Well, as I promised, I'm posting about the events of the weekend...

So Thursday was a boring work day. I was reprimanded about 5 times for not doing my work and surfing the internet. Oh well, lol. I had a talk on Friday, which was quite significant. The importance of abusing prescription drugs at an older age as opposed to now was one of the funny topics that was discussed. Can't be like JD!

I got a phone call from Z confirming our outing for Saturday. I was like, Halloween party or Zeus, Halloween party or Zeus. Well, considering the fact that I didn't feel like dressing up, a night out with Zeus sounded like the perfect option.So, my Saturday was spent being lazy, running errands, and avoiding practicing my presentation. Then I got ready for Zeus, and I definitely looked absolutely adorable! So, he picked me up, and I told him that we should go bowling. And that's what we did. It was soooo cute, so amazing. We were like, ok we're going to bowl a combined score of 180, and we actually were able to do it! And we just talked for a long time after we finished bowling, which is always good. We sat together at church today too, sigh. Very cute.

I should probably go do my homework and try to find some inspiration for my next few blog entries, lol.

I am aware of my...

Well, I'm writing a quick entry before I go out tonight!

This week went by quite quickly. Class was interesting in the sense that I got all of my exam grades back. That was a feeling of accomplishment, lol. Work kind of sucked because my boss actually made me do work. I couldn't just read Confessions of a Video Vixen.

I'm currently having another crisis in my life, lol. Over the summer, I experienced the kiss of life. What is the kiss of life, you ask? The kiss of life is the kiss that actually causes you to feel something, the kiss that makes you realize you've been missing out. In my opinion, the kiss can also be heightened when it is a little sinful. So basically, the ramifications of the kiss of life are exaggerated feelings of carnal lust, which can be confused with passionate love. And this is what I felt for the kiss of life person up until last month. But kiss of life person is back in my life again (Vanessa calls him Satan), and all hell is breaking loose. I don't want to stay away, but I know that it would be best to. So I'm like, Hey Zeus or Satan, Hey Zeus or Satan??? How about both, lol.

So, I just finished reading the wonderful novel that Jamie got me, Confessions of a Video Vixen!! It was sooo good. The video ho, Yizette, got with Ja Rule. my baby DMX, Jay-Z, Bobby Brown, nessie ness' Vin Diesel, Ice T,Ray-J, Usher and many other hip hop artists. My conclusion is that if I have to do all that, then I don't wanna be a video ho. I will give up the dream if it comes to that. But I'm sure that I can still be a classy video ho, and just go out to dinner with the hiphop artists, hehehe.

Yizette got with married hip hop artists too, which brings me to the question of what really constitutes infidelity in this day and age. Apparently, it's alright as long as you didn't actually love the mistress. At least that's what these rappers are telling the world. Other people too. Young men are basically saying that as long as it's not emotional cheating, then it's not that bad. I think that they must believe that infidelity is like a little white lie- as long as it's not a huge indiscretion, it's quite permissible. If you ask me, these people are smoking ganja. But then again, even my hottie Common says in Faithful,

"She said 'why do men always have to stray'
He said 'I'm bad, but not as bad as Eric Benet
I used to take them out to eat, but they really wasn't eatin
Might of got a little head but I wasn't really cheatin"

And to justify it, he says,

"It's hard when your lady doesn't believe what you say
Instead of living in the past, you have to live for today"

So even to Common, one of the sexiest rappers alive and a follower of Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, it's alright to cheat as long as you don't get it on or have an emotional attachment. And the girl should just forget about that stuff because it was all in the past. Men are bastards.

I will write about my interesting convo with someone people know and love, and all about the rest of my weekend tomorow night.

Oh, and for Vanessa: I am aware of my penis (it's supposed to be a relaxation technique!)

Putting the Ho in Homecoming...

*Warning- the events of this weekend may cause contagious laughter and or make you wish that you lived a glamorous life*

On Thursday morning, I got up bright and early, to take my long train ride to DC. As soon as I got on the train, I realized that I forgot to bring my estrogen patches. Can we say hot flashes all weekend? Yes. Anyways, on the 5 hour train ride, I was thoroughly entertained by the elderly lady sitting next to me, the geisha book, and sean paul (on my nano, silly!). Just when I was thinking I'd never get to Chocolate City, the conductor announced on the intercom that the train had finally arrived at Union Station. I so wanted to kiss the ground. Finally, out of CT! So then I proceeded to take the metro back to MD. My Mom met me at Shady Grove, and she immediately took me to Nordstrom Rack! Yay for Mom! I was overwhelmed with emotions as I took in the breathtaking Maryland scenary. Why do I always run away from you, when I only want to be in your presence? Then, we got to my house. Little Chestnut was there, extremely excited about seeing his favorite person in the world, lol. And I checked the scale to see if my suspicions were correct. And they were. I've lost my five pounds of surgery fat, and I'm back to a nice 103!! Yay!

