2 Posts in One Day, Girl What Was Yall Doin?!

July 19, 2007

Don’t get it? LOL! Man…

Anyway, Ms. Croft tagged me and I’m not doing any work right now so here we go:

Rules: 1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts. 2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves. 3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. 4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names. 5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

1) My first kiss EVER was from a guy who is now my cousin. LMAO! That’s some sick shit. Naw but for real…when I was little, a new family moved to the area where we lived. There was Raymond, the oldest boy, Shaconna, the oldest girl and Denoltra, the youngest girl. (Sidenote: Ok, what the fuck is a Shaconna and a Denoltra?) Anyway, all the neighborhood girls loved the hell out of Raymond. He was tall, dark-skinned and he could beat all the other boys racing up and down the street. He picked me to be his “girlfriend”. I can’t remember how old I was at the time but I remember he kissed me behind one of the buildings. That was the only time we ever kissed and it was one of those scared, little kid pecks. I wasn’t no young ho or nothing like that. Dang! Anyway, a few years later, my uncle married their mother. So we all became cousins by marriage. Of course, by that time I didn’t feel attracted to Raymond. I don’t know if I ever really did. He was a boy and boys were yucky back then. My auntie and my uncle have since divorced but they did have 3 children together. I see those cousins way more often than I see the others. It’s been a few years at least. I know that Raymond is married now. Shanna (Shaconna) has a daughter and is pregnant with another child and Noltra (Denoltra) is married with kids.

2) I have a really strong belief and fear that my Granny will bury all her children before she passes away. She’s had 7 kids total. 3 died in a house fire when they were still babies (I would have had an aunt – Victoria – on my Dad’s side. That would have been cool). My uncle Kevin passed away from cancer a few years ago. My uncle Anthony has lung cancer and is not taking care of himself. We strongly suspect my Daddy has cancer but he hates doctors and really refuses to do what he needs to do to take care of himself (I was at my parent’s house the other day and almost didn’t recognize him…he’s so skinny. I’m extremely scared for him). My uncle Cedric has very bad diabetes and he doesn’t take care of himself like he should…but surprisingly he’s probably in better health than all of them.

3) I am strongly considering transferring to a more prestigious school to graduate. The school I attend now is okay but it really is like extended high school. The curriculum isn’t challenging and I figure…I’m paying all this money to get my degrees…I might as well do it big! I have already been talking to admissions counselors. I think I might do it. This school was rated one of America’s Best Colleges by Newsweek. Where could I go wrong?

4) Uhhh…8 things? Damn. Okay, ummm…speaking of school…I am an Accounting nerd. I like…LOVE it. You know how something just clicks and you totally understand it? Yeah, that’s me and those numbers. What’s really crazy though is that I sorta hate Math. Naw, lemme take that back. I like Math when I understand it. But calculus, logarithms, probabullshit…hate it. In high school, I’d even go to Accounting competitions where’d we compete against other schools in the area. NERD ALERT! LOL!

5) My ex is an idiot. Like a for real, straight up idiot. We broke up. Within WEEKS, he had a new girlfriend. 3 months in, she was pregnant and had his ass trapped. They get married, have the baby and she turns into the bitch from hell. Regardless to all this, he buys a house for them. And now he’s miserable as shit. We used to talk and be friends. Now his wife changed his number and checks his phone. She doesn’t want him talking to any girls, period. Not even the girls he grew up with. One girl he knows is a friend of mine…they all went to high school together. His wife told her she didn’t want him talking to her either. LOL! Crazy, much?
But I guess that what happens when you jump in and out of relationships and get a bitch knocked up within 3 months. Dummy.

6) Is it bad that my ex mentioned above…was the best friend to another one of my exes? Hahahahahahaha! That is another loooong story in itself but I guess I committed that crime that no person should ever commit.

7) I have thought about going natural. Growing out my relaxer and just working with my God-given hair texture. My relaxed hair is pretty much healthy but I hate being a slave to the chemicals. I went about 9-10 weeks without a relaxer before I gave in. I am weak. LOL.

