I'm back on the sticky keyboard again. My brother eats in here so much there is all sorts of grossness stuck in the keys. nasty.
ANYWAY. Yesterday the aunt and uncle and cousin from PA were here, and we went to DC to the museum of American History. I wasn't dreading it or anything because my mom and dad had been a few years ago before they closed it to remodel it and said it was pretty cool, and i knew that they had the ruby slippers and the gowns of all the first ladies etc. So i was kinda like "okay at least it's not the portrait gallery or something" (i absolutely HATE that place) and willingly went along. I did drag the boyfriend with me, i needed an ally or it would've been totally terrible. PLUS he made me sit through learning how to solve a rubiks cube (which i successfully did BTW) and this was totally payback because i know he hates museums.
So we get there and it is PACKED, because everyone else in VA/MD has family visiting and is taking them into DC to visit various museums. And i don't do crowds and stupid people and just... yea. So we walk through some random exhibits that weren't that interesting. And then we split up and the girls go see the first ladies exhibit and the americana/ruby slippers exhibit and the boys head off to the military history exhibit. I was really disappointed in the first ladies exhibit because i KNEW they had all these gowns and were supposedly redoing the exhibit, only it wasn't as big as i expected and they only had like prolly 12 gowns. They had other accessories and china and stuff but i was really bummed cuz i was expecting this sweeping exhibit with a gown from almost every presidency. Also, they weren't in chronological order? Or any order at all for that matter, it was super weird. The americana exhibit wasn't that cool either. Saw the ruby slippers, kermit the frog, oscar the grouch, and some other things but that exhibit was really small too. I'm assuming they have more stuff, but they need to put it out!
Overall, i was very dissapointed in the whole museum because i was expecting a lot of artifacts but they didn't seem to have a lot of stuff. There were a lot of pictures and videos etc. but that's not what i wanna see! i want to see actual things on the subject of the exhibit! I SUPPOSE they're still in the process of redoing it, and intend to add more to all the exhibits (because the ones i saw were quite small) but the museum is HUGE!! You probably couldn't see everything you wanted to in one day. If you're thinking about going, i suggest you go when people are back at work/school so it's not so crowded, and maybe even postpone your visit till they add more stuff.
SO we get back from DC and it was all gravy and i had a relatively good time. But the family fun is not over! We THEN had to hop in the car and drive down to Orange, Virginia (yes that is a real place) to visit the grandparents and have dinner. I drove. And 95 was pure hell, bumper to bumper essentially the entire way. And then when we FINALLY got there, my grandma hadn't even cooked! They ordered BBQ! Now i love bbq and everything, but i was REALLY hoping for some grandma cooking, at least dessert or something.
NADA.
So i sat around and watched football and skyped with my aunt/uncle/little cousin out in Seattle. And then sat in the car for another hour and half to come home. It was great....
TOday i slept in (yay!) and went to the nail salon and watched The Shining. Tomorrow i'm FINALLY getting my haircut and hanging out with colin for a photo shoot and don't have to work! And am doing laundry, so that i have clothes to wear to New Jersey. ANOTHER family experience i'm not looking forward to...
i was GOING to head over to the BFs house but it appears that right now that's not a good idea so i think i'm gonna get back to coloring my giant poster/mural of pirates of the Caribbean that tricia got me for christmas. Lataaaaa

Mele Kalikimaka
FYI that ^ means "merry christmas" in Hawaiian. On a side note i love love and miss hawaii, and would seriously consider moving back there. Probably not permanently, but at least for awhile.
I'm currently sitting downstairs (NOT on my laptop!) awaiting the arrival of my aunt and uncle from PA, and for the boy to get here. Hopefully he comes before they do so i can prepare him. Typing on a real keyboard is kinda weird right now, also the space bar and letter "a" are sticking. But i digress....
Christmas was splendid. I baked cookies and pies and they turned out pretty tasty. I received some much needed things, such as an external hard drive. I also got a SLANKET!!!! and a bunch of sweaters, a super cute pair of dunks, and some other random things. Everyone liked the gifts i
got them which is good, i always kinda worry about it. My brother has worn the shirt i got him 2 days in a row now. I'd say that's pretty awesome. It's some swedish band or something. Vikings?
Today i worked a half day even though i wasn't really scheduled to because my dad "suggested" that i go in, and he also left his phone at home. And i need money. And it was a half day anyway so it wasn't bad. Then came home, changed, went to tricia's house for a brunch thing where i ate all her moms good food and talked about dance team memories with her and our former coach. It was great. She got me these pirate coloring MURALS and i can't wait to color them. I've left all my supplies at school but i think i might hijack my mom's markers just to color one of them.
Overall my break so far has been pretty alright. Tomorrow we're going to DC to go to the American History museum, then down to visit the GPs in Orange Virginia for dinner (...yay...)
i have all next week off, and am FINALLY getting my haircut on monday. which is great because it looks absolutely TERRIBLE right now.
That's really it. I'll prolly have lot's of adventures to share after tomorrow. Gonna be great....

