My Random Rantings and then some

I have a confession..... i have been unfaithful to Hi5!. Yes! Yes! i have been creeping and cheating with Facebook. I don't know how it all started really...but i do feel bad. I guess you could say that Hi5 doesn't do it for me anymore, i have found a better lover in Facebook!. At least Facebook doesn't allow people that i don't know into my home....having strangers call me "baby" and giving me their numbers in Naija (like i am actually stupid enough to call). Basically u can conclude that my love for Facebook runs deep...BUT i will still keep Hi5 on the side as my part-time lover!.

So now that i have gotten all that out, I have been so busy these last couple of days that i honestly forgot that that i had to update my journal. You guys know that anywhere I am, there is bound to be DRAMA!, so i will give u d 411. I am just going to run through a couple of the crazy happenings in MD right now.

Three weeks ago: My friend calls me to tell me that her newly married friend's husband is making passes at her and she didn't know what to do. It seems like "o'l boy" had forgotten the unwritten rule of keeping ur indecent behavior as far from home as possible. She had repeatedly told him that she doesn't like him in the way he might like, but the bobo wasn't hearing all that ohh. AS IN! some men are not smart AT ALL!. It is one thing to cheat and it is another thing to think you can cheat with your wife's close friend!. Na so the bobo dey confess love ohh, talking about he has liked her from the first day he saw her. Naturally my friend was very distressed but I on the other hand was having a ball reading all what he was telling her (and you wonder why some women run over their husbands abi!). The funniest part of the whole thing was when the guy even had the liver to ask her what they were going to do about seeing each other without his wife knowing!, JESU, I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD. Not only do we have here a case of the cheating husband, but we have a particularly rare case of the "dumbest cheating husband known to man". I told my friend not to worry herself, homeboy must be on some special kinda drugs which may have easily clouded his ability to think logically.

Two weeks ago: I get a call from my friend early Saturday morning and she was crying so hard i could hardly hear what she was saying. Half annoyed and half intrigued i dragged myself off the bed and tried to listen closely to her mumbled words. Anyway sha, i could tell she was very distressed so i told her to come over to my house so that we could talk. An hr later she showed up with eyes swollen and basically looking like CRAP!. Come to find out that my darling friend had done the "psycho woman's pastime", SHE HAD DOWN A DRIVE-BY!. For those that don't understand, a drive-by is when you go by your man's house unannounced hoping to catch him in a very compromising position with another woman!. Only problem in my friend's case was that i don't think she was thinking she would find a girl there, she just figured she would pay him a quick visit since she hadn't heard from him the night before. Na so the chick get to his house and let herself in, she walked upstairs opened the door and found her boyfriend of two years in bed with another woman!. At this point in the story i didn't know whether to laugh or cry for her, the whole thing was like a bad Naija movie. Naturally, the bobo was acting all confused when she asked him what was going on, he had nothing to tell her. So she left his house crying her eyes out, she could barely drive home because she kept stopping at intervals on the road. I felt really bad for her, my friend had commitment issues as it was, so finding a cheating boyfriend in bed with another woman wasn't doing much for her self-esteem. I asked her to stay the night since i figured it wouldn't be safe for her to drive home to an empty house. The next day i woke up and was getting ready for church when my friend ran into my room, she seemed excited about something so i sat on the bed to listen to what she had to say. She basically told me that the night before, right after i had gone to bed, she decided to call her now ex-bf and confront him one last time. I guess at the back of her mind she wanted closure and she wanted it fast. Needless to say she got closure all right!!!, she had barely uttered a word to him before the guy told her that first thing Monday morning he was filing a restraining order on her. At this point i couldn't even hold it back anymore....I WAS ROLLING ON THE FLOOR!!!. Imagine the nerve of this guy ohh, your girlfriend who you had promised to marry...finds you in bed with a woman that looks nothing like her and as if to rub in the reality of the situation...YOU ARE NOW GOING TO MAKE HER SEEM LIKE A MAD WOMAN BY PUTTING A RESTRAINING ORDER OUT ON HER!!!. A man that never had a problem with any of her random visits before now, suddenly feels threatened by the fact that she can walk into his house at anytime without calling. I found the whole thing ludicrous to say the least, i had a few choice words to say to the guy... I STILL DO!. The crazy thing about the whole situation is how fast my friend has seemed to bounce back, i guess getting threats of possible jail time from the man who had sworn to love u...WOULD DO THAT TO A WOMAN!.

Last Sunday: About two postings ago i had mentioned that a "crush" of mine was getting married, well the wedding was this Sunday (i know...strange day for a wedding). When i found out he was getting married, i figured the honorable thing to do would be to go to the wedding and just have fun, WELL I AIN'T THAT HONORABLE!. I had finally resolved in my mind that skipping out on the wedding would be what was best for both parties involved, UNTIL my very silly friend RSVP'd on my behalf and told the groom that i will be showing up, I WANTED TO KILL HIM!. So there i was on a Sunday evening, looking cute as can be and wearing a very uncomfortable smile on my face. The ceremony was short and to the point (just the way i like it!) and once the bridal party marched outside being followed by the soothing sounds of Bach, i got up and made my way to the door ...trying to get to the cocktail area in time for some good food. I had only taken a few steps before i saw a line forming right in front of me. I initially thought it was the line for the food, but alas i soon found out it was for greeting the bridal train. I was horrified and speechless, not only do i have to seat through a whole ceremony filled with words of love and wot not...but now i have to exchange pleasantries with the Bride and Groom. As the crowd slowly trickled to the front, i formulated a plan about how i was going to get through this. My plan wasn't fully in place before i noticed i was face to face with the Bride and Groom. With a great big smile on my face i gave them one of my famous hugs, cheesing like my life depended on it. In two minutes i was in the clear and thinking up ways i could kill my friend for dragging me there. The reception was everything i imagined it would be, it was also everything i had prayed it wouldn't be. Even as i sat at the table sulking at the fact that my silly friend was now totally ignoring me to talk to d VERY beautiful girl seated at our table, i couldn't help but be happy for the couple. They looked so good together and i guess i have to admit that if i had taken a moment to envision him with someone other than myself, i might actually have seen how happy he could be. After i had gotten over the fact that i could never have him again, i relaxed and began to have fun. The music was good, the guys..... HAUT!!!, and the food...WELL...THE FOOD WAS SOMETHING ELSE. Bottom line; i am over the fact that he got married to someone else, and his wife is truly an amazing woman and she deserves to have a man like him.

On a lighter note, a couple of my favorite bloggers are getting some love in the media. The newest edition of "True Love" Magazine in Nigeria has a feature on Nigerian Bloggers in the diaspora. It is a very interesting piece and i am so proud of them!, esp since the five women highlighted happen to be personal favorites of mine and two of them inspired my own blog. Anyway if you have a passion for writing, fashion or just plain reading...then you will def fall in love with these ladies too.