On Friday, I ran a bunch of errands before making the drive down to Williamsburg. It took a full 5 hours. But I finally got there, and meeting Kim, Elise, Kristina, and Amaka was such a heartfelt reunion! We immediately decided that we would be sketchy alumni and go to the on campus party. First thing we noticed was that we're old as hell. I've never been one to say such a thing, but it's true. I felt like an old granny at that party. Second thing that was noticed was dang, there's a lot of black freshmen at WM. Yes people, Wiliam and Mary has become more diverse. As was pointed out, there were at least 2 black ppl on each page of the yearbook in the senior section. But anyways, the party was kinda boring, with the weird DJ and all. So we all decided to go down to Lodge One and sing karaoke. We sang Mariah Carey's Always Be My Baby and Madonna's Like a Virgin. Oooh, I was all about Like a Virgin. I tried to be all sexy too, singing, oooh like a virgin, feels so good inside, when you hold me, when you love me.... but it came out cute and innocent. You know how I do. So then we went back to the party, not particularly to dance to the bad music, but to check out the sexiest man alive. This man needs to be included in Essence's sexiest bachelors alive list, cuz he is definitely a delicious gift from heaven. The pitiful party was over at 1:00 AM, and Kim wanted to dance for real. So she called some friends of hers, and we went to their Ludwell apartment. The details of this meeting are a little serious, so feel free to skip this part of the weekend synopsis...

Names will not be revealed because it was such a terrible situation and it's way too embarrassing as it is. Basically, Kim was dancing with her friend. I'll call him Elephant Man. Elephant Man got quite excited when he danced with Kim, and it was quite apparent. He then came and danced with me. I never did like Elephant Man all that much, I always thought that he was too weird to chill with. Now I know that he's a perv too... So he comes over to dance with me, and I'm like, ew he has a boner. But I danced with him for a song and then told him I needed some Sean Paul (to get away from him), and proceeded to go check out the music collection in the bedroom. Little did I know that he would follow me in there. So I was searching for SP on the playlist, didn't find much. Then, Elephant Man asked me, do you like this song? I will give you lyrics to the song, because they basically described Elephant Man's pathetic desires for the night:

"I looking some nookie tonite
Lord gimme some nookie tonite...
I looking 'a nookie
me nah stop till i find it"

So Elephant Man is dancing with me all close, and all of a sudden, he grabs my hips and basically starts, well imitating sexual acts. And I thought, oh elephant man is just getting caught up in dancing, he means no harm. After I didn't get the idea from his blatant grinding/ thrusting, Elephant Man decided to plant an open mouth kiss on my jaw. I was repulsed of course, but I thought, oh well, Elephant Man really didn't mean to do that, his mouth just accidently landed on my jaw. Next, Elephant Man seemed to be making feeble attempts to push me to a chair, but that wasn't happening. Then, all of a sudden, Elephant Man slammed the door, as if he was getting all hot and bothered and felt that he had done some foreplay, and it was time to do the deed. Then, this crazy boy took off his shoes, and was attempting to use his body to forcefully push me to the bed in the room. I had been oblivious to his perv desires all night, up until he slammed the door. I mean, had my friends not been in the other room, then I think that he would've tried to force himself on me. Just shows how pathetic he is, he can't get any ass, so he tries to force himself on girls. But anyways, I quickly said that I should go check on my friends, got his nasty body out of my way, and ran into the other room. Of course, all the rest of the guys in the room laughed at him because he looked like a fool. I definitely embarrassed his pathetic perv ass to the point where he couldn't even say goodbye to us, and avoided my friends and me for the rest of the weekend.

Promptly after getting out of disgusting Elephant Man's clutches, we left his apartment and proceeded to go to IHOP, where I relived the gruesome events, and ate cheesesticks. We stayed out til 5 AM that night and went back to the Econo Lodge. Amaka, Kim, and I had to sleep in one bed, like sardines. So of course I woke up at around 8:30 on Saturday morning.

