Friends, how many of us have them?
So today was sort of a friend-a-palooza of sorts, which was nice compared to my usual Sunday of solitude. It was a nice change.
My day started with an unexpected phone call from one of my favoritest people. Angel. It was nice to hear her cheery voice on the other end of the phone. As always, we picked right up where we left off 4 months ago, talking for about 2 hours about anything or everything. I really do miss talking to her on a daily basis, but I assure myself that this is a sneak preview of things to come when she moves back to the states! :)
Speaking of states, more specifically the state of Washington, I decided to give Daniel a call to speak more about my upcoming visit to Seattle. You have no idea how pumped I am for this WAY overdue vacation. Vacations for me are not all about physical relaxation. If anything, it's a mental checkout. An escape from all the things that has made me unhappy (my job, men, etc.), in an effort to focus on what I really want out of life.
Speaking of, I am fortunate that I realized early on that what I wanted did not include a friendship with Knowledge. And it has worked out fine with him not being in my life. But every now and then I receive a text from him indicating that he's thinking about me or misses me. Of coarse I'm always polite and respond that I'm doing well, because, well, that's the truth and I leave it like that. Short and sweet. But yesterday he actually called me and it's hard to fake interest in someone who you don't find the slightest bit interesting. Not only that, Knowledge is incredibly clueless. It's like he lives in some sort of weird fantasy world, in which he truly sees himself as someone he really isn't. I know that may come off as extremely rude and critical, but that has seriously been my experience with him.
He did try is best to seem a bit more interesting although he failed miserably. It was a good laugh nonetheless. Not only did he promote himself during conversation by randomly stating that he was now single (I never asked and don't care by the way) but he basically asked me out for dinner and a movie. Um. No. What's with this guy not understanding the concept of friends? Or I guess at this point, understanding that we don't even have that type of relationship anymore? I equate it to all he wants to do is to get in my pants. I equate it to him being lonely, horny, and desperate. BELIEVE ME he's stated this MULTIPLE times during our "run" together. Well, I'll pass. After experiences with fooling around with him, I wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole. He's hairy, sweaty, and his "I can taste the pork on your skin" religious bull shit was a MAJOR turn off. But that wasn't even the funny part. Did you know that Knowledge is a fashion designer/inventor/musician/healer/educator and that he will become a millionaire by the time he's 30 (mind you he's 29)? Now sure, it's awesome to be ambitious when you have the talent and ideas to tackle the certain bumps in the road.. but when the boy is claiming he's inventing shit that's already been invented or diving into music when his voice is pretty sublime and his piano playing skills are horrendous... I mean, the boy is pretty delusional. And I promise I will eat my words if he does achieve his goals. Cross my heart.
At the end of the day I hung out with Katie and Elizabeth which was nice. I always feel bad hanging out with them because I'm always broke as a joke. Today highlighted this fact by me sipping on liquor that they provided and munching on their free fries at Red Robin. It's just that with things slowing down at work and this apartment situation sucking all my money away, I've been struggling the past few weeks. But this weekend definitely acted as a distraction.
All in all, this weekend was well spent :)
