IslandGrl and I spoke on the phone last night for a while. YAY! It was really chit chat about burgers and pickles and tomatoes. She is going out with the ladies tonight so I am going to just go home and lay in bed.
Lil Missy called while we were on the phone. I actually had spoken to her earlier in the day while on BART. She said that she was going to speak with her Baby Daddy and would probably need to vent later in the evening. I told her to feel free to call me.
So she called while I was on the phone with IslandGrl, which was ok because IslandGrl was about to leave for the gym with her roommmates. Lil Missy asked me to meet her at the Starbucks near her place. I called IslandGrl back to give her a proper goodbye and really just to talk to her a little more because I knew that I wouldn't be hearing from her for a while. I doubt I'll hear form her until early next week since she probably has a busy weekend.
So I went down to Starbucks and Lil Missy was already there studying. I got her a chocolate milk and myself a vanilla bean frappacino. She was working on a jigsaw puzzle on my iBook for a while as I sipped on the Frap.
When she was done with that she started talking about her issues. On the surface the issues are that she is pregnant, the father is a loser, and she had just "broken up" with him. He was kind of the boyfriend because of the fact she was pregnant but she realized that just because he knocked her up didn't make him right for her life of the child's. Just the fact that she is pregnant and having the kid was surprising when she first told me a few months ago. Because of her medical condition she had decided on no relationships and no kids. She has had 3 abortions in the past. But this time she couldn't bring herself to do it again and the thought of never having kids didn't seem right to her I guess.
Of course there was much more below the surface. Things having to do with family, other people's expectations, her own expectations, regrets...the list goes on and on.
We talked at Starbucks. Then we went to my friend's bar in Hayward where Missy's sister works. It was the usual ghetto Thursday night crowd. Missy had a water and I had half a beer before we decided to leave. Missy was hungry so we went to some ghetto Denny's in San Leandro. We talked a bit more there and I just basically let her know that I was her friend and would be there for her. I am concerned for her and the baby, really concerned. I don't know how this pregnancy is going to affect her condition or whether it could threaten her safety.
My life fot the most part is one big comedy. Nothing really serious on a day to day basis. I don't have very many serious issues to deal with and I am thankful for that. In a way I dread the day that my life has to take a sudden serious turn.