Saturday was basically a jam packed day. Amaka, Kim, and I went to the Cheese Shop and purchased tasty sandwiches. I savored every delicious bite. All of us then proceeded to go the football game and people watch. Patrick, Mimi, Maggie, and Sam came to sit with us too, which made us all quite merry. I was glad to talk to Patrick and catch up. And Mimi and I took a cute pic with me sitting on her lap. And then I got caught up in the game. I was intrigued by the cheerleaders, considering that I used to be a cheerleader. I intently watched the bases' contorted, pained faces as they attempted to lift the flyers up from the ground. Thank goodness I never was a base, having to lift some FA off of the ground. That would've sucked. And I actually watched and understood the game. I think that Sidney would've been proud (she actually was the only person that ever explained the game to me).I think that our team won (I don't know for sure, cuz I didn't stick around for the end).

Afterwards, I went to the AKA house to see my sorors! Aww, the house is beautiful, looks just as pink and green as ever! It was good to see everyone and catch up. The girls had such cute black AKA baby tees on. Sigh, I want one, lol. Then, my friends and I went to Red Lobster for dinner.

After a filling dinner of coconut shrimp, we all headed to the Step Show. All I can say is that the show was good and Deltas were beastly as usual. At least it was a chance to see the hot man. We then went back to the hotel to get changed for our night out. Kim, Kristina, and I went to the Spanish House to dance, while Amaka and Elise went to the delis to drink a bit. They are so crazy, they went to Wawa and filled coffee cups with alcohol. I was fooled, lol! Now we should've known that it was going to be a worst than expected night cuz Kim, Kristina, and I happened to see a real live skunk by Tazewell. It was humongous, and we got away as quickly as we could. The Spanish House brought back a lot of memories, and I saw so many people that I care about. The party was kind of boring though, so we were trying to find another place to go. So I decided to call dumbass (or DA). Now there is a story to this DA call, encounter, etc...

DA started to get in touch with me two weeks ago to make Homecoming plans together. He even told me that he could "chill" on Friday and/or Saturday. I never got back to him. But I called him on Saturday to see what was going on, and perhaps to stir up some drama. So when I called, he picked up and asked me what was up. I told him about the situation, and he told me that he just wanted to chill at his crib tonight. Then he told me he was approaching the language houses, and that we could meet up, so he could take me back. And so I agreed to meet. Well, DA was like, I've missed you, I want to chill with you. And I was like, I need to be with my friends tonight. The he proceeded to give me long, drawn out reasons why I should come back with him. And I told him that I would be out all night with my friends. He told me that I should call him when I'm finished, and that he really wanted to be with me, sigh. But then I decided to kiss him. This was the mood killer, so I was like, I'll call you if I have time. He kept saying please come back to the car, I'll show you what I can do. Whatever. And don't you know, he texted me a couple more times that night. Needless to say, the feeling is gone.

So I went back to the party and flirted with another boy. It's the only way people! We were supposed to go to Cornerstone, but there were a couple of problems and it couldn't be done. But we did walk to the ends of the earth and then some.

We went to bed late again, and I had to get up early and say goodbye to everyone. It was so hard to leave, just because I knew that I wouldn't be seeing these people that I care deeply about for awhile. And I didn't realize that William and Mary had made such a lasting impression on me, and that I'd actually miss it. And then, when I had to leave from DC at 3:00, I was overwhelmed with sadness, knowing I'd be leaving such an amazing area, with everything I possibly want and need at my fingertips.

Well at least I had a nice welcome back to New Haven. Vanessa picked me up, and Derek came along for the ride. We were discussing my belly dancing for Jesus, etc. Quite entertaining. Of course, Vanessa transitioned from being ho to wife, and I'm still just a ho, sniff sniff.

Sunday Night Posting

Wow, so here I am posting on my blog again, despite the fact that I have to study. But Saturday was probably one of my best days in New Haven, and I just had to share:) Why, you ask? Well I'll have to tell you all at a later date. Perhaps before Homecoming! I think that I have song lyrics that would describe how I'm feeling:

"Knowing you're down for me is reassuring/ it's the reason why I'm always smiling"

And I've felt so giddy with happiness that I'm almost scared of coming down from this high. But in the midst of all this, I still have a dilemma!

