the scare of a life time

I just got a phone call from one of my friends at mcnick...in a real shaky voice he asked me for another person's number and i didn't have it. i asked him what was goin on. he told me that his (the guy's number i was lookin for) girlfriend was talkin to him online and he seemed very depressed. according to her he said some crazy things and he talked of killin himself...well while he was upset he signed off and shortly later she got a call from someone she had no clue who it was said that he had killed himself.. she assumed it was his dad or brother so she starts freaking out (as anyone would) she didn't want to believe it so she talks to my friend kody who then calls me for the number and here we are. i'm searching frantically for any number i had and i didn't have it. i was messaging him on myspace and everything...he wouldn't respond. i then called one of our friends who had his number and we finally got ahold of him. it turns out someone signed on in his name said all those things and gave the phone call...it wasn't him......he was watchin tv the whole time......it makes me wonder....what type of sick individual would do something like that..? I mean really? it makes me wonder..... well i better go...i'm still shaking and my heart rate is just now starting to decline.
