Dear Ike.....

You never called me back! I am so surprised...I should start a payment plan for your time? :) Well, just to finish up what I was going to say before so we don't have to have that conversation again, basically the guy we (Lamont and I) were living with wasn't paying his half of the rent even though he was all over L about getting HIS half in. Basically it really started stressing him out (L), and he thought it was best if I weren't there. I guess that it was in his own best interests. But I mean, it's not like he hated me. I know he didn't cheat on me...we were doing fine, well, physically you know. He wouldn't actually come out and say he would rather me leave, I said it first. He said are you sure you want to do this now? And I was like, well I don't want to do it later!!

Anyway, after that, it was over. Within 20 minutes the conversation was over and I already had a ticket home and I didn't talk to him basically for a few days until it was time for me to leave....and, that's that. Lamont is someone I will always be friends with. I would like to think I will be able to see him the future, but that won't be for years, if ever. I can still call him ever so often just to say hello, but I haven't called because right now it isn't healthy.

And, he did teach me about what I deserve in a relationship. Even if it was short-lived, and things were tough, he made me happier than any other relationship I have ever had. That's for real. He never ever lied to me. He didn't cheat on me. He was very affectionate with me. He was romantic, not in a traditional way, but in a sweet way. We never fought, we laughed together, we just sort of fit together naturally. I guess he just didn't think it was worth fighting for.

So, Ike. That's that. I will try not to talk about him anymore to you. :)

Today I met my nephew for the first time. He's beautiful. But my neice is very jealous. :) I love her--she's only three. She got very jealous when her grandpa (my daddy) held her brother! Its a good thing I'm such a grown up now too, or I might have been jealous too (just kidding. :)) It was nice to see my folks, if only for an hour or two.

I bought some (VERY cheap) books at Goodwill, and spent the rest of the night by myself until my sister came home. Next week I will be here for five days by myself, so I am glad I love being alone so much! :)

Well, this got long...I'll have to paste it in my journal. I will try to call you another time, or MAYbe you might call me....

your white girl
