What are you waiting for?
Well as I sit here and ponder the weekends events, one particularly short but relatively eye opening scenario played out for me Friday night. On my way to Las Vegas for the umpteen-millionth time; actually as I was literally 30 miles outside of town, I got a call on my iphone (yes the one that is now MIA) from someone I have not talked to in a while because he has been hella busy working (so Im told). Well I answer the call "This is Tonya" and a very unfamiliar voice asks "You arent Tonya {some other last name than mine}" and I answered, No, Im Tonya Murray.
She says, "Oh ok. Well... How do you know {insert poor fella whose girlfriend decided to randomly dial in his phone's name here} so and so?"
I paused for a moment, mostly from shock I think and then answered her honestly that I knew him from a website. She then begins to drill me on how long I have known this person, how long have I been talking to him online, on the phone, etc. I really didnt know exact answers and she seemed really frustrated with me because of that. I mean come on, this person and I were not that close any longer so I tended to let go of what little history we did have.
Finally after trying really hard to remember specifically how long we had been chatting I finally told her, "Look, I dont know how long we have been talking for but its been a while." She then responds "Well I live with him and this is very upsetting to me". I replied "I understand, I'd be frustrated as well if I was unaware of what my partner was doing behind my back". She went quiet momentarily, then thanked me and hung up.
Sigh... other people's drama. I do try to avoid it wherever I can. I am still a bit shocked because I had NO IDEA this guy had someone in his life. But then again what do you expect? Its the internet. It seems here, we package ourselves in the best wrapping to present ourselves in the best light. I just dont understand that sort of thinking and I dont understand what is "fun" in playing games with the people you live with and share your life with (this guy's girlfriend who is apparently unaware of everything he is up to and apparently he is up to alot.
I just say, Keep it real. Anything else seems to me like a waste of energy.
*kttn*
PS if you are in Vegas and you find my Iphone - Ill give you a reward ;)
