5 Months Later...


Being of the year I lost her (Wandi) to the soil. She passed on the first week of the year. Since we were not the greatest (closest) of terms her death shocked me none the less, and given that were supposed to be meeting to get good platonic term again did not help the matter.   She will forever   haunt me; if anything she will go down as of the most dominating figures that shaped me. Funnily enough the whole of last year we spent doing things to spite each other, and in retrospect we could have just sat down ironed our things out and become friends (then again it would be very uncharacteristic of charged relationship).  So let her beautiful soul rest in peace and where ever she is hope is good place, for she deserves nothing better… 
So the year started with me bumping into the harsh reality of life; life is too short and you never know what tomorrow will bring. After this big Ahh” moment I decided to slow down again. I shed a lot of things that connected me with joburg. I wanted a new start, a new break, and new friends.  Looking back I now realise I had them as friends because I wanted them to define me “you are the company you keep” it’s been said.  Not that I did not fit I just got tired of the gimmicks, the drama and constant bullshitting….So for the past 7 months it’s been good. NO personal drama. Good friends. I still hate school but I’m getting by well. I’m still in love with my parents and my sister. My weight is still undecided. And i finally dyed my hair (Yeaah!!!!).  So all in all it is been great.  Small Heaven I declare, stamp and sealed and signed. 
I know why I’m blogging? Well today my dear beloved marks the day (a 5 month ago) that universe showed its powers. A day that fate showed its cute face (its round, it’s got freckles and lazy mouth).  Yep I got have stare down with fate, it won by the way because I said yes to do on a blind date. Yes a blind date. In my case since I knew who was going to be sitting across table from me- which should tell you I have super natural powers- the blind date meant that I had trouble envisioning what our first date would be like. I mean this was my first not so blind date but it was daunting; I’m not one for surprises of this kind, I like to know which material (script) to use. You never know these days with people being overly sensitive about politics, money, weight, and childbirth. I would like to know which personality trait should shine above others; should I act as if I know a lot about everything or should act like a dumb wit, should use dry humour to test their intelligence or keep at the primary  talking animals jokes, should I act like love struck puppy or should I play hardball and be unaffected the sheer pleasure of their presence at the table, do I bring my wallet or do I conveniently forget mine at home…  I need to know should and should-not’s before the waiter ask us are we ready to order.
 Like if I were to be asked question like “so what do think Barack Obama?”  There can be one or two answers to this depending on the person. 1. I think he should not be in the running in the election because of lack of leadership skills or for his gross mishandling of the Gulf oil-leak crisis. 2. I like him.  You see my point.  
Well as blind dates or not-so-blind dates goes, I would give this a respectable 8.5 out 10. Firstly I woke with a moerse hangover, trust you me hangovers and nerves don’t go well together.  I made to it the meeting place in blue polka dot dress (I figured let me dress-up for once), with no appetite and bucket full of patience (she was an hour late). When she eventually appeared she got me drunk and I loosened up. We talked about nothing at all, I just remember is that I she was she best company I’ve had in a long while… 

Well it’s been 5 months and nothing has happened. Who’s to blame I figure it’s me.  The poor child has done nothing wrong but be herself. Since I know no-one is going be judgemental and if you are I don’t care, y’all are more screwed up than I am, I’m going tell you why I’m to blame.  This is classic case of ‘getting bored easily’, but since it’s me we talking about this statement don’t apply to me. I don’t get bored easily. It’s true.  I don’t like this statement, because people normally use this statement to get out of relationship easily, and not those types of peoples.
Let me set the record straight, she is awesome person.  She the total opposite of what I’m, yes I know opposite attract and live in harmony together. Like everyone else she has flaws, and they slowly but surely they getting to me.  Before I start listing her flaws let list first and then we compare which are justifiable.  
I’m not totally out yet; I’m up for the discussion of how, where, and when (if get my drift), whilst she rocking that I’m gay so what attitude. Hey I say kudos to her, but for now understand that not everyone is in the secret of why I hang with gay people.  While I’m a open book with blank pages, she is tightly closed volume with useful information to make the world understand her. Bra all I’m asking is your hopes and dreams and life story, cause I don’t believe that someone has lived up your age don’t have a story to tell. While in my case I prefer telling what one wants to hear. Trouble she learnt that I say a whole shit without saying anything at all, so she on one woman mission to find my core. I don’t have a core, and even if I do have one I don’t believe anyone in their right mind would find it interesting than it is disappointing, or is shocking. I would know because I don’t like digging deep within myself. So don’t ask me to go deep i hate it there, I know it’s unfair. Then in defence bra if won’t be vulnerable, why should i.  I can go on, but I don’t have the whole day I’m suppose to be typing an assignment (s).
  I will leave you with this, as I writing the piece it become apparent to me that It’s not that I don’t like her, is not I would not date her, is not that she not girlfriend material, Its that she not my type…
  
  Unfair .Shocking.Selfish. Insensitive. Disappointing. Immoral. I did say my core don't look good.
