A Special Honor

That's exactly what I received. The year hasn't exactly started off on a good note for me (although I remain optimistic that this is just temporary). But tonight, I felt good for the first time in a while. TD and I headed for a bite to eat at DragonFly which is a nice place with a cozy atmosphere. We hadn't hung out since right before the holidays and even though we talk almost daily, it was good to actually sit face to face , share a meal and talk. We were conversating about everything that's taken place in our lives within the last couple of weeks when suddenly, TD asked me a question that totally took me by surprise- "Will you be an attendant in my wedding?"

I thought to myself, did I just hear her correctly? Sure enough, she wanted ME to be a part of HER wedding! To say that it was an honor to be asked is putting it very mildy. I just hope that I do her proud on the most important day of her life. Wow!

Weird? Who's Weird?

So, my friend TD has tagged me in this game where I am supposed to confess five weird things about myself. After giving this much thought (because I really don't consider myself weird. Different, maybe.), here is what I was able to come up with -

• I absolutely hate it when someone looks over my shoulder while I'm reading. I don't care whether it's an article, newspaper, book whatever. If your ass didn't help me purchase it, what the hell makes you feel that I need help reading it?
• I HAVE to sleep on the right-hand side of the bed (the left if you're facing it). It's been a quirk for as long as I can remember. No matter if I'm sleeping alone or with someone, if I'm not on that side of the bed, it ain't poppin.' I've tried the be versatile shit and wound up not sleeping for almost an entire night. Never again.
  
• Repeating myself is an all-time no no. Hate it. Always have, always will. If you're deaf, then you receive an instant pass. If I'm speaking and a loud-assed truck rolls by, then maybe. If not, then motherfucker open your ears.
  
• I guess this is because of my financial background but whenever I'm calculating something, I have to check it at least three times no matter what it is. Yeah, what?
• For most people that I know, when something is troubling them (work, relationships, money)they will try to comfort themselves by eating a little more and sleeping a little less. I am the exact opposite. When I'm stressed, I starve myself and sleep for days hoping that the answers to all of my troubles will somehow materialize in my dreams. *Sigh* I may lose a couple of pounds and be well-rested but the shit is still there.

There you have it! Hopefully, I've passed the initiation into weirdism.
