i know you say there's no one for you...but here is one.

weird personality quirks are what make me...me. however, sometimes even i have to admit i have bouts with insanity where my quirks border on radical instability.

what brings me to this on a sunday night? listening to jeff (buckley, duH)...and thinking about the deep-rooted resentment i have for people who fell in love with the music posthumously...which is completely unfair of me, but i can't help it. where were these hundreds of thousands of fans when there was like 3000+ hits on his only fansite, and at least 100 of those were me since i checked daily.

idunno, it hurts i guess...to intensely love someone who isn't someone you could ever know. i guess i want to feel closer to him than all those other people. again, an irrational wish.

that being said, apparently a picture book of jeff is now worth $149...i can't see ever selling mine short of me being destitute...

i also harbour a belief that he might have been my soulmate...yea well, never let it be said that i don't have ridiculous romantic sentiment...b/c i totally do. ugh, this is starting to depress me.

jeff's been dead a little over 10 years now. *sigh* my parents thought at the time that i would "get over it" guess that's not the case.

oh Nico! lol

8's contemplative...

how old does a woman have to be before she can take a compliment without second-guessing the intent of the giver?

just something i ponder...i suffer from that...when someone says something kind about me whether it be a physical attribute, or that i'm a good person, i kinda have this internal "shudder" and then wonder if i deserve it, or if the person has another motivation.

i wish sometimes i could just BE. just take everything as it comes.
i know, and feel that this deficiency comes from lack of self-esteem coupled with my unparalleled cynicism towards everything and everyone.

also, my lack of confidence rears its ugly head often when i need it (my confidence) most. i simply must be better about this.

that aside...i'm flippin tired. not sleepy but drained...vegetative almost.

i need something/someone(?) to light a fire under me and get me back in the swing of things...not offering, just saying.

How long is too long?

It will be a week tomorrow since date 1 with latest suitor. Struggling to keep Pessimistic Riss-K at bay, I keep asking myself, "Will he want date 2?"

Pessimistic Riss keeps blabbering about how things never work the way I want them to so why would I even DARE think that he would want to go out with me again? Then Optimistic Riss whispers things like, "You are a great person..You both had a good time..He would be a fool not to want to see you again." But then Pessimistic Riss pulls out the bullhorn, screaming to the top of her lungs, "You might as well forget about him b/c he ain't callin ever again...You'll wait another 20 years before going out on another date."

And just to clarify, I don't hear voices in my head so don't go trying to haul me off to the looney bin just yet....

for W8ng...and anyone else who feels the same...

Wave Goodbye

Words get tangled on your tongue
And you stumble on your feet
When you miss somebody
And everywhere you think you see them
Walking down the street
When you miss somebody
When you miss somebody
You tell yourself a hundred thousand times
Nobody ever lives forever
So you give it one more try
To wave goodbye, wave goodbye
Every hurtful thing you ever said
Is ringing in your ear
When you miss somebody
And everything of beauty that you see
Only brings a tear
When you miss somebody
When you miss somebody
You tell yourself everything will be alright
Try to stand up strong and brave
When all you want to do is lay down and die
How long Ive waited for an answer or a sign
Lonely and weary from
The troubled task of trying
To wave goodbye
So now you start to recognize
That every single path you see
Leads to a tear in your eye
So wave goodbye, wave goodbye

sexiest thing ever...

i have wanted this toy for 20 years. LOL...insanity. as a matter of fact THIS particular version is not available...it's some limited repaint that in the days of employment i would have bid $200+ ...b/c as earlier stated, i'm insane.

thing is, i don't just like starscream...i AM starscream.

that aside...my starscream fixation will be realized in the near future, b/c it will be one of my vanity purchases when i am (hopefully) one day rolling in the dough. my toy-game is gonna be mean. hahahaha.

somewhere my best gay is shaking his head and calling me a "boy" and...i'm ok with that.

PMDD MOMENT

Ok, so I'm not even pms-ing this week but I swear I feel like I could blow someone's brains out right now!!! I was fine, everything was just hunky-dory. Now I want to hurt someone. LOL! Gotta love hormones. Mood swings are a BITCH!!!

if you get some time alone...

