Only Love Can Win
People that have known me for a long time know that I've done some really retarded things. Drinking that cancer-causing toxic waste is just one of a million things that I've done in my life that sticks out more than the others. But that doesn't mean that there aren't more, because there are.
One of the many things that I regret is making an enemy with Jana before I got to know her. I believed that she was one of..... them. Who are them?? They're people who preach the Bible their own way, saying that it's wrong to do anything but live the Amish-Nun life. No matter what you say or do, in their eyes it's wrong. It always will be. I was told this by three different people who I won't name here, but Jana knows them all. What James did, stealing email, lying, paying Lauren off, that was all wrong. But if Jana gets mad about it, he won't know why she's mad. He won't know what he's done to make her mad. He thinks he did the right thing, and it just went bad. Kind of like buying someone flowers and it turns out that they're allergic to them. But this is major. It's a federal offense. I won't judge Jana for what she does to James, but I hope that she knows that she is dealing with a disabled person. A person that doesn't realize what a mistake he's made.
I was talking with Sean today about all of this. He was shocked to find out that I hadn't stopped the hoax from emerging. "Billy why didn't you tell Jana to go to hell? She deserved it, she didn't handle things the right way, but you never gave up on her." Nope, I never did. She just didn't know me as well. I don't hate Jana. I feel sorry for her, because she's the victim here, just like if she'd been run over by a truck or something. She formed most of her opinions on news relayed to her through Marcy. And well, I don't think I need to imagine all that she came up with. I don't do street drugs. I do drink, and when I do, yeah, it's pretty bad. I fight for the people that I love. I take beatings for them. I've fought for Jana for the past three months on MetaFilter. Got them to look for Robin and Lindsay's email and other things on the web. I tried to help Jana, but these things take time. Lindsay and Robin aren't as profiled as Jade is on the web, and it's taking some time. So there was no way that I could help with over-night findings. Be patient, okay, Jana? We're getting some things, but I don't want you to get your hopes up over nothing.
I know that one of two things will happen when Jana reads this. Either her jaw will hit the floor, or she won't believe a word of it. Either way, I am happy that I could tell this, because I know that I feel this way. I helped Jana. Someone who obviously hated me for a long time, and feared me for no reason. Kind of like what Cedric did for me with this bone marrow.
I'm satisfied knowing that.