8) My favorite car ever in the history of my life is the Ford Mustang. If I were to ever get a new car of my choice (cause the Malibu was Transunion’s choice for me) the Mustang would be it. But this new 2007 Nissan Altima Coupe…hot damn! I want that car BAD. Like so bad, I asked my Mommy to co-sign for me and she laughed. In my face.
It has: push-button ignition, Bluetooth hands-free phone system, touch screen navigation system, padded leather armrests…*screaming* I don’t think I have ever obsessed over a car like this. I want it. And somehow I will have it. Anybody got $20,490 I can borrow?

Okay, so since I am still fairly new to blogging I don’t have 8 people I can/want to tag. LOL However, my lucky victims are:

Old Man Neill
Tom_Gurl
Divalicious
Ghetto Economics
Peach

Damn him…

July 19, 2007
So, D got back into town last night. He was in North Carolina for business for a few days. It was his first time going to this site so he took pictures of the house his company owns. It’s really gorgeous and huge…on the lake…
Anyway, we’re at Chili’s last night and we’re looking at the pictures and I ask him how he’s going to get them onto the computer since we can’t find the cord for the camera.
He: Oh, I found the cord already.
She: WHAT?!
He: *laughing* Yeah, I found it a while ago.
She: So I’ve been tearing up the house looking for something that’s already found?!
He: *laughing*
She: So are the apartment pictures already on the computer?
He: Yeah, I’m pretty sure they are.
She: *laughing* You jerk.
He had the cord this whole time and didn’t bother to tell me. What a loser. Soooo, here are the pictures. D told me they’re not that good LOL but I wasn’t trying to be a photographer, dammit. Enjoy!

This is the front door. See how tall the ceilings are? LOVES it!

This has nothing to do with the apartment but this is my new baby. Only $150 at the Coach outlet. I could fit my car in this bag.

This is one of the paintings we have on the wall near the front door.

A view of the “den” area where the TV is. Yes, I know it’s a gotdamn mess but we had just moved in! LOL! But you see what’s already unpacked and set up…all 3 video game systems. What’s wrong with that picture?! LOL!
In our old apartment that TV seemed HUGE. Now we can barely see it. We might have to upgrade to a 60″…

Yes, this is some straight-up foolishness right here. It took us like 312 trips to the dumpster to get rid of these boxes.

Yeah. That couch we thought wouldn’t fit in the living room…yeah, it fits. Now we have all this room to spare and don’t know what to do with it.

View from the balcony. I took a better shot showing the actual apartments but then I thought…someone could find my house and try to kidnap me! LOL! The maroon car is mine and D’s white vanilla 300 is next to it. Look at that sad ass grass. I think we’re going through a drought right now. You can tell! LOL!

The kitchen. See the magnetic knife rack on the wall? Are either one of us a chef? No. Did we see that shit at Ikea and buy it cause it looked sweet? Yes! LOL!

Another view of the kitchen. You can’t even see the top of the light fixture…that’s how tall the ceilings are. Again…LOVES it!

The dining room table with our gorgeous place settings. You can probably tell we were/are going for an African theme in the living and dining room. Wait…is it fork, knife, spoon? Or knife, fork, spoon? Aw, fuck…that’s probably wrong.

The 2nd bedroom/office. Where all the drunken posting takes place. LOL!

Too many products. This is really a shame. That’s not even all of it.

Bathroom #1. It’s hard to tell how big it is but this shit is huge, man. Our color scheme in here is cream and brown.

The loves of my life. The washer and dryer are in a closet in Bathroom #1.

Big, big bed…itty bitty nightstand. Our bed is MASSIVE. If/when I fall out of it, I am DONE for.

Box o’ shoes. I haven’t yet figured out where I’m going to put them. There’s no more good space left in the master bedroom’s closet. I could put them in the 2nd bedroom’s closet. But then that would mean D would win alllll the master bedroom closet’s space for his shoes. And we do not let D win up and through here.

Ha! This is me after dealing with all that mayhem when we first moved in. Hair looking a hot ass mess, passed out somewhere. D took this pic…I don’t even remember it. LOL!

We have now been living in our apartment for a few weeks and it’s coming together nicely. No more empty boxes, we have books, pictures, etc. on the bookcases now. We still have tons more decorating to do, though. We have a lot of empty wall space and now that that corner is free of empty boxes we need something to put over there as well. I’ll keep you guys updated…but please put some decorating tips in my comments! We needs help, yall!
