I hate when people say...
“…well, you missed it!”
My friend hit me on Facebook chat yesterday and he doesn’t do that too often, saying “Question?”
I texted him today asking what it was.
He’s like “It would’ve been a great convo, but you missed that moment!”
Don’t tell me stuff like that. It urks me. Just answer my damn question.
Eventually, he told me,...

Pandora Picks: Britney Spears, "Crazy"
4th grade, I believe. Primetime Britney Mania. I loved it though. Every girl I knew wanted to try on this outfit at least once.
Yes, I know this is from her 1st video, not “Crazy”, get over it lol.
But no, ladies & gents, I def was a Britney fan for those last impressionable years of elementary school.
Pandora has a way
of either…
A. Playing a song that you haven’t heard in forever that you immediately have to download
or
B. Reminding you of someone/place/thing

D. Wade
Funny how about a month ago, I was going to make a post about him that started off a little like this…
“Don’t you hate when someone seems like practically everything you want EXCEPT for ONE IMPORTANT THING?
Well, that’s how it is with me and my homie D. Wade.
Hardworking, hilarious, aggressive, gentle, sweet, strong, family-oriented, dedicated…”
Funny how much things...

Never did this before,...”

Back from the dead...kind of.
I’ve been dead since Thursday afternoon/evening.
At least it felt like it.
Friday was even worse. Woke up with THE MOST disabling headache and fever. I felt so dizzy, it was ridiculous. Luckily, my bff was able to go to the store for me and get some Tylenol.
Then came the next battle…swallowing the pills. Sigh.
Once that was over, I fell back asleep. I was in and out of...

Ok, one pill down...
Next one, I’ll do before I sleep.
I swear, I’d rather inject myself…ANYTHING
Sigh.
Btw...
I’m really scared to take this next half of a pill :(
*inhales deeply*
So, I was right...
I am sick.
Had a fever of 101 degrees according to the health center. My allergies turned into a cold, etc, etc…
Anyone who knows me knows that I have an endless struggle with pill consumption. I just choked on half of an Allegra :(
One half down, one more to go…cycle repeats.
People often forget...
That it’s not really about what you say, sometimes, but rather, how you say it.
I don’t like feeling rushed. Especially when I’m doing favors.
Please don’t take my kindness for weakness.

I don't like...
getting into unnecessary arguments.
I just get frustrated and annoyed.
I don’t like arguments period, so unnecessary ones are a REAL pet peeve.
I’m always glad when a solution finally arises but seriously…
just say exactly what’s on your mind first. Eff the unnecessary shit.
The moment when you realize that you really don't...

Feeling kind of blah today.
Not sure why. Senior Blues, maybe?
I still feel tired…and lazy…but I will force myself to workout later.
I bet if you faced your fear, you would never regret it. Trust, I know, cuz I’m the one that said it.

I can't sleep.
I’ve talked myself OUT today.
It’s been a hell of a weekend.
I’m tired.
Yet, I can’t sleep.

So, this past Friday, my friends threw me a...
And guess what? I was surprised! lol
First, my best friend took me to a few bars, I’m assuming while everything was being set up at his house. In retrospect, something did feel different while we were interacting, but I couldn’t pinpoint it, so I just let the night go on. I mean, I was having a great time, so why analyze?
After the third spot, we walked back to his house. We walk...

Sometimes who you think people are, aren’t who they really are.
Realization #25...
deepchocolate:
After a night of drinking, don’t believe anything you hear from one person. Find as many sources as possible to put together the pieces of that crazy night.
People keep asking me...
If we’re together. And I look at them like “Yeah, whatever.”
I'm done.
I love Thursdays. Man, there was a day when I didn’t know what a “Thirsty Thursday” was!
...Sometimes, it really ISN'T you.

I jinxed myself today...
and had pizza…for the 3rd time this week. *BBM Can’t Watch Face*
I was just telling my homegirl how I was not buying ANYTHING off of Georgia Ave in order to stay on my diet. But then after class…I was sooo hungry…hardly ate this morning…and I knew I ate my last Lean Cuisine yesterday. Dammit. So what did I do?
I bought a pizza from Subway.

Dear B...
I wanted to believe that this was just a passing thing,
And that you were actually serious about that proposal thing.
That we’d continue as we were, in an out the ring.
That I’d be your queen, and you’d be my king.
Not in a serious sense, but more than a typical fling.
But your actions say more than any song could ever sing.

Graduation Meeting...
Today was my last classification meeting of my undergraduate career.
I got out of my production class hella late though, so I missed a good chunk of it, but nevertheless, there wasn’t anything I didn’t already know. I’m definitely on it when it comes to school usually, especially graduation, so no worries.

Yeah, I agree, just rock braids until you are comfortable. That’s pretty much what I did. Funny how life works, cuz now I barely have hair lol.

At least I convinced him to watch it on his TV hahahaha..!
