Today I decided to poke a little fun at myself and I created an adventure involvingmy imaginary boyfriend. It was so much fun that I decided to go even further andintroduce him to you all. Don't laugh...he's sooo much fun!
Introducing My Imaginary Boyfriend Steve
 I'm on the metro rail on my way downtown for yet another job interview. I'veenjoyed 6 months of freelance writing and hoping for a call back on any of theinterviews that I had been on but I wasn't discouraged at all. What God has for meis for me. Until it presents itself, I'm going to relax and enjoy my vacation.As soon as I step off at the Government Center station, this dude rushes past meand knocks my bag off my shoulder. I give him a dirty look and he stops."Sorry about that," he says."Whatever," I say and keep walking."I got something that'll make you smile!" he calls out after me as I hurry down theescalators.I ignore him and quickly rush through the crowd of business men and tourists. Myinterview went great and I'm surprised. I showed them all of me, including tellingthem "I am not a gossip person and I just want to do my work. If social obligationsare a part of this job then it won't be a good fit for me."The woman interviewing me laughed and shook my hand. "We'll get back withyou," she says. "It's truly been a pleasure."I decide to stop in at Wendy's for a chicken sandwhich on my way back to themetrorail station. I'm nibbling on my sandwhich inside the restaurant and readingmy book when I hear a voice."Hey Red."

I look up. A greasy faced, gold toothed thug stares back at me. His white tee isstained with some kind of brown stuff and his shoes are busted and dirty."Hey," I reply and immediately lower my gaze back to my book."Can I come sit with you?" he asks, taking a step toward me."Um....I'm waiting on someone. But thanks. I'm good.""Are you sure about that?" he smiles down at me."Yeah. He'll be here any minute."Mr. Brown Stain dramatically gazes around the entire restaurant before saying,"Well, he ain't here yet. Let me sit down for a minute."Ughhh...I open my mouth to curse at him when I feel a hand on my shoulder."Hey Baby. Who's this?" I look at the hand on my shoulder and my first instinct isto stand up in self defense when I look up and see the dude who knocked my bagoff my shoulder. He gives me a half smile and sits down."Oh, he was just saying Hi." I say.Mr. Brown Stain stammers and walks away."Where did you come from?" I ask him."I was sitting over there," he says and guestures toward a corner set. "I saw youcome in but you looked so mean that I just laughed and figured I shouldn't bother you again.""Good idea," I say and check him out.
