Baby, You can have whatever you like...

Before launching into this story, you'll probably want to watch this video for the whole thing to make sense.

I'm not a huge fan of this song, and in fact, I'm going to use this song for a WMST paper, but it is relevant to the story.

Tonight I worked. Yes, on Halloween, I worked. It wasn't bad, though, because I never really get excited about Halloween. Some people spend a lot of money on costumes, but not me. However, in order to not wear my work uniform, I dressed up as a lady bug. Black pants, cute red, short sleeved turtleneck, homemade antenna, wings, and a friend of mine did my eye make up (which was totally awesome). The rules for dressing up were that you had to wear your treadsafe shoes, hair had to be pulled back, and it had to be G Rated. We couldn't go dressed as bitches and hos apparently. Damn--There goes my idea.. :)

So tonight, I was standing at the host stand, and a guy walks up to me very much so in my personal space and begins to look me up and down.

Dude: You got a boyfriend?

Slightly annoyed me: Mm yeah.

Dude: I bet he's white.

Me: Pretty much.

Dude:
You ever been wit a black guy?

Me: Not so much.

Dude: Mmm. You don't know what you're missin out on then.

Me: Oh really. I guess not.

Dude: I mean not in a sexual way or anything, you just don't know what you're missin out on.

Me: Ahh. That clears things up. Now I understand.

Dude: Does he got money?

Me: Hmm. He's a server at a restaurant.

Dude: So, he makes $2.13 an hour? That ain't money. I got money. You need to be someone like me. I got 30,000 in the bank.

Me: Hmm..tempting.

Dude: Why you settlin for a guy like that when you can have someone like me?

Me: Uh. Because I'm in college and that stuff doesn't matter.

Dude: Oh C'mon. I'm like T.I., Baby, you can have whatever you like.

Me: Ohhhhhhhh. Now that changes things, lemme call my boyfriend right now and just call things off. You are everything I've ever looked for in a guy. Thanks so much for being that voice of reason. You're amazing.

(K. Not so much what I said, but would have been funny)

I told this story to one of the guys and he was like I should walk up to this guy and be like "Have you ever been with a man? How bout a white man? Ohh you don't know what you're missing out on!" Would have been entertaining to say the least.

Hope your Halloween was eventful!!!
