So yesterday was my 19th birthday and I lived it out like most people do. Drinks and partying. Now legal this was my first night at a club, my first time buying a drink, I took my first shot ( a porn star) and I realized that I can actually dance when I'm drunk.
Anyway it was a blast! And I would definately do it again.
This is my good, good friend whom I randomly met up with. Quite a few of my friends ended up coming, I was sooo pleased :)!
So I told my parents on the phone today about my new and first boyfriend. Awkward. I didn't know if I should mention it, since it's not really serious or anything, or if I should just leave it, but since it is something I'm pursuing I thought I mays well be open and let them know. I mean.. it is going to come up, especially when I go home, and I don't want them to think that I'm keeping something from them, you know? So my thoughts were better to tell them then let it slide and have them find out from someone else and think I don't love them enough to tell them, or he's a sketchy guy that I'm trying to hide from them.
So for your amusement here's how the conversations basically went;
Me: "So dad I just thought I should probably bring this up and let you know that I've started dating someone... Because I'll be visiting him when I get home, and I didn't want to you to find out really late and think I was trying to hide anything.. You know?"
Dad: "Oh..." *composition and shock* "ok".. "So, what's his name?"
Me: "Cyril"
Dad: "CEREAL?"
Me: "yeah kind of. He's Nigerian."
Dad: " Oh."
Me: " He came from Nigeria 2 years ago..." yaddy yadda yadda , giving spiel.
Dad: "Wait. He's black?"
Me: "Uh.. yeah."
Dad: "Ok." * processing shocking new information "How old is he?" * bracing himself to hear he is 25 or something with a Harley*
Me: "20"
Dad: *THANK GOD*
Me: "He might come visit me this weekend"
Dad: "Ok sweetie, just dont' rush into anything!" *ahhhh a man is coming to stay with my baby for the weekend!!!!! Mentally freaking.*
Mom and I
Mom was pretty cool about everything. Curious but easy to talk to. I told her about what he'd told me about Nigeria and the dangers there and what not. She asked some weird questions though, the weirdest was :
"Does he plan on moving back there?".
Me: "I don't know! Probably. MOM we've been dating for 2 weeks, I don't intend to marry him and move away to Nigeria with him!"
Mom: "Well hunny.. you never know!"
*smacks head* Ohhhh dear.
My poor parents. Having a daughter like me that makes them deal with all my bizarre situations. :P
