Christmas was 2 days ago. On Christmas Eve, I realized I had officially hit "adult" status for I had no presents under the tree. Depressing huh? Not really when you are expecting it. Christmas was still cool though gift wise cause my daddy gave me some money..CHING CHING! lol. But of course, CHRISTmas isnt about gifts anyways so there was no need on dwelling on me reaching to my inner child and unwrapping presents. My little cousins are coming today so maybe I can rip off paper with them. I must say though...Christmas day was kinda boring for me...I slept through most of it. Not purposely, but I just couldn't stay awake! But I did hang with the fam and the friends so it was all good.
Okay now to fill my grievence (spell check) with Atlanta Flea Markets aKa Value Malls. Why don't they open before 11:30 in the morning? Do you not know how much stuff you can have done by 11:30???And then when they do finally open the doors, all the vendors arent even there! So me and my momma driving around Candler Road and Memorial Drive tryin to get some polo shirts...yet NO ONE is there yet in TWO different "malls". By now its noon...and I'm tired from being up at 8 to leave at a decent time. I know better now, thats for sure. I was able to hang out with the best friend though since the "malls" were BSing, so I guess there is a bright side.
Going to see the Great Debaters with my momma....I hope I dont cry like everyone keeps telling me a will...

YaY!!!
Im so proud of my friends for crossing RDO...its really to many to name cuz that would take all day ((but special shoutouts to my 2 brothers, Gerbie, and Rome)). It feels good to see your folk accomplish things, especially they work real hard for it, sacrificing school and family/friend time and sleep. So now they can holler "Hootie mothafriggin Hoo" all day! haha Luv yall!

Its the most wonderful time of the year!!!
Intially I thought this was gonna be a pretty wack Christmas break. The first week I was home was pretty boring, although I did get alot of good movie watching in. But this past week I have had soo much fun!!! My friend, Ms. Jazzy, threw a party and it was like 07 reunion...and nothin can get any more funny than that. I've just had a really good time hanging out with all my friends fom high school that I dont get to see all the time (excopt for Tommy who ran away to Cali for Christmas...BOOO!). It makes being away in DC for school bittersweet because Im so far away and you have to wait months to see them again, yet it make it so much better when you finally do see everyone. I really do ♥ my ATL family!!
Also being home lets you reconnect with those who you just really put in the back of your mind and actually kinda forgot about...as bad as that sounds. So this one boy I used to be really cool with...really REALLY grew up since the past time I seen him...actually he is quite a cutie. Bonus factor is that he feels the same. But pause...he is a marine now! Now, Roomie nows that I love men in uniform, but he is stationed in Cali. So if Im in DC and he is in Cali, what in the world is gonna come of that??? Funny how things happen, guess I gotta let that one go before I even start thinking stuff....ahhh well!
On a pretty disappointing note, I have done no Christmas shopping for my momma, daddy, or brother...just slacking. But me and the BFF are supposed to chill tomorrow, so hopefully that get done then...ugh pray for me...i HATE lines and patience was not a virtue I was blessed with!

THE TIN woMAN
I've been having alot of fun since I have been home for winter break. Random stops at QT, going to the waffle house, trips up to my old school, visiting friends, going to random parties...its been a good time. I realize that I do have the best friends anyone could ask for. Its always good to have people in your life who you know care about you and have your back whenever you need them to...
Yet, what about that person who doesn't have this anymore?
Yesterday my "brother" came over and was talking to me about a girl who I used to be really close with yet things happened and eventually led to a falling out between us. And he begins to give me an update on this girl's life and how basically she and the guy she was with are having a while lot of problems (which really isnt new) and how he basically is done. She has been wildin out and just doin stuff thats way out of character...or what I used to know was here character. And now, because of some of the things she has done in the past, she is by herself because she has pushed most of her friends, such as myself, away and the guy seems like he doesnt want to be in the picture anymore.
When I hear this story it was kinda like...damn, i feel bad for her. I mean even though we been through it and the friendship was beginning to become a real emotional strain on me, I don't want her to feel alone, you know? Yet, if this happening is partially her fault, should I feel sympathic? Should I make myself vulnerable to her again, to just be kicked back to the curb when then go on the straight and narrow with this guy in her life? Should I forget about the past and try to be a friend again? Or do I continue to do me...and whatever happens, happens...despite how she is feeling? Its a tough call...
I honeslty feel as if I am leaning toward the side of just going on about my business. I know it may seem as if I'm the Tin Man...yeah yeah have a heart and all that. But it gets tired of putting yourself out there over and over again for something that just backfires in your face. Who knows, my mind may change as I am in the Christmas spirit. However...
I'm not sure if it will...

