For those of you who might not know, "Yoko" is (was?) my roommate's girlfriend and the constant source of misery for the past year and a half in Vegas. You'll find some stories about her back in the archives on this blog, but most of the really good ones came from a now defunct blog I had a while back.
I hadn't heard from my friend Mark in about a month but happened to catch him online today. Apparently she's still at the condo in Vegas, set to leave tomorrow to live with her daughter in Seattle. I'm not sure why she was still there since her original intent was to help him to sell his furniture and he has since changed his mind on that, but, hey...no longer my concern.
What did surprise me was a few of the revelations that he made.
Apparently, about a week before he left to return to Chicago, she started locking their bedroom door and kept a loaded gun next to the door...just in case I "snapped".
LOL...I told him that if I really snapped, there's no way in hell she'd be able to get to that weapon before I got to her.
Another thing she ended up copping to was purposely going into the kitchen when I was in there because she knew it annoyed me.
I have news for her. There was one point where I almost tossed boiling water on her as she was in my way for the umpteenth time and I was trying to spill pasta into the colander in the sink. I actually considered it for a split second but my conscience kicked in and I opted not to. Damn conscience...
Finally, she told him that she totaled her car and hates Vegas and vowed never to return.
I let him know that she was pretty much responsible for me hating the city not only since she was the first of the delusional idiots I encountered there, but also because she was one of the biggest thorns in my side. In the end, she's probably the person I despise most on the planet.
People have noticed that my demeanor has improved quite a bit since relocating. I think many came to understand that I bemoaned my very existence since she entered the picture. Even the numerous good stories she ended up providing can't hold a candle to my sheer hatred for her.
I told him, should they ever get married, to NOT invite me to the wedding...
She never did find the eggs I planted before I left. You would think in that heat that the smell would have hit her by now. Ah well...
Good riddance Yoko...I wish you nothing but terrible times ahead!

I thought the utilities were getting shut off like a LONG time ago?lol
Oh and DAMN that conscience. It really messes EVERYTHING up most of the time doesn't it?
;P
Debbie,
Well that's what I thought too...who knows what went on...not only after I left, but before.
People should be glad I have a conscience...lol...it's saved many a life! ;)
Yeah I thought so too, but then why would that stop her, she apparently doesn't think things need refridgeration anyway.
I know I've mentioned this before, but I do notice a huge change in you since you've left, Sean. You're so much less negative and bitter; it's good to have you back.
Yoko kept a gun in her bedroom to protect herself from you? LOL I didn't think she was aware of how much you hate her...then again she IS self-obsessed.
Karen
Poor Seattle!
Karen,
Yeah, I just needed to get out of that situation altogether. It takes a while to wear me down and push my buttons (in this case, a year and a half...lol), until I finally have to do something.
Ah well, I would say greener pastures lie ahead, but...who knows...
Melody,
Welcome!
Yes...that city's in for a real treat!
I'm glad you did Sean, I could see what it was doing to you, the change in you was so drastic. It was particularly disturbing because I know what a laidback, easygoing person you are.
With your new job it really does look like greener pastures lie ahead. I'm sure this is just the beginning of good things to come
ahhhh man, I'm going to miss the Yoko stories ... yes, I do have a sick and sadistic side ;-)
Chin up skiterooooo .... you'll find a new nut job in your life in no time! :-)
~K~
Karen,
I have the patience of Job...but even Job got antsy after a while! ;)
K,
I'll miss the stories too...well, the early ones when she was pure entertainment...before the dark time...before my hatred grew! ;)
Oh, there's no doubt I'll find another nut out there. I merely just have to leave the house most days!
you're a lucky man skitch ... I don't even need to leave the house to find a nutjob ... simple glance in the mirror suffices here
;-)
~K~
K,
Sometimes that happens to me...then my other personality tells me I'm ok!
>:)
