The years are just flying by.

Even though I was in a shitty mood on Friday and not really looking forward to my birthday weekend, it turned out better than I expected. My aunt R called me on Friday to find out what I had planned for the weekend. R. is one of my favorite aunts and I am her favorite niece. She has been spoiling me since I was a little kid. She started asking me what I wanted for my birthday. I told her she didn�t have to give me anything since she is giving me her 27� TV when she moves into her new house. I was happy to be getting a free TV and didn�t need anything else from her. Then R asked if I needed a computer desk for my computer. I told R that my desktop was at my mom�s house still because I really didn�t have room for it in my new apartment. I told her I really wanted a laptop and have been asking my mom for one for two years now with no luck. I told her that I was trying to save my money so I could by myself a laptop. R then asked what I needed a laptop for. I told her it was because I was thinking about going back to school for my PhD and that I would need a new computer and would prefer a laptop. I also am tired of lugging my desktop from city to city every time I move. I didn�t tell R this with hopes of her to go out and get me a laptop. We were just having a simple phone conversation. R has two kids of her own and is in the process of buying a new house. But an hour later, R calls and asks me if I wanted a Toshiba or HP. I damn near lost my mind. I really thought she was playing. I kept telling her that she didn�t have to buy me a new computer. But she insisted. She gave me this long spill of how proud she is of me and how my mom helped her out when she was in college and she wanted to get the computer for me. I broke down in tears of joy. I was so happy. R ordered the computer for me from circuit city and later that night I was able to go and pick it up. Now I have a brand new laptop and I love it. Saturday, me Rie, Tiff and A went to Oakland to hang out. We were supposed to leave at 3:00�but you know black folks. We didn�t get on the freeway until 5:30. We went to this club called Kimbals Carnival and it was just that�a carnival. There were so many fucking clowns in there it was ridiculous. Even though the crowd was older and not really our type we had a good time anyways. Bro. A might be shocked to hear that I only had one drink and I didn�t let anybody cop any free feels. Have you ever had a friend that complained about every damn thing?? Tiff really started�no she GOT on my nerves this weekend. Every little thing she had to comment about and the comments were always negative. I invited Tiff over on Friday night and she ended up spending the night even though I really didn�t want her too. I had things I needed to do on Saturday morning and Tiff is slow getting up and getting herself together. That night Tiff complained the whole time. First she was hot, and then she was cold. While I was getting my hair braided she wanted me to move my out stretched legs so she could lie on the floor and get comfortable. When I told her that she could move to the other side of the room she copped an attitude and said she would not be able to see the TV. I let Tiff wash some of her clothes at my house and she complained that my dryer didn�t get hot enough to dry her 5 pair of jeans and 3 sweaters. On Saturday she complained that her feet hurt. Tiff had on some cute shoes but they were obviously not made for walking. Then she complained about the hotel we stayed in. She was slow as hell getting ready and got an attitude when we tried to tell her to hurry up. Tiff was the first person to start getting dressed but was the very last one ready. She complained about the club, the drinks and her food. Then on Sunday she had a funky attitude again this time for no reason. We went out to eat that morning and she sat there in a rut barely talking the whole time. Rie, A and I just ignored her. We didn�t have time to baby a grown ass women and find out what the hell her problem was. Tiff is like that though. Sometimes I wonder why we are friends to begin with. Her attitude and personality can change in an instant. But we have been friends since Jr. High and despite her off and on personality I love her to death. J-mac is going to get a good tongue lashing the next time he calls me. He obviously forgot to call me yesterday and wish me a happy birthday. Now I have to act all mad and attempt to coerce him into sending me some more money so I can buy some new gym shoes. He already sent me $50 last week but another $50 will get me some new shoes and some new workout gear. My night ended last night on a good note. B called me. I was shocked that he remembered my birthday. We talked for an hour, which is a long time for us. Usually I barley get 5 minutes of his time because he is always so busy. For the first time, I finally got an idea of how B feels about me. I knew he kinda liked me but I never knew how much. Last night he was like "you know I think the world of you". I sat in silence for a second and told him I had no idea he liked me that much. B and I don�t usually discuss feelings a whole lot. Our time together was so short and we both knew that we would be moving on with our lives after graduation. I purposely tried not to get too attached to B because when it was time to move back to Cali I wanted it to be as painless as possible. Of course trying to control your feelings never works. B and I talked about him coming out here for a visit in November. We will see what happens. If he is serious about trying to make something work between us I�m going to be in a real bind. |
