Current Mood: edgy
Currently Playing: I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me

So Ray's on vacation. Filling in for him is his cousin, whose name we dont know. Let me give you an idea of what this guy is like. Pretend you did some, I don't know, speed. Then you drank ten Red Bull's. Now try to carry on a conversation.
Rob told me that the guy came up to him out of nowhere the other day and was like "Hey, I'm Ray's cousin. I'm filling in for him. You got any problems, you need anything, you come to me, a'right?"
So, my computer is coming tomorrow and I work 9-5, so I was thinking I'd have the guy sign for it so I didn't have to go to scary downtown Yonkers to pick it up from the post office. No big deal, the super signs for packages all the time, right?
So I saw him putting out the garbage tonight and I introduce myself and I'm like "I have a computer coming tomorrow, could you sign for it and keep it in Ray's apartment until I get home at 5?" and the guy's like "Oh, now, I, uh, I don't know about that.. I dont want to be responsible for no computers. Last time I did that, I signed for a lady on the fourth floor, and then she opened it and it was missing a keyboard and some parts, and, I dont want nothin to do with a computer."
Hey, I can understand that, no problem. So I'm like "that's okay, I'll just pick it up at the post office. I may even be home when it comes"
He's like "well, no, you know, I'll sign for it, but I'm not responsible. I'll sign for it and put it in Ray's apartment, but you know."
I'm like "Well, don't worry about it, no problem."
And then we go to the elevator. And then he follows us in to the elevator.
"Well, uh, just tell him to ring the super's apartment, 1D, and if I'm there, I'll hold it for you."
"K"
Up we go in the elevator.
Rob- "woah. that guy is nervous"
Me- "woah. that guy is on something"
So I get online and check my email.
Ring.
My doorbell.
"Uh, hey, so, you know, I may be around tomorrow, so I'll just hold it for you, I'll either be around the garage or I'll be in Ray's place, 1D, so you just tell the delivery guy to ring me."
Rob- "NO, REALLY. We'd rather just pick it up, don't worry about it, no problem."
Seriously, I'm going to be sound asleep tonight at like 3am and the guys going to ring my freaking doorbell. And I'm not going to answer. So he's going to call the phone. Then he's going to crawl up the fire escape.

hey laura, it's rays cousin. i found your blog on the internet. i just wanted to let you know that they can drop off the computer at rays apartment, 1d, because i'll be there, and not at the garage, so if you still want me to hold it for you, just tell the guy to go to 1d.

Laura-

Just in case I didn't tell you before, I'll sign for your computer when it comes, but I'm not responsible, so if something comes up missing..we'll you know. So I'm staying in 1D, you know, Ray's apartment, while he's gone that is, I'll be taking care of things, so if you need anything, and I mean anything, I'll try to help. Just let me know, and I'll, you know, see what I can do. Except I really can't be responsible for a computer, you understand. Ok, well I'll be here tomorrow, so just have the delivery guy ring 1D. That's 1D, you know, Ray's apartment. I'm his cousin you know.

Hey there again,

Just leaving another message in case you didn't get the first two. This is Ray's cousin. There's a chance that I might not actually be at Ray's apartment (1D) tomorrow. I might have to go to the garage pretty early, like 4am or so. So if that's the case, I'll knock on your door before I go and let you know. If you don't answer, I'll just use Ray's keys and come in and wake you up gently.

Smooches,
Ray's Cousin.

LOLA!!! HOLY CRAP! I WISH YOU WERE ONLINE!

I just found the greatest thing I think in the entire world! If you have Winamp, go to your options and click on video, then there's a little TV icon, when you click on that you can watch streaming internet television.

There's all kind of cool shows on there, there's also a lot of porn, but it looks like there's an all Sifl and Olly channel! It's the coolest thing ever!
