apricot’s closet: my new favorite pants.
Please vote for me. You will have to register on the website to vote, but it would mean so much to me if you did. :] & if you did happen to vote, please let me know so I can thank you personally.
Hanes t-shirt, drop crotch pants, fishnet stockings, all from Target; shoes, from Ross; long necklace is handmade; the other from World Market. (I am so in love with these pants.)
So… at 7:30 this morning, I was startled awake by the sound of my phone ringing in the other room. It rang three times in a row. Immediately I thought that something terrible had happened & one of my loved ones were trying to reach me. So I dragged myself out of bed, walked into the living room to find that my phone was ringing again (for the fourth time). I looked at the number, didn’t recognize it, but answered anyway.
Me: Hello?
Caller: (grunting)
Me: HELLO?!
Caller: Oh… uh, hello?
Me: Hello? Who is this?!
Caller: Oh hello! How are you?
Me: (trying to recognize the voice) Who is this?
Caller: … Someone who thinks you’re really sexy.
Me: (pauses, still trying to recognize the voice) Who is this?
Caller: This is Steve.
Me: Well, Steve, I think you have the wrong number.
Caller: I don’t think I do…
Me: Who IS this?!
Caller: Someone who think you’re really sexy!
Me: (pauses, getting really irritated) Look, you’ve got the wrong number, okay? Who are you trying to reach?
Caller: Wait… who is this?
Me: My name is Ev’Yan & you have the wrong number!
Caller: (moans a little) Oooh, your name. That is the sexiest name I’ve ever heard.
Me: … I’m hanging up now.
Caller: No no no… wait. You don’t have to hang up with me. You can talk to me if you want.
Me: Actually… you woke me up, so I’m in no mood to talk.
Caller: C’mon… talk to me. What are you doing? Don’t you want to talk to me?
Me: Oh, I would… but I don’t think my husband would like it very much.
Caller: (long pause) Oh… okay. Sorry.
Me: GOODBYE.
Funny how you drop the word “husband” & that’s when people get a grip.
I walked into the bedroom & by then, Lover was awake, inquiring with obscenities. I explained to him what happened & he was disturbed. & I was practically shouting: “Who calls someone at 7:30 in the morning over & over & over?! It was obvious that I wasn’t picking up the first time, so why continue calling?! What a psycho!”
Then, I get a voicemail notification. It was “Steve” again:
“Okay, wow. Your name… wow. It’s the sexiest name I’ve ever heard & your voice! Please… call me back. Please. If you want. We should talk. If you want. I hope you do. Okay bye.” (This was obviously before our little conversation.)
I let my imagination run away with me for a little while — I kept asking, “What if he’s stalking me?! What if he’s watching me?! What if he calls again??” — before finally getting up & turning on the television. I’m so mad that the creep woke me up.
But I think I put two & two together: I think this guy called the first time, got my voicemail message & got turned on by it, knowing that it was the wrong number. He left a message, hoping that I would call him back. When I didn’t, he kept calling me just to hear my voicemail message. & when I finally answered, he wasn’t expecting it, which interrupted his — how should I say this? — touching himself, thus the reason he was grunting when I answered the phone.
So now I’ve got the heebie-jeebies; I’m looking over my shoulder & out my window every few minutes. Because this has all the makings of a scary movie gone wrong…

Wow that is absolutely disgusting. But I’ve been there before so don’t stress about it. There are some really creepy people out there. If anything put your voicemail on the default
“You have reached the voice mail box of…………..is not available please leave your message after the tone”
Yea and the caller needs to get a life.

Oh my oh my ohhh myyyyy.
I’d be so grossed out and freaked out by that.
Ewww.
And what!? WHO DOES THAT!?

OH MY GOD!
That is really disgusting and disturbing. Who does that?
Get that number blocked immediately!
on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 at 6:30 pm:
okay what a weirdo. flattering but weird, haha.
on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 at 7:31 pm:
I feel for you but I still laughed at this: “which interrupted his — how should I say this? — touching himself, thus the reason he was grunting when I answered the phone.”
on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 at 8:59 pm:
wow. that is horrifying.
on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 at 10:09 pm:
Wow!! Seriously who does that? The most bizarre things happen to you sometimes. Haha!!
Dude!! This is the week of creepy stories… My friend had someone dressed in a hoody and surgical mask curled up and groaning on his porch with blood on her arms. Luckily they found out eventually it was just a prank, but 2 days later! Poor guy.
on Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008 at 11:14 pm:
That is absolutely bizarre. And terrifying. Actually, I think I would mostly be annoyed because 1) he’s taking an awful lot of liberties, and 2) 7:30 am is too damn early for that kind of call.
Those pants are awesome, by the way, you accessorized them perfectly.

Lovin the style girl!
Not sure how I ended up on your blog, but so far I love it! I always love an empowered woman who knows her way with fashion.
Next time, just put your lover on the phone, he’ll take care of it I’m sure. Plus, this gives him the power of your protector. How romantic.
Ciao!
