Men are Scum

I just can’t believe him sometimes. My mother called Manny to come over so she could show him what she wanted him to do. And I told her I didn’t want to see him. It tried to escape to Kaba’s but she wasn’t home. So I just hid in my room. Well when he got here, my mom was on the phone. Which I did know, but he wasn’t my guest and I told her I didn’t want to see him. But he took it on himself to come down to my room. He’s like hi what’s going on, haven’t seen you in a while. Well duh I’ve been away and I actually have a job. He asked what was up. I told him I was tired and I wanted to go to bed. Which wasn’t true, but I just wanted him to leave. So he said oh, are you ok. And I said yeah I’m just tired and want to change. So he turns his back. And I’m like, uhh no – I’m changing. Leave. He really ticked me off. I didn’t invite him over. My mother did. And I’m pissed at her for expecting me to entertain HER guests. And then he had the audacity to call me that night around 10:30. I was in bed almost asleep and my phone rang. He wanted to talk. I told him I was almost asleep and I had work the next day. He said he did too. Which is true but he can basically show up when he wants, which my mom said 10:30 but whos to call him on it if he’s not there till noon. I have to get up at 7 (which isn’t really that early, but in comparison) and go to work. And I can’t see him working from 10:30 until 6:30 – the same number of hours I work. And I could care less that he’s doing manual labor and I’m typing. He has physical stress and I have mental stress. Its still stress. I really didn’t want to deal with him yesterday cause I wasn’t in the mood. I mean if he had needed me (which he never will admit that he does) I would have been there. But if he just wants to shoot the breeze, I don’t want to. I’ll pick a fight and I’m trying to avoid doing that. Mr. I’m-So-Intune-With-What-You-Are-Thinking. If you knew what I was thinking, even if you didn’t know the reason why, you should have figured out I didn’t want to talk to you. But of course, I’ll be the bitch for ignoring him. I could really care less right now. I’m PMSing like mad and men are scum. Which is why I’m avoiding them.

I’m even kinda avoiding Mike. Not really badly. Just not talking to him for long, cause one – I don’t particularly talking on the phone to him and two – I know I’m PMSing, so why chance some stupid fight. But I did talk to him yesterday. He’s going to try and see if he wants to buy John’s car. John had called me to see if I knew anyone who wanted to buy it. And then two days later, Mike told me he was looking for a car. So perfect. Except that John will meet Mike. Not sure how I like that idea, but too late. Mike was sweet last night though. And his answering machine is annoying. Brian recorded with one of those “Hello?…..Hello?…..Oh yeah we’re not here…” things. Caught me the first time. He and Mike were at the pool hall, which makes me want to go play now. But he asked if I was ok, cause he said I sounded a little stressed. I told him besides the usual work stress, there was the Manny incident. He kinda laughed and said that really sucks. He’s not like overly sympathetic, but it makes me not wallow in it as much. And Kaba had called back when Manny was there, so I freaked out with her on the phone. It helped me calm down. And talking to Mike usually always puts me in a better mood. I think part of it is the fact that I don’t talk to him that often, so when I do, its more special. I remembered to ask him how much he had told Brian about me. And he said he told Brian that I was a girl he was seeing up here and he said Brian is not stupid. Its just nice to know how much excatly Brian knows. And he told him Maggie was going down to the city for the weekend and he was going to spoil her. But he was coming up on Sunday for sure and he would take me and her out to eat. Shocked me when he said both of us. I asked if I should be nervous about meeting his sister and he said no. But I still am for two reasons.

First, I know the little sister feelings toward my big brother’s girlfriend. Especially since I know she adores him. She won’t want to share him. I know this, whether he knows it or not. Its just the way little sister and big brother relationships are. And especially because she’s so young. She’ll act that way with or without knowing it. I just know it. But I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt and let her prove me wrong cause thats what I do. Secondly, I’ve asked him if I could met his mother and grandmother. He said he doesn’t tell them anything cause they just get annoying and he’s protecting me from his mother. I know he’s mentioned me to his brother cause he said his brother remembers me. Scary But I don’t know how much his brother knows. I also don’t know how much he’s told his sister. But he said that he usually doesn’t introduce girlfriends and such to his family cause then they ask about the girl and sometimes it doesn’t work out and it just causes him aggrevation to have to explain what happened. And then to tell me he’s letting me meet his sister. When I really haven’t been pushing for it. It just makes me think about how serious he’s starting to take this relationship. I know Brian wants to met me cause he keeps asking me when I’m coming down to visit them. That or else he just misses Mike that much when he comes up here. Uh-huh sure. I don’t know. I do want to go down, but I’m focusing on meeting his sister first. Nervous nervous nervous. But I’m really trying not to let it bother me. He adores his sister so I think it will be ok. But I know his sister comes before me and I really wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ok enough, generalization of the day is men are scum. I scared my boss with that cause I said it right as he walked into the kitchen. Oh well. He’ll get over it. Amusing though.
