Ranting Friday

• I'd like to say that women are complex creatures and that you never know what will set us off. But at the risk of being labeled as stereotypical, I'll just say that I am a complex creature and you never know what will set me off. Stop and think before you open your mouth and say something that could strike a chord in me.
• I got bored last night and started snapping pics of my self. I think I could be America's Next Top Napptural Model. Holla at the kid!

................

• My Co-workers and my supervisor (all men) are playing Fantasy Football this year. They brought this huge "Fantasy Draft" poster and put it on the wall. They are now standing around the poster looking at it in awe and going on and on about football. Seriously???
• Everything happens for a reason. Maybe "before" happened so that I wouldn't go psycho out of my mind and feel things too fast. Because now, I'm barely moving: slowly, surely....
• I miss my Nita.
• I want to color my hair. Anyone ever tried Henna???? I need suggestions, help, tips, ANYTHING!
• I've been alive for 25 years. And in those 25 years, I've eaten plenty of McDonald's. Two weeks ago was the first time that I ever ate a Quarter Pounder. And I have yet to try a Big Mac.

Actual conversation between me and my friend a few weeks back:

me:: OK. I don't know what's wrong with me!
nita:: I don't like it when you start a sentence with "ok". It makes my heart beat fast.
me:: OK. Something isn't right.
nita:: (laughs hysterically at the fact that I continue to start the sentence with ok) What's wrong?
me:: I don't feel the butterflies and I don't feel all jittery inside. It's like I'm afraid to open up.
nita:: You can't let your past dictate your present. You're going to have to let go. Either you let go or let him go.
me:: (wining) But it's so hard! I don't want to be hurt!
nita:: You are crazy! He hasn't done anything to you. Shoot, send him my way. I'll marry him.
me:: I like him. He is sweet, caring, thoughtful... But I'm scared.
nita:: You are an idiot.
me:: I think so too.
