TiLT! [edited]

*now fixed for commenting!*

it's time for another lovely Things I Love Thursday! there is so much to pack into this list that i won't even try to fit in everything. i'll save some for friday. and saturday. and everyday because there's plenty to go around the entire week. woot, woot!

 

• my hair. i'm wearing my real hair now, which is amazingly long. i'm always surprised to see how far down my back it is when i remove the extensions.
• my blogger friends. i'm actually becoming quite fond of all of you bitches for some reason. y'all are just so great and pretty and fun! i just want to have a big party and bake cinnamon rolls for you while we watch Sons of Anarchy!
• my new commenting system. i hope that it isn't giving you any trouble. i know that typing in your email address is a chore, but Disqus allows for threading, which is just so cool! that means real replies instead of the @person convention! if you're interested in switching, go ahead and ask me about the experience.
  
• the fact that i can wear boots and a coat over my sundresses to winterize them. somebody's going to be cute, cute, cute tomorrow! do you do this already and does it make you feel extra feminine?
  
• one of my teachers joke flirting with me. while i was taking an exam. "You look different today [my freshly blown-out hair]! What are you doing later?" haha! you silly man!
  
• Andrew's grandmother sewing me a pink pillow! i really love her and all of my second family so much.
  
• my new, hot pink bra with a bell in the middle. you can hear me suspiciously jingling around corners... where is that coming from?
• and this new sex position that my old man and i have come up with. extra nice! excuse me for this isolated and candid emission.

anyone else who participates in Things I Love Thursday, link back to your own lists, or just tell me something nice! and it's almost the weekend! i hope everyone has some fun plans [or just some good sleep] lined up!

ciao!

random and overheard from a friend:

creepy Halloween experience one of my girls had in old University Town.

"random guy last night: "let me guess... you're aunt jemima?" me: "uhhhh no i'm little red riding hood." random guy: "omg i'm so sorry! here let me give you a hug... don't be afraid i know i'm black but i won't rape you cuz i'm actually gay." ^ weirdest encounter with a stranger i've ever had."

ahhh, the craziness and misfortune of disgustingly drunk people! i'm seriously more afraid of being raped by one of my best friends than random black guys. what a sick way to think about one's own race. heh.

Yaya!

baby, i neeeed your lovin' -- GOT to have aaaaalll your lovin'!

she's attacking my MiMaw now. MiMaw is walking on a pink cane. gotta go save her! :-D

GALA MADE ME DO IT!

i DO need a t-shirt which says Gala Made Me Do It!
i adore her and i was eager about following her advice on the uses of Jojoba Oil--SO eager, that i swiped some from my fiancé's house the day that i read her article to put it in my hair and on my face. shhhh, i'll buy another bottle for him immediately, or whenever i have the funds [which is more than likely to NOT be immediately].

here is her cute comment about my intent for blatant thievery! just some nonsense cuteness that i felt like sharing. i AM a Gala groupie and i can't deny it. [/end fangirly geekout]

i start my new job today! but where is the weekend?

my only baby.

introducing.... Yaya Smith-Dillon!

remember the news about my Yazoo City puppy? she's the only baby that i have or want. no stretch marks, child support, government assistance, or deadbeat fathers for me. i did have to use a diaper or two when creating her diet, though. ah, fuck me! Spazz got me thinking about this with her rant of sorts about the fuckery of pregnancies by "parents" who aren't prepared at all. sad. pinch a penny between your knees and you won't have anything to worry about [like how the baby weight stays in all of the wrong places].

and this is the funniest twitter EVER: shit my dad says. it's my new favorite, besides my own, of course.

i'm going out tonight. bet i won't forget to take my birth control tonight!

blog promotion for prostitutes and rockstars.

as a self-proclaimed blogging connoisseur, as proved by an existence in the Blogosphere since the mid 90s, i'm going to have so much fun with this post: i remember back, at least a decade ago, to my early days of internet whoring.. my own hosted website at an emo-named domain, LiveJournal and OpenDiary have been the instruments of my crime and vanity. my classmates and i had a circle of our vapid overshares in online diary form because we were just so cool. i've read and commented on drug abuse, oral sexin' of boyfriends, beer bashes, debates on how punk the band AFI really was / is, and other  components in the Wasteland of Teenage Angst.

as i got older and the threat of jailtime as well as permanent reputation harm became more real, i matured and formed a more purposeful vision for blogging. i got diagnosed with clinical depression and contemplated my stability online for my own welbeing, sans too many description of sexual encounters, bad music, blue hair dye, and wrist slicing. what i also got interested in was actual promotion. who would have thought that the world was bigger than just myself?! while my classmates were a supportive and depressing audience, i knew that my real friends lived in the computer, states, and even countries, away. how did i reach out to them?

• the gURL.com messageboards has a nice community of ladies who would love to jump on your blog posts if you return the favor. don't forget a shameless and artistic plug in your signature complete with a kissy picture of you and your boyfriend / girlfriend!
• if you're really vain, head to Plugboard.org and link your space with a cute button
• leave comments on other folks' blogs, network, be vain and cool
• join webrings, blog carnivals, etc.
• read some articles from Miss Gala Darling twice
• how to make money from your blog and why to never get a job
• Problogger.net, enough said
  

good luck! and if you become a millionaire celebrity with tons of readers, send me a nice thank you note!

omg omegle.com!

you know the cool site where you can talk to strangers? i think that i was textually harassed by one of the stranger of those strangers.

