Ewwwwww!<BR/><BR/>When I was at Snow College, some guy called our house one night around 10pm and asked specifically for me and wanted me to meet him on campus. Right then. At 10pm/ He kept saying "Oh.... no, you can just come down, it will be ok." He also said he was too shy to tell me his name. I told him I didn't feel comfortable meeting some dude I didn't know in the middle of the night alone on campus and he started freaking out and crying.

If they had followed me (the 20 minutes) home then I would have. Except I doubt they would have kept following after about 10 minutes. <BR/><BR/>Wendy!!! That's horrifying!! Oh how scary, I'm glad you finally went to the station. And very smart not to go home. Eeeehhhh.....<BR/><BR/>Chelsea - that's so weird! And scary. There are quite a few creepy guys here. I'm glad you were okay.<BR/><BR/>Aunt Susan - Thank you for your concern :)I live far enough out of town I doubt anyone would follow me out as far as I live. 20 minutes. And if they did I know my way around the country that I could just loop right back around and head into town. I was in a public place so I felt fine calling Jaren. I didn't want to call the police then find out those boys were just being stupid boys and then really had something to return at customer service. I'm just hoping I don't see them again (hah, not too likely in Rexburg). I'm sure they wont remember who I am.<BR/><BR/>Rychelle - come to find Albertsons is more expensive than other grocery stores? Even with the albertsons savings card? Hmm... gonna have to try shopping at the one other grocery store here. <BR/><BR/>Jillene - I'll feel safe whenever I'm around you!<BR/><BR/>Brittany - you are just a little pretty innocent looking girl. Not to mention you look like your my age :) So yeah, keep Sgt. Pepper at the ready! (Although, I hope you never have to use it)<BR/><BR/>Kristina - I was so excited! But a bit disappointed she didn't tell my whole story because it was a lot more funny than just "ride a float through the gateway" Did you read it?<BR/><BR/>Ramona - Creepy!! Bunnies?!?! Foo Foo?!!

I would have definitely called in the number and well....I am not sure what else I would have done.<BR/><BR/>Before I was married I was seriously stalked by an old English teacher (not my teacher) he would run past my work place, strecth in front of my window, come donate plasm when I was there (that is how he found me- DO NOT DONAT PLASMA! ONLY SCARY PEOPLE DO THAT) and he followed me around the gym. The worst part was once he brought rabbits to the gym and let them loose where I was doing sit ups. (you can not make this stuff up, people). I was so freaked out I hid in the locker room! <BR/><BR/>Being stalked is not as cool as you think it might be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11957223010844358916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613486379907269268.post-74746822530052674792008-09-24T12:53:00.000-06:002008-09-24T12:53:00.000-06:00Whitney, we are honorable mention sisters!

This is absolutely horrifying and I...Okay, Whitney. This is absolutely horrifying and I have to say that you need a little lecture. Growing up in Othello then moving to Rexburg may have created a sense a trust and "it can't happen to me" illusion. <BR/><BR/>#1 NEVER challenge or "stare down" people like that. That is often a challenge they take and you would lose.<BR/><BR/>#2. If they were stalking and going to hurt you, calling Jeran was worthless. CALL THE POLICE!!! I am serious. You are very foutunate that it turned out okay, but so very often it doesn't. OH, and next time don't drive to your house, go to someones elses, you don't want them to know where you live.<BR/><BR/>#3. Please be careful. There is a book out called the Gift of Fear. It's not talking about the silly groundless things we see in our minds, but the very real intuitions and warnings we receive that keep us from getting in trouble. The author has interviewed many people who have survived violence, and ALL of them had some warning that they ignored.<BR/><BR/>4.

I avoid it like the plague! I have a story, in college me and my room mate went to burger king at like 2 a.m. and there were two really nasty looking men inside, they watched us the entire time we ate, then they left 5 minutes before we did! we were like yeah!! so we go outside and get in our car and they were sitting in there car waiting for us? they followed us all around Logan for over a hour, we weren't about to go home, so we just kept driving and they just kept following us, they would pull up to us at red lights and say nasty creepy things, we wouldn't even look over at them. (these were the days before cell phones yeah I'm old!!) - anyways we finally were so freaked out we pulled up infront of the police station and they sped off.

A guy almost killed YOU then came over to give you a talking to? Your poor girls. Good thing those boys were listening in. I mean, realistically I was in a very crowded place (and so were you) but I was still horrified. If they had accosted me I wouldn't have known what to say. In fact, I think they did say something as I walked by on my phone but I didn't quite make out what it was. Although, I don't think it was very nice about me. I would have probably started to cry. I'm very emotional at the moment and I'm sure you can guess why :)<BR/><BR/>Mary - Okay. I mean, I do have enough potatoes to survive off of just a few yards away.

The next thing I know he is right there. He rolls down his window and starts saying REALLY REALLY bad nasty things to me in front of my girls. The girls were both scared and crying. <BR/><BR/>This really infuriated me so I told him that I hope that he felt like a "big man" talking like that in front of 2 small children. I told him that he didn't scare me and I dared him to get out of his car (mind you this guy was at least in his 40's or in his 50's). <BR/><BR/>I had my keys in my hand with the key to my SUV in between my first 2 fingers. I think that I really shocked him because he just drove off.<BR/><BR/>When his car was out of the way I noticed 2 young men walking towards me. They asked me if I was o.k. and they told me they were coming to kick his a%%. Good thing he drove off huh?!Jillenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701640875749819676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613486379907269268.post-49305640827186160502008-09-23T16:32:00.000-06:002008-09-23T16:32:00.000-06:00Scary, I would have gone to their boss and told my...Scary, I would have gone to their boss and told my little story about them.Goobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129986970059036859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613486379907269268.post-57828754919122195902008-09-23T15:54:00.000-06:002008-09-23T15:54:00.000-06:00Kristina - but that's where the cheap reliable hai...Kristina - but that's where the cheap reliable hair dryers are!<BR/><BR/>Brittany - Hmmm... maybe I'll try Brolums, the only other grocery store here.
