Next Evolution

Umm, I walked up in this joint IRRITATED today. God, I hate PMS. *going to take my lovely pills*
Sing to me Donnie…I got “A Song For You” playing on my ipod *sigh* Sang to me Donnie. *feeling a little better*

B called me last night, backgroud here We had a superficial convo for awhile and then it went something like this:
Me: Are we friends?
B: yeah, sure why?
Me: Nah, that’s all I needed to know
B: You sound like there is something you want to tell me.
Me: Nope, I got my answer.
B: You can tell me. Oh, you got a booty call. lol! What’s the nigga name?
Me: It’s not even like that. I just didn’t want you to be going in one direction and I was going in the other.
B: Dammit woman, you gonna stop talking in riddles. You can tell me.
Me: I’m good, nah let me stop lying. Can we JUST be friends?
B: That’s cool. I kind of figured because you went from talkin to a nigga everyday to ain’t spoke in two weeks. Had a nigga aroused for two weeks but that’s ok!
(his sister picks up)
B: well, you gonna be up, I got to let my sis use the phone.
Me: Nah, I got a 9am class.
B: well, I’ll speak to you whenever. bye
Me: aight.Bye.

*Sing to me Anthony Hamilton…”Float” is now playing*

I finally did it. I stopped being passive aggressive *just not calling him* and actually said what I wanted. I feel much better. I can’t control how he handles what I’ve said, I can just be at peace that I won’t be leading him on. And I’d like to be his friend but we’ll see, if we don’t keep in contact, I’m honestly ok with that.

*Sing to me Jilly from Philly….”Gettin in the Way”…

I had a really nice weekend. It started on friday with me renting a movie and ordering a pizza. My mom came home w/o the fiance and we chilled out.

Saturday was another day of chillin. I cleaned up, did some homework, helped wash the dog, washed and fro’d out my hair, and lazed around the house. My biggest accomplishment: Never putting on a bra! Those are the days! *don’t act like I’m not tellin the truth*

Sunday, I awoke bright and early *grrrrrr, can’t sleep past 9am no more*. Did some more reading and then got ready to go to the WingsFest down on Auburn Ave. Me and my momma had fun. We got down there round 12:30 cause the website said it began at 12 but they were telling people it didn’t start til 1pm and there was $2 charge to get in. Well, my momma raised sand..professionaly though…and by the time it was over, she was chillin in the shade along with the event staff! Everybody who walked up, she was tellin them it didn’t start til 1pm! Like she worked there!lol!
We finally got in and began our stroll. Me and my momma was cute, if I must say so, I was in my turqouise polo, black capri’s and flip flops and my Afro was HUGE! I made Pam Grier proud! My momma was wearing jeans and her favorite Bob Marley shirt *not one of those with the face..this one had his whole image and some song lyrics* and her Locs were on point and I must say I was envious of her retro shades…work it momma! We were a sight to behold! lol! We had ‘em breakin necks and staring with awe at the fro& loc duo! lol!
One man was walking down the street and he looked up and saw my momma and me and slowed down. I swear he was struttin to the tune of “I’m too sexxy for my shirt, too sexxy for my shirt, so sexy.it.hurts!” lol! I tole my momma to get her man, he walkin slow for her!Lol!
After going around to the vendors tryin to find one of those knit hats that would fit all my momma locs under it and failing. We ran into a woman who said she had some at her shop over on Moreland. Well, off we went. Oh by the way, the chicken was good. I had lemon-pepper wings and my momma had teriyaki wings and bar-b-que wings.

Anyway, we headed to Moreland and went to this new shoppin center. The white folks brought it to the neighborhood..heck they needed somewhere to shop, what with all the gentrification going on *smirk* Anywho, once I got over my mixed emotions bought all the white folk living smack in the middle of the “not so ghetto anymore”, I had a good time. We went to Barne’s and Noble *build it and they will come..lol* and ended with a trip to Coldstone’s Ice Cream shop thingy place lol. That’s some GOOD ice cream…Jesus wept!

I need to be more observant and learn how to flirt. Goodness *shakin head* There was a nice lookin young man working there and he was interested but I wasn’t payin not a nerrr tention. I caught him lookin at me while he was fixin my mom’s ice cream but didn’t think nothin of it. People often look and I look back and they usually just go on bout they business. Then my momma told me that he complimented my hair and her hair. Then she went on and told him I was 21. I was clueless to all of this at the time, except I heard her say 21. Hindsight is 20/20 cause he offered me a sample while I waited *didn’t do that for nobody else* He asked me was it my first time at coldstones *trying to spark up some conversation* Then he offered me and my mom coupons for our next visit *tryin to get me to come see him again* Of Course, my momma clued me in to all of the above. No wonder I’m single, I need to be more observant and smile! Grrrr at myself! lol! I think I’ll be makin a stop by Coldstone’s next sunday with one of my girlfriend’s for support! lol!

So that was my weekend. I hadn’t been home that much in awhile. Felt kinda nice. I’ll be home next weekend too, studying for finals Grrrrr. But it’s all good.

of silence for my Creative MP3 player *silence*

Ok, yesterday at approxamitely 4:15pm, my MP3 player met with an unfortunate event. I left work and headed to the restroom to potty before catching the campus shuttle back to my car. I always always always hook up to my music when crossin campus soooo I was jamming when I entered the ladies room. I enter the stall, do the do, and as I turn to do a karate style kick flush…my MP3 player winds up in the toilet! *quadrupal le sigh* My first thought: Oh no! Second thought: Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Final thought: Oh heck naw I paid $90 for this thing, we gone try to save this! So, I pulled it back up by my earphone cord and rushed it to the sink. I had to rinse it off…I just had to. So I did that and then I dried it out and made my way to the bus all the while banging the flash drive against my hand like a smoker does a pack of cigarettes.
Apparently holding it up to the air condition in the car will not bring a MP3 player back to life, it’ll create condensation, but life bringing back..it will not. We had some great times walking across campus and working out at the gym! I pronounced my MP3 player dead at 6:20pm. Another moment of silence *silence*

But there is a fortunate turn of events for me! I’d asked my momma for an ipod for my birthday just last week and she agreed to get me one with part of her refund check! lol! Well, we did some creative financing and I went out yesterday and bought the new love of my life *I’m so fickle* The 1GB Ipod Nano. I also bought an alarm clock radio with banging speakers that playes and charges the music on my ipod. I’m doubly in love. By the time I was done with those purchases and a 2yr warranty on the ipod, I’d dropped $287…but I’m ok with that!

I was up til 11pm transferring my music to itunes, which isn’t that bad but it’s still not that user friendly but we gone work it out!

I lub my ipod! I will never forsake thee!
