Let me take you on a ride

I know, I know, I haven't posted in my blog lately. I've been collecting my thoughts, and now I have tons to write about. So let me take you on this ride...

I've been at home for the past week or so, and it's been quite a relaxing experience. Except when I'm getting ticked off about my cousin getting with her baby's father. Or when I decide to drastically vacillate from one future path to the next. In this blur of a vacation that is ending too soon, I've already made some decisions that are going to benefit me greatly:
1. Live more selfishly.
2. Get back to the basics.

Let's see, my hot flashes continue to afflict me. I woke up in the middle of the night suffocating from the heat. So I unbuttoned my pajama top and took it off. I woke up in the morning like wtf, why don't I have any clothes on???

Then, I keep having really strange dreams. Apparently, I'm not immune to naughty dream sequences either! I had some dream the other night about some guy from hs. I put my hand on his pants covered thigh and I proceeded to make out with him. And I wasn't even attracted to this guy when I was younger, I thought that he was a stuck up cad. So that was definitely weird as hell.

Oh, and Shakira is my new role model! I found this quote from her in Jane that was quite intriguing:
"I was raised with strong principles. I went to a Catholic school. I performed a belly dance there when I was 5. And I used to wear the typical belly dance outfit, showing the belly. So I figured, you know, if the nuns never had a problem with me showing the belly, who would?"
LOL, therefore, I have nothing to worry about. You CAN belly dance for Jesus!

So here are a couple of topics that I thought would be interesting to write about:

On Alisha's Weight Loss Techniques-

Oh yeah, ya'll, I'm writing a book. I'm thinking that people can benefit from my weight loss techniques. As I joke with Vanessa, my motto is why deprive yourself of carbs and sugar when you can just not eat anything for a couple of meals! People always want the quick way to lose weight. Well, all you need to do is get a Lupron injection (it's for decreased bone density, bitches), work 15-20 hours a week, and take full time grad school classes, and I guarantee that you will lose that extra 10 pounds, lol. Not really, but that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

On the Perfect Relationship-

A couple of days ago, I had the chance to watch Two Can Play That Game with Morris Chestnut and Vivica A. Fox. I hadn’t seen it in awhile. It restored my belief in my perfect relationship. I had long ago (ok, maybe 6 months ago, lol) put away my ideal relationship, because I came away from situations thinking that there's no monogamous, drug free, intelligent, and sexy niggas out there. And if there are, they like to sleep on my damn floor or couch. I hadn't forgotten that I really do love my black brothas, but I had abandoned them in my pluralistic endeavors. Oh yeah, and cuz I wanted to pimp all over the world, hehehe. And then, seeing that chemistry between Morris and Vivica made me feel so ecstatic, and I thought that everything was right with the world. Of course I'll find my ideal brotha (and this nigga will not be trying to sleep on my floor or couch). I may be going through various phases, trying different people out. But let's be real here, even though I've gone astray, you know I'm gonna come back home!!!! As I like to say, caramel ALWAYS goes well with dark chocolate, lol.

On Fashion-

Well, I've been home for a couple of days, and of course I can't leave without commenting on fashion. I like to think of DC as a little NYC. Everyone dresses fashionably, and has a Burberry quilted jacket and a Marc Jacobs handbag. I think that I should have my own fashion or cosmetics column in a magazine, joking. I’d be like, naw bitches, don’t wear the Bobbi Brown lipgloss, the consistency is way too sticky. Or I’d be like, don’t be stupid. Don’t mix the Burberry, the Juicy, AND the LV. That’s just terribly wrong.

On the Bubble-

Oh I miss the bubble. No I'm not talking about my butt, lol (still got it!). I mean the multicultural bubble. You know how WM was all the majority, but we all stuck together in our little bubble, which I truly adored. Where is that bubble now? Dispersed across the Washington, DC area apparently. I'm missing that in New Haven. I miss the Arabs, Latinos, and Asians. And I’m trying to get Amaka to come visit me sometime, hehe. We were joking around, and I was like, haha, if you visited there’d be two knee-gros, and people just wouldn’t know what to do, lol. And Kim’s supposed to be moving to NYC in March, so you know that will a lot of fun. Thank God, cuz it's too kuroi and shiroi here, and it's driving me crazy...

On the newfound male friends-

Interestingly, I happen to have male friends in New Haven that are actually single and heterosexual! How crazy is that? Ya’ll know how I am, my male friends are usually taken or gay (or both!). So this is a new territory, and I’m actually enjoying it! Still haven’t found that SATC group of girlfriends here yet, but it’ll come soon enough.

On my Christmas list-

It’s really short:
1. Tiffany gold pendant
2. Coach satchel
3. J. Crew flying piggies pink lounge pants
4. Warm socks (for the frigid CT winter)
5. Keyboard for my LifeDrive
6. Aluminum case for my LifeDrive
7. Maybe a pair of True Religion jeans

And now I have to go and do all the hw I didn’t do all week, and pack my bags for my ride to New Haven ☹
