The Invisible Boy
Well, Jade treated me like shit all day yesterday and into today. Thank you very much, people who knew about the stalkers! She made lunch, and yet didn't make any for me. She cleaned my room, but with a vengence, and only because Dave made her. Does anyone really know how that made me feel? Jade also watched Mad TV alone in her bedroom last night. She didn't watch it with me, and even though I turned on my TV at 11:30 last night, and played Majora's Mask until nearly 1 in the morning, Jade never came in to play it with me. This is the first time that Jade's really pushed me away. It's as if all the kind things that I did for her when we were kids suddenly never mattered. She's distant when she has to talk to me, usually to yell at me for doing something that I didn't realize I was doing.
I feel like crying. Though I know I can't. I've recieved an email from someone who's been through this all before. I asked him if I could post it here on my site, as though that would make things a little more real for me. He told me to go ahead. So, here it is. Unabridged. Encouraging. And most of all, comforting:
"Dear Billy:
I understand that you're going through a tough time with your sister now, and with the people online, you have my condolences. This happened to me not too long ago. It will eventually go away. These people who are giving you, your sister, your friends, and your other relatives problems online and are building hate-sites will eventually get bored with the idea. Especially when their hits don't get as high as they'd like them to be, or as high as they used to be. They will find someone else to prey on. I have looked through your friend, Julian's web site, and he is very level-headed. I also believe that domains purchased for non-commercial means shouldn't be used to promote hate and spread lies. Be brave, Billy. These days online are going to be hard, but they will prove your strength.
Blessed be,
Randy"
You know? It doesn't make it feel any better, but it's nice to know that I have a total stranger on my side, you know? Someone who at least tells me that I'm worth something, even though I'm quite convinced that he's never read my weblog here until this whole mess got going.
Speaking of the mess, I want to talk about the people who were "concerned" with the Jade's dead thing. Marcy printed the emails... I peeked at Dave's email files... You both, who emailed Marcy, you were given permission to Jade's weblog by her personal pimp, Dave! You knew that there was something wrong when Dave took away her URL the first time. You knew it was something really serious. You knew this. So when James and I moved our diaries back to their old URLs to show that we're not afraid (IE: Dave doesn't rule our lives and decisions), Jade got a little jealous. She wanted her old URL back too. She never was afraid. Not of the stalkers, anyway. But Dave is her all. She fears what will happen if she ever looses him. Why are some women so easy to brow beat like that??? Or is brainwash a better word to use here? In either case, thanks for rocking my boat over. I really needed this right now.
