My Week...

Well It's time for my weekly break....I feel like I've been going crazy this week, no time for any rest! Well, I started my internship this week, and already I've met the craziest people...There is BZee, the most GAYEST (I know it's wrong, just doing this for emphasis), who thought he was deceiving me about his sexuality at first...Abi did he see feeding bottle in my mouth? Sha he finally admitted the truth yesterday; Not that he had to tell me, because we had a whole discussion about shoes, and he has the most effeminate gestures ever, so my gaydar was tingling! He is actually the sweetest person ever, and he has changed some of my perceptions about gay people (Just being honest here, don't hate). Then, there is SK, who basically told me his whole life story within 10 minutes of our knowing each other...I don't know if I have something on my forehead that makes people want to tell me everything; maybe I should become a therapist? Anyway I digress. SK is really nice as well, but he has been delighting in giving me excess information, and I doubt both of them know what personal space, but it's cool 'cos they're nice.

I got the weirdest call on wednesday. Some dude called me up, and after speaking unintelligibly for some time, he asked me who was speaking. How do you call someone and ask them who's speaking? I promptly hung up. The same dude called with a different number, then proceeded to tell me my name and tell me how I gave him my number earlier that day. Seeing as I had been busy with work all day, and I had not given any one my number that day, I had to wonder what was going on. Of course I told the dude I did no such thing. I though the episode was over, but noooo... The idiot decided to keep texting me. Finally I asked the moron to to tell me his identity and stop bugging me; apparently that was a bad thing to do. This idiot is gonna call me, all emotional, talking about how I'm a tease; that I probably just go around giving ppl my # and he basically ended up implying dat I was a ho. Lekwanu mu ihu nsogbu...For that, I basically gave him a prescription for some balls and told him to quickly lose my number. I'm not a rude person...he just ticked me off, and he picked the worst moment to do it too...I was very stressed out at the time! By the way, I still don't know it was.

Make una hold me oh...I will soon kill somebody for this country. The soon-to-be victim is this overgrown moron whom I'll call pO. This useless idiot is a frickin' pervert, and I've been trying to ignore him but over the last week he really has been stomping on my last nerve. He's my friends' friend, he always kinda got on my nerves; you know all these local champions who think they're the s**t but really aren't? That's pO right there. Anyways, this dude has developed an obsession with each of the aforementioned friends, but now he's really obsessed with one of them, A. The idiot has been calling A's phone and making obscene statements like "When I get you alone I will deal with you...I will f*** u till ur a** tears." That already put me off; I hate such people. This man is married with a child, but he has left his wife and child in 9ja so that he -in his words- can "enjoy life and play around". That's not my issue though. Last week he went overboard, physically hurting her. If I had not stepped into the house when I had, I probably would have been dealing with a case of rape. Now given my history, you can understand why he is particularly revolting to me can't you? He knows I detest him too, 'cos everytime he sees me now he always asks me why I hate him (Like he does not know)....It's on! He just messed with the wrong one...

Moving on from that idiot (I swear he puts me in a terrible state of mind)....My daddy decided to help me out. Yay! Now I'm car hunting....hoping I get one soon.

After all the craziness of this week, I'm just glad it's friday...at least I can rest a little bit. Okay I take that back...I haven't really done any studying this week so I will definitely be immersed in my books.

Well, I'm off to listen to some mellow music and enjoy my evening...the studying can resume tomorrow. Have a lovely evening people!

On Relationships....

Hi ppl! Taking a break from my infernal MCAT studying, so o course I had to come do what makes me happy: Blog!
Lately, I've begun to notice that I'm receiving some attention. This is extremely weird for me 'cos I've always been the one who couldn't care less about her appearance, the tomboy, one of the guys. This is simply because I grew up with a whole lotta males and I tried so hard to emulate them...my father despaired while I was growing up, always saying that it seemed he'd been stuck with four sons instead of three. There's a little change now, thanks to some determined friends and aunts (they still haven't gotten to my inner tomboy; they just think they have ;) ). Neways, I stray from the subject.
I feel the same, I mean I haven't changed...still the semi-nerdy, roly poly olie, not the most attractive girl in the bunch. The only thing that I've changed in the past month is that I'm now wearing contacts instead of glasses, and I don't believe that made such a dramatic change in my appearance. The worst thing is, I seemed to be asked out by the wrongest people; I'm not being shallow here, nothing to do with looks either; case in point: the latest "winner" is some dude whose idea of complimenting a girl is giving her an extra piece of bacon in her burger; bacon, I might add, that he has burnt horribly! See what I'm working with here?
Honestly, I know nothing about relationships. I have NEVER been in a relationship, never been kissed (I kid you not, unless you count a chaste peck on the cheek from my crush as a kiss), and obviously a virgin. I'm not weird or anything, I just had a love-hate relationship with men. Truth is I was molested as a child....and twice for that matter.

You know what, I will have to continue this later. I really have to go. I will be back to continue this soon though.

Random...

Hey people!

Been away for a while again...sorry abeg, I've just been involved in intense studying for my MCAT...I'll be taking it in august, so I'm trying to get serious. I shall get there one day oh...Ami.

I just got an internship that I've been hoping and praying I'd get. Thank God. Now I'm trying to see if I can sweet talk my dad into getting me a car. Nothing big you see; just a lil' sumn to take me from point A to point B. I've been taking my driving lessons faithfully, so don't worry, the civilians are safe. I'm tired of catching the bus and dealing with all the kolo people I seem to be meeting there daily.

Speaking of that....I seem to be meeting all kinds of characters these days because of that bus. Just last week, a lady got on the bus and sat across from me. She noticed I was reading an MCAT biology book and apparently decided that qualified me as a doctor. This woman proceeded to chronicle every ache and pain she had encountered for the past ten years while asking what she should do about them. Abegi, see me see wahala. She said she was on her way to her doctor, so I tried to get her to keep her questions for the doctor. I mean, any one I knew something about, I'd help out with, but still. To make matters worse, we were headed in the same direction, so after getting off the bus, I still had to endure about 20 more minutes of her company...she walked extra slow and scolded me if I started to walk faster...I be her pikin?

Then there's the old man on my street who is stalking me. He makes sure he is on the porch at the time I'll pass by his house, and last time he decided to tell me he even knows my routine. I even stayed an hour late last time to throw him off, but no luck. I don de hold pepper spray oh...I don't trust him.

If I continue today, I won't even finish. To add insult to injury, the stupid bus passes by each route once every hour, and stops running at 6pm.

I'm off to go speak with popsie. Wish me luck!
