Only to Ana....

Today was a pretty decent today...not too hectic...learned some veeeeeeery interesting things about a "friend" of mine. Sometimes I rather not know ya know? Ah well I will know from now on I can't trust her.

But All in all it was a good day...except...my day start foolish as france.

It went something like this.

I left home at 6 o clock this morning (no that wasn't the foolish bit!).

So I left home at 6 and walking down my street towards the bus stop. Ok so as I am bout 6 feet away from the bus stop I see this rasta fella hop off a bus that was heading Sp'town and cross the street. So he holla fuh me.

Rasta: Browning! Man Browning I ain see you in long. How you doing? (before I can answer he rushes on) wait listen you does still work near such and such a place?"

Me: ....y?

Rasta: Man cha Browning. I want my phone pick up from there but I ain able to take that long ride up there cus I ain got my walkman or my discman to keep me company. And that ride would just be boring. So I waaan know if you could pick up the phone fuh me?

Now keep in mind...I see this fella mussee bout twice in my life...we r NOT friends...and how the hell I supposed to get this phone to him? Take it to his place of abode? Am NO! Have him pass by my house and pick it up?? Wait sudden image of Daddy with a collins...so NO! So I had to set him straight.

Me: Well seeing as I barely know you that would be a no.

Rasta: (most taken aback) Wuh sorry sistuh...I dine mean no disrespect. Sorry to be a bother.

Me: Ok. (keeps heading towards bus stop.)

Not two minutes later a van comes along and I get in and hold a seat in back by the window and we pull off...as we pass my gap (where I had encountered said rastaman) I hear somebody bawl out "Stop that van! Yeah iah hold up!!"

So naturally I turn around wondering who the hell thsi person could be. Lo and behold that persistent man is running towards the van and before I realised what had happened he pelt the phone thru the window and into my lap. All I could say to myself was "what the hell is this." And this is that the blasted fraud had to say -:

"Yeah just return that phone dey fuh me. It is a loaner phone. Thanks sis!" And he turn around and sprints off up the road. SO now everybody in the van looking at me like "wuh just happen dey?" and I CRUEL.

Stupse...however being the good natured soul that I am I took the phone to the customer care rep...and had to explain to her I had a fone to return ...but I dunno who I am returning it for. Of course I had to end up explaining the whole mess to her and she had a good laugh about it. Damn her.

If I see that blasted idiot again I am going to flatten him.

Oh and a client that I met for the first time today hugged me and kissed me in the neck. I'm sure I can sue for sexual harassment...that's just uncalled for :s.

But despite those two events it was a good day....sorta :)

I'm seriously depressed. This week is going awful. These bloody relatives of mine won't stop calling my blasted name in bare friggin foolishness. That child won't stop carrying back tales to people who gin turn around and do the same thing to her in a couple years AND this damn phone won't stop ringing! Office hours end at 4 30! Stop calling!

*sigh*

Small bright spark in my life...Harry Potter is coming out next week. Convinced one of my movie buddies to come with me :) Now gotta work on the other one. He got time to find the 20 bucks so no excuses ^eyeroll^ Trailers and clips look hilarious. Ron's hair looks fabulous. I just want to run my hands through it. Unfortunately he's below the age of consent and that might just get me in trouble. George on the other hand...hmmm... LOL. I know I know...I'm mental...it's the stress I tell you.

Could someone please bring me a plate of fries and some ketchup?? *sigh*

Meeting at 8 30 in the morning. Why these ppl don't understand that I am busy with a million other things and ain really bout seeing them? Blasted obnoxious pissants.

Old Year's night is still sometime away but I hope I have to work that night...yeah odd huh? Well all I ever do on Old Year's is church and it's pretty much the same thing all the time right. Start the new year right etc. Can't we just have a some sorta party instead of all the talk? And in any case I'm not a fete person so I wasn't gonna stay home from church so I could go to a fete. Money wasted the way I see it. So I prefer to babysit. I get to watch TV while the kid sleeps and if their parents are partiers then I won't be going home til about 3 or so in the morning...and considering I'd have started around 8 or so...well that's a good bit of money. Don't talk about if they're drunk and don't realise what they're tipping you oh laus....God bless the tourists LOL

*sigh* I have filing to do....and tearsheets to pull...but I just wanna go home :)

At least tomorrow's Friday...

Sex...it's very possible it's a good thing but these days it's the downfall of too many people...

I miss my sister :)

Latas.

The Intervention pt 2

*eyeroll* just the second instalment in this series. It wasn't about the vegetarian thing this time tho...this time...it was about porn.

Look at wunna sitting up in anticipation wunna malicious heffas LOL. Neways on with our story.

