Rambling on about nothing and everything at the same time

My eye has been twiching for the last two weeks I look crazy...like Im just kidding about everything I say... Im trying to send a secret message to everyone.

According to Mrs. Kennedy...someone is coming to visit me... In the past I would have hoped that it would be Mos Def but Im feeling very Keisha Cole about him..."I changed my mind...I dont love [him] no more!!"


...I hope its my niece thats coming to visit me. She left me the most adorable message on Saturday...

" Hiiii...Hi Aunt Cussaanja...I loooouuuoove you."

My heart melts everytime I play it...my sister in the background coaching her and my nephew in the background cooing.


God...I feel like Im stuck in a class I hate and its a nice day outside and everyone else gets to play outside except me. Like I got blamed for talking in class and it wasnt even me and now the teacher is making me miss recess all because of someone else...but they get to go outside and I have to stay in... and its sooooo nice outside and all I wanna do is have fun ...I mean damn..Can I go play now??

Valentines Day and other catching up.

I had a really nice valentines day to be valentineless, lol. I basically went out with my sorors to have Thai at our favorite place. We had fun and as usual the food was great! The whole day started off kinda weird and ended up nice though. I heard from a long lost valentine and had a long convo that kinda resulted in a truce and me letting down my "Im done" guard...though Im considering putting it back up for good measure. My "so called" valentine phoned early for good measure and just to bullshit me but I peeped his game and cut it off early and went back to sleep.
I skipped Finite(my first time...no sweat) and decided to sleep in. I figured I'd take the day to do what I needed to do so that I could have more sanity in my life. That's the plan these days...take care of what's important and screw the rest! I guess you could call that my valentines day resolution...one I plan to keep much better than those new years resolutions. I finally got my shirts embroidered and I took care of a few other over due to do's and took the rest of the day easy. Dinner was followed by me skipping Ngoma( yeah I said it....shoot me!). I chilled more...as if I hadn't been chillin all day and did more work... or pretended to be doing work. (kinda like now) I actually enjoyed my day, I rested and took care of myself which is the first step in self love. This years was probably the best valentines day I've had single...( and in some cases attatched)...and though I had to buy my own Ferrero Rocher, they still taste the same and I slept just as nicely alone as with someone.



There goes that single women's bullshit again...Oh well.


The rest of the week flew by... which explains why I'm writing about valentines day on the Sunday following. Work...school...class...its all getting too hectic and I'm having to prioritize like WHOA! Don't get it twisted...I still get my procrastination time up in there.....Oh I know what's important and what can wait until the last possible minute...yall know how I do...always on my own time!



Before I go I have a question.....


Do I look like New York from Flavor of Love????
Flavor Flav is proof that there is a match for everyone in the world!
The way things go these days...shit... I should find out if there's gonna be a season two flave may be my match, I could be his mistress!

Flaaavor Flaaaaaaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv!!!!!!!!!!

"Something New"

February is here and I'm so glad because now I can have a legitimate excuse for being overly excited about Valentines day!!! I know I'm pretty lame but I just love holidays like this! NO... I don't have a valentine but I know I love myself and that's all that matters. Don't get it twisted. I could use one but I'm satisfied with the love I have for myself. (doesn't that sound like some single women bullshit??? ) The plan is to get all dressed up and go out to have drinks and desserts with some sorors on Tuesday and to buy myself some sexy unmentionables and a set of really nice sheets for my valentines night. No guest, just me and my bed and lots of rest. I've also been in better spirits since the first of the month. Who knows why, but I'm getting a lot more done that I have in the last three weeks. Snaps for me!

I calculated with Danielle the other day that there are exactly 10 weeks left in the semester and 10 weeks left in our college careers. A bout of crying hit me last night as I rode back from Ring Dance with Andrea. It was like seeing things from a really mature stance. Hearing Andrea talk all about how Ring Dance was a waste of time and money and wishing that she had kept the $50 she had spent on the six tickets for her parents to come walk her down the stairs, take a picture and pick up a ring. And though I could have told her this, considering how quickly My Mom, Dwight and I left after I did that whole jig last year, made me feel really old. I teared up in the car on the way to Wendy's but was met with an unfriendly tone from Andrea, who "Wooohooo"ed me and kept it moving.

I had a lovely day today out with my girls, Tonia and Danielle Torain. Tonia's my Homie but Danielle has been a good friend since freshman year-ish. Always sweet, always sensible and just plain lovely to be around. After seeing "Something New" with them earlier (the second time for me) we discussed dating white men. Sanaa definitely had her reservations in the movie as she was presented with Brian, but he did have his attributes of fine-ness. Not to spoil the movie but he was working it, I mean he was painting toe nails, snuggling, APOLOGIZING, I was like Damn! Can I get one of those in Black???? LOL .... Anyway... We discussed it on our way to Carytown. Tonia bought up the point that white men have pink nipples ( and wewe's Danielle noted) which is a good point, but if he can apologize and speak his mind at the same time without bearing the weight of the world on his shoulders than I have to give credit where credit is due. Maybe that's the way it should be. Since black men and women usually have to deal with so much to make it through life, maybe black women should date white men? I mean, some of our brothers have already figured this out, especially our brothers at the University of Richmond. Maybe two people treading so heavily through life being black in a white world aren't meant to me together. Its sort of a double negative maybe? Long story short.... Its open season on the brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon OKAY!!!! Forget the Cherry Lounge, 534, and all these Greek Parties..... I'm going to the Lodges next weekend. Let me get my best flip flops, halter top and denim skirt together.... Maybe I will have a valentine after all.

Smooches
