no damn sense

My girl OneChele, over at Black 'n Bougie, sometimes has to call Bullshiggity on things that happen in her life. Here at Makes No Sense, I'm calling No Damn Sense. Let me explain....

So things are going great with the girlfriend (we started using titles last weekend), and I was telling my roommate about this person. You know, excluding the fact that she is a she. My roommate then goes on a rant about how she is older than I and has more degrees and has been single longer than I and that it is not fair that I have found somebody. I thought it was typical "I'm so jealous of you but I'm happy for you cause we are friends" banter. I just kinda laughed it off, I mean we have joked like this before.

Yeah, but....

I recently got my old job back (with a promotion and pay rise, yay me). So, I'm thinking I can hold down the fort until she gets a job since I know she is actively looking. She had me in the past so I got her now. Right?? Hell naw! She drops me off at work on Friday and tells me she will come back and pick me up at 3:00. No problem.

Tell me why...

Her ass ain't come pick me up. It's Friday. On a college campus. At the beginning of fall break. So I don't have to tell you that the campus was beyond dead. I'm like how the hell I'm I going to get home. Mind you, she is not answering my calls or texts. I'm standing outside weeping cause I don't know what's going on. Then, one of my professors happens to be walking her dog on campus and sees me standing there crying. And she knows something is wrong cause the kid don't cry in public.

She offers to take me home. So I get home and the roommate and her stuff is gone. That's right, gone! So I'm calling her and of course she ain't answering. So I call the gf, boo-whooing. She is pissed. Cussing like a sailor, but not in a good way. She finally calms down and tells me it's going to be okay. She says you got one day to cry after that put your big girl panties on and deal with it. So, that's what I did.

I have never been so glad to see a Monday morning. I got my rent reduced since it's just me. I'm working on picking up some holiday work. And have enlisted the help of some really good friends to help me out till I can get on my feet. I feel like my life is pursuit of happyness meets diary of a mad black woman. But, hey, if they did it then I can do it! I missed my bus this morning and had to take a taxi to work. Costly mistake! Bet that won't happen again. Anywho, things are looking up.

I haven't heard from the former roommate, but I'm pretty sure that's a good thing. Because we rolled so tight people keep asking me about her. So that's super annoying but it's all good. I know we are all struggling with the whole being a gay Christian thing but I gotta tell you faith is what is going to get me through this. I have no doubt God loves me with my lesbian self.

Thanks for letting me rant. I gotta admit, this situation makes

No. Damn. Sense.

  1. I was reading your post literally with my jaw dropped. I am sorry that happened to you. The worst part for me in reading this was she was supposed to be your friend... Well, I am glad everything is working out. Your girlfriend gave you some good advice. She let you have your time to cry, but then told you to suck it up and deal. Keep her around! :) Talk to you later!

    Yea, girl. We been friends for like 4 years. We even moved from GA to SC together. I thought she was my girl. But, it's all good. The gf is the truth. She gave me exactly what I needed, which included a swift kick in the pants, so hopefully she'll let me keep her around for a long while.
