i've got fans and i'm a bitch [fixed and reposted]

okay! i've fixed the email form! go ahead and resubmit. same post, just spiffied up:
  1. 4 return visits. 

  2. i've got the IP addy

  3. i can even kind of tell what area of town she stays in. 

  4. referring link is that of one of my blogger friends. 

  5. and this is NOT the first time that she's been so smart; look at my "advice" to her.

i feel really lame for being the target of a mindless internet grudge and i hate having to feel upset and angry! but some folks are just ape-shit crazy and don't know how to move on.

she's pregnant by my undeserving and sloppy leftovers, emailed me admitting to a sad and self-conscious struggle with trying to be "better" than me [poor girl, it will NEVER happen that way], and borrows folks' blogger friends, just like a mature mother, to fill her void of a life? looks like someone not only doesn't have a life but is trying to be a second-rate copy and live mine. it's a sad, sad thing when folks living in their own alternate realities can't see the truth, but it's entirely flattering! thank you, ladies and gentlemen.. i am thankful for every schizo fan..

i'm honestly never a bitch unless it is absolutely necessary. i'm tired of feeling like i'm throwing a mangy, stray cat away just for the thing to return because i fed it once! so to stop the feeding...

TP & PP is going "friends only" like my old LiveJournal days. here's to more candid posts and protecting your email addresses [and my ass] if you're interested! here's to me moving on and away again. here's to the world continuing to turn.

the f-word and jokes!

i got pissed because my appointment just called me "sweetheart" at my job. silly boy. here are some rude jokes to make me laugh and feel better. not really feminist, just mean!
Q: What did God say after he created man?
A: "I can do better than this" and he made woman.

"Eighty percent of married men cheat in America. The rest cheat in Europe."
-Jackie Mason 

Q: Why are all dumb blond jokes one liners?
A: So men can understand them.

Q: Why do men like BMWs?
A: They can spell it.

Q: Why do men name their penises?
A: Because they don't like the idea of having a stranger make 99% of their decisions.

Q: Why are men like noodles?
A: They are always in hot water . They lack taste. They need dough.  
alright. i feel better now. and i agree that these are mean! i don't really think like this [except for maybe the first one...]. honestly, if that guy knew me, "sweetheart" would be the last thing he thought about me! i'm a woman, but i'm only a "lady" when i can afford to be one. i'm strong. i'm a tart--a cherry tart.

girl love.

i'm still studying. and i'm starving, btw. someone go fetch me a Subway roasted chicken salad.

i've been a shitty presence in the blog world: been busy taking my fake girlfriend to buy wigs and spending way too much money at KFC. been camped out on my sofa reading at least three books at a time. i really just want to finish my finals and get home to my family and Andy's mother's cooking family. how is YOUR life?

hope that you're not wasting any time by being jealous. i'll explain:

aside from just filling your life with negative energy, jealousy and losing control of that emotion can lead you down a detrimental path and even cause you friend, or just some time you could be using to buy me groceries before i collapse.

Gala wrote a great article about girl love--and not the kind that Lindsey Lohan has for her DJ woman. it's short; go ahead and read it.

even if you don't want to be friends with a girl, definitely don't focus your energies on being nasty to her or even thinking nasty things about her. it's so trivial. instead, fix what it is inside of you that is weak enough and making you insecure enough to dislike her. and then avoid her. you don't have to love the bitch, but you don't want to go around getting wrinkles and being bitter with your "friends" while you all chain smoke and whisper bad things about people in the corner--not that i used to do this to everybody, that is.

when i was younger, i was bullied--ALOT. girls hated me, cut my hair, were nasty to me, tried to hit me, etc. and i didn't do anything to deserve it. i never did anything to cross them. i never looked for a fight. i pretty much stayed in my Francine Pascal's Fearless books and listened to *NSYNC [shut up]. at the time, it made me miserable and confused that these girls hated me so much, but now i've since chalked it up to jealousy.

and it's hilarious, because in my mind, i had nothing to be jealous of! the other girls were the ones with all of the friends and name-brand clothes! i was a loser with weird music and second hand clothes. i STILL have second hand clothes and i'm frankly pissed that being thrifty and vintage is in style now when i never had a choice otherwise! funny, funny, funny.

clearly it doesn't take a genius to fake confidence or happiness and it takes nothing less than a strong, fabulous woman to pursue genuine satisfaction.

