friends


I hadn't blogged much this week for once because I freaked myself out at just how often I was blogging. But here I am. Yes, I am "out here" Amanda:) Emily so is this a sheek thrift store,antique or is it new clothes? Yes, I remember back in the day when I was in retail how hard it sometimes was to be passionate about whatever it was I was suppose to be selling. Drugs help. (j/k of course)
So when you say you spent the week with this "boy" you are speaking of while being at work, Correct ? If it had been hanging out with him elsewhere, you would already be doing what you are trying to gear up to do. So Im gonna guess " a week together at the store" Now, hmmm making friends.... Most of the "friends" you make are "boys" (when I say that I feel like Im in 7th grade) Which use to be my style too but as we discussed the baton fully belongs to you. so really there is another dynamic usually thrown in. Attraction and a certain kind of intrigue that very often we rather not have ruined by too much reality...We both know....and oh do I know from my recent experiences....that it is usually impossible (and I always argued with my dad on this one) for people of the opposite sex to be JUST friends. There is usually something on one or both of the sides....So I propose to you that making a new friend (a woman/girl) can be quite a dance as well. Just some girl off the Cleveland or Chicago streets that you find intriguing and such.....talking to her...maybe hitting it off .....and proposing you see eachother again....how do you do THAT without one thinking the connection desired is more than just trying to evolve from strangers to friends...
I had an experience last week....lets just say...I met a woman at happy hour. her and I hit it off. I don't know anyone around here and was bored...she is a mother of an adorable 5 yr old special needs boy.She spoke of how badly they needed a nanny that could understand him...I gave her a number that could hopefully help. I said I was hungry she said she was too but her husband works 3rd shift and she had to get home to her son. Her friday nite was gonna consist of making chicken wings for herself and having some drinks while taking care of her son. She said I was more than welcome to come over and have chicken wings,drinks and meet her son that we spoke so much about. So I thought for a second...What the heck....I said yes, I havent had much excitement lately. This is quite spontaneous and others my think down right crazy. WELL A sista knows how to cook mmm mmmm mmmm....we had black cherry vodka and pepsi... her son and I hit it off...I wish he could get the proper help he needs. So we were just chillin.....and then ....I was clued in that she may be a tad drunk and feeling a little less straight then when I met her a few hours ago....I think she wanted a lil more...ETC....so much for a new friend....But damn were those chicken wings goooood!;) (now now, have some confidence in me....no I havent called her since;)

p.s....Dont get me wrong Em This was not a message of encouragement in trying something new! ...stick to your "friends" of the male persuasion. Then I don't have to wonder where I stand....I know you'll have your lil stage crush on an artichoke or two...but your "happy place" resides right her in cleveland;)
