Sigh.....

-I read my last post. Apparently I didn't proofread at all. Sorry ya'll.

-The first round of grad apps have been submitted, I suppose me transcripts are still in the mail.
....continued GMAT prep awaits me.


The pumping machine had another snafu today. By that I mean a pipe dislodged itself, there by launching me into Dirty Kitchen Water Mopping III.
Try wringing out a skanky oil and water drenched rag without getting your forefingers wet. Go ahead. I'd like to see if you fared better than I.

...Cut my finger on a MILO tin this morning, hungry scamp I must be. I'm trying to gain weight, rare as it may be. For those of you who don't know what I look like, well, take my word for it.

Where was I? Water.
My neighbor got all ancy on account of water dripping from his walls, caused my yours truly, the Cause of the Kitchen Flooding, Neighbor vexing mayhem - according to my Dad. I 'shouldn't leave the pump running incessantly'. Gotcha. Never mind that I was told to put it back on. Disregard the fact that the pipe was 'mended' poorly instead of replaced.
The tank
is meant
to OVERFLOW.
That's the way of things. Turn on the pump. Tank overflows. = Tank is full. Why mess with such simple logic? Pipes are meant to channel water along, not quit all willy nilly.


I had a conversation the other day, would you like an excerpt?

Boyo - so any guy in action now
~Bee - 'In action', you're funny.
Boyo - u knw wot i mean abi
~Bee - I know, its just funny.
Boyo - soo
~Bee - Anyway, there is no law that I need a boyfriend.
Boyo - everyq needs
~Bee - Really? So who's your girlfriend?
Boyo - hope u no go vex#
Boyo - ya sis
~Bee - Why would I vex?
~Bee - My sister ko, my aunti ni
Boyo - how far nah weo dey marry ya sis. but frankly speaking dnt u thin am a husband material. 4get the past c me now
~Bee - What?
~Bee - I'm saying, I'm 100% sure you're not my sisters boyfriend.
Boyo - y u say so
~Bee - So are you saying you dont have a girlfriend, or you dont want to tell me?
~Bee - ..I would know, duh.
Boyo - lol
Boyo - am just taking my time. u knw the time has past where u just want gurls for thier body. i cant do dat again u knw. so any lady i would get nw is to marryyy oooo
~Bee - ok
Boyo - and i must marry a virgin too
~Bee - Funny
~Bee - Guys are just funny.
Boyo - wots funny about dat
~Bee - A guy will go through a phase of wanting to hit anything in a skirt, and then when they want to get married, they start looking for virgins.
~Bee - So who marries those other girls?
Boyo - n dats y girls shld keep dem sefs knwing this truth about guys.
~Bee - Girls should keep themselves from knowing the truth about guys, or they should find out as soon as possible?
Boyo - fing out asp. but u knw its the truth. most guyw alwys wnt to settle with virgins.
~Bee - Anyway, no one ever said life was fair.
Boyo - but in mst cases, it is the lady who wants 2 have a taste of how it is to have sex. most times they beg the guy for it or make the proposals
~Bee - It stems from misinformation. If it was very clear from the onset that people want to marry virgins or sex before marriage isn't the best thing, it would be the rule as opposed to the exception.
Boyo - u agree with me shey


I just wonder where that last statement came from. Ever talk to someone and realize that they are not quite listening? Yeah.


--In other news, I’ve been terribly interested in what’s going on with my hair of late. I decided to ‘go natural’ last summer, toyed with the idea of dreads and recently thought of cutting it. Like off, like the default for black models.

So I told two of me closest boy pals. They said they’d disown me if I did it, and practically asked my why I was depressed.

Like one’s emotional state effects what they do to their hair? Anyway, if I was unstable, would I ask for opinions? Hello.

So, I’m supposed to be depressed. I guess no work (dear God, let my PPA not mess me up for too much longer), staying at home all day and attempting to study while trying not to spontaneously combust (on account of the boredom) should make me depressed?

Maybe.


I wrote something yesterday and erased it. Something along the lines of:

I’m looking for silver linings, rainbows and light at the end of tunnels.

I’m looking happy endings and it tires me.


-Hope alls more Bright and Shiny for you all that it is for me.
-Honestly.

Alas the young bee has written, alas i have read.... if we are nothing but pencils in the hands of the creator, then should we be happy with what we do or what he does with us? It therefore follows that we should let him do and just st back and be happy.

Lol!
Today, I was talking to a collegue who is getting married this weekend.
he proudly told me his wife is a virgin and they've been dating for 3 years.
When i asked if he had been celibate for the 3 years, dude said he hasnt, he had been sleeping with other women. Can you imagine?

This "men are dogs" song should really become the official woman's anthem. Its been sung to death. Much as I admit that we as men are a generally randy species I never cease to wonder how we can have such an oversupply of shagging partners and still be the ones being called names. I mean, warnings have been passed down from mother to daughter for every age since Eve got suckered! For Christ's sake what more "enlightenment" do you need? It's easy to condemn poor Boyo, but what about the countless girls that spend their entire youth "having a blast" and then latch onto some hapless lad when the crow's feet start getting too visible? Give us a darned break. And FYI I know a number of guys who're the virgins in their relationships. For all those whose sensibilities might be hurt by any of my words, lighten up. In the end, Chicks Rule!!! hehehe

Unbiased said…
hiss @ I want to marry a virgin. Oniranu nla!!
Imagine o!! After raiding the worlds honey. Not only should he forget the virgin thing he should pray that someone like him doesn't prey on his daughters. (Sad part is some unsuspecting virgin will still have him. Hissssss again).
I hate the double standards of the world.
On the hair thingy, i dont know. I have given up on it. I do something when i have to go out and leave it to fallow the rest of the time. lol!!
guys! i'v given up trying to figure them out ages ago!