So our herione rolls into the house having been soaked for the second time that night and feeling extremely pissed since her mother refused to send said heroine's father to the busstop to meet her with an umbrella because ...and I quote "There's only one umbrella." Like suddenly the humongous umbrella can't shelter both of us. Nehoos I came in most annoyed and before I can tell her how horrid she was for doing that she goes "Oh I meant to tell you to just get off in Holetown and take a taxi home but it was too late by then wasn't it? " I grits teeth and replies "Yes Mother it was." Off I went to change when I heard my Dad yelling for me saying he needs to "talk with me" which really means he needs me to sit there and listen attentively while he voices his concerns about life in general and my life in particular.

So tonight's topic was porn. The convo went something like this.

Daddy: Now Melly...Esther...I don't know if you all know about this but this country is swiftly going to the dogs. The latest thing now is these new porn videos featuring people of all ages. Even people as old as 60. Isn't that sick? I hear all the guys at work talking about it.

Me: Oh yeah I've heard about that. Kinda sick fuhreal.

Daddy (looking at me perturbed): How you hear bout that?

Me: Same as you. Ppl were talking about it.

Daddy (still looking concerned): Yes...well ok. The point is it's just taken over the island. They apparently have them now on DVDS (he gives me a very truimphant look since he's always been convinced that my dvd player is of the devil and gee now I know why) and these lil school children are taking them to school and watching them on portable dvds. The guys at work buying them on the street for $10. And the thing is that ppl don;t know they are being taped! In one video this woman was telling this man that "you if this get out I gin kill you!" and the man replied "yah mean kill me wid dat!". The whole thing is very serious.

Mummy: (looking at him rather oddly) Well I heard the ppl at work talking about it too and they apparently paid 40 dollars to get a copy of one of the movies. I find that to be a real waste of money.

Me: wuh orrite den. You know what I could do with $40? them barely wasting money.

Daddy: (looking annoyed at the crosstalk) Yes well moving on. I said all this to say..(looks me right in the eye) Be careful what you are doing out there because the next thing you know your face will be on the street and ppl will be walking up to you saying "I know you!! I see you in that porn video!" And your head will hang... in shame.

Me (bursts out laughing now that she sees where this is going): Well thanks for the tip but that's never gonna happen!

Mummy: Excuse you? Wuh you saying? I raised my children a certain way and I would hope they know better than to go and find themselves in foolishness. And in ANY case why you telling Melissa all of this for? She ain foolish. Quite frankly you talking to the wrong body. You should be talking to such and such.

Daddy (looking annoyed that the wind has been taken out of his sails) Well I was just trying to warn her.

Mummy: About what?

Daddy: The dangers out there of course.

Mummy: Well clearly she already knows. So I wud think she knows to avoid them.
And from what I have heard you only find a certain type of person on those things and she isn't that kind of person unless you think otherwise.

Daddy: Well no I wud never say that! I was just warning her of the dangers...of life! (lapses into silence as we watch him disapprovingly) But honestly what IS this country coming to? Local porn industry? Good God Es, this is wuh lil Barbados come to??

...We shall end there because as usual my presence was no longer required for this part of the convo so I headed into my room to read.

I dunno which is more disturbing...the fact my father is discussing porn with people or that he thinks I am likely to end up on one and my head will "hang in shame" LOL.

Lol my Dad kills me. I dunno what to say about that whole thing. I can tell you I laughed heartily about it when I got back in my room. I love the old guy but Lord he's paranoid as hell!

This week in point form

* Well for one thing I only worked 4 days but as highlights go that is STILL pretty high! :D

* The launch has been pushed back for another of couple weeks. DUH what the hell were they thinking of trying to get everything done in one week? Stay off the crack dammit!

* I realised my Mom is actually a pretty loving and understanding person.

* I also realised that I have two remarkable female friends willing to stick up for me lol...still at a loss for words :) Thanks chicas *huggz*

* I really need to learn just to say what is on my mind and not be such a wimp lol

* Loving my sexy new silver and black Motorola. Thanks Govie for pointing me in the right direction.

* Y the hell ppl is do utter junk and KNOW they r doing it and still carry on like nothing is wrong?

* Too many of my female friends have butt up on whoring males in the past few weeks...I like I gin really gotta clone Crackers so I can make sure they find someone decent LOL

* I shouldn't even be in Barbados. Time to put plans in motion!

I don't want to be a bitter female. I think it's silly. But everyday more and more I realise why a lot of women just give up on finding someone. Even the nicest ones you think you could find do something that ultimately throws you for a loop. And you get friggin whiplash from whipping your head around trying to determine where the hell that ball came from LOL

I'm hurt but I'm not raging, not crying, not blaming anyone...shoot if anyone is to blame it's me for hoping beyond hope...it would have been nice tho to hear the truth from them than to hear it from someone else. They were well intentioned and I thank em for confirming what I already knew...it just bites that you have to get info secondhand ya know...

And y bother to ask a question? Technically they did nothing wrong. After all they're a free agent right?...I've already got the answers...more than I need to know really.

I can pretend all I want but God knows I can't pretend that this didn't hurt something awful.

Chopped Liver over and out lol