right now, i'd say that i'm on a positive path, or at least i hope so: i love my family, i've developed some genuine friendships, i have a phenomenal man, i'm successful.. these are things that i didn't have to buy or force myself into for the convenience and comfort. hell, i was single for a damned year before me and Andy hooked up [it wasn't a rebound or desperation]. and if i ever find myself not liking a lady for whatever reason, i avoid her instead of wasting time and energy ranting about her--or i fix whatever is in myself that might make me jealous of her. because frankly, if i'm being the best person that i can be, then i don't have time to think about another woman, let alone dislike her for shit that she didn't even do to me!

but if some lady DOES do something to you, then disregard good reason and flat all of her tires with a knife.


i'm kidding. or, at least don't blame me if you get caught. be sneaky.

the end and i feel fine [because it's BS]

i'm not allowing you to comment because i'm not around to comment lately. studying is taking over my life, although i made some time to get my hair untangled and clean. i'm at our Science majors' library waiting on my sexy Libran girlfriend to get here. isn't she adorable? i blame it all on her new lip piercing--and she pretty much bums me all of the Camels i want [most of the time]. gotta love Finals.
okay, i'm not dating her. Andy is still my only one. she's just one of the few women who aren't sickening to be around. gotta be because we're both of Venus. her middle name is my first name. she likes the same sorority i do. our birthdays are days apart. we love the same cigs [when we haven't quit]. she gets on my damned nerves.

and if anyone is scared about 2012, get over it: you will see the day ofter Doomsday. The Rapture won't happen because too many people are expecting it. the planet will stay in orbit. it has done so on every 12/21 since the beginning of Time. it has been made certain to me that this day will be nothing to worry about, but it will be weird!

i was pretty antsy about this at one time--i was one of those people in my teens scared off of my ass on the 2000 new year. i was expecting Jesus to break through the ceiling and take me away from the MTV countdown. it hasn't happened yet. it hasn't happened during any of the hundreds of other Doomsday prophecies. it won't happen 12/21/2012 [unless Palin is elected say some funny people].

lighten up. wish me luck on my exams. listen to old Sugar Ray singles. paint your toenails. paint my toenails. pay for prescription of BC. get ready for summer!

how else but through a broken heart may Lord Christ enter in?

i feel my depression taking a downward turn. i don't have motivation to blog or comment these days--sorry. not to mention, i've got a couple of exams to study for. i can't stay in a chipper mood all of the time! i need some space and time. i need my new book and tangible comfort. i need my family, my doctor, and my boyfriend [and maybe a new PS2 game]. hopefully Easter Break will be filled with this for me. it's about time for me to slow down and experience life. it's about time that somebody serenaded me and then did other stuff to me. i feel really awful, and i hate myself for getting like this. depression is a real issue and it should be managed. silly me for not taking care of myself! have a great week and i'll return all better very soon!

!!!

i'm excited and scared. after a skipped period and a month of feeling funny, i'll reveal that me and Andy are pregnant.

we're going to have a polka-dotted or a zebra-striped biracial baby. it's going to be gorgeous apparently if folks already literally stop and tell us that the "caramel-colored" babies [that i have no choice but to have] will be cute, cute, cute. our kids will learn to play fiddle/violin instead of watch TV. they'll read comics and classic stuff. we're having a courthouse wedding soon. we just need $30 for the license and matching syphilis tests. rings are inexpensive, but not important. we might go the sterling silver route. i won't be wearing the dress that i already have; i've got a suit. or maybe i'll just wear my high school cheerleading uniform. we'll eat at Taco Bell afterward and celebrate with sherbet punch and bootleg movies. i'll get a name change kit to officially be Cherry Dillon. my life will be complete.

my life will be over.







