#Savannah GA is awesome

[saintbuffy]

I’m going to be in Savannah GA for my birthday this year (September). I really want to do something awesome. Any recommendations?

Two years ago when I went for my bday, we went on a haunted ghost tour, had brunch, went to the art store, and visited a botanical garden. And that was a great day.

Also will take general recommendations! I’ll be there for a week. I’m going to hit up Flannery O’Connor’s childhood home but that’s all I’ve got so far.

The Receipts: The Supermoon of Doom (Sept 2015)

So, I realized I wasn’t going to be able to just leap into the messy active part of the Chris/Jenny timeline in 2016 without first looking through what came before it. Namely, the weird overlapping with Minka’s last go-around in 2015. So, here it is, the beginning of it: September 2015!

September 2 – Chris attended the premiere of Before We Go at the Arclight Theater in Los Angeles.  He looked hot in that Italian suit, but his sad eyes said all that needed to be said about what he now felt about his first directing venture.

THE LAST ‘MINKA DAY’

Sept 5 – Chris and Minka are papped walking her dogs outside her house in WeHo

Later that day, Chris hosted a Labor Day Weekend BBQ at his L.A. house. Minka attended. She stayed at his house that weekend. At some point, one of her friends visited and took a pic in the famous backyard.

Sept 11-13 – Las Vegas (?)

Sept 13 – Chris makes a pair of tweets showing he had been in Las Vegas over the weekend. It Is unknown if Minka was with him. (This timing lines up with other trips taken to Vegas at the same time of year to celebrate the birthdays of both Scott and Tara.)

Sept 14 – Chris appears on ‘The Talk’ to promo Before We Go

Sept 17 – Chris appears at a Fila event in Shanghai, China, with Scott and Guillermo accompanying him

Sept 25-26 – Chris attends the Salt Lake City Comic Con, his first convention appearance. He and Hayley Atwell spend the weekend being awesome together.

Sept 27 – Gifted begins pre-production and rehearsals in Savannah, GA

For those who don’t remember their astronomical events, this day was also a supermoon event. Jenny went wild with the tweets because of it.

JS tweets from Sept 27th:

And the deleted third one I don't have a screencap of: "What if my pussy vibes so hard w the SUPERMOON that is grabs my heart & they dance out of my underpants & across the dinner table & into the sea"

So, whatever else was happening, the supermoon had Jenny really preoccupied with her pussy. Good to know.

Sept 28 – Jenny makes an IG repost of bts Gifted rehearsals

And that's September 2015!

I want to show off this really cool vintage school book I bought from an antique mall in Savannah, Ga last year.

Sure, the cover is pretty cool. Beautiful embossed details and considering this book is 140+ years old, it's in pretty good condition. That's not why I got it though.

This book belonged to Lyman Ellsworth of East Berkshire Vermont, and he dated it January 28th 1882. He misspelled his name on this first page, which is pretty cute.

Also the copyright page, just because I think it's cool. But my favorite parts are the bits Ellsworth left behind of himself.

Love the blue ink splatter by where he was writing. He must have been a bit older as his handwriting is much nicer than earlier. Also the sideways note in the top corner. "The Teacher is going to be married pretty soon you see she feels well this morning any way (profily) that was..." I can't make out the rest of the note, or what "Profily" is supposed to say. Maybe someone here will have better luck with it.

I think he was exchanging love notes on this page. Adorable.

The first one on top reads "Lyman is your name and happy is your life & happ is (I can't make out her name I'm sorry) when you take her for your ..." it's probably fair to assume it says wife.

A little "roses are red" poem, which looks like it was written by someone else.

"How would you like to-" like to what?

And a slightly different version of the first poem:

"Lyman is his name and happy happy is his life and happ is ____ when he takes her for his wife."

Also I am obsessed with his drawings:

One of these guys is smoking a cigarette and is labeled "Master of Powers" which is pretty awesome. I feel like this would make a pretty cool album cover

Self portrait?

Thought I'd share, because I am delighted to own this vestige of a person who likely has been completely forgotten. I hope he lived a good life.

wait i though the 'take my white ass to six flags' thing was a meme?

but to be fair to them, its cheaper and probs easier to get to a six flages than didney. i could probs afford to go to the six flags in my state but disney would put me more in debt just to get to any location

like i agree six flags is not GREAT but when you're a broke bitch....

is it? I don’t know. it sounds like a meme but I am just a guy

it IS easier and cheaper to get to six flags for sure!! i actually started to go in harder on it in my tags and then reeled back because that exact thing occurred to me.

Idk which six flags is yours, but mine is six flags over georgia and its generally considered… not the greatest? not the worst either, but no one’s traveling here to go there. also, its like, 99F with 100% humidity on any given day. which I guess isn’t much different than Disney World’s location in Florida, but Disney at least gives you more places to find shade and cool off.

Personally I just think like, as far as Georgia attractions go…. you can do yourself a million times better by going ANYWHERE else than six flags with your money.

there’s a Margaritaville water park at Lake Lanier (which has a super interesting historical background and has a legacy of being haunted!), there’s the zoo, the aquarium, the world of coke (which is kinda lame too tbh but ATL is where cocacola was invented! and they have a cool little room where you can try all their products from different countries), the civil rights museum is an extraordinarily interesting place and I can’t recommend it enough either.

I’d also be remiss to not mention Oakland Cemetery, which is one of my favorite places in the world and has tours every weekend! its ~40 acres and ~200 years old. a lot of ATL’s mayors are buried there, as well as the writer of Gone With The Wind, Margaret Mitchell, and country legend Kenny Rogers. it has a deep and complicated history and I highly encourage everyone to interact with it. they have awesome volunteers (I may be biased), a little giftshop, and really cool events that happen seasonally!

there’s Savannah GA (also haunted!) (they have a haunted pirate restaurant!) (they get fucking crazy on St Patricks Day!) (and theres the beach!) (Tybee Island is nearby! you can visit lighthouses and go on wild life tours!)

there’s Stone Mountain (which gets a lot of shit but is fun as a day trip thing and they have cool light shows at night), in the fall you can go up to the mountains and visit the apple orchards and pick your own apples and most of the places have VERY GOOD baked goods and cider. there’s also Helen, which is a cool little town with european influences, and Dahlonega, which both have river rafting and are extremely beautiful places.

if you want to go further south, you can visit the Okefenokee Swamp, but I’m not even going to pretend like I know a lot about what south ga has going on.

none of this even takes into consideration the amount of other historical sights + nature parks we have scattered about.

tldr my state is full of really cool and very fun things to do that aren’t just 15 different rollercoasters and a subpar waterpark

2011 - Dables & The Fountain Inn Jam (demo)

***Download a zip file of Dables & The Fountain Inn Jam (demo) here:***

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RSzfzhVkqowAAl8c6wunc7leUY7fi0S3/view?usp=sharing

Hey yall! Only a 4 month gap between posts this time! The boredom must be setting in strongly...

This is my first demo with the live Dables band (me, Jake Garrett, & Cody Blackwell), called “Dables & The Fountain Inn Jam”. Released online in late January 2011 (exact date unknown), & we also made 75 CDs that were given away for free at our first show on March 17, 2011. They were CD-R’s in a colored slim case with printed artwork, which I paid for and hand-made entirely by myself.

