Man. I've said it before but I'm seriously thinkin of not copping at night anymore since I go by myself. For the SECOND time, this homeless dude who hangs around the el station has followed me onto the el, ranting and raving. Like, he wants me to try out dope that he knows about somehow. I have never even told him that I do dope, but he's just assuming being a white girl in the hood that I'm either hooking or geting high, or both. The first time he got on the el after me and sat near me, talking and talking. I was just being somewhat nice, civil I guess, but in no way tryin to encourage him.
Then he saw me again yesterday. Again, got onto the el and sat near me. Only this time he was ranting and raving with a little more freaky bent, like complaining about white people coming into HIS hood and how he's offended by it, and why don't I trust him, why don't I want to go with him, what has he done to make me not trust him? I'm like, "Dude, I don't even know you. It's not an issue of trust. I just don't need what you're tryin to offer, I'm fine." But he was almost seeming belligerant. We weren't the only people on the el so I didn't feel too unsafe...but a little unnerved since it's happened twice.
I called my guy and told him what had happened. Described the homeless dude to him. I said he needs to really have my back if I'm coming to see him alone, because there's been this sketchy dude buggin me lately. Dboy assured me that he looks out for me and he's got my back, but it ain't like he's riding the el back with me ya know? I guess what I should be doing is just keep avoiding homeless dude, and try to not go at night since it's been evening both times I ran into him. Or just get a car I guess, but for the time being I don't have one so I do take the el. I like takin the el actually, and usually it works fine. Many times dboy just picks me up at the el and we go somewhere, and then he drops me back off. Not always though. Soooo...any suggestions about this homeless dude? Other than, don't go to the hood alone or get a car? I guess it's a dumb question, I should just continue tryin to avoid him. But I just wanted to rant a little bit cuz this guy is really a pain in my ass and it's happened TWICE!
