DIARY OF AN OUTGOING INTROVERT


"Where you been?" "You never be out" "I called you earlier" "You a homebody, ain't you?"

Okay. I admit. I'm a bit of an outgoing introvert. I want to be bothered when I want to be bothered. And when I don't want to be bothered, I will look at your text, phone call, Facebook message and decide if that's something that can be addressed at a later time. So ya'll already know my read receipt is not enabled on my iPhone and I will wait until that Facebook message comes to my email so that you can't tell if I've read it yet. Oh, I know how NOT to play myself. Please believe, you will not catch me slipping.

You know you're a homebody when your own grandmother tries to throw shade at you. Let me tell ya'll what happened. So one night, I'm getting all dolled up because I had friends in town and we were getting ready to go out. I'm in the mirror, minding my business, unraveling the twist out. She passes by and says, "Oh, you're getting ready to go?" I respond saying, yes. Then, she hits me with the, "Well, I'm glad you're finally getting out."


Look, when your grandmother stops worrying about if you ate or not and starts worrying that you don't get out enough, it's time for you to throw on some booty shorts and heels and get up in somebody's club.

Now, don't get me wrong. It's not that I'm boring or stuck up, it's just that I've learned how to enjoy my own company. I mean dang, if you were me, wouldn't you want to hang out with me? I'm hella funny, I smell good, I can cook, and I crack myself up on Snapchat.

Which is Aintbritfunny, by the way.


All I'm saying is, don't be afraid to enjoy your own company. You don't always need that extra person or extra activity there to fill that gap. I can not tell you how many dates I have taken myself on. Even if it's just going to get frozen yogurt and sitting outside looking at all the sexy dudes bring they kids in the yogurt shop. It sounds weird, but it gives me a chance to reflect or maybe just live in the moment.

I know, with all of the love sick memes and cute little friendship quotes and pictures floating around, you would think that it's something wrong with you if you're not living up to those #squadgoals. Girl, please. I don't talk to anyone every single day. I talk to people all day at work. Sometimes, I get mad at the T.V because they talking on there. You really think I wanna spend 2 hours talking when I get home? 

Listen, the moral of the story is don't call me while I'm napping. Don't call me while I'm meditating. Don't call me and interrupt my Pandora song. Don't call me when I'm in the tub listening to Spotify. If you want to go out to eat, text that. If we gotta go fight somebody, text me the address, I'll meet you there.

PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN

"I need a break." I have to say, I have been finding the internet to be exceptionally entertaining and funny lately. I'm always cracking up at someone's Instagram post, a meme on Facebook, or some random footage from Twitter. But then, there's the negativity, which is extremely draining. Y'all, I don't care how bad things get in my life, please, please, please, don't let me get on the internet arguing with people that don't have a profile picture and misspelling stuff trying to send a subliminal message to my man. Just... take my phone... okay? Photo: Stephen Nitz When I broke up with my last boyfriend, which was in the year 1802, I purposely took a short break from social media. I was upset and when I'm upset, like most folk, I have a tendency to make that apparent. I'd found myself clapping back at someone on social media once before and I was like "Britney girl, what you doin'? Ain't that why you got a blog?...

BRIT AIN`T JUST FUNNY

"So are you scared to kiss?" Guys, I`m the most awkward actress when it comes to love scenes. I know what you're thinking. "You're a comedic actress, why are you doing love scenes?", the answer is, because I`m sexy and desirable and dudes want to kiss me on camera. No seriously, I do a lot more than comedy. Making people laugh just happens to be one of my strong points. I am always open to more serious roles and I can do a pretty good job, if I say so myself! I've played everything from an old lady, to an old man, to a sexy new girl on the job (that was back when I could still fit them Abercrombie jeans). Oh my gosh y'all, let me tell you about the first time I had to kiss a guy on stage. First of all, I had a crush on him to begin with. My teacher grouped us together on purpose and gave us a scene as husband and wife. Our first day of rehearsal he asks me, "So are you scared to kiss?" In the back of my head I'm like "Yeah, we ...

SIMON SAYS: CHILL OUT

"I'm just not feeling it right now." Lately, I've had a lack of creativity. I usually feel like I'm bursting with so many ideas that I can't write them down fast enough. I don't know if it's writer's block, I'm uninspired or maybe I'm just so relaxed from the hot girl summer, that I'm not motivated to do anything but take pictures with a lil bit of cleavage showing so that somebody's son can slide into my DM's for cuffing season. Photo: My Mama Yeah. That's prolly what it is. We live in a world where they try to tell us that "Rich people don't sleep" or, folks are constantly pushing this "No days off" narrative. But, if we are constantly working ourselves to death, where do we find the time to be still so that we can hear what the next move is supposed to be?