This album (and band lineup that would end up lasting to this day! That’s 12 years so far!) came about because Cody Blackwell from my old band Death Mullet & Mr. Waffle had recently moved back to good ol’ Fountain Inn, SC after living in Savannah, GA for several years.  Within maybe two or three months of him moving back, we got together with our other good friend and ex-bandmate from Death Mullet, Jake Garrett, who presented the idea of the “24 Hour Album” to us. 

Basically, his idea was to record an entire album’s worth of songs in exactly 24 hours or less, from start to finish. That meant writing the songs, learning the songs, recording the songs, and mixing the songs all within 24 hours and releasing it immediately as well...I’m not sure how many songs exactly make up an “album”, but both Jake and I had plenty of experience with home recording so we figured we could get at least 7 or 8 songs done in 24 hours, even if it sucked. In fact, it didn’t matter to us at all if it was going to be terrible or not, we just thought the challenge of trying it sounded like a fun idea. It was 100% just about having a good time jamming together since it had been several years since the three of us had played music with each other. Cody was living in Georgia, I was busy with my band DAN, and trying to get Wuss off the ground, or playing solo shows as Dables, and Jake was busy with his bands The Blueroots and The Nitecrawlers (and probably others too that I can’t remember lol...dude has been in SO many different bands) so it was a big deal for us to be playing music together again since we were all in our first real band ever together (Death Mullet) and we had also played a few shows as our side project Mr. Waffle back in the day too.  These were the guys who were on stage with me at the very first show I ever played, which was literally also their first show they had ever played too. Hell, the 3 of us all played our first 7 or 8 shows that we ever played in our lives together. Jake has probably played like 500 or more shows by now, and Cody has played his fair share as well, but all of our first 7 or 8 times ever playing in a band on a stage was with each other. So we were having a blast hanging out again and jamming again after almost 4 years without doing so.

The only problem was it sounded pretty difficult to actually write that many songs from scratch that quickly, so I figured I would just dip into the solo Dables catalog for the songs since I already knew them and most of them were pretty simple to play.  So that’s pretty much what we did, and I was super excited to be playing Dables material with an actual band for the first time ever too! It almost felt like I was hearing these old songs I wrote for the first time, and it was awesome.

We eventually re-recorded actual versions of all of these songs (done the right way, not fast as possible like this crazy ‘24 Hour Album’ thing) several months later for what would be our first real album together in 2012. I will go into more detail about these songs when I write the blog entry for that album later on...The older Dables songs that we learned in mere hours were “All The Retards Are Gettin’ Married”, “Boredumb”, “Paint The Town Brown”, “Piece of Rock”, “Love Headache”, and “Hey Sid”. All of them already existed as tracks on previous solo Dables albums, but had never been played with a full band before. “Sleepytime” was mostly already written as well, but had yet to be recorded at that point so that one went quickly. Especially considering it’s only 3 chords, and then you just play a bunch of random noise, and that’s the whole song, hahaha...we did end up polishing the hell out of Sleepytime much later on and actually writing specific parts for the noisy ending instead of just playing whatever like we do in this recording of it...I was really into Daniel Johnston and Syd Barrett at the time, so we also did “I Live My Broken Dreams” and “Effervescing Elephant” since I knew they would be easy and go fairly quick. After we finished recording all of these, the last one we did with Cody was “Loop 4″, which is just us fucking around with my loop pedal and then he went home but Jake and I continued trying to get more tracks recorded after Cody left so he quickly wrote “Every Day is a New Day” and “Awkwardly Awkward” literally on the spot, both within an hour and I played the drums on them, despite definitely not being a drummer. But somebody had to do it since this wasn’t a “band” yet with set roles, so we were trading off instruments like crazy during these times. Jake mostly plays drums for Dables, but on this demo he plays guitar and on the first album he plays bass on several tracks while Cody plays the drums, but we stopped doing that after a year or so and settled into Jake always on drums and Cody always on bass.

The recording went rather quickly because all 3 instruments (guitar, bass, & drums) were being recorded on a single track, not individually, with us all playing at the same time. So if 1 person messed up, we all had to start the song completely over. We mic’ed everything up properly with decent mics, I think 4 of them on the drums, and 1 on each amp, and then ran it all through a mixing board so it would then go to the Tascam Portastudio on just a single track. So it’s essentially just a recording of the room sound, and it’s all being pre-mixed directly onto the track so it shouldn’t completely suck (we did spend some time on making sure the pre-mix sounded relatively decent before recording anything) but we didn’t care if there was bleeding, or minor mistakes, or fuzzy lo-fi quality, we only had 24 hours here...since all the instruments were recorded onto a single track, there wasn’t much mixing you could do so once that was all done, we did all the vocals on separate track. No overdubs whatsoever. No time for that shit on the “24 Hour Album”.  It was amazing to watch Jake come up with the lyrics to “Awkwardly Awkward” and “Every Day is a New Day” pretty much off the top of his head.  He played a simple chord structure that I could mostly follow on the drums, we practiced each song 4 or 5 times each, and then he recorded the vocals afterwards without writing any of the lyrics down at all and they both came out great and absolutely hilarious, I especially love Awkwardly Awkward, but I’ll wait until the blog entry for our first real album where we re-recorded much, much better versions of all of these songs to go into detail about the songs themselves.

I then went home and stayed up late doing the best mixdown of these songs I could considered there was only 2 tracks per song; the vocal track and the pre-mixed music track. I put the tracks on my computer into Cakewalk, edited them a little bit, and exported the finished wav files. So that was it! It might sound like crap and is totally 100% rushed demo-quality stuff, but the three of us accomplished our goal of the “24 Hour Album” and learned and recorded 13 songs in a single day. On December 5, 2010 to be specific!

We got together again a week later to listen to the final product and decide on what to call the “album”. They didn’t care much what we called it, so since we were recording and jamming all of this in Fountain Inn, South Carolina and it was mostly old Dables songs, I named it Dables & The Fountain Inn Jam, which we actually billed ourselves as at our first show playing these songs a few months later. For some reason I can’t remember, nobody wanted to just call it Dables so we decided that we’d call the band something different every show, always Dables and ‘The Something Something’...This lasted for 5 or 6 shows I think until we finally decided that this was an actual band now, not just a thing we did for a goof like the 24 Hour Album was. Some notable names we played shows as that I can still remember were Dables & The Scuba Diving Maniacs. Dables & The Goddamn Beach Boys. Dables & The Weebles (But They Don’t Fall Down).....While we were there, we re-formed our other old jam band project Mr. Waffle, and recorded 3 additional tracks! “There Are Police Across The Street”, which I actually kind of like because of how weird and funny it is, was pure improv and was also true, I could see multiple cop cars with flashing blue lights out the window at the house across the street while recording the vocals. “The Return of Mr. Waffle Part 1 & 2″ were us jamming on some old Mr. Waffle riffs and ideas, using the same setup of “everything going through a mixer to a single track” lazy-ass strategy as the 24 Hour Album.

When it came time to upload this “24 Hour Album” to the Internet, I thought I might as well include the 3 tracks from the second jam session at the end of it, although I suppose that makes it not technically an album that was made in 24 hours because of those 3 extra tracks that were recorded on a different day...But I bet if you add up all the time we actually spent working on it (1st session was from about 4 PM - Midnight, with another hour or two spent mixing and editing them into the finished wav files. 2nd session was 3 or 4 hours of jamming, then took less than an hour to edit and mix them down), this entire thing, 16 tracks worth of rockin’ tunes, was created with about 14 or 15 total hours of work so in my opinion---MISSION FUCKIN’ ACCOMPLISHED, DUDE. WE MADE AN ENTIRE ALBUM IN 24 HOURS! YEAH BO!

