Nope. He just talked to me like we knew each other or something. I was like what kind of mess is that. I must be a celebrity and not even know it. What if I’m like the Kim Kardashian of Richmond, and I don’t even know it. I mean I guess I could be. Everyone wants to know me.
You want someone to stick me for my papers? I mean that would just be wrong! I would be hurt!! I mean we might need to sign a prenup when we get married. I’m worth buku bucks. Buku.
I don’t know. Maybe he thought I was into that kind of stuff or something. Doesn’t he know all I watch are romantic-dramadies and serious films! I don’t watch Cartoons or anything that was based on a cartoon. I mean really. Nothing. He was worth nothing. He needs to get some better jobs like “The Game” and anything Tyler Perry. Then we can talk.
I wonder have I ever really dated a guy like them. Just going out to dinner and doing things……let me ponder………nope.
Oh because I’ve hooked so many people up before. I am not Hitch.
Umm you know I go hard in the paint. Don’t even try to front on me. Thank you very much.

Life and times of Love: Alittle Backround
My dad was a drug dealer, a thief and my mom was a drug user but it didn't start out that way. For my mom life changed at 13, this 13 year old girl that desperately wanted the love of a mother and the attention of a father. Went out in the world to get what she wasn't getting from home. This 13 year old girl now 47 says to me that no decision she made in life affects the woman I am today. Though I know that there is a difference between that being true and that being what she wants, I get it. I understand that life is messy and for my mom life was disaster. So at 47 the only thing that turned out pretty decent in her life was me, which means that somewhere God's glory shines. My mom and I have always been close, as a child it was us against the world. My dad in jail and my mom working two jobs trying not to fail as a single mom, as a woman. She didn't fail but the world took a hold of her, drugs consoled her and somewhere I got left behind. In no way am I trying to make it seem like she was a bad mother but I want you to understand that life happens. So at 13 my life changed and will that affect my children, yes it will. At 13 the bottom fall out. My best friend, my mother, my everything wasn't who I thought she was and I had no idea why. The drugs, lying, stealing, I saw none of it. It wasn't until I was 18 that I began to gasp how truly strong my mother was, is and will always be. We remain close, I tell her everything, even things I forget when remember I tell her that too. Recently she said to me that she would like to believe that God gave me the best of both my parents. Her strength, independence and her survival stills. I would like to believe that too.
I tell this story because I think it is good for people to hear a little of my testimony so you can understand my journey today. At the beginning of the year I asked my mom to be my accountability partner on this journey I am taking this year. This week she has done a good job keeping me on track which inspired this post :).

K-liners
You wait your whole life for a ring, just to say you’re not alone. Oh boo! I just want a ring, I don’t have to get married. Its just a piece of paper.
I really need to stop making references to Sex and the City while talking about real life. I have to accept that was a TV show and that they are the exception, not the rule.
No problem. I’m used to it now. The public schools failed you and so did your spell check.
“Everyone just wants to be loved. I mean, even stalkers are flattering before they go crazy.”
“I don’t understand why people with no job are so excited it’s Friday on facebook. I mean, what have you been doing all week that is so grueling that you need to be happy it’s Friday? You don’t have a job!!!
So what are we?? The lame couple. I’ll punch you.

No Regrets
Being nice to a friends' love interest is never easy. When it comes to dating there are so many hits and misses before you find the person that fits you. So as you date you introduce your friends to these guys that you think are great, yet your friend sees it before you do. The guys that are needy, controlling, cowardly, liars and users....really the list can go on.
So then the friend is stuck with a person that they don't want in their life or wouldn't have chosen to have in their life, that's how I have and can tend to feel about some of my friends' love interest. You have these girls that are so amazing dealing with anything just so they won't be alone. So you have to be a good friend and put up with the waste of space boyfriends or favors of the moment (yea I had to bring that back) hoping that your friends will come to their senses.
We judge them unworthy knowing that if you say something to your friend they might think you are jealous because you are single. Which is hardly ever true but we females are emotional like that. As I get older I understand that being nice to my friends' love interest is much easier than disapproving. I have to remember that they can marry these guys and they could be around forever.
If you can't be nice to your friends' love interest some may suggest that you remove yourself from the situation completely or if there is something that rubs you the wrong way about him, take advice from neutral people around you. Let's be serious we are all adults and if someone truly wants to be with someone it doesn't really matter how their friends feel. As long as the friend is tolerate of the love interest when they are forced around each other. Yes it sucks but I have had plenty of practice. Recently I had a good friend of mines boyfriend tell me that I was a great friend to his girlfriend and he was glad she had someone like me in her life. I thought to myself you poor idiot if you only knew how I really felt about you....haha.....but it is not my place to judge. It is my duty as a friend to support my friends and be there regardless if the relationship ends in disaster or marriage.

Happy New Year!!!
I celebrated the new year partying with a group of my favorite people. I couldn't have asked for anything more. When I get with these people nothing matters more than our friendship, having a good time and making new memories. I look forward to great things in 2011 with the "nice girls" and Justin. (haha sorry I can't help but to add the inside jokes.)
I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year!
