A quick insomniac post..

Seattle and hanging out with my 2 sisters was fantastic! This is probably one of my favorite pictures of the  trip taken my little sis Fern who is (a Physics genius who happens to be a fabulous photographer!) We were having lunch at Matt's in the Market, a great little (quite literally) restaurant in the Market area...

Fern in green, me, and the big sis!

I'll post more about the trip later...I'm hoping this short post will lull me to sleep! And now the long awaited DADDY update! If you have never heard my DADDY stories, check the categories- I created one just for him!

The day after I received the glorious note, I came home to daddy and his homeboy staring and grinning stupidly at me from the second floor. In his usual eloquent manner, he yells "SAY! when can I come over?!" In a huffier than normal tone (oh the joys of breaking up) i yell back "I'M NOT INTERESTED!"....then remembering the note, I ask him how old he is...22! He asks me my age and I mumble "22", and walk briskly to my apartment, instantly regretting telling the truth.

The next day I hear a now very familiar knock on the door, it's none other than DADDY. He proceeds to tell me that my statement "I'm not interested" indicates that "you got the wrong idea!" and that he just wants to talk, and be friends...Oh brother, did he forget the "I can be your friend lover just put it like this I want to be any and everything other guys seem to miss or fail to do". Mmm hmm. After insisting that he just wants to talk, he proceeds to stare BLATANTLY at 'the gurls', and adds "you look nice!" Right.

After a few days of clever observation and minor sleuthing, i find out that DADDY really is a DADDY!!! OMG! I even get to meet his oh-so-very-cute baby boy Nathaniel. Oh, the plot thickens! I then find out, that Daddy's baby's momma (got that?), and apparently soon to be ex-wife,  lives NEXT DOOR to me! I am far too familiar with the potential wrath of an ex-girlfriend...did I mention my lovely ex had a new girl 3 days after out breakup?

Perhaps it's just my overactive imagination, but I swear I saw her pacing in front of my apartment one morning! Eeep! To avoid any potential "JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!" moments I decided to stay farrrr away. The next thing I know, I see Daddy and Daddy's baby's momma moving out of their apartments together....ahh happy endings! I was almost sad to see him go....almost.

Sadly, no more daddy stories will be told, BUT I have no shortage of clueless, lovestruck boys..one waited for me for god knows how long in the bookstore's parking lot, in the TEXAS HEAT. When I asked in disbelief "what the hell are u doing here?!!" he replied "trying to fly"...um, ok, that's almost as good a pickup line as daddy's "I don't mean no disrespect, but you sexy" :D

It's almost 4 and I'm going to attempt to fall asleep!

Sweet dreams!

ohhh myyy gooodness...no he didn't! I can't stop laughing, and laughing. Here's the second and third installment of my lovestruck neighbor...

I get a knock on my door, and it's him! I'm pleasantly surprised that he's much younger than I remembered (somehow this makes it less creepy) He's very nice, and tells me....

"say, you got a boyfriend?"

I say "no, i broke up with him a week and a half ago....no, i don't want to date anyone right now....no, i don't want to go to the movies .....no, you don't need my number, we're neighbors...no, i don't need anything from the store"....

He very politely leaves....

fast forward 4 hours later...

*knock knock*
    It's after 1am, so I ignore it.......
                            *knock knock*
                                                *knock knock*

I finally come to the door, and he apologizes and hands me.....

A NOTE!!!!!

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what the note said.... verbatim (stop drinking anything... you might spew it everywhere!)

hey sexy lady how are you doing? Im alright that is if you want to know. First of Im not trying to make you uncomfartable, but I have hade a thing for you since the first day I saw you I just didn't know how to show it. Im sorry you and your boyfriend didn't make it. Please don't take any of this wronge. I myself feel that it is wronge for you to be alone. I can be your friend lover just put it like this I want to be any and everything other guys seem to miss or fail to do. I know how it feels to be hurt, but that doesn't mean that I'm gonna keep myself from being happy. Just give me a chance to show you that I can treat you like the QUEEN that you are. Good Bye

P/S Even if we can (I think he means CAN'T) go to the movies or anything like that or even call you Im still gona be here to listen and comfort you in any way.

I promise

Take care sweetness

Sorry to bother you But I had to let you know. Keep in touch

Have a goodnight

See you later.

Daddy

Daddy?! what the hell?! oh my goodness, I couldn't stop laughing. He MUST be in high school! He's very polite and seems very nice....I feel like writing him back with something like...

Do you like me? Circle
yes      no       maybe

I wonder how old he thinks I am!

Anyway, it sent me in a fit of giggles :) giggling is VERY GOOD

because any funny moment helps in times like these....a quick story...

i just met my new neighbor....he was sitting on his truck with his wife beater on, blasting r&b...He stared at my ass, or my boobs, or my elbows...or whatever the hell boys look at these days....I told him I'd just moved in...and he said

                             "I don't mean no disrespect, but you sexy"

oh lord...his first words couldn't be "hi" or "how are you?" or " I'm hungry"?  If you're gonna try to pick me up, here's a clue...USE PROPER GRAMMAR! Now it might have been different if he said "I hope my candidness doesn't offend you, but YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!" or "You will have to excuse me young miss, but i think you're sexy" (the latter is courtesy of my friend David...who later said "at least he didn't say "dayyyummm let me hit it" hah!)

ok, it probably wouldn't have been different....

*note to self* double lock doors

you gotta admit that's pretty funny...or maybe I should be scared...I'll go with funny, it'll help me sleep tonight :D

(actually, i think he's harmless)

I'm doing better, slowly...the "THING" was me, a certain boyfriend of over 4 years, and a breakup. yucky, messy, and most recently, UGLY. VERY UGLY! (I'm playing nice) yep. More on that later...maybe...well,  I could use all the wisdom i can get, and from experience I know that you knitters are some wise folk! ;) So we'll see...