After Christmas and the New Year came and went, I released Dables & The Fountain Inn Jam on Bandcamp and Soundcloud, and although we called it an ‘album’ at the time, it is very clearly just a quick demo of questionable fidelity now, and fairly pointless to listen to since we re-recorded far superior versions of all of these songs later on. But it was an important or notable enough demo to warrant this entire blog entry here on my ongoing ‘Dables Retrospective’ series, since it was the birth of Dables as a real band instead of just me and a drum machine, like it had been up until that point.

Nowadays I cringe at this recording, and don’t like it much at all other than “There Are Police Across The Street” still makes me laugh and there’s some good riffs in the Mr. Waffle jams...But I can’t say that we didn’t have fun making it, so much so that right after we released this sometime in January 2011, we started having regular band practice every Thursday and were playing shows within 3 months after recording this. Which it all went pretty strong, we rarely missed a Thursday practice and/or get together and played a show about once a month or so from 2011 until it slowed down in 2016, and then we went on hiatus in October 2016 for the next 3 years. We got back together in 2019 to record a new album, which we finally released in December 2021 called “108 Years” and is definitely our best work. We don’t get together or play shows nearly as much as we used to, but we all enjoy playing and hanging out with each other so much, and have been friends over 15 years now that although we may take long, extended breaks without getting together to play music, I believe that Dables will never truly end and that Cody, Jake, and I may very well play music together in some capacity for the rest of our lives. You never know when the bug bites us again and the planets will suddenly align, and we are playing together as Dables again. I’ve been writing and fine-tuning songs and stockpiling ideas for Dables again lately, just waiting for the right moment to call up the dudes. We’re all in our mid 30′s now with stupid adult problems and responsibilities so band things definitely happen slower and are harder to organize now, unlike when we were all like 23, 24, 25 when we wouldn’t dare miss a Thursday practice or we’d gladly play a weeknight show and get home at 3 AM after getting paid 32 bucks for the gig and you also got work in the morning. That’s a bit more challenging when you’re 36 and overweight with IBS & shit now lol... But never say never because Dables is basically a life sentence for us, especially for me. It was my first real music project and it will someday be my last.  I tend to focus on other projects lately but Dables is always on the back burner and will never actually end, and I will always come back to it in one way or another.

One last thing...The cover art for this demo is simply a picture of the been-there-forever local Drug Store in Fountain Inn on Main St.  It is on the exact same street where Jake’s house was, where this demo was recorded, about 3 or 4 miles straight down the road from where he lived. I found the picture online and used it as the album cover just to get a cheap inside-joke laugh out of Jake and Cody, who I knew would recognize it right away because that sign has been there, completely unchanged, for at least since I first moved to Fountain Inn in 1998, and it was a location mere miles away from where the music was recorded, so I thought it worked great for the cover art. No titles of the band or what this is, just FOUNTAIN INN DRUG CO. PARKING IN REAR.

25 Days of BeChloe Christmases - 2020

Day 2 - Making Breakfast

Prompt from FanFiction User electroniszappa: The full prompt is noted at the end because I don't want to give anything away. NOTE: I didn't follow the prompt exactly, but I hope you like what I did with it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bellas were in the Bellas House when Chloe came in, talking on the phone.

"I don't know, mom," Chloe said. "I'll let you know as soon as I decide. I'll call you later."

Chloe ended the call and ran a hand through her hair. She let out a heavy sigh as she shoved her phone into her back pocket.

"Everything okay, Chloe?" Beca asked.

"No," Chloe said sadly.

"What's wrong?" Beca asked, getting up from her seat and walking over to the redhead.

"My parents are getting a divorce," Chloe said. "And they're both trying to get me to spend Christmas with them. They want me to choose between them. God, I hate this."

Beca, in an uncharacteristic move, pulled Chloe into a hug. "As a daughter of divorced parents, I know how you feel."

"Is it always like this?" Chloe asked, falling into the hug and pulling Beca closer.

"I would say it gets better as you get older," Beca said with a grin. "But you're already old, so I can't help you there."

"Beca!" Aubrey chastised.

Chloe pulled back from Beca and slapped her arm. "I'm not that old."

The other girls chuckled.

"You have to remember, I was only five when my folks divorced," Beca said. "And my dad didn't care about seeing me until I graduated from High School. At least your folks still want to be around you."

"What are you going to do, Chloe?" Stacie asked.

"I don't know," Chloe said. "My mom is going to my Aunt Sarah's in Savannah. I haven't seen her or my Uncle John in years. My dad is staying in Tampa and spending Christmas with my grandparents."

"Which one would you rather visit?" Beca asked.

"Neither, really," Chloe said. "My Aunt Sarah is very anti-LGBTQ and since my mom told her I was bi, she's given me the cold shoulder. My dad's parents are very conservative and would be worse. So, it wouldn't be any fun for me in either situation."

"You can hang out here with me and Beca," Stacie said. "My folks are doing their Doctors Without Borders work. And, my sister lives in L.A. and is spending Christmas with her in-laws. So, there's no one for me to spend Christmas with."

"And I can't afford a ticket to Oregon to see my mom," Beca said. "And my dad and Sheila will be going to the stepmonster's sister's house in New Orleans."

"Unbelievable!" CR practically yelled as she stomped down the stairs.

"What's up, CR?" Chloe asked when CR reached them.

"My family doesn't want me to come home for the break," CR said. "Apparently, my great-grandma is going to be there and they don't want to upset her by having their gay daughter around. She's ninety-seven, homophobic, and as mean as they come. So, I'm dodging a bullet if I don't go home; but it hurts that I won't get to see my family for Christmas."

"Jessica and I aren't going home either," Ashley added. "Like Beca, neither of us can afford it. And our folks don't have the money to help us."

"I have a great idea," Aubrey said. "You should all come with me. My folks are going on a cruise with both sets of my grandparents. So, I'm going to spend the holiday in our cabin in Upstate New York. If you all come I won't have to spend Christmas alone. It could be fun."

"Aubrey," Beca said. "We all just said we can't afford to go home. How are we going to afford to go to New York?"

"We can take the Bellas bus," Aubrey said. "That way we'll have room for everyone. I'll cancel my plane ticket and use that money to pay for the gas."

"Driving will take like fourteen to sixteen hours," Stacie said.

"We can take turns and share the driving," Aubrey said. "And we can save money by packing food and drinks for the drive, so we won't have to stop at restaurants to eat. I'll have the lodge's caretaker stock the refrigerator and pantry with plenty of food and drinks so none of us have to worry about spending much once we get there."

"I'm in," Chloe said enthusiastically.

"Me, too," Jessica said, nodding her head.

"Thanks, Aubrey," Stacie said. "Count me in, too."

"Me, too," Ashley said.

"I'll go," CR chimed in.

"What about you, Beca?" Chloe asked. "Are you coming with or staying here by yourself?"

Beca thought for a moment, looked at CR, and asked, "CR, didn't Denise say she wasn't going home either?"