Once Upon a Time,
there was a girl, who at 5:38 am on the morning she was going home for the holidays had not yet come close to being finished packing. As she looked at the garbage bag along with a suitcase and duffle bag full of clothes with despair, she decided a blog post would be a smashing idea.
After all, sleep deprivation had been a sort of routine lately.
However, as she lay in her bed with her ears ringing, she realized that she was, in fact, tired. And rightfully so. Finals had been a rough 2 weeks, and sleep had been hard to come by. Luckily, caffeine and other things had NOT.
And so, on her 20th birthday which also happened to be the day of her last final, AND a day in which she stayed in the library until 6am, she decided that she needed a freaking break.
With the birthday activities relatively low-key due to finals etc, she went shopping, had a drink or two, and simply hung out with her friends.
One friend, brought over The Desperate Housewives all 4 seasons on DVD. And since the girl had only JUST started watching the show this season, catching up was a must. And so began 2 lovely days of sleeping and sitting around watching the wives, with not a care in the world as to which chapters to read or papers to write or making sure to be on time for class.
And it was glorious.
She also got her nails done and had an awkward encounter at the nail salon, but that is a story for another day.
And tonight (er rather, last night?) she went dancing with her friends. And didn't have to ward of any skeezy guys or worry about waking up with a hangover when her father picked her up (again).
And it was glorious.
She should, however, started packing a long time ago.....

Myth: Busted
i decided to do something related to what i'm currently studying. i'm tired of hearing people talk about stuff they don't know anything about, including "manipulating the system". With that, i give you some facts to make you think about our priorities as a country. If you are going to talk about "welfare" (which doesn't technically exist) and how the system is being manipulated, please educate yourself first.
Facts about Poverty, "Welfare", and Homelessness:
- 75% of homeless people have a job
- The largest single group "on welfare" is children -- about one in every four children under the age of 18 receives welfare benefits. America has the greatest level of child poverty anywhere in the industrialized world
- Programs under the Department of Social Services are: TANF, Food Stamps, and Medicaid
- In order to apply for benefits from D.S.S. you must have: all of your childrens' (and your own) Birth Certificates, Immunization records, and fill out various packets of paperwork. How many of you have a copy of your birth certificate and immunization records on hand?
- If you have a felony, you cannot recieve benefits
- TANF (Temporary Aid for Needy Families) provides benefits for a maximum of 2 years, starting when you first receive benefits.
- In order to be eligible for TANF, you MUST have a job. If you cannot for some reason have a job (ex. a 77 year old grandmother with 4 kids to raise) you must do volunteer work in place of a job.
- The only way Department of Social Services communicates is by mail. So if you don't have an address, tough shit.
- Welfare accounts for 1% of the federal budget, and about 2% of the state budget.
- The majority of women on welfare are white
- Families living on welfare live FAR below the poverty line. On TANF you recieve the following amount of assistance per month based on the number of kids:
:: 1 kid: $254
:: More than one: $320
:: 4 or more: a little over $400
- Homelessness can be defined as any person that doesn't have a permanent place to return to after being hospitalized, institutionalized, or living somewhere where you're not on the lease. This INCLUDES temporarily staying with family/friends until you move into your own place. IF YOU ARE LIVING THERE, AND NOT ON THE LEASE, THAN YOU ARE CONSIDERED HOMELESS.
- There is not a SINGLE location in the United States where housing is affordable on minimum wage ($6.15/hour).
And no, this is not shit i looked up on the internet. This is REAL shit from social work class. Legit. Educate yourself before you go preaching about something. Thanks.

A Prayer
Dear Lord,
i know i haven't been the best person, but i've tried my hardest and i ask you, if you have ANY mercy that you will help me in this time of need. NOW would be the time to prove that you are, in fact, real. Please give me the strength and focus to get through these next 2 weeks. That i may finish my paper and that it may be good. And that i may also do well on all my exams. And that i may also not become too unpleasant, and get at least a little bit of sleep and not totally lose my mind. PLEASE help me in these final hours.
i also pray that the person who was in that accident on friday is alright, and that you are with him and his family in such a terrible time.
i dunno if you read blogs God, but i hope this one makes it up there because i need all the help i can get.
Amen.