Happy April Fools' Day!
this has been a bad joke. i hope that i don't have to explain to anyone that my uterus is actually empty. no baby for me. i'm too selfish/broke/busy. hope that i've reminded you to use contraception! use a condom, shake hands, and be on your way!

some feminism.

entertain me if you're brave enough.
  1. why don't more men take their wives' last name when they marry? why do so many people find it necessary to take the other person's last name anyway? i'm almost certain that i'll keep mine. maybe.
  2. why is a woman's issue, such as fertility control facing such a reduction of rights at the legislation of men? they don't even have ovaries, but they can tell me what to do with my body. i call bullshit. as special as our bodies are, we should have special allowances. we shouldn't be punished for being great! c'mon Constitution! women are people too! ladies, "We shall overcome!"
  3. WalMart won't sell PlanB. thanks guys!
  4. there is a huge birth control price hike going on. this is counterproductive.
  5. lots [way too many] states have unconstitutional holds on abortion access. many of the state legislators are men. i wish dumb folks like the governor from my home state could temporarily be disenfranchised when it comes to things like this. his backwater, redneck, tobacco dipping ass.. men like him make me want to cry.
  6. sex toys can't be sold in my home state?!! as extremely hard as it is for a lady to reach orgasm through sex, now she can't even get pleasure from herself? but strip clubs are okay. and crimes like sexual harassment, domestic violence, and rape aren't punished harshly enough if you ask me. women have become the prisoners and slaves of their own society.
  7. men have a defunct genome, but they're superior enough to rule over themselves and women since when? seriously guys: be sensitive to a woman's issue or don't vote. go jump off of a bridge. all in favor of a female monarch after Obama finishes being sexy in office say "Aye!"
  8. Dead Men Don't Rape. men=monsters. sounds very radical and hateful. they aren't my exact sentiment. BUT they have some disgusting basis. sad to admit it. how many men do you know carry pepper spray with them at night?
  9. wait a minute. you want me to to get a chemical burn to make sure that my legs are hairless. you want me to wear bras, impractical little heels, and face paint [because i don't look good enough]. i have to suck in my stomach, douche my vagina full of poison because you can't handle the way a real woman smells, cover up my body because you can't keep your eyes in your head... sounds like the other sex has a bit more of a problem with ladies do than we do with ourselves. almost sounds like society hates us. it's their problem. they should date men. or fuck dolls. when did feminine become synonymous to impractical? why oh why?
  10. my period doesn't make me unclean or scary. it's the most beautiful thing that my body can do. i don't need to douse myself in perfume and limit my activity because the world is afraid of the wonderful thing that my body does. i am the instrument of Creation [only when i choose to be]!
  11. i'm lesbian because i'm making sense to you? where is your logic, dude?! actually i might go lesbian because idiots like you make me actually want to date another being as out-of-it's-mind as me. hell, we can share shoes.
  12. stop saying "chicks, cougars, creatures, sweetheart, cunts, etc" stop naming your instruments and cars after women. stop naming hurricanes and tropical storms and such women's names. stop it right now.
------------------------------
Go do this now
i know i'm pretty radical. it's my job, or nearly is. i can't wait to be the greatest gynecologist, most vocal woman's rights activist, president of my state's chapter of NOW, author of several books, etc.. but you don't have to be. leave the hard stuff up to the professionals! here is what you can do:

  1. go to Planned Parenthood website and see what you can do to support progress in your area. don't have a facility in your state? there's your need for progress right there!
  2. go to the NARAL website and see how woman friendly your state rates up. it can't be any more disgusting than my own.. my History teacher gave me that website in high school after i emailed out a petition against the governor's action and mailed him a letter! i love ladies with sense! so cool! i still got a C in her class...
  3. go to the NOW website. i love them and they're always looking for support AND they'll mail you some really sweet stickers for your car!
  4. go watch the Vagina Monologues. seriously!
  5. Rihanna [or however you spell this misguided girl's name] is crazy. this website is not.
  6. go to Bust.com! have fun!
  7. dress as Wonder Woman or Poison Ivy! they're hot ladies, they're strong, and they don't let a man tell them what to do! who would dare?!
--------------------------------------------
i am NOT a man-hating [or Republican-hating], natural-smelling, bitter, cat owning, PMSing, boot-wearing lesbian person. sorry if i seemed so. don't let me scare you off. i actually love men. i generally want to put things up their asses for my pleasure. many men are wonderful. my brothers, my uncles, my boyfriend and his dad and brothers are all beautiful men. men do so much for me, for this country. they are heroes at war. they are protectors, they are single parents. they are amazing lovers. they can be the most polite gentlemen and some of the most intelligent people i'll ever know, unless they happen to be the governor of a very damned, very Red, very backwards state. some of the raddest feminists are men and i thank them for their support. i do not believe that women are superior [even if we are pretty rad]. i support equal relations and respect among all human beings, no matter what gender or sex that they identify with. if you want to take issue with something i've posted, go ahead. it's healthy and i might have been a bit violent and obsessive. i just want everyone to recognize how amazing ladies are! i'll admit it--i'm not perfect! only very nearly so.

and then, of course, my Libra senses tell me to equally rant against the stupid, useless, disgusting women blighting the face of the earth. but that is another post that i will have just as much fun with.