"That's true," CR said. "I'll stay behind so Denise isn't alone."

"She's welcome to join us," Aubrey said. "We can ask her when she gets back from class."

"If Denise says yes," CR said. "I'll go, too. I just don't want to leave her here alone for Christmas."

"Same here," Beca said.

"That's sweet of you two," Chloe said, hugging Beca.

"Whatever," Beca mumbled.

"I really hope you go to New York with us," Chloe whispered to Beca before ending the hug.

~~ Day 2 of the 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases - 2020 ~~

After some last-minute shopping for coats and warmer clothes, the girls were on their way. CR took the first driving shift. Each of the girls took a two-hour shift of driving ending with Aubrey, who took over just as it started snowing.

"We're here!" Aubrey called out as she pulled into a long driveway.

The tires made a crunching sound as the bus moved through the light covering of snow that had covered the drive.

"Wow!" Beca exclaimed as the cabin came into sight. "This place is awesome!"

The rest of the Bellas agreed and started gathering their belongings.

"Hopefully, it will snow again while we're here," Aubrey said, as she exited the bus. "It's even more impressive with snow all around."

"Brrr," Beca said as she stepped off the bus. "It's really cold."

"We're right on Lake Ontario," Aubrey said. "The northern winds coming down across the lake makes it feel colder. It's late. Let's get inside and figure out who's sleeping where. There are only four bedrooms so we'll have to share."

"I'll room with Beca," Chloe quickly called out, causing Beca to blush.

"Denise and I are roommates already," CR said. "So, it makes sense for us to share."

"Jessica and I can share," Ashley said. "If that's okay with her?"

"I'm good with that," Jessica said.

"Awesome!" Stacie exclaimed, winking at Aubrey. "That means I get to share with Aubrey."

Aubrey opened the door and ushered the Bellas inside.

"Wow!" The Bellas exclaimed as they entered.

Everyone looked around wide-eyed at the Christmas decorations.

"Ooo, a fireplace," Stacie said, winking at Aubrey. "How romantic. I can picture us now, snuggled up together with a cup of hot chocolate, whispering sweet nothings into each other's ear."

"Take it down a notch, Stacie," CR said. "I think you're embarrassing Aubrey."

"I, I'm not embarrassed," Aubrey said, her cheeks pink.

"Beca," Chloe said as she stood next to her. "Why don't we go pick out our room?"

"Why don't we all pick out our rooms?" Aubrey said. "Follow me."

The girls grabbed their bags and followed Aubrey upstairs.

~~ Day 2 of the 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases - 2020 ~~

After the rooms were assigned, the girls were tired from the long road trip and decided to turn in. Chloe walked back into the room after using the bathroom and saw Beca standing in front of the window, staring out into the night.

"Whatcha thinking about so hard over there, Becs?"

Beca looked over her shoulder and said, "Not thinking, just watching the snow falling."

"It's snowing again?" Chloe squealed and ran to stand next to Beca. She stared out the window and whispered, "It's beautiful!"

Beca just looked at Chloe and smiled. "Yes, it is."

Next door, Aubrey and Stacie were laying in bed, quietly chatting. They heard Chloe's squeal and raised their heads to look at the wall separating the two rooms.

Stacie chuckled as she said, "I gather from that squeal either Beca finally told Chloe she likes her, or. . ."

"Chloe saw that it was snowing again," Aubrey finished the sentence with a laugh.

"It is?" Stacie asked, turning to look out their window.

"Yep," Aubrey said. "According to the latest weather report, we'll get several more inches by morning."

Across the hall, CR and Denise were also looking out the window at the snow.

"It's so quiet," Denise whispered.

"I love the snow," CR said. "Looks like we'll be having a White Christmas."

Next door to CR and Denise, Ashley and Jessica were snuggled up together, fast asleep.

"We should go to bed," Chloe finally said after watching the snow for a few minutes.

Beca nodded and turned toward their beds. She climbed under the covers and turned off the lamp on the nightstand between her bed and Chloe's.

"Goodnight, Chlo," Beca said.

"Goodnight, Becs," Chloe replied.

The two fell asleep within minutes.

Stacie and Aubrey continued talking about the snow and having a White Christmas.

"I always loved when we'd have a White Christmas," Stacie said. "Sledding down the hill by our house, snowball fights. One time my sister and I built a snow fort. We always had a blast together."

Hearing the wistfulness in Stacie's voice, Aubrey looked over at her.

"You miss her," Aubrey said.

"Yes, I do," Stacie said, snuggling into Aubrey. "She's five years older than I am and moved to California for college and made a life for herself there. I haven't seen her since she graduated. That was three years ago."

CR and Denise continued to watch the snowfall.

"I've never had a white Christmas," Denise said. "This will be my first."

"We'll definitely have to have a snowball fight," CR said with a big grin. "It's kind of the law when it snows."

"I can't wait," Denise said, causing CR to chuckle.

"I'm going to turn in," CR said as she made her way to her bed. "It's late and I have a feeling Aubrey will have us up at the crack of dawn."

Denise climbed into her bed and turned to face CR. "I have a feeling Stacie will keep her busy until a suitable hour."

"Stacie and Aubrey?" CR asked. "You really think there's something between them?"

"Yes," Denise said, covering a yawn with the back of her hand. "Don't you?"

"I really hadn't noticed anything," CR said. "They're not as obvious as Beca and Chloe."

"You mean as oblivious as Beca and Chloe," Denise responded with a light chuckle.

CR chuckled and settled under her blankets.

"Hey, Denise?" CR said a few minutes later. "Are you still awake?"

"Barely," Denise mumbled. "What's up?"

"I was wondering if, once we get back to Barden, you would maybe want to go out with me sometime?"

Denise sat up and switched on the bedside lamp; she looked over at CR.

"You're asking me out?" Denise asked, smiling.

"Um, yeah?" CR said. "It's just, I really like you and I'm hoping you might feel the same way."

"I do like you," Denise said. "And I would love to go out with you."

"Yes!" CR yelled.

"What the Hell?" Beca called out as she sat upright in her bed.

"That sounded like CR," Chloe said, reaching to turn on the lamp.

"Let's check on her," Beca said, climbing out of bed.

Chloe did the same and was surprised to see Stacie and Aubrey coming out of their room as well.

"Was that CR?" Aubrey asked.

"It sounded like her," Chloe said. "Do you think we should check on her?"

"I don't know," Stacie said. "We may walk into something we don't want to see."

"What do you mean?" Beca asked, furrowing her brow.

"CR and Denise may be hooking up," Stacie said, chuckling when Beca's face reddened.

"Really?" Aubrey asked.

"Yes, really," Chloe said. "Haven't you seen the way those two look at each other? I guess one of them finally said something."

The four Bellas heard moans through the door. Beca's eyes widened and she looked around at the other three. Chloe and Stacie were smirking and nodding their heads. Aubrey's face was flushed.

"I'm going back to bed," Beca said, throwing a thumb over her shoulder at her room.

"Me, too," Aubrey said, turning and going into her room.

Beca turned and entered her room; Chloe and Stacie looked at each other and laughed.

"Goodnight, Stacie," Chloe said as she went to her room.

"Goodnight, Chloe," Stacie said.

~~ Day 2 of the 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases - 2020 ~~

"Good morning, sweetie," Jessica said, kissing Ashley awake.

