Unlikely relic from my past

[beats me]

My parents are selling the house I was raised in so I had to go into their attic and bring down 30+ years of boxed memories which I planned to ...fuck, why do any of us save all this crap? So I was digging through boxes of my exes and while I still haven't found those questionable pictures (damnit), I did come across this artifact from my past that somehow defied the laws of time and motion.

About 6 years ago I was living with my cousin and we had a house party. Things were grinding to a halt around 3:30 AM when these random chicks just showed up. By that time I was quite high and drunk enough to the point where I really didn't give a shit about anything. So I was sitting in the backyard smoking by one of the randoms and the following exchange took place.

Me: So do you have a job?
Her: Yeah, why?
Me: Just asking. Can I get your number?
Her: Sure.
Me: OK, I'll be right back.

I went in to get a pen and paper for her to write her number down, but before I could find that I noticed the Etch-a-sketch on the floor and since I was in "eh, fuck it" mode I returned to the backyard and handed her that to give me her number on.

To my amazement not only did she pull it off without hesitation but her phone number is still on that Etch-a-sketch 6 years later after being moved many times.





It's really no mystery how she had no problem pulling this off since I later found out she's a tweaker and they feverishly welcome these type challenges, but how the Etch-a-sketch defied it's own mechanics for years is simply stunning.

lol etch a sketch...was fun for awhile then i got bored with it. Pretty cool that that chicks number is still on that thing tho.

If that's still her number she's about to get a LOT of calls.

[beats me]

I doubt that's still her number but if it is have at it. In keeping with the moral code of tweakers after 2 years of seeing each other she suddenly dropped off the planet without even so much as a good bye. So fuck her.

'What's the difference between a crackhead and a tweaker?
The crackhead will steal your shit and bounce--the tweaker will steal your shit and then help you look for it.'

Okay I'll stop flooding your thread now

Between that and insisting she give me her number on an Etch-a-sketch if she's really that interested was a win that night, but the resulting next two years was a never ending string of losses. So I won the battle but lost the war. Big time.

Yes, meth was her drug of choice.

Among the evidence stacked against her was:

Frequently eating cake frosting straight out of the canister.

Chronically showing up 2 to 4 hours late and then trying to flip the script like I'm the asshole for getting mad about it.

Randomly showing up at midnight or later on a work night.

Sending novel length text messages but rarely answering the phone even when she just sent a text.

Talking my ear off on the cell to the point of her battery dying before I could get to the point of the phone call.

Couch surfing at friends instead of getting her own place or a room with roommates.

Her and her other tweaker friends taking 6 months to paint the outside of a house…and they painted 4-5 days a week.

Spending a lot of free time with coloring books.

Having an abnormal amount of gay male friends in their early to mid 20's and she was 34.

Sleeping for 3 days straight.

God, I miss her.