YUCK, right?! thx, here.

why don't you live?

my advice to you:
  • count to discover if your menstrual cycle is exactly 28 days long or not. mine is!
  • paint your nails a garish red.
  • next time you get sick, take an effective dosage of grape-flavored kiddie Tylenol instead of  an adult medicine.
  • turn one of your zits into a mole with an eyeliner.
  • close your door and play some good, ole 90s grunge rock very softly.
  • shave your legs with a very sharp razor and go to bed with brand new sheets.
  • make coffee at midnight.
  • quote poets and writers in your Tweets.
  • wear lavender mascara and count how many special people notice.
  • greet a beautiful person in French.
  • quit smoking!
  • wear your hair in a beehive or bouffant.
  • drink more water [through a pink straw].
  • learn a song by the Jive Bombers and sing it in your idle time.
  • tell yourself to not give a shit what people think and then really don't.
  • go to bed in nothing but your favorite perfume and some lipstick.
  • take a bunch of vanity shots of yourself smiling [even if you have a crappy camera] because no one else is as unique and as fabulous as you are at this moment and the world needs proof. bonus points if you link a photo in a comment!
  • talk to yourself more often and call yourself Baby. you should always be your own significant other first.
  • wear one of your best friend's clothing items.
  • wake up and tell yourself that something good will happen to you that day. it will, i promise! try it.
  • go forth and be "violently happy."

things i fucking hate thursday!

it's Thursday and i should be busy loving things, but i have a stronger urge to wax on some things that have earned my HATE.

  1. attention whores, name-brand bitches, vapid sluts--MANY girls today
  2. misogynists who disguise themselves behind religion and the absurd belief that such notions are "cool" and are too fucking stupid/disgusting to realize it--AND the women who aren't absolutely enraged by it
  3. women who play dumb/weak/the victim just because they are women--act like you deserve respect and you might just get some! c'mon, ladies.. we've come a long way, baby!
  4. mornings and having to be up early. it's unnatural!
  5. emulation to the point of suffering an identity complex
  6. folks so painfully unaware of their personality disorder[s] that they put others in an equal pain
  7. insomnia. heh. maybe i should cry in between Bob's sweating bitch tits that hang enormous the way you think of God's as big..
  8. ignorant Southern Baptists giving everyone the "amen enema" while evading some truths [like the two Creation stories and the racists and the sexists] like a clam and actually causing more atheism. good job. really.
  9. FX not returning with Rescue Me and Sons of Anarchy soon enough!
  10. having dreams in which i know that i'm dreaming and overworking my brain wake myself up unconsciously until it transfers over into a physical sense! weird!
i'm done. i'm blaming it on my sinuses. the weather is changing too fast too often and i can't get well. so, what would a similar list of yours have?

do you jizz?

i'm just crazy about my lady regions. never mind that i should be studying instead of baking a cake and thinking about self-love. you should be in love with your plumbing, too. boys get to name their parts and touch them everyday when they go pee. a lot of women don't even know what everything is called down there. a shame!

The-Clitoris.com
is such a great place. i just adore reading the extremely informative articles about things such as outercourse, arousal and orgasm, and sexual desire. i sent my boyfriend the one on cunnilingus and he was slightly offended, but i hope he highlighted and took notes. even if you don't have a guy or a girl to do such great things for you, go read the [lovely] articles on masturbation, body image, sexual fantasy, etc. it's all about the promotion of female pleasure and health. parfait!

then go buy some shmexy skank-whore panties. these are mine that i blew a whole $3 on today:

just wear them for the hell of it, just to know that you've got red lace running up the crack of your ass and that it looks damned hot on you. then hop in your bed with your vibrator, or just your right hand and some good music. don't stop until you've cum at least three times.