"Mmm, good morning," Ashley said, stretching and leaning into the kisses.

After a brief make-out, Ashley pulled back and looked at Jessica.

"I want to tell the girls about us," she said. "I want to be able to kiss you and hold your hand in front of everyone."

"Okay," Jessica said. "I'd love for them to know about us."

"Let's go make breakfast for everyone," Ashley said, reluctantly letting go of Jessica so she could slide out of bed.

"That's a great idea," Jessica said. "Let's go."

The two girls left their room and quietly made their way downstairs.

An hour later, Stacie woke to the smell of bacon.

"Mmmm, someone's making breakfast," Stacie mumbled, reaching for Aubrey.

Aubrey was not in the bed. Stacie sat up and looked around to see Aubrey standing by the window. She got up and padded over to Aubrey, putting her arms around Aubrey's waist.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah."

"Are you regretting last night?"

"God, no," Aubrey answered quickly, turning to face Stacie. "It was one of the best nights of my life."

Stacie leaned in and kissed Aubrey; Aubrey quickly returned the kiss, pulling Stacie closer to deepen it. Stacie pulled back so their lips were barely touching.

"As much as I'd like to continue this," Stacie whispered against Aubrey's lips. "I smell bacon and I've worked up quite an appetite. Let's go eat."

Stacie reconnected their lips before Aubrey could say anything.

"Mmm," Aubrey whimpered, pulling back from the kiss. "Let's go see what's for breakfast."

Stacie sighed and took Aubrey's hand, leading her out of their room and downstairs. The couple walked into the kitchen to find Jessica and Ashley kissing.

Aubrey cleared her throat, causing the two to jump apart.

"Um, sorry," Ashley said. "We were just making breakfast."

"Yeah," Jessica said, blushing. "Breakfast. We were making breakfast."

"If that's what you're calling it," Stacie said with a smirk. "Then Brey and I made breakfast last night."

Jessica and Ashley's jaws dropped; Aubrey blushed; and Stacie looked very pleased with herself.

"You two?" Ashley asked, pointing between Stacie and Aubrey.

"Yep!" Stacie answered. "How long have you two been, um, making breakfast?"

"Since a month after we started rooming together in the Bellas house," Jessica said. "We both liked each other and, finally, one drunken night we confessed our feelings."

"Maybe we should get Beca drunk," Stacie said, looking at Aubrey. "And get her to confess to Chloe."

"Those two are so oblivious," Ashley said. "It may take more than getting Beca drunk."

"I have an idea," Aubrey said. "It's the perfect plan. By the time Christmas is over, those two will have what we all have."

"We're listening," Jessica and Ashley said and then giggled.

"Okay," Aubrey said, leaning in conspiratorially. "Here's what we're going to do."

Just then, CR and Denise entered the kitchen.

"We smelled something burning," CR said, causing the four girls to jump back.

"Oh, crap," Jessica said, grabbing the potholders. "The bacon."

She pulled two pans out of the oven and dropped them on top of the stove.

"It doesn't look too bad," Ashley said, looking over the pan of dark bacon.

"It's ruined," Jessica said, huffing out a breath.

"It's fine," Denise said. "I like it dark."

"When it comes to bacon," Stacie said. "Crispy is always better."

"They're right," Aubrey chimed in. "What else are you making?"

"We were planning on just bacon and scrambled eggs," Jessica said.

"And, toast," Ashley said. "Aubrey, where's your toaster?"

Aubrey didn't respond verbally, she walked over to the pantry and brought out a toaster.

"Here you go."

"Thanks!" Ashley said and set the toaster up.

CR handed Ashley a loaf of bread as Denise got butter from the refrigerator.

"Who wants coffee?" Stacie asked, holding up the coffee pot.

"I do," rang out from the five Bellas.

~~ Day 2 of the 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases - 2020 ~~

"Chloe?" Beca mumbled as she woke with Chloe wrapped around her. "What are you doing?"

"I got cold," Chloe said.

"And you couldn't find the blanket that was at the foot of your bed?"

"Didn't even try," Chloe said, giving Beca a wink. "This was way warmer and more fun for me."

"You're ridiculous."

"You loved it," Chloe said. "You even sighed when I started spooning you."

"I did not!" Beca whispered-shouted as she sat up to look down at Chloe. She glanced up and shouted, "Oh, my God!"

"What?" Chloe asked, concerned.

"Look," Beca said, climbing over Chloe to get out of the bed.

Beca hurried over to the window and stood looking out at the snow. "There must be a good eight to ten inches of snow out there, and it's still coming down."

Chloe squealed as she stood next to Beca, and looked out the window at the snow.

"We have to get dressed so we can go out and build a snowman," Chloe said, pulling Beca back toward the bed.

"Why?" Beca whined.

"Because it snowed," Chloe said. "It's like a law or something."

"There's a law that says you have to build a snowman when it snows?"

"I'm sure there is a law about it somewhere."

"God, you're adorable," Beca said, and blushed as she added, "I can't believe I just said that out loud."

"Thanks!" Chloe said, smiling at Beca as she kissed her on the cheek.

"I smell burned bacon," Beca blurted out. "Let's go eat before we go outside."

Chloe laughed as her stomach made a growling sound. "I'm in."

The two left their room and could hear laughing and talking as they made their way to the kitchen.

"Coffee, please?" Beca said as soon as she stepped into the kitchen.

Stacie laughed and pointed over to the coffee pot. "I just made a fresh pot."

"Good morning, everyone," Chloe said, entering behind Beca. "How'd everyone sleep?"

The six girls said 'good morning' to Chloe as they sipped their coffees and looked at each other.

"We slept great!" Stacie said, smirking. "Making breakfast with Aubrey was a dream come true."

Aubrey blushed; Jessica nearly spits out her coffee; Ashley started laughing. CR and Denise looked confused.

"I thought Ashley and Jessica made breakfast," CR said.

"They did, too," Stacie said.

"What?" Beca asked, confused. "Wait, is that one of your euphemisms for sex? It's too early to hear about your sexploits, Stacie. I haven't even had my coffee for God's sake."

"It's not too early for me," Chloe said, winking at Stacie. "Spill!"

"Chloe!" Aubrey yelled, turning to glare at Stacie, she added, "Don't you dare!"

"Oh, my God," Beca said, laughing. "You two DID hook up last night. I guess hearing Denise and CR going at it, got you motor running, huh?"

"What?!" CR asked.

"Um, sorry," Beca said, flustered. "We, uh, heard you yell, and, um, got up to check to, uh, see if you were okay."

"And, then we heard moaning coming from your room," Stacie added. "Kudos to you both by the way."

"CR confessed she liked me and asked me out," Denise said. "I kissed her and one thing led to another and we, uh, made breakfast." She smiled and added, "Several times."

Stacie whooped and high-fived Denise. CR smiled and kissed Denise. "I guess the cat's out of the bag."

"Don't you mean the pu-"

"Do not finish that sentence!" Aubrey said, covering Stacie's mouth. "Okay, so a few of us hooked up last night. Is anyone really surprised?"

"I am," Beca said. "I always thought Jessica and Ashley were a thing. You and Stacie, and CR and Denise are more of a surprise. I did not see that coming."

"Chloe?" Stacie said, causing Chloe to look at her. "Got anything to confess?"

