Where do I begin? Everything has Changed.

Hey everyone,

Instead of doing a very detailed entry, I got this Q&A from Coupe de Coeur and I filled out my own answers. I've been soooo lazy to do an actual post describing what's been going on with me this past couple months. It's been sooo crazy. Everything is so different now as a grad student....sheesh. The expectations are so much higher & I'm just plain sick about everything.



Anyway, my X-boy & I are back together. My post on the perfect love was about us. He's being such a sweet heart these days. But I just can't get over the voices screaming 'doom, doom, doom ahead' in my mind about the fate of our relationship. I think I have way too many wants, needs, & demands for his simplistic nature to comprehend. Sometimes I feel like he just doesn't get it. Like when I say, 'call me often', he'll do that for a few days & then fizzle out. He says he loves me dearly but I feel that in terms of where I want us to be he's just emotionally unavailable, like Funms summarised here.

Anyway, other than relationship woes & school stress, everything else is generally fine. I'm excited for christmas & no, I haven't started shopping yet (arrrgggh...). I've been so busy with papers & projects that going to the mall just seemed trivial compared to the grander scheme of things.

Ok, so lemme get to work quickly so I can get this paper done!

Anya.....x

where do you want to be in 6 years? by God's grace, working a good job I enjoy, married with at least 1 child, own a house & living somewhere in the Mediterranean

where were you last night?
at home

what you're not? snobbish, confrontational, I love peace at any cost. I don't always like this about me.

one of your wish list items? an 8" laptop for those days I need to carry around something lighter.

the last thing you did?
drink coffee

what are you wearing? Blue Jeans, black tank top & a purple sweater.

your tv? in my room

missing someone? my boyfriend. I wish we could chill

doug said...

Hmm the thing with you and your boyfriend reminds me of me and my ex.
She wanted to call/see me everytime and I get terribly irritated when I have to do that for anyone. Perhaps cupid hasnt hit a bullseye with me yet?

Tagged? I dunno...that tagging thing is hard work jo.

doug said...

Also....Third! :D

doug said...

An afterthought...It really depends on how steep the learning curve for the young man your dating is and whether or not he can make the curve. Some people just burn out, as I did. It might be different for you guys.


P.S - I really didnt mean to do this but...FOURTH!!!

PPS - Should I go for a Fifth I wonder? Naaah, I gathering too much beef in blogsville these days.

doug said...

Oh what the heck....FIFTH!!!!!!!

And Funms, Cosmos got too old & died :( he was 9 yrs old. After a while he suddenly stopped eating & then one morning we found him laying stiff in the backyard. It was sooo sad.

Amina said...

Ms.O said...

Afrobabe said...

Sweet Jesus, how many comments does doug have?

I get seriously irritated when a guy calls me too much...too much depends on how clingy he is and what exactly he is calling about...

Nigerian Drama Queen said...

Aww take it slow with your boo...don't overthink things ok?! Grad school must be intense. Red is one of my favorite colors too!

dat 1 okrika babe said...

Take it easy...yeah grad school is no joke but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck with all your papers and exams.

Chris Ogunlowo said...

Oh, sorry about Cosmos.
On being a grad student - don't worry, it's a phase, ok?

Buttercup said...

Anya Posh said...

Amina, I will be done with everything tonight. I'm so excited to have gotten thru this semester.

Ms. O, yes I'm Canadian (lol)..the excitement :| And Port Dover is a small town in Norfolk County near Lake Erie. Are u Nigerian canadian too?

Afrobabe, doug has taken the liberty to hog my comment space. It's kinda cute actually ;)
And how about when the guy isn't calling enough like he only calls 2wice a week? & I call him nearly everyday. Am I whipped or what?!

NDQ, thanks babe. But I won't lie things are very rocky right now. Trust issues are beginning to flare up, I dunno what will happen later...

Dat 1 Okrika babe, thanks hun. I'm almosty done so now I can finally go christmas shopping!!!

Aloofar, thank you! My family had that dog b4 I was even born so it was a terrible loss when he died. And grad school is a killer but its not too bad, im just exaggerating cos I was too lazy to plan ahead for that essay.


Buttercup hmm...its not easy for us. I just have to wait and see how things turn out. Sometimes I become suddenly irritated at him for very little things...we have underlying issues. oh well...we'll see. And Yes, consider yourself tagged!

Freaksho, yes! Altho i'm not too proud becus I have so many unfinished products. Do you knit also?

Anya Posh said...

Original mgbeke, its like we were posting our responses at the same time. Ha! Natural hair is the way to go hunny...i'm 2 yrs post-relaxer and I love it! And yea...the belizean part of me is so recessive lol..from old pics my nana looked black but she was Kriol. So i don't have too much of that half-caste bisness going on for me...I look like a normal calabar babe! :P

Afrobabe said...

oh..yeah I also hate it when I sleep with my phone hoping it will ring...even wake me and he doesn't call...they can never win can they???

bArOquE said...

isnt it sweet to be in love (agree or not, thats your situation)...do yourself good & make the best of it...sometimes, its not all about us

Afrobabe said...

AnyaPosh and doug please stop all the winking at each other...its making me dizzy!!!

Anya Posh said...

bArOquE, its sweet I agree but it's also complete agony.

Jarrai, grad school was so intense last semester but I loved every bit of it, i won't lie - i went crazy over stress a few times but it went very well :)
& good luck with pretty curls, I checked it.

bumight, I'm glad someone else is going thru this hustle with grad school. The thot is comforting. And yes...the Q&A read 'pro-life or Wire hanger'! LOL...as in seriously, like I would go bring on the wire hanger up in my uterus.

Yayemarie, I will confess. I lived in abidjan for like 3months straight in a diplomat estate so i'm sorry. Je ne sais parle francais! And as for the brotha, I put this love thing on the back burner for now...we'll see how it goes. All that has happened is post for another day.

Afrobabe, is the winking paining you?! LOL... I can wink at you too babe, no prob. ;)

Miss Definitely Maybe said...

sometimes its good to just tke things slow and not worry about tomorrow, just enjoy the relationship....tomorrow will come.

Roc said...

Anya Posh said...

Yes, MissDefMaybe...we're definitely taking things slow.
And Roc9ja...Yes. same guy! Sometimes it feels like we're running in a rat maze :S
