Some People Just aren't Meant to be Friends.

IBELIEVE IN FRIENDSHIP. I really do. Now more than ever actually. All of my current college friendships are mere hatchlings in the coop. However, I do believe that in this pivotal and desperately lonely stage, I am noticing the major character significances that can and will ruin any future in a friendship that we can ever have. It happens. Not everyone is meant to be BFF. That doesn't mean there are any harsh feelings, we just have nothing to talk about. There are a few factors that I just can't get with If we are gonna be friends.

These are my dealbreakers:

1. You try to break the ice with me by making fun of another person- That is not nice. You aren't impressing me with any comedic skill, all you are showing me is that your mama raised a damn fool. Walk away.

2.You don't even like me- You're just friends with me for some academic benefits or whatever. and you know what? I just might get attached. and if I see you studying with someone else, *sniff* Ima be real distraught. "I thought we had something Teresa!"

3. We don't like the same TV shows- "Hey did you watch last weeks episode of The Office? Wasn't it funny when Jim- What? You don't know what The Office is? Wha-but--- I wasn't prepared for this."

4. You want me to join your cult*- Sure I'll go with you to a party in an uncharted location in West Philly. Fine. I'll hug all the elders and chow down on this delicious food. Hey why do you call them elders?

Umm.... I wikipedia'd you guys, when were you gonna tell me? at the sacrifice?

5. You look at me like I'm weird- How do you not like the smell of elevators? If you don't you better keep that to yourself. Stop lookin at me sideways...

*This really happened

I Miss My Friends :)

So....

I know it's been a while. I've been working on my Tumblr page for the past few weeks.

What's new?

Nothing is really new. I'm going to be changing my major next semester. Back to English. I really miss it. I feel like I'm starting to lose the desire to write a little. I haven't had to write for any of my classes this semester and I've been writing a little for fun lately but not as much as I want.

How's Temple?

Temple has been ok. I wanna go home a lot because I miss my friends and It's kind of been hard for me to not feel lonely around campus. I eat alone most of the time and I spend a lot of time in my room watching movies. I've been volunteering at an elementary school nearby and I've got friends there who work with me, but we're still at the beginning stages of friendship. Maybe I shouldn't complain. I've only been here for 2 months and It took me a year to make friends in Pompton Lakes and those are a majority of my closest friends. I'll get there with Temple.

Meet any interesting people?

As a matter of fact, yes I have.

See any good movies?

Yes, I recently watched the entire deepa mehta trilogy- Fire, Earth and Water and they were all very good if you like Indian culture, drama, and love stories, betrayal and profound sorrow.

I also saw Palindromes, which was very good. It was kind of strange, disturbing and it made me question my values in terms of the abortion debate.

The Tracey Fragments was another thrilling film about a girl (Ellen Page) who loses her brother. Its a story about blame, emotional tension, social alienation, and devastating let down. It was beautifully done. No happy ending here though.

I went to the movies and saw Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself. I really liked it. I always love Madea movies but this one had better acting, a good story line, although they are always the same-- someone gets treated badly by a man, then there's another man, a good man; but the woman doesn't realize it and then they go to church and they fall in love and she burns the bad man with grits or drowns him in a tub.

I also watched Towelhead. Another good movie. Its a story of realizing sexuality, growing up beyond the influences of your parent's cultures and pressures of your environment. It was really good.
