Scrambled or fried?

I've been egged.

Literally. Shell, yolk, albumen. The real deal.

I went for my run this morning, as usual. Sometimes if there are vultures hanging around, I give them a wave and then go on my merry way. Well, this morning, there was an angel-faced girl with long blonde hair standing on the sidewalk, and when she waved me over, I didn't think anything of it. I thought maybe she needed directions or something. She looked like she was about seventeen and had the sweetest smile but still managed to look a little lost.

"Are you Will Porter?" she asked when I got a little closer. That should have given me pause, but I said I was and asked if I could help her with something.

Have you ever wondered if you're too trusting? I never did. Until today.

Anyway, as soon as I asked if I could help her with something (and actually paid attention to the fact that her hands were behind her back), she threw an egg at my chest. I was so shocked, I just stood there, looking down and wondering what the hell just happened, and then she nailed me in the head, screaming something about me being a homewrecker and turning Orli gay. (There were a few choice words in there condemning my sexuality, commenting on my oral sex skills and casting dispersions on my mother's character.) Before she could throw another one, a photographer actually came over and grabbed her (while another one clicked away). He asked if I wanted him to call 9-1-1 and have her arrested for battery, and then I started laughing. I mean, add some flour and I really would be pretty damn battered.

I declined his offer and just told him to let her go once I was back inside. I did tell her I'd call the cops if she damaged my mom's property, though. She kept yelling at me as I walked back to the house and I still have no clue if she was a mental case or just an average seventeen year-old girl. Fine line.

I hate to be one of those people who claim to not understand kids today, but I will never understand teenaged girls. I don't know if I ever want to, frankly. Most of them, in my opinion, should come with a muzzle and a tether so their parents - if they even have parents and weren't spawned by some evil mall monster somewhere - can keep them secured (and silent) in the basement. I swear I'm not as pissed off as I was, and I'm actually laughing as I type this, but, seriously, from the age of 12 to about 20, girls should be sent away somewhere. Not all. Just most.

Now, it could have been worse. It was just eggs and no blood was shed. I'm squeaky clean, the clothes are in the laundry, and I think the egg might have made my hair a little softer. But, honestly, what a waste of perfectly good food.

Are you sure you're all right?

God, Will, I'm sorry.

Baby, don't you worry about a thing. I'm fine, I promise. I'm still trying to figure out the way some people think, but I may have to give up on that.

Next time I go for a run, though, I'll have a frying pan and spatula with me.

How do you keep your sense of humor?

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-10-26 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
If I don't, I'll end up just like them.

You're a good man, Will Porter.

*smiles* And so are you, Mr. Bloom.

For what? God, mortals are so damned stupid.

*smiles* I'll give you the short version.

Orlando, the man I'm seeing now, lost his wife and child in an accident in late July. He and I had been online friends and met in person at the end of August (the 31st!). On the 1st of September, we attended the wedding of some friends and hooked up at the reception. We both felt very guilty - me because I was still with Kevin, him because he'd just lost his wife and baby - and were determined to just be friends. I'm weak, Iris, and we ended up not being just friends. After things ended with Kevin, I thought that Orli and I would be free to see each other, but his wife came back from the dead. She was never dead, it was all a trick, though I'm sad to say that they did lose their baby. There had been some light news in the tabloids about Orli seeing me, but things really blew up when she sicced reporters on me after they cornered her at the airport. Public opinion is that Orli and I are scum for being together so soon after his wife's alleged death and the loss of their baby. Today, someone from Camp Cordy decided to express this opinion.

What the fuck has it to do with anyone but you, him and the wife huh? Told you, stupid mortals.

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-10-27 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I keep saying! I can understand Cordelia hating me and Orlando, but she's the only one who gets any say in all of this!

Some people need to be slapped for being idiots.

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-10-27 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
*laughs* As long as they stop throwing stuff at me, I'll be fine.

[identity profile] goddess-rainbow.livejournal.com 2006-10-27 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Next time someone does, I will kick them for you.

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-10-28 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
*laughs* I appreciate that! But don't do any permanent damage. Fangirls aren't rational creatures so they have to be given some leeway. Maybe.

[identity profile] goddess-rainbow.livejournal.com 2006-10-28 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Just like I didn't do any to Kevin, I'll be a good girl.

Tries not to laugh, tries really hard. Not even commenting on the muzzled and tethered underaged girls.

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-10-27 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
*laughs* Oh, but you know you want to...

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/ 2006-10-27 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
The cops already accuse me of it so don't really matter.

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-10-28 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
They accuse you of muzzling and tethering??

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/ 2006-10-28 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
They say I got a thing for kids. Bunch of fucking bullshit!

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_call_me_snake_/ 2006-10-28 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Son of a bitches said I raped and killed a little girl but I know why they say it. Stupid bullshit is what it is.

Glad to see you were able to keep your sense of humor about this. That says a lot!

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-10-28 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
I can credit my mom for that. I grew up laughing when I should have been crying.

[identity profile] logan-maxwell.livejournal.com 2006-10-28 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
*smiles* She sounds like a wise woman.

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-10-30 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
I've learned a lot from her.

The...hell...

Lucky it was just an egg but still pretty fucked. People should leave others alone and just let em be happy with their choice of who they love, it's none of their business anyway just the people involved in the actual relationships business. idiots.

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-10-28 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
What really gets to me is it's strangers. The people writing these things and that girl aren't even friends with anyone. But I guess dirty laundry sells papers. Or something like that.

People have shitty lives so they have to read about the lives of others and take it way too damn seriously.

[identity profile] ex-will-port106.livejournal.com 2006-10-28 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
That's got to be it. But, you know what? I have faith that something else will grab their attention soon and this'll pass. I hope anyway.

[identity profile] wickedsinz.livejournal.com 2006-10-28 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure it will. There has to be some celebrity knocked up somewhere.
