*awkward turtle*

Hypothetically speaking: when your brother-in-law ends a phone conversation with "I love you, goodbye," how should you take it? Normal brothers-in-law do that, right? It's not just a thing that an ex-boyfriend/now brother-in-law would do?

Also, again, hypothetically speaking, should you get suspicious of any unnecessary attention paid to you by said brother-in-law with whom you have an unfortunate past? AND, should you feel weirded out that he tends to disappear from inside the house right around the time you go to your bedroom and close the door, but you can hear him walking around outside, close to your window?

Am I just paranoid?!


Okay, so I probably should have brought up the contents of the second paragraph over Christmas break--and again over spring break--but I didn't want to read into anything and just wrote it off as "the guy of the house" checking around outside to make sure that the females inside would be safe. But in light of recent creepy-esque events--see paragraph 1--I'm going back to the idea of "is my brother-in-law a voyeur?" Sick...but I wouldn't put it past him.

A friend of mine here at school knows him as well, and knows him to be the manipulative, self-seeking, arrogant shmuck that he is, which is funny because I'd almost forgotten that he was passing himself off as a cancer victim for awhile. (Tell me again, why the heck did I date the jerk?! Was I THAT desparate?! I would like to write it off as naivete...and at least I got out of it when I realized how much of a flake he was. [unlike my sister who eloped with him a few months later, but I'm NOT going in to that now])

So yeah, I'm officially weirded out by my brother-in-law, the pathological liar. I am just glad that he lives in California now, and I only see him when I'm down there.


Other awkwardness: I think I have an "admirer" on campus. (Again, could be paranoid suspicion.) I hope that I'm wrong, because the last thing I want to deal with this semester is a guy crushing on me. Actually, I might have two...but hopefully I'm mistaken there as well. (God, please let it not be so!)


Any insight? PLEASE comment!
