I was thinking the other day that my girls are just like sisters to me in the way that Americans refer to as sister-friends. It’s kinda odd but I can hands-on-heart say that I love, enjoy and prefer the company of my girlfriends to a guy’s anytime. With all the girl-on-girl hating that goes on out there, it took me a while to realise that I and my group of friends had something special (No, not like that silly!). See, I only really took notice of this when a guy, who at the time was asking me out, ended up asking if I was a lesbian. His grouse was that I spent too much time with my girls and every time he wanted to go out, say to a party or so, I was always more interested in ‘reaching with the girls’ and if the girls were not interested then automatically I wasn’t. How I could ever have been mistaken for a lesbian perplexes me till date but…
See, for me, it was more fun with the girls cos we’d do the silliest things when we were together and catch jokes and that to me, easily beats ‘Mr sweaty’, trying get his ‘wyne on’ in a party. For none UK folx, wyning is the act of ‘Sweaty’ trying to rub his sweaty self every which way, on you.
Anyways, meet the girls:
Matt
Matt is this weird character that is excessively pretty. She has perfectly carved out features and we sometimes call her China doll. We have an inside joke about the ways she draws in the fellas, just like a magnet. When Mattie does her thing on the dance floor, you can see the men levitating towards her, I kid you not.
Matties exterior is one of calm and grace but inside, she’s a nutter. Like most of the girls, she’s prone to sudden outbursts usually of Ghanaian words such as ‘I re si!’ accompanied by rapping her nails on the nearest available object. She’s entertaining and the rest of us tend to stop and stare at her when she’s overcome by whatever it is that gets into her sometimes. Lol.
Character-wise, Matt’s outgoing (sometimes), strong-headed and resolute, she’s definitely not a pushover and once her mind is made, don’t bother. She’s also unusually quiet sometimes, well, until the next outburst anyway.
Madam T1
Madam T1 is a peculiar, some would even say strange, girl. She is the ‘stubborn-head’ of the group who acts like someone died and made her mother to us all. You never want to get into a debate with T1 cos she’d frustrate you very quickly. T1 can be quite traditional in her views (as in “Coral go and get married, you are getting old” kind of traditional) but I’m not sure if she does this just to anger the rest of us or not. Hard and as painful as this is, I have to admit that T1 is a great chick. She’s always laughing, usually at someone else’s’ expense but hey.
The general consensus within the group is that T1 has an undiagnosed hyperactivity disorder (which I must admit has been curbed to a little extent lately). T1 does not speak without being rude. Noooo, that would be asking for too much. Typically, T1 calls you and the first thing you hear is “Animal! What’s up?” "Why haven't you called me? cow!" Lol. Her favourite names for us include animal, fish, cow (this one is very popular) and I think she’s once referred to me as a hermaphrodite!!! She also attributes any perceived discretion by any of us as due to ‘lack of sexual frustration!’ Till date, none of us have quite worked out what this means.
Like quite a few of my friends, T1 is prone to sudden physical outbursts, the most popular being ‘rapidly clapping her hands, doubling over and shaking her bum right in front your face’. The first time it happened, I have to admit, I was distressed! But you live and learn. Sigh.