1) "I Touch Myself" by The Divinyls
2) "Shake It" by Metro Station
3) "Rid of Me" by P. J. Harvey
4) "Criminal" by Fiona Apple
5) "Turning Japanese" by The Vapors

or if you have a partner [still don't stop until you have cum at least three times]:
1) Anything that comes of of Marvin Gaye's mouth
2) "Oochie Wally" by Nas
3) "Blindfold Me" by Kelis
4) "Pony" by Ginuwine
5) the sound of that lucky person's heavy breathing

there is just so much sexiness wafting around right now. so much, that i feel overwhelmed. yes, it's possible. did you know that Michel Germain created Sexual pour Homme, a cologne with pheromones and aphrodisiacs in it to enhance the male sexuality? can you imagine what that will do to you? have you drooling and dropping your pants in front of anybody wearing it, that's what. also, CAT position during nookie will get you off in two minutes. andy better revise his plans to play Monopoly! order some condoms personalized with a picture of your favorite character from a movie. have fun with your sexuality and your body, especially the lady regions. the clitoris has way many more nerve endings than the entire penis does. female power!

i'm done. i've got to get to downloading some appropriate music and making preparations to look hotter than solar lava.

tag!

all of you bitches who tagged me better effing read this or i will come visit you and make you eat something that i cooked.
-----------------------------------------
1.Each blogger must post these rules first.
2.Each blogger starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
3.Blogger that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their 8 things.
4.At the end of your blog,you need to choose 8 people to get tagged and list their names.
5.Don't forget to leave them a comment, telling them that they've been tagged and to read your blog.
------------------------------------------
1) i start to sneeze when i get really aroused. honestly. weird, i know. if my door is locked and you hear me sneezing, just come back in 15 minutes because i'm more than likely busy.
2) my mom is sick and it breaks my heart that someone so good has to suffer. it makes me feel helpless and scared for myself. and then she calls me and jokes about me being a clueless skank and it's all better.
3) i have two cigarette burns: one on either hand.
4) i'm such a tense person that my shoulders are frozen in an "up" position. i have to pause and make myself relax them.
5) i don't think that i've ever been this happy [which is way sad in itself], but it pisses me off because i don't want it to be due to some man, no matter how wonderful he is.
6) i like cats more than most people. yes, even you.
7) i'm actually so smart that i have no common sense. i have no idea what directions are. i put my shoes on the wrong feet. i can't cook without giving someone food poisoning. i can't even remember to eat enough times a day to not feel faint and awful.
8) when i consider my past, i smile SO BIG. i get sad sometimes, but my life isn't sad, as in pathetic and hilarious! and i've just concluded: i don't have lots of friends because cheap folks don't flock to me to make their own lives feel more substantial. they can't because it doesn't work; i actually deserve respect. "friendship" is often synonymous to one person [the one who believes in the friendship] being a fool.

i'm not a dummy like that! i just don't know where i'm going when i get in my car!
------------------
and i'm not tagging folks because some of you already have been tagged multiple times like myself. let's just simplify it: whoever hasn't had a turn, it's your turn now. tag! you're it, bitch!

Jan 17, 2009

i'm better and back, bitches!

my fever burning behind the eyes is gone. it was replaced by a cold last night. but i took what i'm almost certain was a sinus pill, and i'm A-OK today. i'm loving my new place. i feel all snooty and grown-up. it's a gated apartment complex and i have a fancy parking decal and a mailbox! i've got an address! part of the city now, and not just the school! me and T [my only roomie and also my besite which is very convenient] have decorated really cutely and trashed the place each weekend for "hanging out" with our friends who don't have a place suitable for entertaining like ours. there's a growing little chain of liquor bottles at the top of our cabinets like a trophy case. we have a Netflix subscription and have been watching season-after-season of SATC. i baked a cake in our new full kitchen with new appliances and marble counters. it's edible; i tried it!

school is back in full swing and all of my classes are depressing. my economics professor ends each class with a note about melting glaciers in 40 years. it makes me not want to have children and commit suicide before things get worse.

my man left for the Inauguration this morning. i'm proud of him and his school's orchestra: they get to play for the Chief Executive! here's a little note he left me this morning:
I am getting more excited about our trip the closer it gets. We got an unexpected check from the Alumni Association for our concert this morning. We will get to use the money for spending cash. I will now be able to afford to go to the official inaugural ball. We sounded great at rehearsal tonight. I am super excited. I may not have access to the internet while I'm up there. I will call you. I am looking forward to valentine's day. We will have to come up with a plan for something to do. I miss you and love you. I will call you when I get into the hotel tomorrow night. and I was joking about the cake. I'm proud of you. I'm sure it was amazing or at least edible.
aww, right?

and here's more positiveness when i really appreciate it these days:
  • a clean apartment
  • my new vibrator
  • my man telling me that he feels like i'm the woman that he's supposed to be with!
  • cheap, cute clothes to make me feel pretty
  • my real hair which is way down my back now thanks to the weaving
  • coffee that i made myself and the feeling of that five dollars still in my pockets
  • Radiohead
  • vintage hairdos that do not go out of style
  • Hope. Change. Woman Love & Activism (yes, i'm a BIG one of those F-words!!!)
ciao!