Shaken
So tonight (around 2am) i'm on my way home from my boyfriends house, and i'm almost home when i see this wrecked car in the barrier (it was the intersection of tripleridge and silverbrook) and i was like "hm that's kinda weird they wouldn't clean it up" and as i'm driving by i realize that there's something person-like sticking out of the windshield. I look around and cars are just driving by so i turn around in the CVS parking lot and pull up next to the car and sure enough, there's a guy halfway out of the broken windshield. So i call 911 and as i'm talking to the lady i see him moving (i guess he saw my blinkers or something) so i get out of the car and he's trying to get up and just going "help me help me" and the woman on the phone goes "okay EMS is on the way thank you" and hangs up. So i'm like do i stay till they get here or what? And its dark, and cold and cars are just driving by and the guy just keeps trying to move and saying "help me help me" and finally i'm like "i called 911 EMS is coming. Stop trying to move they're gonna get you out" but he's like, not listening to me. And finally, what seems like 5 years later although it was probably not even 3 minutes i see the flashing lights and the fire engine gets there and they just say thank you and tell me to leave.
And the fucking sick thing is, that i saw probably 3 cars drive right by, and then at least 2 more when i was in the car talking to 911 before this woman stopped to ask if i was okay and stuff, before she left when i said i was fine and that i was talking to the emergency people. Who KNOWS how long that guy had been there in the dark and the cold, probably slowly dying. People don't notice or care about fucking anything.
I know i did the right thing and that it's something to be proud of. But i really don't know how i'm going to sleep. It's kind of like last year at school when i saw that kid get hit by a car, and everytime i closed my eyes i heard/saw it. And both my parents are asleep and i can't talk to them about it until tomorrow. And now i have a headache.
Some break....

Cliche Thanksgiving Post
'Tis the season. Things i'm thankful for:
- My friends. Without them i would be nothing. They keep me sane, make me laugh, and help me out. I absolutely love every single one of you guys with all my heart.
- My Family. They're fucking crazy (but who's isn't?) and drive me up the wall sometimes. But it's always good to be home and the debt can never be repaid.
- A home cooked meal. College has it's perks, missing out on mom's cooking isn't one of them. i cannot WAIT to absolutely gorge myself.
- My education. I love school, and am so lucky to have the opportunity to further my education and study something i love. And get the "college experience" as well.
- This country. For coming together and electing the right leader despite everything.
- Chapstick (i feel like this is self explanatory)
- Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and Legally Blonde. My remedy for all things sad.
- My Boo (duh). Because he puts up with me and still loves me even though sometimes i make it REALLY hard. Because he would've gotten me a puppy had it not been for some "discussion" with my father, and helps me make 15 turkey hats because my mom INSISTS that we have them, and plays video games with my brothers even though i know he'd rather be doing other things.
- The internet. But seriously i don't think i could live without it and its sad.
- Veggie Trays. With ranch. i could live off of them
- Coffee (i'm in college, remember?)
- My tomato plant. For proving that i can do it, and that it tastes SO much better when you've grown it yourself
- Spell Check. I'd sound like a complete idiot with out it.
- Calculators. Because i don't have enough fingers.
- My Sanity. It's still hangin in there, haven't totally lost it yet.
- Experience. I've been through some rough times and some really really good times in my life. And i think that my life experience has shaped me into the person i am today and i am incredibly thankful for that. Life has taught me some lessons (although i know it's not done yet) and i'm not even 20 years old! (getting close though) i am glad that i have had the experiences that i've had, and wouldn't change anything given the chance.

"Wait, i didn't think that ACTUALLY happened.."
So, this weekend was really fun. Like the most fun i've had in awhile because i've been so stressed out lately that i haven't really been able to do much besides school.
Friday me and shayla decided to throw k'shonda a surprise birthday party (her REAL birthday is today) so we forced thomas to get her out of the house for a few hours, while me and kelsey set shit up because shayla had to work. And then it was like 1040 and i had this moment of panic because no one was here yet and k-pup was supposed to come around 11, and then suddenly ALL these people showed up at once, and we crammed them all into our kitchen (which isn't verry large) to wait for her to get home. So when she gets home shayla leads her to the kitchen and we open the door and all yell SURPRISE and she like JUMPED it was sooo awesome. And then the drinking/dancing/partying commenced and i had a really good time.
And then Saturday i got up and worked on my paper all day. I didn't finish it but i submited it to be workshopped. Its like 5 pages long. I'm royally fucked but i can work on it over break and then the week after and hopefully i'll get some good feedback tomorrow to help me. So i submitted it despite being very incomplete and then kelsey came over and we went to Mikes house for his birthday party. And we were told there would be jello wrestling so we came prepared with bathing suits. And then we drank some liquid courage and wrestled. And it was really fun and really slippery and really really REALLY cold. And then there was a group shower with all the competitors (no nakedness!) and we got dressed and came home to change. And i had a blasty blast but the boyfriend got mad when i posted pics so i had to take them off facebook. I will post a few here though in a lil bit. It was like a movie. Like i didn't think shit like that ACTUALLY happened in real life...
And then today i sat around all day, then went to church, then watched like 3 lifetime movies. And should probably be figuring out my answers to my questions for my "oral interview" tomorrow in spanish class but that can wait.
I'm really glad i had a good weekend, because this is pretty much my last weekend to party seeing as how finals are literally a week away for me. I don't regret it i just hope some of the PLDs i made don't come back and bite me in the ass and that the slightly red tint i have comes out soon. THANKSGIVING IS SO SOON THANK GOD.
PS i heard that Twilight movie wasn't even that good. So all you vampire maniacs just need to CALM. DOWN. Thanks.