Copperhead
Okay I promise that Im going to get better at this blogging thing and my consistency. I came home two days ago, and I must say that although I am enjoying myself and it feels like springtime, I miss my friends at Howard :( Seems like they are having a lot of fun without me though lol. Tomorrow should be fun for me also though since most of the people I've been waiting for here come back home sooooo I'm quite excited about that!
Also, I got my hair colored today...so now Brown Skin Lady has brown hair! Its a new look, I gotta get used to lookin at my head like this, but I think its alright right now, it will grow on me eventually...hopeuflly within the next couple of days!
Did you notice that I changed the name of the blog??? :)
This is pretty much all that's going on in my mind right now, so I guess Im done for now...

School Daze
Sorry, I've been on a little hiatus from the blog...the past week has been a very busy one. Its been a mixture of papers, tests, finals, studying, practices, and an F (and I've never worked so hard on a test in my life, just to recieve a 53....probably the saddest day I've had in a LONG time)....yeah my mind felt like it had been dragged into a whirlpool. Everything wasn't too overwhelming though. Heres a lil update:
It snowed on Wednesday....me being from Atlanta, the snow we get is not really snow...more like falling slush...so this snow was EXTRA exciting. I had my first real snow ball fight and everything....check me out in the pic, I was super excited!!! :)
Friday I hung out with my homie Sunshine (muddaf*kka!!! haha) and today I went ice skating....okay I'm not gonna lie, i was scared as all h3ll...but after about an hour or so I got the hang of it. So it ended up being more of a good time than a traumatizing one. Thanks to Bahama Mama for making sure I didn't die on the ice!
Soooo now I only have 3 days left before I go home. I can't believe I am already finished with my first semester in college. It really just kinda blew by me so quick that I can hardly remember everything that happened....but I do know that its been an experience. Made some really great new friends who are like family and lost a couple of old friends who, when I actually think on it now, I am not suprised I lost. Just surprising it happened the way it did. Passed tests, failed tests, joined club, made teams, took the bus by myself (lol big step huh???), went to parties, seen friends drunk and almost passed out, heard arguements, had arguements, gave and recieved hugs....As random as it was....Its truly been a learning experience....wouldnt trade any of it for the world.

Mr. Drama vs. Ms. Frustration
I...
I hate...
I HATE DRAMA
Why is it that some people have to make EVERYTHING such a big damn deal? Or instead of just talking about stuff like adults, we have to make it so dramatic? I don't understand. Never in my life have I had to deal with some of the most drama-filled people...and what makes it worse is that...most of these people are my friends.
I love my friends, don't get me wrong. But sometimes they are a bit overwhelming. You would think that people in the same situation as you would understand that you are busy, and might understand that you're not able to call them every other day like you normally would. But thats not always the case. Am I going out of my way to not call you or contact you? Nope, just busy trying to make sure my life doesn't fall apart. I mean the phone does dial both ways. If you really wanted to talk to me, don't always wait for me to call.
Ugh, this whole situation is just juvenile and frustrating. And I feel as if Im just rambling on...I need a break. ASAP.

Fried Wonton
Being allegric to things is terrible. Especially when you don't even know what they are. Me and my roomies order chinese food yesterday. I order the same thing I always get...sweet and sour chicken...because I know its safe. Yet I decided to taste some of my friend's wonton...and to this moment i still dont know what the h3ll was in it, but we ate it. Woke up the next morning (today) SWOLLEN and BUMPY....eww. I can hardly pronouce S-words right now cause of my swollen lips...ugh. And on top of that, I had to wake up and talk on the radio...slurring words and sounding real funny. Once again...ugh. I need some meds.
Peace
Peace
