You're Like The Grand Canyon
Picking Daysi

I give this girl a place to stay when she was couch surfing, having to roam the streets till it was safe for her to sneak back into her (still in the closet) girlfriend’s house. I then offer her a place to stay for a reasonable price. We had a blast living together. She was fun and uplifting, and very optimistic. I really enjoyed her presence. Then 5 months later I have lease problems with one of the signers and the end result was having everyone move out of the apartment, including myself. The last month’s rent was given to me in a check form, and it bounced because she used a check from a closed account. She promises to give it to me in cash by the end of the week… She doesn’t. She promised to pay me by the end of July… She doesn’t. She gathers all of her valuables and leaves everything else behind in a roach infested mess. She says she’ll come back in the beginning of August to clean out her room and pay me the $500 she owed me…

She doesn’t.

I text her girlfriend an a friend of hers to tell her to stop avoiding me. She finally calls me! She explains to me that she is in a really bad state financially and that she really doesn’t have enough money to give it to me right away, and that she is going through some family issues. I sympathize for her and tell her it’s okay, that she could pay me half of what she owes me the next time she gets paid. She agrees in delight! The next week passes by without a word from her, I hit her up and ask her when would she like to meet up? She replied with Monday at 4:30pm Union Sq.

The weekend passes and it’s Monday! Around 3pm she tells me to bump up the meeting time to 6:00pm because she is training someone. I tell her that is fine eventhough I had plans at 5:15pm with an old friend to have cheesecake at max Brenner’s. I meet up with my friend and tell him if we could wait till my ex-roommate came before we head in to the restaurant to enjoy our desserts.

The rest of this will be in text message form with the actual texts!

[End of text messages]

I haven’t heard from her since. I can’t tell you if she was lying, but her texts sure can. How do you end up in a taxi on 29th st and then get off on 13th st and University, knowing you have to be at Best Buy on 14th St and Broadway?

Then I get a call from my sister the next day saying Daysi/Kenji was arrested in the train station for possession of Marijuana…(?!?!?!?!??!?) How you end up in a taxi to 13th street and University, an entirety of 1 street and 1 avenue away, to a subway?! It was her birthday on the 10th of August, and now she’s in some Inn in Delaware with her girlfriend.

I think we know the truth. She’s a lying cunt.