HILARIOUS. Her name is Alexyss Tylor, look her up on youtube...she's always talking about dick and pussy...and she is off the meatrack. a quotable "i don't know if he wanted the nuts in his butt or his balls in his jaws" rotf....*dead*
peep her, she will enlighten you to the power of your pussy.

Took long enough.....

Well it has finally happened. After years of waiting, it finally happened. I had an actual DATE. A pick-you-up-take-you-out-pleasant conversation-laughs-take you home-goodnightkiss-call you tomorrow-date. And I enjoyed every minute of it!

If you don't have a babysitter, then you shouldn't go to the movies!

I couldn't remember why it was that I never really cared whether I went to see a movie in the theaters or not. But tonight, I was reminded why: children of inappropriate age seeing inappropriate movies. For example, tonight I went to see Harry Potter. Why, at a PG-13 rated movie am I seeing infants in strollers and children clearly under the age of 3 at a 9pm showing of a movie? And why do you seat all of your young children together while you and your girlfriends sit next to each other, the closest adult 4 seats away from one of the youngest children? AND how is it that you want to see a movie so bad, that when your less than 1 year old starts to cry, you stand up and lean against the wall, trying to muffle the cries, all the while still watching the movie b/c you don't want to miss what happens!!!???!!!???

I like kids and understand that they too have the right to go to the movies. But they do not have the right to ruin it for the rest of us. So I urge you, parents of the world, if you come to the movies, leave your kids at home if they are not old enough to sit down and shut up for at least 2 hours at a time!!!

Thank you.

Where my girls at?

Okay Xtina just put me on to this website/idea for a diva day outing for us. So eight, Riss-k, and the baby sister we must transformers roll out to this. Here's a link to the site so ladies check it out. http://www.asensualyou.com/ It's not that expensive and I heard *cough* that this excellent for exercise and weight loss. LOL.

Weekend Review 3 (or 4 if I take too long to write it and someone else beats me to the punch)

Friday: Visit from..hmm, don't really know what to call him....ah yes! My Distraction. That will work. Anyhoo, he stopped by, we did the usual..good time had by all. Somewhat anyway. I think my guilt is starting to get to me, though technically I have nothing to be guilty for...other than sleeping with someone's man. Also, he's being just a little too talkative for me right now. If all you want is a f*ck, then I don't need to know about your life. Will only make it difficult in the end.

On we go, SATURDAY: Went to a birthday bbq and was so proud of myself b/c I went by myself, no security blanket needed (ok, so I was texting eight all night..so minor security blanket was needed). It was great to see old friends again, and even ran into a few peeps from The Ville! One, in particular was a guy that was always nice to me while in school. We got to chatting, got the digits and had a phone conversation that night. Making plans to meet up. Will have to see where this goes.

Also ordered tix to see Amy Winehouse. VERY excited about that!! I was telling Eight that her album was like the soundtrack to my life fro the past few years. Had to keep my composure while listening to it on the bus ride to the party. Was on the verge of angry tears. LOL!!

Sunday, I did nothing! I vegged out in front of the tv FINALLY getting around to watching the last installment of Lord of The Rings. Then my mother came downstairs and ruined the ending for me b/c she was getting overly excited and loud and just plain annoying. Then complained about the next movie I was going to watch. Uh, as I recall, I was the one sitting nice and quietly in the living room by myself, just chilling. There are 2 other televisions in the house!

But all in all, had a great weekend!

weekend review part 2 *** Its a bit long

I'm also tired and i wish i stayed home today. some mornings i feel so drained like i never went to sleep. well weekend was interesting. hung out with two of friends from church. came to the realization that they are crazy, a bit trife, and very delusional. lol. one of my friends is about 6'1 she has to weigh about 400lbs. we had to meet up at her house to go to the movies to see Transformers. Which I must say is like super awesome. I actually saw it twice. Anywho, I get to her house and she walks outside with pom-pom shorts (very short-shorts), a tank top, flip flops, and her hair is nappy and comb back with no a lick of curls in it. If you could of seen my face it was priceless. I was like who and hell left the gate open and what made her think she could rock this outfit. Oh I left out that the tank top looked as if she had some KFC or Popeye's and wiped the chicken grease on her chest plate. Now at this point I don't want to be seen with her because as a fellow big girl its never cool to be seen with sistern who look busted. And she looked busted.

