Digfiles: Episode 4

I adore Psych, Wednesday nights on USA. Shawn has to be the dumbest, most hysterical character ever in life. Quote of the night (after eating some kind of Japanese hotdog): "You know, you gotta give it to the Japanese, and not just because they invented the Chinese..." LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Honorable mention goes to: "So whats the deal, am I cuffing Charlotte the Harlot, or what?" LMAOOOOOOOO! Woo!

Ok maybe you had to be there LOL. ANYWAY...

.... had a really weird experience. One of my girls from college was in town. She called me last night, saying she wanted to come by and visit before she left, so Im like cool. She asked how long I would be up and I told her I would probably crash around midnight. Its like 9:00 at this time. Over the next couple of hours, a barrage of text messages and a couple of calls. First weird thing was her asking if I had cooked. Now thats not a weird question, per se, but the way she asked it was like the way some dude youre talking to would ask, like.... like you should have cooked, since they were coming LOL. At first I thought it was just a casual question like... she just wanted to know. Then when I said I had, but there wasnt any left, she said she would go grab some food and then come, and thats when I got that feeling.

So whatever.

Its 11:00 and she's still not here, but she's texting me about having finished her food and being on the way, when I thought she was planning to grab food and bring it with her. Fine, but Im dead tired by this time. 11:45 - text message saying she's about to put my address in the GPS and be here in 20 minutes. Well guess what, dude, I'll be sleep in 10. You BOUT TO put my address in the GPS? Just now, when I already told you I was going to bed at midnight? LOL Im already struggling to stay up and I gotta work in the morning. The point of my return text was "you aint leaving tonight, so Im goin to bed." Thats what I did. I just didnt get all the way to sleep before she got there at 12:05. Text message: "dang, you sleep?" Cell is ringing. I am sooooo not answering that shit. Voicemail - "yo, you sleepin? Damn. Im outside your house. I see all the lights are off, so I guess you really are sleep. Well.... ok.... I will try to catch up with you tomorrow....... *pause*...... but if you wake up in the next 10 minutes, give me a call and I can still see you."

10 minutes later, another phone call and similar voicemail, minus the 10 minutes part. I totally think she sat outside my house for that 10 minutes.

~ <--- raised eyebrow

This might be another situation where you just had to be present, but I felt like the chick that waited for some dude who was supposed to come thru, but never showed up ......*side eye* LOL...... then got tired of waiting and went to bed on principle LOL. Then dude shows up super late, completely disregarding the guidelines I set for said visit, then tried his hardest to get me to answer the phone and/or door and left the pitiful "thats cold" message on my voicemail like Im doing him wrong LOL. I really wish yall coulda heard this voicemail or saw the last couple of texts. It felt... uncomfortable.

Longer story shorter, she did end up coming by tonight and aside from a couple of suspect glares and a by-the-way mention of seeing somebody we know at Pride, which I think was a subliminal, it was fine. I should add that the kids were watching TV with us most of the time and Im not real sure how different it mighta gotten if they werent.

Now most people who knew this girl in college would say they always thought she liked girls, including myself, but I dont like to assume stuff about people and Im not in the business of asking people that. I feel like its a personal and sensitive thing, and its in poor taste to ask unless and until you are given the "in" to that conversation. That is, unless its a guy Im dating, who has some suspect tendencies, tryna bamboozle me LOL. Thats different. But I dig it otherwise - do your thing - I just dont like to be ambushed LOL.

See, I am no stranger to women hitting on me, but when its somebody youre cool with, I think a certain etiquette should be observed. You should make it known that you like girls. Be clear. Set the stage. If you dont do that, and you just start making eyes and saying slick shit, youre likely to get a knee-jerk reaction like "WTF???" where it could have been flattery, even if youre turned down. In this case, it was a lost cause regardless - if Ima go that route, she would not make the cut. But I think what disturbed me about it is that I was always giving her the benefit of the doubt so I wasnt prepared for the weirdness I observed in her behavior and commentary. Part of me still wants to attribute it to like.... lack of sleep or something LOL. I think everything was kinda subjective and circumstancial, so I dont wanna pull out my label tape, but the situation just made me think about it, in general. Ladybugs, dont ambush your friends. Its just rude LOL.
