Not Lovin’ New York all that Much at the Moment
Not Lovin’ New York all that Much at the Moment by Roxanne McDonald
 |
So disappointed that New York has let go the one whom everyone (NY included) thought was best for her. |
She loved him, named him Real cause she was really feelin him, loved his hair, had less negatively to say about him than the other two…and what does she do? She goes and dumps him for the drama kings, Tango and Chance.
Some indicators that she has made a sorry mistake?
“I don’t do well around animals.” New York says this about the horses Chance and Real and mom Claudia are into.
“I would truly welcome Real with open arms…” Mom Patterson says this in regards to having him as a
son-in-law…while she says about Chance, “If Chance became my son-in-law, I would kill him.”
“You want children? You want another twenty year-old child, too?” Real in response to Chance’s misbehaving at dinner.
Claudia says Real is a much better match than Chance.
Sister Patterson believes Chance is the “undercover abuser type.”
Sister Patterson offers Chance five, then ten thousand bucks to take a hike.
Chance calls Sister P “crazy devil woman”, feigns taking off the bling New York has assigned him, then stays in the house after all.
But indications to us that she is going to repeat her mistake, follow her template?
“I’m impressed with Chance’s way with horses…. Just seeing him stroke those horses made we wanna stroke something else.”
“I can look deep into Real’s puppy dog eyes and see a lot of love…and it scares me.” [Intimacy issues, maybe? At least, from what I have learned over the years, when we are not ready for a commitment ourselves, we make
choices that reflect that non-committal state—choosing abusers, equally noncommittal partners, etc..]
“…Still am definitely feeling Chance.”
“Tango does not know how to Tango. How you gonna have that name when you have no rhythm?”
Chance crying. New York responding, “Seeing Chance cry does not change [my opinion]…. Soldiers cry. Dogs cry. Doves cry. [uh-oh, you do realize what inspired Prince to write that song, right, New York?] And I cry. We all cry.”
“Tango is definitely a lot more mature than Chance and Real. Turtles do live a lot longer than humans.” [Uh-oh. Any compliment accompanied by an analogy like that is surely a cue….]
Tango’s mother Paula is “much, much older than [Sister P],” she says, and New York agrees, asking, “And can you imagine rolling her into the handicapped bathroom?”
New York then says she would much rather have Claudia for a mother-in-law, as Claudia “looks like she knows how to apply make-up,” whereas Paula looks like she “lives for the kitchen.”
And again, after getting all rude about how brutal Chance is * and how she loves that about him, after insulting Paula and upsetting her mother, New York adds that Paula is boring…and big. She was bored at lunch, she says, so she ruined it. Intentionally.
Real getting booted and Chance crying. Again.
And, again, the main reason she will likely choose Chance—besides how he reminds her of Flava Flav all over again and how choosing him will show she is the c-h-i-b (or however she spelled it) in this house, in defiance and in opposition to choosing who’s right for her, and she knows it—is how * “he has taken things out of my mouth; he has slammed me around…” and she loves that about Chance, too.
