    And NOT a good stalker.

    I can think of a couple of people I'd wouldn't mind
    stalking me... would love it if they stalked me... but,
    NOooooooo. This is NOT one of them.

    He called me 20 times today. Before 7:30am.

    I'm not much of a morning person, as you may have once
    gathered from my posting habits, not too good at
    multitasking in the am, and he caught me as I was
    rushing to get out of the house.

    Actually, I was trying to check my blood, make sure I
    wasn't going to crash anytime soon, and, if it was low
    enough, maybe get some breakfast.

    So I ignored it because nobody wants to spend 10 minutes on
    the phone telling someone that you can't talk right now as
    they ignore every word you're saying...

    So it looks like they only called me four times later in the
    day, so only 24 calls in total. And I don't know how many
    texts. Plus a scolding message about how unprofessional I was
    on my Facebook page... plus tagged in another scolding
    message... which I finally reported as harassment, but unless
    someone is making money off of Facebook without giving them a
    cut, don't hold your breath.

    Today was worse than usual, but it's going on for a while.

    Like once I was in the roomie's caddy, on my way to talk to
    a venue about next October, and I was using the GPS on the
    dash and, of course, he calls me. So I hit ignore so he calls
    me again and again and switches numbers and switches to blocked
    caller I.D.... ridiculous number of calls...

    Gee, why don't I want to call him back when I have a free
    moment? I can't for the life of me figure out why...

    This was someone i was helping, btw. Not getting paid, he asked
    for my help and soaked up every word of advice I ever gave,
    every last thing I told him I needed in order to get the jobs
    done, and promptly ignored it.

    He wanted me to edit a music video... without the music!

    I mean, THAT was a struggle.

    Before even that he lost all of his files. As it turns out I
    had copied them all over to my USB drive to I was able to give
    him another copy... which he lost. TWICE I tried to give him
    the stuff we were working on, our first pass at the edit. He
    had no drive. Now he's claiming I've got his stuff!

    I have nothing of his. I have files on my drive but I can more
    easily format the drive then deal with him...

    So today I told him that, before I take out a restraining order
    on him, he needs to send me a photo of his USB drive.

    See, I figure he doesn't even have one, and he's going nuts
    over my avoiding a stalker and it really has nothing to do
    with any project.

    damn. And there are people who I would dearly, sincerely LOVE
    to stalk me... but not this guy.