So here's my dilemma- DA or the highway???? I've been thinking about this for the past week or so, and I have no idea what to do. Everyone needs to live in the past at some point in their lives, even if it's for just a little while. But I don't want to feel guilty. Hopefully it will be like one of those things that's too good to apologize for. Let's hope.

So Nessie ness and I have become Yale med school library addicts. It's like, I went to William and Mary, so I need to study at another ivy league, lol. And come rain or shine, I'm there. At least I attempt to get some studying done here.

And then, I was thinking about it today, and I've come to the conclusion that having a job is kind of like prostituting yourself. Call your company your pimp, cuz they are definately prostituting you. I mean, you're getting paid to offer up your talents to people, I would definitely call that a form of prostitution. Maybe not your body, but your talents. Sigh, I'm thinking about this prostitution thing cuz I'm reading Memoirs of a Geisha, even though geisha are NOT prostitutes. Oh, and speaking of job prostitution, dear sweet Jamie gave me the book Confessions of a Video Vixen. I can't wait to read about the life of a video ho, you know that's my back up career! Joking, but I am excited about reading the book.

Sigh, back to studying :(

I'm such a procrastinator

Well here I am, updating my blog when I should be studying for my hardcore stats exam. Sigh, I am so procrastinating...

Hmm, I haven't updated in a while., probably cuz my week has been kind of boring. I've been studying for exams. I mean, the nerve of these professors, actually testing us on the stuff they spoke about in class. And I actually have to read the books? This is nonsense.

So last Sunday, I was supposed to go to Pentecostal church with my really scary hairdresser. On Sunday morning, I called her and told her I that I would be attending another church service. She sounded kind of upset, like, darn, I'm going not going to make my quota for the week. So I went to an interdenominational church called Vineyard Church, or something to that effect. I really liked the service, and I'm reading a book called Purpose Driven Life, which we're supposed to read for the upcoming weeks. And I pimped myself at church too, but that will be explained at a later time.

Let's see, all this week, I have been attempting to avoid Alex and J*. I was so scared on Monday, cuz I saw Alex pull into the library parking lot. He left me a couple of weird messages, and he didn't even state his name. Like, oh you're so special to me. Yeah, you just keep thinking that.

I have to get back to studying and devising a plan to meet Sean Paul, lol. But I'll leave you with this quote, which is quite hot:

"A true geisha will never soil her reputation by making herself available to men on a nightly basis."

Birthday Fun!

Oh birthdays, how I adore them. Luckily, each one always leaves a twinkling and magical memory for me to share with everyone! And so it begins...

At 12:00 AM on October 7th, dear sweet nessie ness gave me a present quite dear to my heart. A card speaking of the wonderful friendship we have established, a belly dancing kit (we've got jokes, lol), a Japanese bookmark, and the book, Memoirs of a Geisha. If you don't know about the significance of the geisha in my life, then you'll have to ask, hehe. Thereafter, I had sweet dreams of fabulous birthday fun! In the morn, we woke up quite early, cuz we were on a mission: to get to West Farms Mall in Farmington, CT and have the time of our lives. So we were on the road. Well, we had to make pitstops first. I went to the school to pick up my check. Vanessa needed to go to Dunkin Donuts to get her morning coffee fix. Well, we went to officially the worst Dunkin Donuts in the world. When I pulled up to the drive thru, no one brightly chirped good morning to us. So I stuck my head out the window, and yelled "hiiiii!!!" . Well, the lady was prolly thinking, who the heck is this little girl??? So she finally took our order, and I asked for a chocolate iced donut (which she didn't have a clue about). We got to the window, paid, got the donuts and coffee. We looked in the bag, and she gave us three donuts, instead of two. Now this would've been hot, but unfortunately, she gave us 2 chocolate cake donuts. Ew, ew, ew.