The 703 embarrasses me YET again...
Okay. Now, i have seen some pretty STUPID ass stuff come out of the 703 area (that's northern virgina/NOVA in case ya'll don't know) but this takes the cake. Like, seriously guys? i mean i know Woodbridge or "Hoodbridge" isn't the best of places in the 703 area code, but this isn't the projects people. I'm gonna let the video speak for itself...
THINGS THAT I FIND HUMEROUS ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
- they shot most of it in the COMMUTER LOT off of I-95
- The nationals flags on the cars
- The ugly ass "snow bunny" that is featured. i'm offended...
- The random ass neighborhoods/potomac mills/DALE CITY LANES/shopping centers featured
- "PG raised me".... enough said...
- they don't live anywhere NEAR the damn metro
- random white guy in the commute lot with his stunna shades on
- Dale City is called "the friendliest little city around"
- Prince William County is the 10th richest county. Loudon and Fairfax being numbers 1&2. Also, the city from the NOVA area that makes the FBI crime list is ALEXANDRIA!! NOT WOODBRIDGE!!
Ya'll need to take your dumbasses BACK to Hylton and Gar-Field highschool. No one's ever heard of you so stop tryin to put NOVA, much less "Hoodbridge" on the map.
I'm not saying nova/woodbridge/etc doesn't have a gang problem, or no ones ever been killed, or anything like that. But really now? This is just ridic....
THINGS THAT I FIND HUMEROUS ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
- they shot most of it in the COMMUTER LOT off of I-95
- The nationals flags on the cars
- The ugly ass "snow bunny" that is featured. i'm offended...
- The random ass neighborhoods/potomac mills/DALE CITY LANES/shopping centers featured
- "PG raised me".... enough said...
- they don't live anywhere NEAR the damn metro
- random white guy in the commute lot with his stunna shades on

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
It's been like a week since my last entry but tough bananas because i've been a busy little beehive. The semester is coming to a rapid end (yikes!) and school has not been kind to me. Multiple exams and papers later, i'm trying to stay on the grind but my motivation seems to be trying to take a vacation. My draft of my 15 page paper is due friday (that's tomorrow ya'll!) and i currently have a page written. Whompity whomp whomp whomp. On monday however, after my exam i had a good talk with mom about things, and i really just have to push through to the end. Thanksgiving is a week away and i know people who are going home already! But i have too much to do before then, and even then this "break" isn't going to be one because i have almost all my finals the week we get back.
By the way, the whole point of having an "exam period" is to TAKE EXAMS!! While having one class with an exam earlier than finals is nice, having 4 is not. Because you don't get that extra time that comes with not having to go to class. i mean all i'm sayin is that it's really not fair to us students.
Anyway. Last night i went to bed at like 9 because i was falling asleep and had an 8am and maybe attempted to get my sleep cycle back to normal. I did absolutely nothing yesterday, and it was a total waste. Because, as i've stated, i have a lot of shit to do. I really need to just buckle down and do it. Bla bla bla whatever let's talk about something positive.
Cool things that are going on in my life:
- i've officially become a psychology major. And have chosen it with total confidence that it's the right thing for me.
- i got all the classes i wanted (except for modern dance) for next semester. My schedule isn't looking too bad either.
- On saturday i went with people from church to Summerhill elementary school to paint their courtyard. It was really fun because we got to paint whatever we wanted. What SUCKED was that it was the day of the stupid Richmond Marathon and it took us a good hour and some change to get there, and then back home again. What a dumb idea.
- I've also started helping out with caritas at church, where we do intake for the program. Basically homeless guys who have signed up for the program come in and hang out for a hour or so until the buses come and take them to their various churches for the night. So i hang out with homeless guys and play cards. They taught me how to play spades. It's really fun. If you want to get involved let me know, campus ministry has thursdays.
- Got a brace for my Carpal Tunnel. Computer work is more bearable now
- I'm going to be 20 in 3 weeks. Holy crap.
- i got a B on my ethics exam! The one i had to make up!
- Thanks to my amazing roommate, i got a ticket to see Bill Cosby. It's totally random that he's coming here, especially for free, but i'm excited because i love him and i have a horrible feeling he's going to die soon. Hilarity will ensue.
Thanks to the stupid animal planet, i've decided that i NEED to acquire a German Shepherd puppy. They are smart, loyal, easy to train, adapt well to urban environments, good guard dogs, not to mention ADORABLE.
LOOK AT THAT LITTLE FACE!!! Purebreds are super super expensive, but there are tons that need to be adopted and rescued, which is what i would do. I believe in adopting and rescuing dogs unless you are planning on using them for show and absolutely NEED purebred. Why pay all that money when there is a dog equally as good that needs to be rescued? I'm currently campaigning people (parents, boyfriend, GP's) to get me one for christmas. But if i don't get one, i'll probably just find one down here and adopt it. CURSE YOU ANIMAL PLANET!! i wasn't even intentionally watching it! Whenever i watch animal planet i get all animal activisty and it's never a good scene.
Also, i've recently discovered that i really really like Regina Spector. So if you have some of her music and are tryin to share, i wouldn't be mad.
More laterrrrrrrrrrrr

