Bet y'all thought this was going to be about America or freedom or some shit. It's not. Haha! Fooled you!
So tomorrow is the great 4th of July, and my mother and I are going to two, check it: TWO parties tomorrow. One is our family party, which we're kind of obligated to go to. The second one is my pastor's family's party. Now this wouldn't be awkward if that's all it was. But it's also the pastor's son's and daughter's birthdays. They're nine years apart, and they were born on the same day. How awesome is THAT? Anyway, I'm invited to this little birthday bash, and I'm not sure Steven's girlfriend is invited.
There wouldn't be any reason for her not to be, really. Just the fact that maybe some members of Steven's family aren't that fond of the GF, but if it's his birthday celebration he can invite whoever he wants, right? I'm hoping that's the truth, because I'm not down for hearing his family talk about how wonderful I am and how he needs to "get with the picture" and just date me. As I've specified several times, that's dead and gone. There was a chance; it didn't work out. It's never coming back.
But I was texting the GF and she was really curt. Like, to the point of bitchy, and I wasn't sure what I'd done. I asked her and she said if she was mad and it was worth mentioning that she'd tell me. That makes me think that she's mad about something but isn't going to talk about it because she doesn't think it's a big enough deal to mention it to me. So I thought and thought about what it could be, and the only thing I could think of what that she wasn't invited to the birthday party.
I wasn't even invited by Steven. His parents invited me because they wanted me and my family to come and visit them. I think that that distinction should mean something. But maybe that's why she's mad, if she's mad about this at all. The fact that his family likes me so much could be problematic, but I promise I'm not into him. You can have him, honey. He obviously makes you happy, and I'm not about to open that can of worms. I know what it feels like to have your man ripped out from under you, and I've promised to never do that to anyone, regardless of who they are or how much I want the person they're with. And in the GF's case, I don't want her man at all. Moved on to better things.
I really don't want this to become a thing where we fight over it, because I'll be 100% done with the conversation before it even starts. Her beef shouldn't be with me. I didn't do anything but bond with his family, because he's got an awesome family and I like adopting awesome families as my own. I'm up to three now, and I'm pleased with my collection.
In fact, my life is going really well. I've been interviewed for two positions, and I'm fairly certain I'll get an offer by next week. My family is slowly but surely mending itself and we're all getting closer. Now all I need is to fix my relationship with my friends. One close friend has stopped talking to me altogether. It's been almost two months and I haven't heard anything from him. My friendship with Steven and the GF has become strained, and we all know what happened with the Marine. I don't have many friends, and I don't want to lose any of them.
Anyway, that's all I have for this blog post. I'm actually tired, as weird as that is. It's not even midnight and I'm ready to shut out the world. Guess that's what I'll do.
Ta, loves!