Chloe blushed and shook her head as she whispered, "No."

"What would she be confessing?" Beca asked. Her eyes went wide. "You think that we? That Chloe and I? Why would you think that we would do that?"

Chloe turned and ran out of the kitchen. It was a few seconds later when they heard a bedroom door slam.

Everyone turned to look at Beca. "What?"

"Way to go, Mitchell," Aubrey said, glaring at Beca. "I'm going to check on Chloe." She moved to follow after Chloe, stopping in front of Beca. "You'd better be prepared to grovel and beg Chloe for her forgiveness when I bring her back down here."

"What do I have to apologize for?" Beca asked.

"Think about it," Aubrey snapped. "I'm sure even someone as emotionally stunted as you can figure it out."

Aubrey left the kitchen, leaving the other girls staring at Beca, shaking their heads.

~~ Day 2 of the 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases - 2020 ~~

The girls sat down to eat, saving a plate for Aubrey and Chloe. The two best friends were still upstairs forty-five minutes later when the others finished eating and cleaning the kitchen.

"Should we go check on them?" Beca asked, looking toward the stairs.

"Are you ready to apologize to Chloe?" Stacie asked.

"Why?" Beca asked. "What do I have to apologize for because I haven't got a clue."

"You hurt Chloe's feelings, Beca," Jessica explained.

"I did?" Beca asked surprised. "How?"

"Think about what you said when we were talking about everyone making breakfast," Ashley said.

"Yeah, Beca," Denise said. "You acted like being with Chloe was the worst thing that could happen. We all thought you liked her."

"She's my best friend," Beca said. "Of course, I like her."

"That's not what she means," Stacie said. "And you know it."

Beca let out a heavy sigh as she ran a hand through her hair. "Do you think Chloe wanted to, you know, make breakfast. . .with me?"

"YES!" All the girls shouted.

"Beca," Stacie said. "We've all seen the way you two look at each other."

"I don't look at Chloe in any particular way," Beca said quietly.

"Yes, you do," Stacie said. "And Chloe's seen you looking at her. You may be oblivious to Chloe looking at you, but you aren't very discreet in the way you look at her."

"How do I tell her?" Beca asked. "I don't want to chase her away. I like having her around."

"Just tell her, Beca," Denise said. "That's what CR did and look at us now. We're going to start dating."

"But, you two already, um, made breakfast together," Beca said. "I don't know if I can do that without dating Chloe first."

"Then date her first," Ashley said. "Making breakfast will come in your own time."

"Can we please stop calling it making breakfast?" Beca asked, causing the girls to laugh.

~~ Day 2 of the 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases - 2020 ~~

It took quite a while before Chloe and Aubrey came downstairs, dressed to go outside.

"Where are you two going?" Denise asked.

"We're going to build a snowman before we start making dinner," Aubrey replied. "Anyone care to join us?"

The girls all agreed and ran upstairs to change. Everyone except for Beca was back downstairs about twenty minutes later.

"Where's Beca?" CR asked.

"I'll get her," Stacie said and ran back upstairs.

Stacie barged into Beca's room without knocking. Beca jumped and looked at Stacie in the doorway.

"Let's go, Beca," Stacie said. "Everyone's waiting for you."

"I'm not going," Beca said.

"Come on, Beca," Stacie implored. "It won't be the same without all of us out there."

"Could you ask Chloe to come up here?" Beca asked. "I'd like to talk to her so I can apologize for earlier."

"I'll send her up," Stacie said with a smile. "Good luck."

"Thanks," Beca said, smiling back at Stacie.

Chloe appeared in the doorway about ten minutes later.

"You wanted to talk to me?"

"Yes, please come sit over here," Beca said, patting the space next to her on the bed.

Chloe took off her coat and gloves and sat down next to Beca.

"So?"

"So, um, I wanted to apologize for how I reacted earlier," Beca said.

"And?"

"And, I hope you can forgive me?"

"What would be so wrong about you and me being together?" Chloe asked.

"Oh, you're going for the tough questions first," Beca said, wiping her hands up and down her thighs. "Um, okay."

"Well?"

"Um, nothing?" Beca said. Hearing Chloe scoff, Beca turned to face her, taking both of Chloe's hands in hers.

"Look," Beca said, staring into Chloe's eyes. "I know you want to know how I feel, but I'm not good with sharing my emotions, so bear with me, please?"

"Okay," Chloe said.

Beca nodded her head and cleared her throat. "I let you hug me and that's something I don't let just anybody do. I always bring an extra water bottle to practice because you forget yours. . . a lot. I watch movies with you even though we both know I don't really like them."

"What are you trying to say?" Chloe asked.

"I'm trying to tell you that I, um-" Beca said and stopped for a moment before continuing. "Let me try this. Some people can have feelings for someone, but never say it; some people can say it but don't feel it. Do you know what I mean?"

Chloe nodded her head. "I think I know what you're trying to say. But I want you to say it and mean it before you actually say it, okay?"

Beca opened her mouth but nothing came out. She tried again with the same result.

"Dammit," Beca muttered, dropping Chloe's hands. "I'm making this worse aren't I?"

"Take a breath, Becs," Chloe said, taking Beca's hands in hers. "And come find me when you're ready. I won't be hard to find. There's like a foot of snow outside."

"Okay," Beca said. She scrunched her face and looked at Chloe. "Are you mad?"

"No," Chloe said and sighed. "Let's go build a snowman. Then we can help with Christmas Eve dinner."

"Okay," Beca said.

~~ Day 2 of the 25 Days of BeChloe Christmases - 2020 ~~

The next morning, Beca woke and looked over at the other bed expecting to see Chloe; she wasn't there. Beca sat up and looked around.

"I wonder where she is?" Beca mumbled as she got out of bed. It was Christmas morning and by now she usually has Chloe hopping up and down on the bed waking her up.

Beca huffed and left the bedroom. She could hear the others downstairs so she made her way down. When she reached the bottom of the stairs she saw Denise sitting on CR's lap in the chair with their backs to Beca; Aubrey and Stacie were huddled together on one end of the sofa; Jessica and Ashley were sitting together on the floor in front of the fire. They were all sipping from cups; it was either coffee or, knowing Chloe, hot cocoa. She looked around the living room but didn't see Chloe anywhere.

"It's about time you woke up, Beca," Chloe's voice came from the kitchen door, causing Beca to jump. "We've been waiting for you so we could open presents."

"Why didn't you wake me like you usually do?"

"I heard you tossing and turning all night," Chloe said. "So, I thought I'd let you sleep in a bit. And, btw, me keeping everyone from bothering you is one of your presents. Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas, Beca!" the other Bellas shouted out.

"Um, thanks," Beca said. "Merry Christmas."

She followed Chloe over to the sofa and sat next to her.

"Sorry, everyone," Beca said. "You could have started without me."

"We wanted to," Stacie said. "Chloe wouldn't let us."

"Thanks, Chlo," Beca said, smiling at Chloe.

"Let's get to the presents," Aubrey said. "My breakfast casserole should be ready in about forty-five minutes."

"Okay," Stacie said, sitting up. "Who's first?"

"Um, if you don't mind can I give Chloe one of my gifts first?" Beca asked. "I don't want to wait any longer to give it to her. She's waited long enough for it."

The girls looked at each other. Chloe looked at Beca with raised eyebrows.