THE BEST TUESDAY EVER
Normally, tuesdays aren't good for me. I have both an 8am and a 3 hour long night class, along with a regular class during the day. I also usually spend most of my day reading and doing homework. Let's just say the HIGHLIGHT of my tuesday is the fact that Law and Order SVU comes on (which i'm currently missing right now).
NOT TODAY HOWEVER!
The fact that i couldn't fall asleep last night (again) was made better by the fact that my 8am was CANCELED!!! Giving me yet another day to prepare for the exam i missed last week (eek what a mess) and the chance to sleep in until 11. When i woke up, i was pleased to discover that my food baby from last night was gone.
Spanish, was spanish. Who cares about that class. I then went to Shafer as usual and they had a BAKED POTATOE BAR!! AND IT WAS AMAZING!! i got cheese, broccoli, chillie, and bacon on mine. And it was good. The mac n cheese was all right too. Came home, typed some emails, took a nap, did some homework, and debated skipping my night class to go to STRUT workshop.
THANK GOD I WENT!! It was the coolest class EV-ER.
My teacher brought in 6 guys who are recovering addicts, currently in residential treatment at Rubicon. We were broken up into 3 smaller groups and got to talk to them and hear their stories and advice and it was INCREDIBLE. One of them is a VCU student! In the social work program! It was truly an amazing experience, and i was lucky that i got to experience it. I was so excited i could barely stay seated.
I already pretty much knew that was the population i wanted to work with. However this really set it in stone for me. I'm interested in criminal and abnormal psychology and all that stuff, but what i really want to do is help people. If you know me well enough, you can probably guess that personal experience has helped to direct me to this path. And if you don't know what i'm talking about and are curious, ask me sometime. But this pretty much made me decide i want to be an addiction counseler. I know they make shit money (unless you're Dr. Drew, my hero) but i don't see addicts as some guy homeless on the street. They weren't always like that. You never know what backround an addict has, where they came from, how they got there, or why. You find them in the most suprising places. Hell, you could know one right now and not have any sort of idea. But i don't see them as some loser crack head, rather a friend, sister, brother, mother, father, aunt, uncle, lawyer, doctor, student, mechanic, nurse WHATEVER. Because that's who they are.
And i know i can do this, even more i WANT to do this.
And that's why today is the best tuesday ever.