So we were on our way, to Farmington! That is, until we missed the turn to go to Middletown. Ahh, lost in CT! We basically had to take the long way, through town on the 40 MPH road (no 80 MPH for me), with policemen everywhere. I was kinda hyperventilating, cuz I thought we were lost. And then we were both having hot flashes. Luckily, we found the beltway, and got to Farmington in no time. So we were window shopping, and imagine our surprise when we found a Rainforest Cafe!! So Vanessa and I ate there for my birthday lunch. How I love Rainforest Cafe, with the golden god, various exotic animals, and simulated thunderstorms. I decided to go all out, and ordered a tasty appetizer (tortilla chips with an amazing crab dip). We had a waiter, but then another girl came over to tell us that she would be our new waitress, cuz our other waiter was busy. So throughout the meal, both of them came to our table, asking us if we needed something. Quite confusing. Anyways, I had a barbecue bacon cheeseburger, which was quite delicious. Then Vanessa got the waiters to sing happy birthday to me, and I had a dessert called the Volcano! It basically was 5 pieces of chocolate cake in a shape of a volcano, with the whipped cream, ice cream, caramel, and hot fudge acting as the lava. We really couldn't eat everything, so we had like 3 takeout boxes! it was definitely an amazing meal!

After our meal, we decided to leave the mall. Vanessa deemed the bathroom unsanitary at Rainforest Cafe, so she decided to hold it til she got home. Now let's remember, it take about an hour to get back to New Haven from Farmington. So in the last part of the ride home, Vanessa was getting antsy, hehe. She had to go really bad. And we had tons of obstacles that kept her waiting :( We got stuck in traffic on 95. We got stuck behind slow people on 122, about 10 minutes from the apartment. We even got stopped by a school bus. When we finally got to the apartment, she jumped out of the car and ran to the potty. It was such a me moment, lol. But after that I picked up present from my parents, and they got me a Lifedrive PDA and pajamas. I'm quite excited about this new toy, hehe.

So the night began. Vanessa and I got decked out, looked all hot and sexy. We arrived at Happy Hour an hour late. That's ok, we were worth the wait:

But we looked way too nice for the sportsbar. Some gross man asked for my name, and I was like, um no.

So I had a shot with Norm at the sportsbar. I mingled, etc with everyone in my program. I decided that I wanted some beer, but there weren't any glasses left. So I decided to do this:


And I decided it was permissible so I took a pic like this:


After awhile we got tired of the Sports Bar, and went to Nitin's apt for some fun. But first, Vanessa and I changed into some comfy sweats. We got there, and everyone was playing their drinking games. But Vanessa and I didn't want beer, we wanted wine. But Nitin couldn't find his corkscrew, so we had to go to the store and buy one. But when we came back, the fun times began. But of course, Vanessa had to say that MD's part of the south, and this is the look that occurred:


Vanessa and Derek posing for the camera:


Interracial Peapod:



Sober Nitin:


Vanessa and Derek:



So after awhile, we headed over to a bar/lounge called Blue Cube. I had so many drinks, I was quite intoxicated. It's a wonder that I'm not hungover today. But anyways, I danced, drank, and entertained. So all in all, it was a wonderful birthday! I'll leave you with a pic of Gaird and me, drunk and loving it!

Week in Review

It's been awhile since I've posted. And a lot has happened in the past few days, so here it goes...

So I basically had what Vanessa deems "a boyfriend" for 24 hours. Fuck that, I use that term loosely. After my coffee date with Alex on Monday, I was giddy, like a little schoolgirl. I even went to bed with a smile, thinking about all of the wonderful times we would spend together. Oh how quickly that ends. So, I had work on Tuesday, and then stats class. After class, I called Alex, and he wanted to go out again. I was so excited. Until I saw him. Already, I could tell that this was the end. I drove downtown, and we ate at some pizza place. (Yay, free meal!!!!). I could already tell that I was getting annoyed with Alex's antiqated, wannabe slang (that's mad cool, and I unfortunately can't recall the other ones). Then, I asked him his age. He did not want to tell me. People, the guy is 32 years old. A grown man, that lives with his aunt. I knew he had to go. And he was talking about the future. I was disgusted. So he wanted me to see some place on campus that he likes, and this is what I said: "Oh gee, I can't find parking, guess I'll have to let you out right here". I couldn't have thought of a better way to get him out of my car and life! Oh, and there was a siting! While icky Alex was in the car, I saw Y* . And it's weird, cuz Alex and Y* know each other. Needless to say, that "relationship" is over.

On Wednesday, I had 2 classes. In my second class, I wanted to slap some FA ho. We were having a group activity, in which we were supposed to rank fears. Now this ho said that financial problems would be a high ranking fear for her, and I told her that it wasn't for me, cuz I felt that if you get yourself into a mess, that hopefully you'd have the means to get yourself out. Or that people can find a way out. (I'm thinking in terms of largescale financial probs, like Wall Street ppl). Well, this loser girl had the audacity to say to me, "We don't all have mummy and daddy to run to". Ok. Just cuz I was wearing a Burberry skirt, do you really feel that it is necessary to attack me? I was extremely ticked. We will definitely not be friends. Oh well.