"Go ahead, Beca," Stacie said, sitting back to cuddle Aubrey.

"Okay," Beca said, clearing her throat. "Chloe, I love you!"

The girls and Chloe gasp; shocked that Beca would just blurt it out like that.

"I love you and I have for a while now," Beca continued. "I want you to know I'm not just saying it, I mean it, too!"

A big smile came to Chloe's face as she jumped up and crashed her lips against Beca's. The girls started cheering and clapping.

"I love you, too, Beca," Chloe said as the cheering died down. "Merry Christmas to me!"

"Merry Christmas to us," Beca said, leaning in for another kiss.

Full prompt from FanFiction User electroniszappa: Hey, I don't know if you're planning to do a 25 Days of BeChloe Christmas or anything like it this year, if you are, while it's on my mind, want to send in the prompt that crossed my mind. It's nothing too complex, was thinking during their first year, the Bellas get snowed in at Aubrey's Family's cabin over the holiday break, and it serves to get the couples (BeChloe, Staubrey, Jessica/Ashley, and CR/Denise) together in time for Christmas.

Jimmy C

Notice: Original post was removed and original poster unknown. The story was reuploaded here. Original story was posted on a r/AskReddit comment thread about unexplained experiences.

STORY (true): This has haunted me for a long time. I was about 19 or 20 at the time and I was living in Savannah, GA. I drank a lot (had a crappy fake ID), I worked this terrible job as a grunt laborer. The kind where you go to those temp labor agencies like AbleBody and LaborFinders. I'd show up at 4AM, work until 5PM, and drink myself to sleep after only taking home maybe $60 for the day.

I was supposed to go into work this particular morning, but I decided to skip (it's a labor agency, they'll just find somebody else).

I call the girlfriend and tell her I want to go to the beach (Tybee). I had already started drinking.

She comes over, we hop in my big, ugly van, pack up some rods, and head to the beach.

I decided to have a drink across from the beach at this little bar.

This is where the story gets interesting.

Shortly after ordering my drink, I get this really weird feeling. I became hyper aware of my surroundings.

The door opens, and I see this guy walk in out of my peripheral vision.

There was a seat between me and my girlfriend - but the bar was empty at like 9AM and he could have sat ANYWHERE ELSE - yet he chooses to sit right between her and I.

Then, he starts doing this thing with his fingers. The bar top was reflective. And he takes his fingers like two little legs, and starts just...walking with them "skating" with them on the top of the counter.

This isn't something out of the ordinary, but I took notice because when I was in school, I did that all the time. I pretended I had roller blades on my fingers and that I was skating around my desk. I hated school and was always distracting myself. So I became kind of mesmerize for some reason.

That's when he looks at me, and in this really think kind of...Germanic or "Nordic" accent he says, "I notice you're a man who pays attention to detail. I'm also a man who pays attention to detail."

Now, before I continue - I have to describe this guy. He had this short, spiky hair that was bleached at the tips, kind of like a late 90s style.

He had REALLY expensive clothes on. Like, a nice Prada leather jacket, nice designer jeans, really nice boots. He seemed like a kind of gay guy with awesome fashion sense and really distinctive taste.

I always remember this, because I think to myself, "Some weird homeless crazy guy COULDN'T have afforded those clothes."

Anyway, the other thing that stuck out was his eyes -- they were piercing gray. It reminded me of like a Husky's eyes, but his pupils just stayed this disturbing pin-point size. They were just extremely small, which caused his look to be kind of terrifying.

His teeth were normal, right? But not at the same time. I don't know how to explain it, they were sharper than they should be... as if they were filed slightly

His hands were normal, but his fingernails were slightly long and pointed, as if he deliberately did it.

He kept licking his teeth, too, as if he were salivating.

The thing about this guy is that, you look at him, and EVERYTHING seems normal, but off at the same time, so you're questioning if YOU'RE crazy for thinking this.

This guy, then begins to start talking about the relationship between me and my girlfriend, but really strangely. He's talking about how beautiful she is and how I should pay more attention to her (I was kind of a dick to her).

Shortly after he began talking like this, I had this almost "knowing" feeling come over me. Like... I knew this guy was not a human.

I look at my girlfriend and say, "You need to leave."

She just kind of looks at me like she "knows" too - without a word of protest, she gets up quietly and leaves. Later I learned that she went next door to get a coffee.

That's when this guy, literally says to me with the utmost confidene - "You were supposed to go fishing today."

He points at the beach across the street.

"If you had, I would have drowned you in that ocean" and I shit you not he fucking HISSED.

Again, for some reason this overwhelming calm had come over me.

I just ask, "Who are you?"

He answers back with this crazy gutteral language - like "ack back" but it was really long. It sounded Arabic or Hebrew or something?

I just - for some reason without skipping a beat, and I have no idea why I was so calm to this day - ask, "say it in a way that I can understand."

He says, "You can call me Jimmy C. I jumped off the San Francisco bridge years ago. And we've been watching you."

From there on out he never referred to himself as "me" or "I" but only "we".

The conversation became something very strange after this. He was saying things like, "We see you taking a bath - we wish we too could feel the warmth of the water and the comfort of the steam" and other stuff.

He kept buying me drinks too - specifically whiskey sours. it was like he had an endless supply of money. He smoked Marlboro Ultra Light cigarettes.

After I don't know how long - because I lost sense of time kind of - I told him I'm going to leave. I walk next door, I get my girlfriend and she's stone silent.

We start driving home - don't say a word. Then I just ask, "Do you know what that was?" and she just says "That was a demon". This girl had parents that were scientists, she was really analytical, completely non-religious, and that was the first thing she said out of her mouth.

Now, I didn't say this part before, because - to me - this is the most important aspect of the story, so I'll say it now. Because it's what happened AFTER this that screwed me up for fucking years.

The last thing this Jimmy C. guy said to me before I left, is this.

"Look at my car"

I look outside, I see one of those newer Volkswagon Beetles. It was white.

"What does the license plate say?"

I look at the plate and it literally says, "Fierce".

He looks me dead in the eyes and says, "The next time you see me, I'll be driving a black Mercedes and the license plate will say Utopia".

Stupid, right?

That night I was still calm. I don't know why. I felt like that guy on Office Space after his hypnotherapist died right in front of him and he was weirdly zen.

But, my girlfriend started having terrible nightmares of this guy's head just staring at her in her dreams.

Weeks went by, and that's when the encounter started affecting me.

I found myself becoming paranoid about that black fucking Mercedes!

Every black car I saw, I checked if it was a Mercedes, if it was, I immediately looked at the license plate. I started doing it when I watched TV or movies as well. I couldn't stop.

Now, I'm going to fast forward a bit. About 10 years go by... I'm 29 (so this is just recently) and, in silence, when I'm alone, when I'm drinking, I often think about this encounter. I still look at black Mercedes every time they pass, but I'm not so much anxious about it anymore, as curious.

And, I remember that my girlfriend at the time always kept a journal. By now I'm pretty sure that I'm insane, maybe I was drunk, maybe I'm not remembering any of this correctly.

After years of trying to find news articles of a "Jimmy C." that committed suicide of the San Francisco bridge, looking at black cars, and so on, I feel like I'd "grown out of it."