Stress
So, if you haven't gathered from previous entries, i've been feeling a little stressed out lately. Mostly from school. Actually, ALL from school. But not the point. ANYWAYS when i get stressed out i start to do weird things. This usually occurs around finals, although this semester it's pretty much been whenever i want. So, without further ado, i present:
WEIRD THINGS JANE DOES WHEN SHE GETS STRESSED OUT! (i would like to note that all of these things have actually happened)
1) GET THE SUDDEN URGE TO STICK SOMETHING UP MY NOSE!! And i mean, sudden. urge. I even IMed cory to tell her about it. I really wanted to stick a lego up there, but she suggested something that wouldn't result in having to say "it seemed like a good idea at the time" to the people in the ER, such as a pen.
In case you were wondering, NO i DID NOT stick anything up there. The urge surpassed and i escaped emergency room and booger free.
2) STAND ON MY HEAD. I do this weird thing where i sort of kneel on my bed, with my head resting on the bed, and like rock back and forth. It's hard to explain, but the best example i can give you is that it's like a cross between intense praying and a head stand.
Like this, only without the nasal spray, and more weight on the head. And rocking back and forth. It's actually quite soothing i suggest you try it sometime...
3) LAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR WITH A PILLOW OVER MY HEAD. in X formation, BLARING the pixies (preferably the song "where is my mind"). Apparently, this is quite startling to walk in on....
4) DISCUSS OBSESSIVELY HOW I WANT TO SHAVE MY HEAD. I'm completely serious, when it gets BAD, i really feel like just shaving all my hair off. i can totally relate to Brittney Spears and her meltdown...
5). SING RICK ASTLEY OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN
Once you pop, the fun don't stop.
6). DANCE TO TWIST AND SHOUT ON MY BED. I also sing PYT, and Gz and the Hustlas over and over again. Kimya Dawson sometimes makes an appearence.
Gz and Hustlas is also my homework hype up song. Try it. Hellooooo motivation!
7) TAKE OBSESSIVE AMOUNTS OF STRANGE PICTURES WITH PHOTOBOOTH. And then put them on facebook. I don't think this needs an example, you've all seen them.
8) MAKE SIGNS. And post them places. Or make people wear them.
Poor cory. I made her particpate/put up with all of this madness. She clearly hates her life (or at least me) in this picture. The other side of this sign says "P.Y.T" AND YES IN CASE YOUR WONDERING IT DOES IN FACT SAY "AQUALUNG"
9) DRESS UP IN WEIRD OUTFITS. Usually involving rain boots (or obscure shoes of some kind), sweat pants or shorts, a random article of clothing, and a NON clothing item. Hats and sunglasses are preferred for this as well.
10) MAKE THINGS OUT OF BOXES. Like a raptor outfit.
That is a raptor head on my head. Made out of free boxes from the bookstore. Be jealous
11) PAINT MY ENTIRE FACE. In public. For absolutely no reason...
Seriously, i don't know how anyone puts up with me. Or why i have friends. Because to be honest this is a rather short list. I guess it's a better way to deal with stress than other alternatives?? Props go out to cory because she lived in a tiny ass room with me for an ENTIRE. YEAR. I'm sure her take on this is totally different from mine haha.
Anyways. Hope that was interesting, if not entertaining. I'm seriously getting carpal tunnel.
But seriously.

Tonight i got followed home by this totally creepy guy. I've like blown him off before, because he is totally OLD AND CREEPY AND FROM ENGLAND AND JUST GROSS!! But he like turned around from where he was walking to talk to me and just aijskdfniuwjeknlf. i told him my name was jessica. And i didn't want to make a huge scene because what if he was crazy and tried to kill or kidnap me or something?? And he remembered that i was a pig for halloween and asked me about what i was studying and just sick sick weird sick.
And now i feel like i'm not gonna be able to get away from him, and see him everywhere, and just ickkkkk. Next time he comes up to me i'm cussing his ass out, i don't care if he tries to kill me or whatever. Fuck street smarts i'm gonna make him leave me the fuck alone.