Let's see, on Wednesday after class, I went grocery shopping, again. Just stop me now! Vanessa and I bought tons of yummy food. But some little girl was going to kick Vanessa's butt cuz she thought that Vanessa was trying to cut in front her in the deli line. Thursday, I went to get my hair done at a place called Salon Glitter. Now when I should've known that something was up with the place when I saw some sign noting the things that were prohibited in the salon. But it didn't stop there. Barbara, my new hairdresser, happens to be Pentecostal, in a scary kinda way. She was telling me things that I could not even argue with her about, cuz I was afraid that she'd make all of my hair fall out. Like she told me that I'm going to hell cuz I've never spoken in tongues. And that my encounters with the Holy Spirit weren't real cuz I didn't speak in tongues. And that I'm not really a christian or filled with the Holy Spirit because of something else. And worst of all, I'm going to church with her on Sunday. I'm scared out of my mind, I hope that she doesn't attempt to brainwash me. If anyone knows of any interdenominational or Baptist churches in New Haven, let me know, lol. After that, I went to work (where I did all my studying, go me!). I then proceeded to go to the mall and purchase cinnabons. Everyone needs a little sweetness in their lives, hehe. I came back to the apartment and gorged on yummy cinnabons with Vanessa. And this was all leading up to..... my birthday!!!!

I've interrupted my normal posting to bring you a heart wrenching, tear invoking, scared the shit out of me nightmare that just I just woke up from about 10 minutes ago. The villain: a person I know, who will only be described as a someone that looks like a balding Arab. Basically, one day, I was driving, somewhere in MD. I can't remember how, but this guy somehow forced me to be confined in his living room, with two other people. He told me that I had to learn a lesson or something, that I needed to be chastized for wrongdoing. So he had set up cameras in his living room, to see his prisoners. It was terrible, staying in this place, I just wanted to go home to my parents. He was just being really cruel, and we all begged for him to let us out. There was even one day when he put us in an elevator rapidly filling with water, just to watch us scream. Finally, he let us out of the place. Actually, one of the prisoners ticked him off, so she wasn't allowed to leave. When we finally got to leave, he somehow notified my parents of where I was, and they came to pick me up, cuz they hadn't seen me in so long. Of course the guy gave some bogus reason as to why the other prisoners and I were locked up. We all even saw the last girl in there on camera, forced to stay there alone. I was afraid to tell the guy how much I hated him, cuz I thought that he might lock my parents and me up. So I went to the bathroom, and thought that my friend was in there (I was in the stall, and I thought that she came in). So I basically blasted the guy, and told my friend how much I hated him. Well, the guy new some type of dark magic too, cuz apparently it had been him in the bathroom, not my friend. He could disguise himself. So when I got back, the get together was over his wife, brother, etc were gone. I remember cuz they were there at first and I wanted to tell them so badly about what his brother had been doing, locking people up and all). Finally, I was like, hurry Mom and Dad, let's leave before he decides not to let us leave. So we had to go past his room to get to the exit. He didn't know that my parents were with me, and he thought that I wanted to speak to him, cuz he thought that I had figured out the whole bathroom disguise thing. Well, I ended up blasting him, etc, telling him I was going to write a book about what he had done, making everyone prisoners, and all, and that he wouldn't get away. So he proceeded to tell me that he has ways of making people not talk. Unfortunately, my parents had been there, listening to me curse this guy out, and I felt really bad. So I was like, come on Mom and Dad, it's time to go. So Mom and I were basically running to the cars. My Dad was taking it slow. I was like, Mom, why is Dad going so slow, and then my Dad proceeded to get whipped cream on his head, and sat down to actually start scooping it off with a spoon. And my Mom was like, your Dad has been placed under a spell. The guy had done this after I yelled at him. My worst nightmare had come true: my Dad, my hero, probably the most intelligent person in my life, had been reduced to a bumbling southern fool. Oh, I knew cuz he was talking about farms and stuff. So I had to take him home, and it was just very painful, and I'm still trying to calm down right now. It was really upsetting, I hope that this isn't some prediction of what's to come. My grandma has alzheimer's, and I think that I'd die of sadness if it happened to my Dad. I'm already upset because it's happening to grandma, but I'd be crushed if something like that happened to him. I have to go calm down.