Since there was no need to take two cars we decided to take her car. We parked my car on her little block which even the most skilled driver would have difficulty parallel parking. Of course I told her to park J.R. for me since my nerves get a bit frazzled when I have to park. Well, have any of you saw Norbit and remember how Rasputia would make the horn blare every time she would enter the car by inhaling and exhaling. Well let's just say that's what happened when she entered my car. It took a lot out of me not to fall out laughing because I all I could think about was this movie. When she gets out my car she said that my car is too small. Now if I were driving a mini cooper I would except that statement but I would never classify a Camry as a small car.

Now we're off to the movies and I neglected to tell you her car is full of half eaten food, candy, and half empty bottles of carbonated beverages. Since I was still congested I didn't have the pleasure of smelling her car for I know it had to stink in there. Praise the Lord for a head cold. LOL. We get to the movies and we pick out our seats. Oh forget to tell you guys the other young lady with us was her niece who is very cute but a bit off her rocker. Well my plus size friend could not fit into the seats. Now rehashing this story to my mother I told her I would have cried and ran to the nearest gym or jenny craig because I don't know how I would feel about myself if I couldn't fit into a seat at the movie theater. We watch the movie and it was great.

Now Miss Thang wants to cruise the mall. As we walk through the mall we get a few gasps and stank eye stares but I choose to ignore them for I know they just as confused as I was about my friends attire. Later on a very nice looking keeb walks by and her niece tells her that the gentleman was staring at her. She goes on to mention oh maybe its one of my masterman classmates. To know her is to know she's one of those individuals who has to let everyone know she's intelligent which to me is very annoying because its so not necessary. She brags that she went to masterman, girls high, and harvard. I give her props but to know me is to know things like that don't impress me none in the least. Well her niece then told her no I think he though you were attractive. Then she said, ..."well I am fine because I'm a child of God" I then broke out into a coughing attack...

All this to say wow. I have to really work on my self-confidence for this young lady exudes tons of it. So that was my Saturday.....

weekend review

so sleepy. saw h(dot)potter this morning, 930ish. enjoyed it thoroughly. it wasn't extremely detailed, but it was amazingly fun. got my ron weasley fix. also there was a 20 minute 3-d segment...i have never gotten to enjoy 3-d since this generation all but gave up on it...but it was brilliant-looking.
saw hot cop neighbor...in a wife-beater...him:leaving me:coming (with an "o" LOL). he was teasing me, standing on the opposite side of the door asking if i live here...i was like "the real question is do YOU live here...i never see you" which is actually untrue, i see him from my window all the time, but that's not the same. and if he hadn't had his phone glued to his ear i would have engaged him in conversation...but alas, he was leaving, probably to go see his woman who may as well just move in as much as she's here. saw him yesterday or night before in a suit w/ vest....sexy bastard. ugh. reminds me, i haven't seen his daughter in about 2mos. hrm...romance must be hot&heavy. wish i could say the same for my personal life.
wanted: hot sexy man who looks dangerous in a wife-beater, must have gov't-issued handcuffs and be approximately 6'1 and have an easy smile.
clearly i need a nap.

getting on task

okay been surfing the web when i should be doing my homework.....not really motivated at this point but lately i haven't been motivated to do anything....maybe because i've been in school since 2005 and in the words of K. Cole..."i just want it to be over".....i have just a few weeks more but trying to tackle a 80 page paper plus a 15-30 presentation is wearing thin on my nerves...*sigh*...i actually just ordered my cap and gown today so i'm a little excited....not sure if you guys can make it but my graduation is Aug. 11th in B-More.....so far the rents, baby sis, xtina and big brother k, and some of my church family are coming down....i'll totally understand if you can't make it since its out of state.....maybe we can party once eight finishes in december make it a co-lab-o.....

