heard it… Why am I talking to him? I’ve heard all the naysayers etc…. and I’m over it but seeing as he lives in the loops, it’s not like I’m going to bump into him so it’s nice once & a while & catch up. The trick is catching him in the right mood. It’s also cathartic to realize, Hey! it’s not me. It really IS you.
Anyways, I spoke to him before Christmas because A: the holidays were approaching and I like to send out wishes, B: I was heading to Mexico, had never been and he had visited and C: he too was heading on holidays.
Not to be disappointed, I spoke with him just this past week and wonder if I am a horrible person for having revelled in his vacation drama. He was to be in the Dominican over new years & then head to NYC for a couple of days which would have been so much fun except that FM had failed to tell me or anyone else that he had been kicked out of the states a few years ago because he was working without a proper visa. Yes, he has been down since then, but no one caught it or cared that he was there. THIS time, however, maybe because he was coming from the Dominican not Canada, he didn’t slip through so easily. No, he was arrested & put in jail overnight & shipped home.
Is it bad that I had to contain my glee? I mean, yes yes.. it’s unfortunate to be arrested & jailed but Karma has a great way of putting a bow on it’s present to you, don’t you think? I even asked him if he thinks Karma caught up with him. Funny how he didn’t really answer that. Perhaps that’s why conversing with him any further became so painful.
“So are you visiting Vancouver any time soon…?”
Not just a pause but awkward pause…
“well, I’m going to be alone”
OK, does that mean yes? Can you answer a direct question for the first time since I’ve met you?… He clarified by saying that he’d be with people so probably couldn’t visit. Great to know but that’s not what I asked is it?
UGGGGGH! annoying. Painful really. I think he needs to get over himself and realize that NO, I don’t like you still but unfortunately unbeknownst to me & probably you, the universe revolves around him. Well, have a good trip FM, even men in Vancouver get murdered.