i suck i suck i suck
Weekend recap:
Thursday:
Got up, went to my 8am, found out i got a B on my last test so i decided to NOT drop the class. Also found out i have a test on thursday. Hopefully will NOT regret the decision to keep the class. Got a Bagel. Went to spanish class, took a test, went to shafer. Came home, cleaned up the house with k'shonda, cleaned the kitchen, and started setting up for the party. Went with byron to get alcohol and pick up the blacklights/fog machine. Set all that stuff up while watching a show about haunted houses. Made the punch, realized it was nowhere NEAR enough. Shayla came home, gave us money, went to kroger to buy juice/soda/chicken. Yes, we bought fried chicken. We were hungry. It was good. Made some more punch, arranged furniture, and got ready! Donned our AWESOME halloween costumes (3 little pigs!) started sippin and had a good time! Not as many people came as we expected, but it was still a lot of fun. SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T SHOW UP AND I WAS KINDA MAD!! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! I didn't even drink that much and by the end of the night (when we were kicking people out) was feeling like absolute SHIT. Kelsey slept over and we had fun.
Friday:
Headache like a bitch, and i threw up like twice. I SWEAR ON MY LIFE THAT I AM NEVER DRINKING ANYTHING WITH ARISTOCRAT IN IT AGAIN! EVEN IF IT TASTES FINE! I've never felt SO shitty after drinking SO little. Tried to make it to my 2 o'clock class, and realized i wasn't even going to make it a block away from my house. Crawled back in bed and slept until 7 pm.
Like i said, i SUCK.
Then ate some food (rice i think?) put the halloween costume back on, and drank a little bit in prep for the dance party at 534. We waited in line for freaking EVER even though we were on the pointless didn'tevencheckit VIP list. It was packed, but i had fun. I cussed a guy out cuz he kept touching me and coming up to me and pulling on my hat. And i danced my ass off, even though my buzz was GONE by the time we got inside. Came home when it was over, changed into pjs, ate a ton of food and watched tv. Kelsey decided to go home at like 430 because she had to get up early or something. So she left, and i went to bed totally unaware of the situation going on in the alley with our neighbors.
But THAT is a story for another time.
Saturday:
Got up, talked to k-pup, found out about the whole neighbor thing, and decided to go over there with her and apologize. They were relatively cool about it. Putzed around on the internet, did some reading, cleaned up the kitchen (again) then read some more and watched The shining and paranormal state. i didn't go out because i was on like people overload. But i already posted about that. Went to bed late because i couldn't fall asleep because my mind was spinning because i just realized how the smester is almost over and how much work i have to do.
Sunday (today):
Got a phone call that allena was on her way up. Did she ask? no, she told me. And we were going to shortpump, and then nacho mamas. So, i got up. Read for a few hours, then got picked up to go to shortpump. Bought a shirt on sale for 9 dollars at urban outfitters, and then went to nacho mamas. It was fun i guess. I was in a pretty sour mood. Mostly i just concentrated on keeping my mouth shut cause i thought i might snap at someone. Came back and watched Desperate Housewives (SO. GOOD) and now i'm here, fucking around on the internet, instead of doing ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE!!!
God, what the FUCK is wrong with me? I realized that even though i really want Thanksgiving to be here because i want a break so desperately and to see seyi and for once just BE HOME (i never get like this really) that the approach of thanksgiving means the end of the semester and i'm not ready for that either. Because i have so much work to do (paperpaperpaper) plus tests and just idk i've never felt so out of it and overwhelmed in my life. Oh wait i lied, i felt like this junior year of highschool, when i almost failed out. COOL.
Bla bla bla i suck. I promsie i'll write something interesting soon, i just have to get all this bitching out of my system.
Also, next time i'm at walmart or somewhere and someone asks me to see my receipt, i'm saying "No".

Oh wait i lied, i felt like this junior year of highschool, when i almost failed out. COOL.
Bla bla bla i suck. I promsie i'll write something interesting soon, i just have to get all this bitching out of my system.
Also, next time i'm at walmart or somewhere and someone asks me to see my receipt, i'm saying "No".
BLAH BLAH BLAH
i've been fucking wasting my time lately. And getting nothing accomplished. And being really moody and cranky. And i don't like it.
Tonight, i stayed in. I needed to, i'll recap my weekend tomorrow but i just needed to NOT go out and have some alone time. So i started reading more research for my paper that i'm about to fall behind on. And then i went downstairs to make some chicken (successful) and found out The Shining was on.
So i watched that.
Alone.
In the dark.
It was great. And then paranormal state came on, and this girl was LEGIT POSSESSED BY A DEMON.
So i watched that.
With k'shonda.
In the dark.
And then i watched the very begining of The Shining because i realized i've never seen it.
And then it was like almost one in the morning and i'd read all of 2 pages. So i came up here and fucked around on the internet and now i'm about to go to sleep and i STILL haven't gotten jack shit done. And tommorrow my friend is coming up (wether i like it or not) so i'm not gonna really get anything done tomorrow either. COOL.
I think i'm getting carpal tunnel from my laptop.....

My Tap Dance Hero
Savion Glover is one of my heroes. He is the most incredible tapper i've ever seen. He also did all the tap dancing for Mumble in Happy Feet. I got to see his broadway show (tony award winning) and it was absolutely amazing. Here are some vids i found (including the first time i saw him on Sesame Street).

What the fuck am i doing??
i realized last night that i need to start dancing again. Or i'm going to go fucking insane.

Zebra zebra zebra
My sweater is making me lint central. I'm absolutely covered in gray fuzz.
I'm sitting in anthropology class right now. it's usually much more interesting but today all we're talking about is patterns of subsistence and economic systems. Booooringggg. We're getting all into the social aspect of gifts, and it's really complicated and makes me think about Christmas which is super far away. Except not really and i don't like that idea. Gifts are super complicated. i never really realized it
Today was freaking gross. I left for class at 11:45 and it was cool and sunny and i wore sunglasses. And then when i got out of class at 12:50 it was dark and cloudy and freezing outside. And when i got out of class at 2:50 it was pouring rain and even colder. Miserable.
Today i was in a super weird mood, and i started obsessively writing the word zebra all over my notes in english class. Then i drew the word zebra in zebra print, and it had a thought bubble with a picture of a zebra in it that was saying "wtf" than the thought bubble had a thought bubble that said "cool!"
I'm super weird.
Everyone i know has been having a tough time lately. Whether its school or relationships or just plain old bad luck. I don't know what's going on but everyone's stressed out and just getting their ass kicked by life. It's not fair. But i guess "life isn't fair".
No one said it would be easy.
They just promised it would be worth it.