--------------------------

Connecting to server...

Looking for someone you can chat with. Hang on.

You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!

A word of advice: "asl" is boring. Please find something more interesting to talk about!

You: hey!

Stranger: Hey! m/f?

You: i'm female

You: yourself?

Stranger: male

Stranger: age? im 17

You: i'm 20

Stranger: ok

You: what's up?

Stranger: not much

Stranger: just kicking back

You: me too!

You: this site is pretty cool.

You: where are you from?

Stranger: i live in georgia usa

You: sweet! [my location]

Stranger: cool

You: yep. the south is great.

You: what music do you like?

Stranger: umm alternative rock just not emo....and country

You: yep, i think so.

Stranger: u a virgin

You: no

Stranger: nice tits?

You: are you getting off to this?

Stranger: depends on how u answer the question..but im getting hard

---------------------------------

i think i told him that i thought that my whole body was beautiful before i got up from my computer laughing!  if anyone else has any interesting adventures there, let me know. you've got a lot to compete with! should i try it again, just for kicks? will i get a rapist next time? a sex offender or just a murderous schizo? chivalry isn't just dead, it's extinct with  prehistoric life or mutated to criminal perversion.

haha!!1!

haha, ohmygosh. this is old, but it sure is funny! Black People Love Us!
i have to show Andy when he gets back. he's on tour in the Northeast for a week right now. i'm so proud of him and i love bragging, as you have just witnessed. my family has enjoyed having me back; they've made some jokes about forgetting what i look like. well, the joke's on them because i'm hanging out with Andy's sister tonight! wooo!

bleh. it's way early. where's my coffee? ciao friends. is anybody dreading the thought of school? actually excited? going to kill yourself or maybe just some kittens?..

why beat oneself up?

“We tend to beat ourselves up, but it’s necessary to let ourselves off the hook,” 

says Ed Diener, PhD, professor of psychology and leading happiness researcher at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. 

“Inevitably, you’re going to make mistakes, and yet you still have to like yourself.”

------------------

and i DO! i had to make every mistake that i ever made in my life to be here, so in a way, it was nourishing. 

church in the morning. i want to wear red lipstick and non-prescription glasses. not beating myself up anymore. my brothers will do that. gotta engagement party and a wedding to let the experienced women in my family plan.

ciao. 

 

this is a candid picture of me looking very awful one day. count me being caught looking like this as one of my larger "mistakes!"

After a morning drive.

it's summer. it's a weekend. my hair is clean and straight.. this is a beautiful thing. nothing beats Frank Sinatra [i love Mr. Ole Blue Eyes] during morning dives, but this is pretty good, too:

on a less ideal note, someone called me "bitch" [out of complete love] yesterday and asked why i wouldn't take a glass of Crystal Light and vodka or play RockBand. "bitch, you're supposed to be celebrating with us! congratulations!" sorry! i just didn't want any and i'm not an XBox girl!  oh, my life :)
 -----------------------------------------------
and as a side note for myself--who in the hell is from Indianola? whoever it is, they're a true fan or just nosy / bored because they were all up in my archives looking for old stuff... i have a new post idea now! i'll suggest a bunch of movies, music, and books for folks to busy themselves in outside of the computer. we can easily forget how rewarding face-to-face interactions and all of the other real-world experiences can be. your own life is [should be] beautiful and it is waiting to be crowned [off of the internet]--by you! do nothing less! get off of the internet today and do something that makes someone wonder..


ciao.

Weekly Resolutions

bleh--i started on a tuesday, but here goes:

• Pilates - at least three times a week, do a 30 minute pilates workout in the mornings. i pretty much do this already, but slacking off is still a possibility. gotta get my abs back and stop my booty from moving on its on.
  
• Multivitamins - take them everyday, duh. they taste like oranges; it'll be easy.
  
• Moods - don't be so impulsive and emotional.. take a deep breath and wait 10 seconds before reacting or entertaining an idea again. this is impossible difficult to manage while being menstrual AND on the pill, but get into practice.
• Generosity - do nice things more often--like let these little ones root around in my makeup because it's painless, makes them very happy, and makes for cute pictures! everyone should have something to smile about each day. just look at my adorable little best friends.
  

i have so many pictures of Andy's nieces and me on FBook that someone asked if these kids were mine. hah! i didn't think that i could birth little blue-eyed blonde ones.. goober.

aww, ash!

• my friend ash created this cuteness and tagged it to me. okay--not ONLY to me... as much as i'd like to be that awesome, she has some other cool people in her life besides cherry. i think that gifts every so often are a wonderful idea and they feel amazing for both the giver and the receiver. so how about somebody loan me $600 in return for warm feelings?
  

• also, here is the most hilarious Venn Diagram / flow chart EVER! what to say [or not to say] during sex.

ciao.