I Saw a Pimp on a Street Corner...

A lot has happened since my last post! Which is good, cuz then my posts won't be just mindless drivel about how I went to the store and bought a gallon of milk (see, it's all about the grocery store addiction).

The highlight of my day on Sunday was a tea hosted by the Theta Epsilon Omega Chapter of my sorority. It was absolutely adorable! I was able to meet a lot of the sorors in the chapter, which truly made my day. Everyone was so sweet and welcoming. I will definitely be active in this chapter. I even met one of Nu Chi's own- Nicole Gee! She's recently gotten married, and she has a new career as a pharmacist.

Yesterday was an interesting day. I had to wake up early and go to work (boo), and my supervisor kicked me off the computer! I mean, come on, I was doing some really important stuff (ie updating my profile on facebook, lol). Luckily, Daniela was there to save me from boredom. I basically chatted the morning away, hehe. After I had lunch, I was extremely bored without computer access. So, I was forced to actually do my OB homework. Of course, I could only concentrate for 30 minutes before I started to doze off. And I must admit, I was thinking a couple of strange thoughts before I truly started to slumber. So I was quite startled when I was tapped on the shoulder (just as these crazy thoughts were actually starting to formulate into somewhat coherent dreams). To my surprise, it was Alex, the computer analyst that came to the library last week to fix the network problems. Of course I was wide awake when he asked me out to coffee! I merrily wrote down my cell and email address. So, I decided to ask the library coworkers about this mystery man. Unfortunately, at that time, I thought that his name was Alan, lol. Let me tell you, I went to Echlin hall to say hi to this guy, and boy was I surprised when I poked my head into the office of Alan MacDougal. It was such an embarrassing moment. But luckily I cleared all of this up, because Alex left a voice message and an email. So after I finished my homework, he took me out to Cosi in Downtown New Haven. It was cute. He's an aspiring musician, and he likes philosophy. And he didn't ask to use my bathroom and come back to my apartment, lol. Yay. So ya'll will probably hear about him again.

After the hot coffee break, I went back to my apartment to be surprised by the return of my roommate! Oh I was lonely for the past few days (despite the fact that I was quite entertained). Oh Vanessa, don't ever leave me again, lol. So we spent our reunion doing our SPSS homework. I gotta tell you, I was tired and getting pissed cuz I couldn't say the word "statistically" correctly. I kept saying statically or stakistically. I was really tired!


For your information, I would just like to say that it is really difficult and annoying that my only source of estrogen is through a stupid little patch placed on my abdomen on Mondays and Thursdays. I've felt myself grow cold, hardened to the problems of the world (as Katie Castle would say). I've lost my ability to feel sympathy for people or to even empathize with the problems surfacing in their lives. Also, I find myself having different reactions to situations. Like, I used to feel hurt and saddened by certain situations, but now I just get pissed off. My reaction is usually anger and annoyance, so don't rub me the wrong way, lol. With that in mind, if I say anything mean to you, just remember that it's the lack of estrogen talking.

Oh, and Vanessa wanted me to tell you all a little story. A couple of days ago, we were watching some VH1 special about Lil Jon and his pimp cane and pimp cup. We thought, oh shit, it would be so cool to see a pimp in person with their pimp clothing! Well, the next day, on our way downtown, we actually saw a real pimp! He was on his cell, dressed in an olive colored pimp suit. He even had a pimp hat with a feather in it! He was just there, on the street corner, probably finalizing his pimp deals. I was so amazed, I just kept staring at him. Vanessa had to tell me to stop, cuz she thought that we'd get shot. But I told her that we didn't have to worry about the pimp, he's cool.

Next up: Is Alisha going out with people because she actually likes them, or cuz she just wants a free meal???

But we can be friends...

I'm going to have to post to this blog every single day if the drama persists, and my life continues to be interesting, hehe.

I met an Alpha on Friday when I went to the school to pick up my check. He seemed pretty cool, and he wanted me to chill with him and his LB's that day, but I told him I was going to the outlet mall (cuz you know that's real important). So after conversing with him, and then having one of my endlessly entertaining conversations with Derek, I was off to the wonder of the outlets. Apparently, it wasn't that wonderful though, and I only picked up a pair of cropped pants from a place that will not be named. On the way home, I went to the natural food store, which only exacerbated my grocery shopping addiction. So this basically means that I went grocery shopping twice in one week.