anywho i've been thinking about the person-we-will-not speak of lately....found out last week his brother died and i know how close they were.....fought the urge to call but said a prayer for him and his fam...since i'm cool with the nephew and it was his father that passed i texted my condolences....really didn't want to call for you-know-who and the nephew are thick as thieves...didn't want to chance he was with him when i called....not that he would be rude or disrespectful just didn't need any additional drama after we parted ways.....its weird that we're no longer friends for we had some good times when he wasn't being so flippin insecure.....*sigh*....enough of going down memory lane for that ship has sailed in my book though i can't wait for the day he no longer enters my thoughts....well let me get back to work.....TTFN

*~w8ingonablessing~*

blithering honesty in a brave new world

need money and women to help breed for a better America! Will only bang beautiful chicks!

the incredible hulk

i guess they are going to keep making this movie until it's a hit. well, with ed norton on-board they've already got my bid. i'm all about it. i hope it's good so they can let it rest. i feel like it's bad form to do it so soon after the eric bana flop...i saw that one too. *blech*

we could be Heroes...

Apparently Aishwarya Rai is going to be on 8 episodes of 'Heroes' next season as Suresh's sister...I will be tuning in if only for her scenes. Go Ash Go!

so homo...?

seriously was feeling our substitute supervisor. i'm so ashamed. she had really short hair and was tall and slim...she actually looked like "shane" from the "l word"
i honestly caught myself staring at her...i wanted to say to my classmates "she's so hot, isn't she?" but i realized how gay that would sound...unless i was talking to chrissy who is bi, and i'm sure she still may have given me a strange look...LOL
i'm grateful she's a sub and that i hopefully won't have to see her anymore. gah, i hope she didn't see me staring at her face, wedding band, shoulders...wow, i am having a pink team moment. i need a jolt of testosterone, stat!

take a bow

when my hands get idle i find the most bizarre things and think the most
bizarre thoughts. well, if bipasha basu is making out with cristiano
ronaldo...then who's cuddling up with john abraham? me, that's who. well, in my
dreams anyhow. this man...is so gorgeous...dimples, and
muscles, and just manly as hell. he's my #2 man after abhishek and since abhi's
married now...and john and bips look like they're off...crush #1833 is on.
me+john abraham+tree+k.i.ss.i.n.g+love+marriage...etc...

this love dedication goes out to you john...where ever you
are:

Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Light are low, the curtains down
There's no one here[There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd]
Say your lines but do you feel them
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around [no one around]
Watching you, watching me, one lonely star[One lonely star you don't know who you are]
Chorus:
I've always been in love with you [always with you]
I guess you've always known it's true [you know it's true]
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye
Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye
Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart [breaking my heart]
Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
[Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown]
Wish you well, I cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played [role that you played]
No more masquerade, you're one lonely star
[One lonely star and you don't know who you are]
(chorus, repeat)
Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye
All the world is a stage [world is a stage]
And everyone has their part [has their part]
But how was I to know which way the story'd go
How was I to know you'd break
[You'd break, you'd break, you'd break]
You'd break my heart
I've always been in love with you
[I've always been in love with you]
Guess you've always known
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye
(chorus)
Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye
Say good-bye

And now, for your musical pleasure.....

Confession

I not-so-secretly lust Chris Brown. I'm not worried about our 10-yr age gap. He makes me unashamed to be a cougar. I am so excited about watching his 18th birthday on MTV tonight...it's like...he's legally doable now...and that IS cause for celebration. He just has so much cuteness potential. He still has his little boy face, and he's growing into all of that height...he's still a little awkward (which according to Jovan is something I look for universally...perhaps that's true). The little innocent-faced boys who talk like they are sexually experienced beyond their young years do it for me. The innocent look is integral though...it also helps if they are from VA...Trey Songz, Chris Brown...LOVE them! Something like "Pretty Ricky" is not acceptable and unappealing on a level I don't care to explain.

Bring on the sweetfaced young men....mmmmmm. Happy [belated] Birthday Chris Brown...

