Bitter or Sweet.....

Even though I have been bit by the confusion bug I still consider myself as being informed and wise. These are words that I use to describe interesting and pertinent people. Over the past several weeks, I have been living out an exciting dream that I never thought would be possible. When you have some kind of joy in your life, it seems as if everyone is trying to rain on your parade. Everyone has an opinion but as my grandma use to say, opinions are like butholes and everyone has one. Combine this with simple addition and nosy girl friends and you have hit the trifecta. Apparently, my cyber issue has been leaked to my friends by someone. It had to be someone from this class but as with any other second hand information, you will never find out. I find it amusing that nobodies always find time to talk about some bodies. When I heard about it, I immediately shared my concerns with Lamaris. He always seems to understand where I am coming from, and knows just what to say. I was a little confused to why my business is someone else's concern. People always surprise me with the things that they do. Often, I really get perplexed over the silliness that we as adults still participate in daily. Things that are so minimal are completely stretched and blowed out of proportion. When my friend told me about it, I felt a little shocked and then shock turned to humor. She would not tell me who said it, which immediately got me on the defense. I wonder sometimes why people just cannot bask in your joy and just be happy for you. Even if this relationship does not work out, I will be satisfied with the taste it leaves in my mouth whether bitter or sweet.

I have to admit, I just recently started reading your blog but I love it - and I think you're so right about everyone being nosy about other people's business. Maybe it's just human nature? Although it bothers me, I still find myself doing it. My friends were all against me dating my current boyfriend but now they like him more than me. I think your friends will come around in the end, especially if you're happy.

Maybe they are nosey, but maybe they are just interested. This is an interesting blog - it's unexpected and fresh. I don't know what your friend was saying about you, but, this has potential as an idea for a movie. The truth is that all or some of this on your blog could be made up - which is fine by me - I'm not saying I think it is - but, who cares? I'm reading it likes it's a fantasy journey, a journey of self exploration into what a person can manage in cyber-space and distance, not a blow by blow account of a personal relationship. Whether true or not, real or fantasy, it reads like a new age romantic tale and that's good enough for me.

People are nosey. Just look at facebook or myspace, that is a world of people being nosey. One of my friends left me a message yesterday ,saying that he was stalking on facebook and saw something on my page that made him feel he needed to leave me a message. I am guilty at looking at peoples pages just to see what they are up to. I do not get to see or talk to many of my friends from college and who do not live in Mobile, so I can keep up with them through facebook. It really is addicting. I do not look all the time, but if I am feeling bored I will take a look into their lives!!! I would not worry about what your friends think or say, they could be jealous that you did not tell them or that they do not have the same type of relationship. This is all about you and Lamrius and exploring ya'lls relationship. I love your blog, you are very talented at expressing yourself!

You are absolutely right about people and their opinions. Do you!! if you like it I love it, I'm just not that brave enough to do it; I am on another level right now not saying that I have not thought about doing this type of dating. I must admit I called some love line about 7yrs. ago and became a chicking and bailed out. I must say I like your style and aggressiveness. Another thing who cares what the next person think, it goes to show you that we have to keep our enemy close. LET THEM HATE ON YOU! It's makes you wonder about your friends.