I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way!"--Frank Sinatra in "My Way"

picture perfect.

i stole this idea from Bryanna! not my creativity, here; it belongs to her. this is my "picture perfect" life. beware: it might be too weird to love!

my lover would be either Lestat de Lioncourt or Ville Valo of H. I. M. ha, MRoS! Lestat is my vampire lover. he's about 250 years old from L'Auvergne France and he's such a gorgeous Brat Prince. i often quote him. Lestat is the self proclaimed "Gentleman Death in silk and lace, come to put out the candles--the canker in the heart of the rose," or something like that [i'm relying on memory, here]. Ville is also very pretty to look at, but he smokes so i might relapse :( i don't know: there's just something about those stunning, light eyes and his angelic voice. i want to lick his tattoos!

From Untitled Album
yeah, Tom Cruise as the most blasphemous vampire created.
 
From Untitled Album
Ville Valo is so hot. go YouTube "Sacrament" by H. I. M.

this would be the place of my wedding--the French Quarter! i want a bilingual ceremony at some antiquated venue, thankyouverymuch. then there would be a lovely reception maybe at Le Pavilion hotel, or Saint Louis Cemetary #1.
this would be the style of my home. very vintage french chic. i like baroque and romantic things. i want a spacious house in Paris with reminders of old glamour and weird bathrooms. the inside will be geeked out with antique posters and manga. i'll play Charles Aznavour and Frank Sinatra all day.
From Untitled Album
this is a scene from the movie The Dreamers, which was a lovely mind fuck.

this would be my appearance. i like the burlesque look of the golden age; it's timeless and sexy! i'm going to be a future red-headed or blonde wench who looks like a flapper or a girl from the 40s! oh, la la! i'm already well-practiced at the fake beauty marks and overdone makeup!
From Untitled Album
this is Jessica Rabbit, Rodger Rabbit's wife

From Untitled Album
these are some burlesque performers. i don't know their names!

so, in a nutshell:
i want a gorgeous and brooding lover. i want the lifestyle of a francophile sensualist. i want to look like Betty Grable or Joséphine Baker while i waltz around being a fabulous and bilingual physician.

alright, c'est votre tour! it's your turn!

crushes and a survey.

cherry here, reminding the readers that this blog can sometimes be reduced to nothing but an ornamented tribute to her ego [and her libido. look at Mr. Glover there!]

this is a survey that i ripped from a friend, Bookish.Spazz, who surely ripped it from elsewhere and whatnot. pass it along! i've already seen it several times and the answers are all so interesting. here are my own:

If a significant other broke up with you, what Artist/Band would you blast from your radio and why?
-i would so blast Placebo. they're a pop band, but they are divine! they're known as Britain's dirtiest band and the lyrics are sexually charged and full of angst, medication, and makeup. that's the perfect equation, if you ask me!

"Every step that's synchronized, every broken bone / Reminds me of the seventh time / That I followed you home."

What piece of literature poetry/story (songs don't count) is your favourite, and which is your least favourite?  Why?

-Fave: The Lord of the Rings because completing it is like my trophy. it's so darn long and i have a soft spot for fiction, fairy tales, and elves who look like Orlando Bloom, i imagine. 

Least Fave: The Heart of Darkness because i don't like people exploiting Africa, even if the product is only a book. and maybe my teacher did a bad job of teaching this one.

Do you think Vegetarianism is an ideal way of life?

-i've tried it at least once, so i obviously think that vegetarianism is admirable for some reason. i don't bother to do it now; it's not really practical for me. but i think that it can be a good choice for anyone if they choose to do so. just watch the protein intake--take vitamins and eat lots of nuts and such.

What do you look for in potential friends (qualities, looks, etc.)?