I wanna see if he can "run it run it" *giggle*

upskirts and such...lol

as some of you may know, i went to catholic school for 1st and 2nd grades. my big brother was at the same school, but we rarely saw each other since he was in the upper floors for middle school kids. he did see me, however, many days after school, when i was in detention, which seems like always. anyways...our required uniform was a navy plaid with a white or yellow shirt...sorta like this :

everyday for 2 years...i wore this thing. hell for a tomboy. well, this blog is about why i really don't care for skirts/dresses...reasons other than that pesky draft you get from the air hitting your raw undie-clad ass. in catholic school, boys are really rambunctious and it was common practice to look up the skirts of their female counterparts...more than you would in public school, since you know your target is wearing a skirt DAILY. anyway...i just had a flashback of all the girls lined up in the "cloak room" hanging up our awful green sweaters...and a couple of the "naughty" boys rolling along the floor behind us, looking up each skirt per rotation. one girl shouted "they're white just like everyone elses!" (she clearly didn't have Penny for a mother b/c my underwear were an array of pastel colors and some had days of the week on them). but i digress...seeing these boys approaching my unprotected girly-bits, i back-pedalled and stood on his hand as he attempted a peek...this garnered screams of agony and the attention of the teacher.

anyway, the lesson is, don't look up the tomboy's skirt...ALTHOUGH, the previous year...i had been flashing my thighs and undies to anyone who looked my way (mostly amongst us girls..until some stupid boy told on us) this landed me standing in a corner for probably a half hour or more...but, that's the life of a rebel, dammit!

since catholic school which was overall a bad experience...i've never really cared to wear skirts or dresses...i may have had my fill i guess. i'm wearing a skirt tomorrow...watch out world!

BLAH...

I seriously think I have a mood disorder LMAO! Today I woke up, late as usual, but in the best mood I have been in like a LONG time! Like REALLY LONG TIME. I mean this was beyond "I got some last night" happy. I didn't get any last night, but you know what I mean.

I felt like Snow White walking down the street smiling at the animals, saying "good morning!" to people walking by. I didn't even cuss out the idiot that decided he wanted to go through the stop sign as I was crossing the street (one of these days I am so catchin' a bullet).

2 days ago though, if you looked at me the wrong way I was ready to gut you from belt buckle to necklace. And I still have this urge to punch someone in the neck. Ok, sounding a little violent here. Sorry....but I do want to punch someone in the neck one day.

And now my day is gettin even better b/c the phones still aren't working so I get to go home in about 45minutes! KEWL BEANZ!!!!


Oh, and Ciara's 'Like A Boy' has become my new 'How To Handle an A$$hole' guide to men...HAHAHAHA!

back in the saddle

today was my first day back on-campus in 2 weeks. it was hard to really "tune in"
i find my mind wandering to really unfortunate places during class...like whole obscene scenarios...seriously imaginative stuff. i am always afraid i'm going to have a breakdown in class and blurt out something inappropriate like "blowjob!" i think i'm going crazy. i attended the first weekly session of a studygroup for our comprehensive examinations. so far it sounds like we've got a great team. slack suggested we get team t-shirts with "3 or go home" on them...3 is the minimum passing grade. i <3 slack. she is so clutch for random funny moments...as is kara.

the best thing i did on campus was dl the first portishead cd...which miraculously i didn't have...which is shocking b/c i'm all about triphop. anyway, looking forward to this weekend...a reunion of sorts...fun in the sun!

i am SO tired...but i have a symphony bar so all is right with the world.

another mcfadden's happyhour is on the horizon...when i get details i will pass them along.

A little of this, a little of that....

The phones aren't working at my job so I haven't taken a call all day.

4th of July sucked donkey d!cks.

Had allergic reaction to God knows what so I spent the past 2 days looking like the pretty cousin of The Elephant Man.

Got some new CDs (Fergie, Justin Timberlake, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Mat Kearney, Ciara, Beyonce, Fall Out Boy, Corinne Bailey Rae, Robin Thicke). Haven't even opened half of them...b/c I'm lazy.

Need to lose about 20-30 more lbs...but I'm lazy remember?

Lunatic Male from last post is on some jealousy kick. Hope this doesn't turn out like some bad Lifetime movie. Who would play me in the film?

Um, I don't think I have anything else to write about.

Oh yeah, I don't work with any hot guys. This sucks!

Finally....

Okay so I forgot my password.....I have like a billion of the them floating around in my head its a wonder I can remember anything.

