The Ellis story #ChangeTheChannel
I apologize in advance for the formatting and rambling, I'm just putting things down as I remember them.
So when I was at CA in the first year of it or so, I found myself regularly in a group call with Michaud, Bhargo, sometimes Ellis, Aussie, Rollo and myself. Usually some sort of mix and match of all of those. During But sometimes, calls would end up being just Rollo T myself and Ellis. We all had a pretty different sense of humor, and our personalities worked out and we'd sometimes just spend convos just laughing our asses off at whatever the hell we would talk about that night.
However, one night in particular after a call, Ellis kept messaging me afterwards on skype. This wasn't unusual, we'd usually just BS about stuff, however he was supposedly intoxicated. I say supposedly because that's the excuse I heard later, but he was typing very coherently, not one misspelled word during our conversation.
What started as a simple enough conversation quickly became a very... uncomfortable. He kept asking more personal and personal details, eventually going full in to "I heard from a little birdie that you were gay" "Oh I heard you were at least Bi" "Oh so you're just curious about guys then". Really, really pushing as if he was fishing for something, maybe he was desperate?
This conversation quickly turned very one sided and even more uncomfortable as he would went on telling me all the things he wanted to do to me, the things he wanted me to do to him, Just give him a shot, he said.
This went on for 2 hours. For these 2 hours, I typed not one word to him, but he had this entire conversation with himself, and multiple times tried the whole "Sorry i didn't mean to scare you off" tactic on me, as if it was going to make things better.
I showed this conversation log to two people. I believe I showed part of it to Rollo T, because I was freaked the fuck out and he was the guy I trusted the most, and I remember him being completely blown away. The other person I showed, was Michaud.
I messaged Michaud, telling him "Look what this guy is doing, I'm super freaked out" and keep in mind I believe this was just before the anniversary brawl. The only thing I ever heard from Michaud was "Damn it, I told him he couldn't be doing this shit. I'll take care of it." And then it was never spoken of again. I never heard from Ellis again and I have 0 idea if that was part of the reason he was fired from the company or not.
Weirdly enough, the "Seinfeld" hatred that I sometimes joke about actually has to do with this story. two of the things Ellis said to me during that have stuck in my head, because of how pathetic and how fucking weird it was.
1) He kept calling me his sexual cupcake. What the fuck is that?
2) After those hours of him talking to himself, he finally gave up talking to me. But he did make one last ditch effort to hit on me. And it by far, was the worst pick up line I've ever been given.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"Hey."
"Hey."
"Hey Sean."
"Hey Cupcake."
"Do you like Seinfeld?"
No. No I do not.