-a vibe. all of my worthy friends have an eccentric vibe that i have picked up on. we mesh with values and beliefs. we're opinionated and zealous. we love value, not price. we read capital-L Literature, not smut by Zane. we are all cosmopolitan with huge vocabularies and scandalous stories to tell. looks are definitely not important. most of my friends are the aloof, intelligent type who are really sweet as can be. i don't click well with superficial types or dramatic ones. and obvious mental disorders are a no-no: i can't be in the same room with a bipolar person or someone with ADD [and this is coming from a crazy girl]. if i think that you're crazy--you're really fucked.

What is your personal opinion of what a life goal should be?

-a life goal should be something that one does entirely for themselves. it should not be influenced in any way by another person or another force. it should be based in happiness and it should be huge! a life goal is something that you shouldn't have to explain to someone or need to have validated and accepted. there should also be no misgivings. simple contentment isn't a life goal reached. comfort and habit isn't anything! just because you're comfortable under the bridge and happy even when you're poor doesn't mean that you need to stop setting goals. i once was content with cigarettes, but a life goal of mine is to never stop quitting.

--------------------------------------------------------------
and on the other hand, today has been unusually cold for this part of the South, which means the weather finally dipped below 70 degrees. i was chic in my black velveteen blazer with my messy hair tucked in, and enjoying what is to me the first taste of true autumn weather! and i have declared this the perfect "boyfriend and soup" kind of weather. wha? you ask? i mean that this weather is perfect for hugging up with a nice tall boy who walks you to class and who drives you to a cafe or a nice deli for dinner.

and now my imagination is running away with me and all i can picture is Crispin Glover. he's my current obsession/crush. endure for a moment: he's so beautiful! and he's absolutely out of his mind because he is so brilliant! he's not cocky or even socially accepted like other celebrities. he does weird roles, like Grendel and Willard. he can capture creepiness so well and i just want to bite his nose, really. spread him on a cracker [or my mattress] and eat him alive.

wow. i really needed to get that out. so, now that that's out of my system [i need help], you go ahead and give me a list of some other pretty boys and girls that you all have crushes on and tell me why. are they pretty? smart? have really nice platform boots?

aesthetics.

Pretty!Cherry is a Belle even in a baseball cap!

i am sooo typing this from a friend's laptop right now. and i have a glass of wine already in my consumption, so this post should be all sorts of fun.

i've been thinking alot about aesthetics. about my look. here's is what i've come up with: i effing love tons of black eyeliner. i love fake beauty marks under my eye or by my mouth. it all depends on if i happen to have a zit at the time and where it is. a nose ring is not an option. it's always there. i love my golden tresses in curls and a devastatingly red lipstick. i have long, dark nails the color of oxygen-exposed blood that like to grasp my copy of The Killing Joke [comics are love]. i like lace and false eyelashes. i wear dark colors for the sophistication when my favorite color is "hooker pink." i like burlesque hints and the smirks that grace my photos. i like my antiquated fascinations... i like me because nobody else can be me--even if they try.

so simply, good people--indulge me. what are your current looks? what do you love? tell me; show me. make my day, darlings.

sad and scary. wtf?

i got this in my inbox. it's hilarious and just a tad bit scary. shyeah, there are typos galore and it doesn't even matter:
"come on now I kno U get told all the time how beautiful because its only the truth how do you feel about about me so far? how would you feel the most comfortable confiding with me about eachother I could really enjoy ur friendship an companionship baby I would be that some1 u could grow to trust an maybe one day love thats whats up.. 4 the most part I could see myself holding you on the beach under the moonlight watching firworks b4 we go to the condo an get in the hot tubb or just holding hands as we walk where the water rushes on our feet an buries our toes in the sand if we see a lil sand crab an you become affraid I will carrie you Im being serious with you R U down to get 2kno me an see how I broke the mold you'll never meet any 1 like me again they could not duplicate my style if I sold them the blu print but dont think I am boastful b/cause I NOT but I am confident in myself I kno you could respect my hustle an I bet your a girl who would be down for her man???"
for the record, this is from a a cute white guy. doesn't matter, just illustrating here. how does he know that i respond well to such jargon? in other words, does he think that just because i'm black i'm willing to "respect [his] hustle?" i can only wonder.

also for the record, this is a little scary and hopefully some other girl [of any race] can "be down" for this man because it just isn't me. protect yourselves online. there are some true creepers out there. it's funny and it's sad. i'm SO lol'ing at the sand crab bit.