Anywho, been cracking up at the posts thus far. I really don't have much to vent about though I failed to complete a very critical assignment for my DRP class. DRP stands for Directed Research Project. I was suppose to submit my topic for my thesis as well as my problem statement and sub-question for my paper. I also crapped myself when I viewed the blackboard and saw my professor's comments about my other classmates needing to go back to the drawing board. Lucky for me I already have 21 pages already typed up so I was able to comply my assignment and submit it to him yesterday afternoon. I got a response from the professor this morning telling me I did a great job and I need to stay abreast of my assignment outline. Can you say I was very relieved. *sigh*

Now I need to bust out my finance homework so I can totally enjoy this weekend. I'm so amped for our day at AC. Since its 7/7/07 maybe we'll all hit the jackpot and come back millionaire. LOL

its about mf time!!!!!

i am such a flintstone :-P .....but im finally up on this bbbbbbbbbiiiiiiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaatch! lol. hey guys

Transformers...verdict 2

saw it as a matinee....with a theater full of 5-7 year olds...LOL
gotta say, they make anything better with their new eyes and ooo's and aaah's.
the movie itself was ok...the plot was simply hard-to-follow most of the time...sort of had 3-4 stories going on at once...which would have been fine outside of an action film...but since most camera time is spent blowing shit up, loose ends abound.
but that's ok...b/c the major purpose of the film, building the franchise, is a success. 'the transformers' are going to make money off of my generation and the young'uns for a few more years to come.
ditto with chuck...shia is the new hot little jewish actor that will be in every "everyman" part for the next year and a half...he's like a "not as sexy, not as talented" ed norton, for kids. likable and convincing in his role. megan fox...well, she'll be "the hot chick" in every movie where you need a girl with tight abs who looks like she sucks c*ck in her spare time. she's really sexy...in a straight-up pornstar way. so is the other main female in the film, think...same idea, just blonde, and aussie.
the robots themselves are great...even the stereotypical "negro" bot, Jazz. lol...oh Jazz, must you breakdance everywhere? Starscream (my personal fave) has a small, negligible part...and for the most part, so does Megatron. Optimus Prime is so well-done it nearly inspires tears (i'm not joking) amazing what the having the same voice-actor from the cartoon will do. Bumblebee...is the star of this film...the one robot you really "care" about...and just an all-out scenestealer. if not for him, I would probably not have enjoyed the movie.
Overall, it was very amusing, I got a little visually tired about 3/4ths through...see it for the cool robots, and hope that the sequel spends more time developing them (instead of introducing ridiculous subplots) so that it's truly worthwhile.

my favorite band

editors- have the number one cd in the UK this week (which is great, b/c that's where they're from).
they became my favorite band in 2005...i went to see them and i just LOVE this group. i cannot wait for them to come back to the states. almost hoping they don't get too big too fast b/c i like seeing bands in small venues.
a few years ago i promised myself i'd see more live music..and can proudly say i have:
editors, inxs, bloc party, coldplay, radiohead, prince, erykah badu, talib kweli, dave chappelle, maroon 5, fiona apple, alicia keys, john legend, usher, and soon amy winehouse!!!!

Where do I begin....?

Let's talk about the LUNACY of (some) men, shall we? This is one of my favorite topics because it never ceases to amaze me as to what some men, or people in general, really think they can get away with. And let me stress, THIS IS NOT A MALE BASHING RANT. Notice I did say SOME men, not ALL men or even MOST men.

This is the scenario: Girl meets boy. Girl and boy begin chatting it up and hanging out. Girl starts to like boy, but boy just wants to be friends. Ok, cool. Girl gets text from Boy's cell phone at 2 in the morning from his GIRLFRIEND asking Girl to not call back. Girl tells Boy hanging out is no longer option. Boy still calls Girl daily wanting to hang out. Girl wants to have fun so she still hangs out with Boy. Girl goes away for weekend and Boy tries to pull some "don't cheat on me" craziness, "who are you going to see?", "If it's a guy, you lost a friend...." BLAH BLAH CRAZY BLAH.

Let's recap: Boy has girlfriend that Girl never knew about. Girl is unattached and has been labeled "FRIEND" by Boy. So why is it that Boy thinks he can dictate what Girl does, thinks that he is entitled to ask questions about who Girl is seeing or what she is doing?
