Croissant again.

While I was *studying* for Beige's exam Wednesday in Borders, Croissant came up behind me and tapped me on the shoulder. She was much thinner. She is not dating Jimmy Crackpipe anymore,; she threw him out. In addition to the aforementioned ghoulishness he:

1. Cheated on her with ten different women at the Oregon.
2. Had priors for rape and burglary in addition to the crackpipe charge.
3. Was stashing cocaine in her appartment the entire time he was there.
4. Yelled at her, and hit her.

The only thing that suprised me was the other priors, but it fits my picture of him. Crackpipe is now working at another restaurant. She's now dating an older man, who is a PI who happens to be teaching her to become one. He also kept warning her off Crackpipe. He also happens to have an ex who keeps calling him up, and stole money from him. I told her that if PI doesn't work out, he could totally stalk her to the ends of the earth. I'm convinced, because it is Croissant, that the ex really is from Fatal Attraction. I am also convinced that no amount of PI training is going to stop people from targeting her -- she wants male approval too much, and that blinds her to neon flashing signs. She is extremely lucky that she isn't pregnant, diseased, or cooling her heels for possession of cocaine.

She elided the question of how much time elapsed between dumping Crackpipe and dating PI. PI is nice because he helps her out with money, is solvent, and doesn't watch her every second of the day. It's really really sad.

She said her mother is trying to get her committed because she is off of her meds. She complained of mother's control..
