Ode to Delmario (my secret lover)
This post is just a lil personal something for my dear friend Delmar. Altho I am so far away from you, and sometimes I feel like we barely communicate (cuz we didn't until recently) I just want to take a sec to reflect on what was a very special friendship for me......Here we go
I just got back from my study abroad in Japan and it was my senior year. I was slim, trim, and oh so fab, and I was determined to make my senior year my best one ever. In comes Delmar. A sophomore light skinned cutey who was almost as fab and I. He was my RA......We hit it off pretty quick, prob cuz I kept harrassin him with my problems and knockin on his door. Man, Delmar, you were one of my best friends, and you really made my senior year the best it could be. I never really told you how much your friendship meant to me, but it did, and it does.
If you are still reading this far, I suppose this is just to honor such a good friend, cuz they are few and far between. Often we take things for granted, and never realize a good thing when its in our face. So this post is just to recognize not only a good person, but an awesome friend. If you have someone like that, please just give them a shout out, or a thank you!
So a few short stories about this delmar cat. He swear he the coolest kid on the block. And frankly he is. I found myself jealous of his popularity at times. He is just so cool, that he knew everyone and everyone liked him. I wish I could be that outgoing at times, but those who know me know that I need to get comfy with folks before I open up to them. But Delmar, def one of the cool kids.
I remember when my mom helped me buy a car (ok, you could basically say she bought it). It was in NY in the shop, and I was in school in OH. It was ready and I had to fly to NY and was plannin on driving 8 hours to OH over the weekend. Some idiot got my hopes up and said he wanted to come, but at the last min cancelled cuz his moms was like nah you cant go. So Delmar, being the good friend he is, jumped on the band wagon and got a ticket to NY (which I paid half for come to think of it). We partied in The Village were the sweet meat hangs out with my sis. We drank ate, and had a good time.
And I cant forget the countless times I came to his room asking stupid guy questions, or complaining about my love life. I was one of the hottest chicks on campus (if not the hottest) and i had dudes (and chicks) all over me. Naturally I had a few probs and Del was always there to help and vice versa. My most fondest memories of Del tho, were when we were talkin bout fashion, schemin on ways to get to the mall, or buy new clothes, or puttin on mini fashion shows in his room.
Then we really stepped our game up and hosted a charity event on campus. I mean we was straight legit. We did a lil dance performance in the beginning, outfit changes, funny skits. I mean we was better than the damn MTV awards. We rehearsed in his room plenty of times, tryna make our skits hilarious. We pulled it off too.
So Del, you better be reading this. This is just a lil something to let you know how I feel. I truly do love you. When we were together, we were a damn riot. You always had me laughing. You is cool as a fan, and such a good person. I truly did appreciate the time we spent together my senior year, cuz they were some of my best. Well anyway, im in Europe now, and you are all the way in the states, and I keep having the damnest feeling like we will lose contact. But if that happens, I just want you to know that I do love you.
Oh, and that night we partied like rock stars with ben and marcy.....hahahahaha *never forgotten*
Oh and gossipin about other folks......pics to follow

Old Stuff
I'm sure Jordan will appreciate this since that was her hackin up her lungs in the background.....ENJOY!
For Shits and Giggles.....
Because I have absolutely NOTHING else to do in my spare time, I figured, why not this:
There is more to come, so keep your eyes open.....
Oh Really?
So in the creepy old man news of the day (cuz I seem to attract them like magnets) I got a quick story for you all. I live about 2 steps from the pazar and I usually only buy cheese, potatoes and eggs from there cuz the big supermarket is pretty close to me. So there is this guy who I see often. I went to buy eggs one day and he asked what my name was and where I was from, and mentioned how beautiful I was. I'm young, and new to the neighborhood, so I didnt mind it all that much.
Fast forward to yesterday. So I'm walkin home and I see this guy. He asked when I was gonna come into his shop to buy something, and I said well I was planin on comin right now to get some cheese. So I go in the store (and there is always a female attendant there) and get my cheese. So of course he decides this is the appropriate time to ask if I want coffee. I'm thinkin fuck no, cuz 1. I don't drink coffee, and 2. you gon use that as a prerequisite to dinner or something else. But to be nice, I obliged.
MISTAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
He came back with coffee for me and juice for him and the girl. So here come the questions: Where are you from again? How long will you be here? and MOST importantly, Do you have a boyfriend? So I answer very quickly, yes I have a man, and altho he is in NY we love each other dearly and he might visit sometime in the near future. Here I am thinkin I'm shuttin him down, ending the convo, but he didnt give 2 shits. THEY NEVER DO!
So at this point I must report that this dude is AGAIN, like my grandpops. I mean white hair, wrinkled skin, everything. So he tells me that he likes me. And I say (becuz I've spoken to him all of one time, for about 3 minutes) what do you like about me? and his slick ass says everything! Then he says he wants me to come see him again tomorrow, and how we should go to his VILLAGE for dinner, and how interesting I am, and how his Mercedes is right outside.
Now come on homey, that bullshit might work for these young bulgarian chicks who want a sugar GRANDDADDY and dont care about their education, love, ATTRACTION or even looks. We'll call them the TEENY BOPPERS. You can run that "my mercedes is right outside" shit on them, but me, NAH BUDDY. Not gonna happen. Cuz even in a million years, if I had no man, no prospects of gettin a man, no self respect, I wouldn't even look your way. Aside from the fact that you are old, creepy, decrepit and nasty, but for the simple fact that you could do NOTHIN for me. Not only do you not speak english, you live in a damn VILLAGE and work in a store while also selling Christmas trees and homemade liquor on the street to passerbys. I aint tryna knock the hustle, but I'm just not into that!
And so I know that for the female readers of my blog, you may have been approached by someone tryna play house. I just wanted to run this experience by you all in particular. The culture here seems to be really older dudes (and I mean upwards of 35) gettin girls as young as high schoolers (no exaggeration). And again, maybe thats what they do here, but i'm not wit it. I just couldn't help but laugh at old dude, cuz he must have thought he was spittin some serious game in my ear.
So, what have we learned today kids? Men are all the same no matter where in the world you are. And it sucks especially for me, cuz not only am I a globetrotter, but I'm sexy as hell. Tis is the curse of lookin as good as I do......oh, and I for damn sure have to find yet ANOTHER place to buy cheese and eggs.....

How Cute....
So in an unprecedented move, I will post something good today! Aside from having a decent day today, I bought a new shirt to complete an outfit I'm wearing to a X-mas banquet, and I went to a ballet performance.
From the beginning: School was pretty decent. The student who I wrote about in another blog who was disrepectful apologized to me! Yes, he APOLOGIZED. He said that his behavior was bad, and he was really sorry and it wouldn't happen again. So of course I was already floating on cloud 1913. I'm working on the Nativity and I have my 9th graders acting out the story. Altho there are no Will Smiths or Julia Roberts in my class, they did pretty ok. They created their own dialogues to go with the story which we learned last week, and began to act it out in front of the class in 4 different scenes. I'm hoping to get more feeling out of them tho......
Next: I was invited to a banquet on Monday and I have a nice dress to wear but no shirt. so I went out today in search of something not so expensive. I had to pay 40 leva for a plain white button up shirt, but it really was the cheapest I could find. I met up with Dora's daughter and we had dinner together. She speaks really good English and she is funny. We were joking around and it felt good to laugh with someone. We actually went to a few places that we didn't like so we left. One place we went to was really smokey and I almost hacked up a lung. I could have swore someone shouted out nigger (but I'll pretend I heard something else) and the waitress never came back to the table after dropping off the menu. We settled for the pizza place and I had pasta.
Then: I went to a X-mas ballet performance. It was so cute. The kids were adorable and they didn't look half bad. The costumes kinda confused me, as they didn't go very well with the music and were just odd, but the dancing was very nice. Check the pics up top.......
Overall, today was a good day.....Hope you all had good days as well, and if not, I don't mind if you pretend that you are me (most people do anyway)
Shout out to Dre too. I wear a size 11 and it damn sure is hard to find that size. I feel your pain!
