Pretty Potty Mouths and Inauguration Blues *Edit

Quote of the day:

Awww, thank you guys for being so concerned over me and Jonathan. I actually am not lol. We’ve had these type of arguments before, so I sort of know what to expect I guess. Every time I thought about the situation I just got upset, so I decided to leave it and him alone and take some time out for me, which is exactly what I did. One of my new years goals was to answer the phone every time it rings, and to go out with my friends more. Now that may seem silly to some, but honestly I abhor talking on the phone. However, in December a light bulb went off. I realized the reason my friends keep calling instead of texting me is because *gasp* they prefer to talk on the phone, especially when they can’t see me. Ok, so I won’t call them everyday, or every week, but I will call atleast monthly, and answer when they call. As for going out with my friends more, that started on Saturday.

 
*Edit* somehow a whole section of this got deleted! WTF??? Anyway,this is what happened – Saturday afternoon I met my friend Toya at my favorite brunch spot, Creme on U street. I was there a good 20 minutes before she got there. When she came in she was all flabbergasted. Apparently, she duked it out with two guys for a parking spot. The car was pulling out, she was in the lane next to it, and they were in the third lane. For some reason they got it in their heads that they were gonna cross two lanes to get a parking space.Uhh, that’ll be a negative. So she starts to back into the spot as they try to zoom in. Let the standoff begin. They called her all kinds of B’s – B this, B that, blah blah blah. The way she explained it? "These fags try to fight me for a parking space. I mean fags, like fags for real! I started to say you Rupaul lookin mf’er!". Errr, yeah,not very friendly or politically correct. She was so serious though. They said she better watch her car. She spit their license plates numbers at them and said huh, let something happen to my car! She had the hostess, and another woman watching her car. They said she handled it very well lol. After brunch, she asked me what I was up to. Since I didn’t have anything to do immediately, she asked me to join her at the mall. 
 
While we were driving to the mall, we were discussing the Inauguration and how we wish all the people that are coming into this town just wouldn’t lol. That sounds mean, but seriously, how friggin big do people think DC is??? It is small!!!! And they are letting too many friggin people come to the Inaugurationg. It’s gonna be a mess! For my local peeps, did you realize they are shutting down 395 North, I-66, and the 14th Street Bridge??? The hell! Do you realize we are going to be stuck in this city??? Literally??? And I feel so bad for those people who are staying places like Centreville, VA or Columbia, MD, getting suckered into some of the residential ads, and hotel ads stating it’s right outside of DC! Oh, it is…if you drive! You can’t metro it, and it’s going to be impossible to drive during the inauguration. I’m not ready honestly. ANNNDDD they past a law letting everyone drink until 5am!! Madness! The worse part is, us natives have to get on the metro with all the tourist who don’t know where the heck they’re going, or what they’re doing, so they hold up traffic by standing where they shouldn’t, and standing on the left side of the escalator when everybody here knows the rule is "stand to the right so others can walk on the left!" Ugh! Ok, let me move on and off of this little rant because I am beyond blown by what is about to happen here lol.
 
So anywho, I rush home from the mall, touch up my makeup, and then A finally makes it here. She’s late so we can’t go to the movie we were suppose to, so we decided to go to PF Changs at Ballston, and then the movies at Tysons. PF Changs was good but challenging. Again, I’m doing SBD, so it’s hard not to be able to get my favorite orange peel chicken! BUT, I made it through. I got the 5 spice ribs, and ahi tuna. The tuna was just bleh, ok, but the ribs were decent. It sucked not to have any sauce though lol. Can I just tell you all that The Curious Life of Bejamin Button is one of the BEST MOVIES EVER???? OMG! I’m so inlove with that movie. The story, the intricate weaving of it, complex characters, and great acting! I couldn’t ask for anything more. We were so sleepy when we left the theatre. The movie didn’t start until 11, and it let out at 2am! We came to my place and talked in the car. This friendship has gone through a lot in 6 years, but it’s resilient. It’s been battered and bruised, praised and celebrated, mourned, rejoiced, and we have been finding ourself in the middle lately. We arefinally opening up about why some things are the way they are. For instance, she judges me. She calls me prissy, uppity, blah blah blah. No, actually I’m very boughetto lol. Boughie and ghetto. I can flip on you in a minute! Also, I’ve studied the different classes in society so I know what’s considered high minded. While I do subscribe to some of those things, and I am an elitist in some areas, most I am not. I hold very high standards for myself, but I don’t care what the next person does. I may think a certain style for myself is trashy, but not feel that way if you wear it. A was judging me based on things like that. She thought the ideals I held for myself was what I put on everyone else around me. Ummm, no. I wouldn’t do that. We talked about a lot. A LOT. So much so that she ended up staying the uhhh morning lol because we got in at 5! I woke her up at 9:30 so she could go to Aunt Mary’s house and get dressed for church, and I could get dressed for church as well.
 
Tomorrow I will share what she text me, but this entry is long enough as it is. I will say that I briefly talked to Jonathan. I will see him on Tuesday probably. We’ll see how that goes. Love you guys!