Despite the fact that I went grocery shopping twice this week, I still had a meager dinner that night, lol. After I ate dinner and played that Sean Paul CD for the 50th time that day (no joke), I got a call from my friend Alex, asking if I wanted to come out to a bar with her, Brad, Nitin, Norm, and Lisa. Of course I said yeah, cuz I didn't have shit to do. So I went to her townhouse before we all went to the bar. I was able to forge a friendship with Brad (we weren't on very good terms the night before, hehe). Now, before we went to the bar, Nitin asked me if I wanted to drink. I was like, yeah, but I don't mind driving. Then he told me that it was cool with Alex, Norm, and Brad that I stay at their place if I was intoxicated. Though the offer was quite gracious, I refused (I didn't want anyone seeing me in the morning!). So then I drove a couple of people to the bar, and the night began. I can't really say much about what happened during the night, but I obtained a higher level of awareness. I still don't know how I feel about it all. I know that I had a reaction that was different than what you'd expect, but this was simply because all of my longings and desires are currently inconceivable. LOL, not really.

On Saturday, I had to wait for the damn Comcast internet guy to come and set up wireless internet, so I wouldn't have to keep using this ghetto cable to connect. Unfortunately, Vanessa took her comp home, so he was unable to hook up both computers. So now we have to wait til Thursday to get wireless. (FYI it was the same sketchy cable guy that made the infamous list that is now on fridge).

Finally, the excitement of the evening came: a step show at Yale! I went to UNH to meet up with the Alpha from yesterday, and his bruhs. Everyone was really nice, and I waited for them to get ready in the dorm. Jermaine and his roommate have the nicest dorm in the world, it's smaller than my luxury apartment, but it's bigger than everyone else's regular apartment. All in all, it was huge for a dorm room. It took awhile for people to get ready, but finally we left for Yale. Yale's campus basically comprises most of Downtown New Haven. I parallel parked (go me!!!!) and we walked onto the campus. I must say, I really don't like the architecture of Yale's general campus. I loved the cathedral, but I don't like it inside of the campus. In fact, it looks like a prison, and the Yaliens (Vanessa and I have given Yalies this nickname) are the convicts. Seriously, there were prison bars everywhere. The windows had bars, the gate was a barred gate, and we needed a keycard to get in. Finally, we got into this little courtyard (the damn campus is like a maze), and found the cafeteria that the step show would be in. Um ok, the colored people are confined to the cafeteria for performances? It didn't look like the traditional cafeteria, but still. At least there was a stage.

So the people that performed were Gamma Phi Delta (a Christian frat), Alphas, AKAs, and Deltas. There was a praise and worship at the beginning too. Maybe it will make up for the fact that I didn't go to church today. So I was able to meet the Xi Omicron chapter of AKA, and they are really sweet! I like them alot, they seemed really genuine. Just a good group of girls. I like the Alphas too. Their chapter mostly consists of UNH students, and the guys are cool. I thought that everyone's performances were good that night, but I was really surprised by the Deltas' performance. I'm so used to them being hard and beastly. But they're weak steppers up here. But in general, people step differently in New Haven than what I've seen before. It's more loose, more laidback. But I liked it.

So throughout the show, I chilled with this one Alpha named Jeffery. Jeffery is amazing. He's already at a great accounting firm, and he's working on his Masters degree (in accounting). He just seems to have his life together, and perhaps he's where I'd like to see myself by the time I'm 25. So He called me when I got back to my apartment, and we decided to go out to eat at Denny's lol. It was one of the only places open at 1:00 AM, lol. So we're talking, I think that we annoyed the waitress, cuz we talked so much (well he talked a lot, and I listened, that's what happens when you go out to eat with old souls). She'd come over and ask us if we were ready to order, and we'd be so immersed in the conversation that we'd forget to check the menu. Well, we ended up staying at Denny's and talking til around 3:00. There was also a siting at Denny's: a certain boy in my class was out on a date with someone! He likes the guys that are a little thuggish, but cute! But I'm getting off track. So we left Denny's, and he drove me back to my apartment. He asked if he could use my bathroom. So I showed him my apartment, etc, and we talked on the couch and stuff. LOL, even he was listening to my new Sean Paul CD. He left at 4 AM. 4 AM, I tell ya. But we can be friends.