Yet, still, I had to know. So, last year I track down my ex girlfriend. We ended on bad terms. I find out she's a school teacher in Wisconsin, has married a woman, and is actually trying to have a child.

I figure she's not going to talk to me, but I send her an FB message anyway. I ask her if she can find the journal from that day, because I have to know if her events line up with mine.

Sure enough - she had it. And it contained even more detail than what I remembered, because she had literally written it at the coffee shop next door RIGHT after it happened.

Here's what she sent me:

Notes on what happened at Tybee Island, GA on the first Tuesday in December 2005: Drove there during the day and the sunshine was getting me down - kept thinking about how earlier I had gone to [The_Restlessartist's] house after waking up there - and he woke up early, took a shower, came back and woke me up, acted very sweet. Then I went home, took a shower, came back to go with him to Tybee, and he'd gotten drunk already and was teasing me, being sort of an ass. I even threatened to go home once, but I stayed, feeling that I really should go to Tybee with him. But I was excited to show Tybee to Will during the day since I knew it well and he'd never seen it. He talked about how it all reminded him of his childhood as we drove through the salt marshes and over bridges - the sun, the palm trees. I'd grown up in fog. Got to Tybee and he wanted to get a couple of beers even though we had rum in the trunk. Well really the back of the van. The first bar we went to carded [The_Restlessartists] , and so we left, remarking that everyone in the place had given us strange looks as soon as we walked in. Went over to Fannie's a couple of doors down, all in the area of the beach by the pier. I decided I didn't want beer after all and told the woman I'd just like a glass of water. [The_Restlessartists] had a PBR. Only cost a dollar. Noticed the VW Beetle (white) parked outside when I came in, but did not see Jimmy enter.

[The-Restlessartist] pointed out a man sitting one stool down from me drumming his fingers strangely on the stainless steel bar, more like dancing with his nails, stretching his long fingers. Thought immediately that he was gay. [The-Restlessartist] and I watched and talked in whispers about it for a few minutes before he - the stranger - spoke. He first talked about how I had noticed him dancing with his nails (the words he used) then lookd at his nails, surprised, and said they look like shit. I laughed, getting a weird feeling about the guy. He then spoke about how it's important to notice details and he likes it when people pay attention - that he pays attention to everything - that he knows that I do too. His eyes are (some word I can't decipher), blue/grey, he has blonde hair and a narrow pointed nose above pale lips that cover crooked teeth, not very white, almost like fangs. His teeth are all I can look at until I look him in the eye, something I normally won't do until I know a person at least a little, and he seems to evade me.

He asks if I love [the_restlessartist] (doesn't use his name or mine). Without hesitation, I nod and say yes. He asks [the_restlessartist], "do you love her?" And he looks uncomfortable, laughs a little bit, says, "Yeah, I guess so." then the guy says that I am beautiful, that if [the_restlessartist] won't love me, unconditionally, as I do him, someone else will. He touches my hair and says that I am a creature of God. He then tells us that he walked three miles up and down the beach and it sucked... said some things about "God's green earth" ... told a story about a scorpion that asked a frog for a ride across a river... who then stung the frog, told the frog it was in his nature, and then they both enjoyed their last minutes of life because they both would then die. He told [the_restlessartist] he knew him and kept trying to get to him through me. He'd say "I'm not hitting on you girl," but continually told me I was beautiful. He tried to piss [the_restlessartist] off - kept saying that he knew him, said he is in his room at night, he's what crawls on [the_restlessartist's] back. Told [the_restlessartist] his glasses (the aviator sunglasses that I gave him) were cheap - that my glasses were perfect because I see through them rather than hide behind them. Then he said that I was perfection, that I was "one step away from becoming myself."

Earlier he talked about fashion - thought my glasses might be Armani, said Prada was his favorite person, when I noticed that his orange leather jacket had a red rectangle of fabric on the left breast that said PRADA.

He said to [the_restlessartist] that he knew who he was, to which [the_restlessartist] replied that he knew who HE was. The stranger left to go to his car to get money for more drinks - he'd offered to buy us all a shot of tequila and already bought [the_restlessartist] a beer. As he walked out he pointed to the license plate. His car was the white Beetle outside. The license plate read "FEIRCE." While he was gone, [the_restlessartist] asked me if I knew who the man was. I nodded, saying I had an idea. "Yeah, but you think you're crazy every time you think it, don't you." I was thinking the man was the devil or something close.

[then I wrote that I missed some things - here they are:] When asked where he was from, he didn't asnwer. We thought he could've been from Tybee, but he said he didn't live there. Asked him where he lived and he just started talking about his other car, a mercedez Benz with a plate that said "Utopia." Asked if he live din his car, he said no, "Utopia's doors are closed to me."

[the_restlessartist] asked him where he learned all he was talking about (he'd said he could speak 5 languages, English being the most important because it is "trained" and often spoke a few sentences in a language I could not recognize. And he said he had lived in San Francisco, where he jumped off a bridge and died.

This is the point where I told her to leave. That's when he said he would have drowned me in the ocean, started referring to himself as "we" and finally told me that the next time I would see him it would be in that black Mercedes.

When I read what she had written - literally THAT day - I knew that I wasn't imagining the details wrong. That this ACTUALLY happened.

This is probably the single most frustrating and scary thing that has ever happened to me. i want to imagine it's just a normal crazy guy, but unless you SAW it and FELT it and heard him talk about all the little details of what you were supposed to do that day when only you knew it, you just can't understand the impact of it.

It's been 10 years, and my only solace really is that my ex-girlfriend was there to corroborate. That communication - where I reached out to her - actually caused us to be on good terms again after a decade.

It seems to have been something that bothered her just as much as it bothered me. And still, to this day - even though I'm living 10,000 miles away in Southeast Asia. I can't stop looking for that car. I can't stop thinking about Jimmy C's twisted face.

I wonder if he's still "crawls" on my back, and if the fear I feel at night - often to where I must drink myself to sleep or find a one-night-stand just so I don't feel alone - is him, or "them", watching me.

Not mine just thought it was neat!

37, 40, 45, 46, 48 and of course 49!

37. most expensive thing you’ve ever bought? Eh...I'm kinda a cheapskate lmao. The only things I ever really buy myself are books, stickers, and hoodies. Anything expensive goes on the Christmas list (and here we see Jamie's inner Slytherin!)

40. have any siblings? are you close to them? Yep, a 10 year old little sister! We're pretty close, I think. I mean, we have our disagreements, but overall we get along pretty well.

45. one place you’d love to visit? London and/or Ukraine!

46. what’s on your bucket list? I...never really thought about that! The closest I really have is my growing to be read list (currently ~400 books), and my list of places I need to get to eventually (NYC, Savannah GA, DC, Paris, and a few others).

48. one piece of advice you live by? "Follow your bliss!" For most of the past few school years, I was very much a follower. I rarely talked about my interests and even joined the basketball team (despite hating physical contact in sports) because all my friends did. After starting home school, though, the only friend who bothered to keep and touch and answer my emails was girl I was never actually close to! As it turns out, we have a little of similar interests, so we give each other book recs a lot! So yeah. Friends come and go, so do what makes you happy, not what teenage girls think is cool. (No shade to teenage girls, y'all are awesome and I stan. Only shade to my Catholic school class)

49. how tall are you? Oh god not this /j 5'4" aka, taller than most of the amrev fandom, including babey Kit

3/3
