It just gets weirder and weirder..

8.30 am. I was in the car going to drop off Jared at school. My cellphone rang. I didn't recognize the number. It rang insistently, so I picked up. Here's the conversations that follows: (it's all in Chinese of course)

guy: XiaoLan?
me: no. You got the wrong number.

I hang up. 2 seconds later, the phone rang again. Same number. This goes on 3, 4 times, until I finally ran out of patience.

guy: XiaoLan?
me: How many times do I have to tell you that I'm not! I don't know who you are, but don't call this number again.
guy: But you are lying.
me: why would I lie to you? I'm going to call the police if you keep harrassing me.

I hung up. The phone rang AGAIN. I hit the ignore button for the next 5 calls.

Woohoo, he stopped calling. Only 2 seconds later, I get a txt message that reads:

You can not avoid me. If we dont' resolve this, I'm going to keep calling you, XiaoLan.

Exasperated, I txt him back, in English (cuz I don't know how u txt in Chinese):
I don't know you. Go away.

I get a txt back from the guy in Chinese:
I don't read English. Can you type in Chinese?

I ignored this. He CALLS me back. I tell the guy in my utmost disgusted voice, and yes, in Chinese:
I'm not XiaoLan or DaLan. I just bought this number, I just came back from the U.S., I don't know who the person is, I don't know who you are. Don't call me again or I will call the police.

guy: what do you talk about calling the police for? Miss. Who are you? What's your name?

I hung up, AGAIN. Ignoring the next 2, 3 rings. Yet another txt msgs shows up:

Miss. maybe we know each other. Come on. Be reasonable.

I ignored the txt. YET ANOTHER txt shows up, 2 minutes later (wow, he waited 2 minutes! Maybe there's hope!), that reads:

I like Americans. Maybe we can be friends. I want to be your friend.

hahahahahaha. Here I thought he was some love sick little boy for this XiaoLan girl. So much for my sympathies for the male species of this planet!

And it's not even 9.00 am.

So there are psychos in China too. My bubble's burst, dammit.

You should text him saying how can you be friends if he can't even read English?
