The Big 2-2

January 21st is the big day...A few minutes from me writing this, I will be 22. Now, I am not gonna complain about the things I have yet to accomplish, or things I regret. I am not gonna trip on the friends who haven't called me in a while, or even the ones who don't call me on my birthday. I'm still going to school tomorrow, even though I only have one class.

If I do say so myself, I have grown and matured into a beautiful, confident, intelligent woman. I have learned so much from my past few birthdays, that I cannot help but look to this one with optimism.

I am going to thank God for giving me another birthday, another year of good health and love, and eagerly look forward to another year and another chance to shine.

So far this year

I went to the grocery store a few days ago and grabbed a cart. I was a little warm, so I took off my coat. A guy nearby turned, and liking what he saw said "Damn!" I was a little irritated so I rolled my eyes and continued looking at fruit. The guy got a little closer and said, "Man, it's a shame God wasted all that body on such a evil ass woman." I found this a little disturbing, but terribly funny so I laughed it off.


I signed on to Yahoo, and this guy who owns a Yahoo group I am in began to question me concerning my love life. We have chatted before, but not on a personal level. He was asking me about my last experience, my partner's size, etc. Thinking it would incline me to speak further, he volunteered details concerning his partner, which he really could have kept to himself. He got mad that I didn't want to share, and put up a silly Yahoo status directed towards me. I hate that he assumed that just because I write erotic fiction, I like to talk about sex all the time. Some people spend too much online, and find themselves getting caught up, and shutting themselves off from the outside world. To them I say, get a life.



So, around 10am I get a call. First of all I didn't recognize the voice, so the guy got mad. Second, he called my house, and since I haven't given that number out in forever, I knew it was someone from way back. This guy calls and tells me that he hasn't heard from me in forever and he was going through his phone book. He said he was calling because he wanted to know if he should delete my number. His tone was very arrogant, as if it would be my loss not to talk to him. My response:

"Hell yea, delete my number, I don't even know who this is, and it's obvious that I have lost your number."

He got very pissed, and in a huff he said, "Well fine, it's been nice knowing you." And hung up.


Fellas are funny. But, seriously, I ask y'all: Are men, or people in general gonna be on bullsh** all year? If so, it's gonna be a long one...And if people are on bull all year, how will this year's bull be different from all other years where people were full of it?
