Of crushes & relationships, part 1...
Hey blogger world, the way I always feel like I have this reader audience eh, haha, anywho, I'm just watching the end bit of Criminal Minds and it's this adrenaline pumping, blood rushing, heart racing, palm sweating episode...k, I just about sound like one of those English to Luganda translators narrating a movie, lol but it's tight, this psychopath is trying to outplay the FBI, like dude but it looks like he really got game and some really crazy stuff at that...I can't even type, one second, k now I'm really hooked, it's definitely goin to be another fave for those borin Wednesday nites...
Anyway, today was one of those blah-ish days and I'm in one of those moods, reminiscing about the past, my relationships to be specific...oohhhh, I can imagine some people's eyes widening at this, the sheer anticipation for some possibly juicy sagas, y'all know who u are, lol...anywho, I never for once though I'd be brave enough to venture into writing on such a personal topic being the private person that I think I am but I guess never say never...I have a friend doing a magazine and this month's edition is mainly about relationships so that's what probably got me started and he was being silly, too like saying that he doesn't know what exactly to write about since he thought relationships just meant ships that were related, lol...like apparently the Titanic and the Queen Mary had it goin on, like what the? Well, he's obviously been taking a whole lotta happy juice lately or some, nah, but it's quite interesting looking back on stuff, taking that whole trip down memory lane is always one hell of a ride...the good times, the not so good and all the memories that make the ride worthwhile! Yup, and that's it folks, lol, I can so picture y'all seething with anger, like that was it? Well, you didn't expect me to dish out on my personal life like that on herre now...geez, check out People magazine or some if u lookin for that kinda stuff, haha...okay, I kid, if you really don't mind taking a lil trip down memory lane, then buckle up and enjoy the ride, lol, k maybe I might be the one taking some of that happy juice...
Nyhow, where do I begin? Hmmmmm, I think I'll start right from my first 'real' relationship which was when I was about 15, okay atleast it was the first guy I liked that I actually had a real conversation with and not run away at the sight of...(don't you just cringe when you remember your first crush and all that silly stuff you did, lol...) I was extremely shy, like I would literally run away from guys who approached me so needless to say my first couple of crushes, more like all of em were fruitless, even though there was this one that had been a classmate in primary school then after meeting again a couple years later, kinda flirted with and wrote each other letters, this of course being the only way to communicate since we attended different schools and for me that was a huge step like we might have as well been dating coz on top of being really shy I'm terrible at letter writing, like I can count the number of letters I've hand-written and posted on one hand, almost...but since I liked this guy, it became a hobby so we'd write each other, song dedications and all, lol...just writing this is cracking me up...I remember clearly, Boys II Men, R. Kelly, u know those romantic songs of back in the day, stuff was off the hook...anyway, at the time having a real relationship was like way down on my priority list so somehow it just ended like that even though funily enough, we ended up getting in touch again, years later and actually dated for awhile and then broke up and sadly it was one of those endings where you don't realize what you have until you've lost it but I moved on and the rest is history...looking back I actually think of all the people I've dated, my history with this person has definitely been the longest, you know those people that keep popping back into your life, so I guess he'll always have a special place in my heart...awww, y'all better be feeling some emotion about now coz I'm getting all teary eyed, lol...
Nyway, back to the first relationship already, lol, major side-tracking or what but this one was hilarious, we were in the same class and were really good friends, he was like the class clown so I really found it hard to take him seriously which ironically is what I think kinda helped me get over my shyness and somehow give the whole thing a try...so, we started 'going out', he played basketball so he gave me his jersey to wear, which was a big deal back then, lol, it's funny what was considered really dating, eh, then we used to meet up before prep, after dinner and talk in class, and my school had entertainment every Saturday night which was usually a movie so this made for our weekly 'dates', it was actually quite romantic when I look back at it, dinner and a movie, lol...yah, so we sat together, held hands and that's all we did really, okay and maybe a goodnite peck after the movie...then we called each other up over the holidays and rarely ever met up coz those days I was pretty much grounded at all times, not because I was bad or anything either, just the perils of having an old school, conservative, tough lovin daddy which might have not been such a bad thing I guess, looking back on it now, I never thought I'd ever say that, ohh, it's 3am, damn, somebody's passed her insomnia on to me, I'll have to continue this next time...I hope y'all aren't nodding off already, haha, hey, I ain't no Spike Lee or some cool movie producer nor acclaimed writer for that matter so deal with it, this is my story, hahaha, k, peace & love y'all and keep posted for part 2...Blessings!!!