But seriously
The circus, vegas, or disney world are sounding seriously good right now.
Its 6:05 on a Sunday, and i got out of bed 2 hours ago. WASTE. But lets be honest i desperately needed the sleep. I'm sitting here, trying to write my point sentence outline, and it's not going well because 1. i don't even really know what a point sentence outline is and 2. i don't really even know what my paper is 100% about yet. I'm one of those people that kind of figures everything out AS i'm writing it. Not a planner. And i've done all my other homework for tomorrow so really, i'm left with just this.
This weekend was better than the last few.
Friday went to a kegger at a house that smelled like vomit and pitbull puppies, but the backyard was a sweet setup. Then it rained. But it was fine because of all the trees. Saw this kid that i have never seen NOT falling over drunk, then saw him get his ass beat by these guys we were with. All over a sports team. Took his jacket, then we went to a house dance party that was pretty good. The usual deal. Cept everyone was standing outside instead of inside dancing. Then when we were outside cooling off, saw about 2-3 more fights, then dipset because the cops were about to come. On the way home, saw the cops speeding past. Yet another richmond party busted.
Saturday got up at 930 to go help set up for the Monroe Park festival. The whole carver tent thing really came together. Thank GOD. I got a awesome tshirt with a cool graphic on the back that said "staff" on the front. It's funny how much a uniform means to people. This lady came up to ask me how to get to MCV campus and i was just like "uhhhh its far away". She was super confused, but that's prolly because it was 11o'clock and the monroe park thing didn't start till 12. It was rainy and miserable and i didn't really want to stay, so i went with amanda and benji to kroger and then to benji/roberto's place for pancakes. Banana walnut. They were delicious.
Benji is from Australia and when he asked us what size pancakes we wanted, we told him normal. He then made pancakes the size of the pan. When asked "what the hell?" he said that in Australia, that IS normal size, and you get a stack of them. So we each had one giant, plate size banana pancake. Perfect saturday breakfast.
Then i came home, and took a good 2 hour nap. Got up, watched tv, got a package from my mom full of halloween goodies. I've already eaten all the gummie bears. Went to brendans for hot dogs (he has 36 of them) came back and played scrabble. This guy that came down with melanie (who i kinda decided i didn't really like) was getting WAY to into that game. it is not that serious. Got ready, headed over to the Bodnar party.
The Bodnar party was fun, once some party poopers left and we got a game of fuck you pyramid going. Serious guy got way into that as well; i was the dealer, and not him. General silliness occured (including a sweet break dance battle) and i got some incriminating photos. Then we walked to main street to go to this other party. It was interesting, weird vibes. The roommates got into a fight and it was awkward, but their dogs were absolutely adorable. The one girl who lived there looked just like Topanga from Boy Meets World. Except skinnier. Finally walked back and crawled into bed around 4.
So. That was my weekend. I've now wasted a good 40 minutes or so, and its dark outside. I've seen maybe 3 hours of sunlight today. My room is a mess and i need to clean it up but i'm just not in the mood and i have to be in the mood to clean. I did however load and run the dishwasher yesterday.
Ok, going to work on my outline/paper now. Prolly just do some more reading to get some sort of direction to where i'm trying to go with this thing.
Also. KFC bowls are really good. Even WITH the corn...

I'm joining the circus
Remember how i said i didn't have a lot of work to do this weekend?
i lied. Found out today that my point sentence outline is due on monday. That's basically planning out what your paper is going to say. So it's almost writing the paper.
poop.
i'm watching oceans 11 right now. And i've decided that i want to work in Vegas. Be a black jack dealer or a cocktail waitress or something. i think that'd be fun. I've also decided that being a theif would be pretty fun as well. So maybe i'll just drop out of school and become a professional criminal. Or maybe i'll just move to florida and work at Disney World and become a dancer or princess or something. Or join the circus. All of these options are sounding REALLY good right now.
Halloween costume is complete. For under 20 dollars. Ohhhhhh yeaaaa. I'm not down with paying 50 bucks for 3 tiny peices of fabric that i'm only gonna wear once. So stoked for Halloween its gonna be aweeesomme.
Tommorow i'm helping out with the Monroe Park celebration for VCU's 40th anniversary. I'll be in the carver tent in the villiage area. You should come say hi.

Sleep is the cousin of death
I googled the word "salty" (because that's how i've been feeling lately) and that's what came up.There are several things i find humorous about these images (they were all on the first page). But the best part i think is the train from Thomas the Tank Engine. Did anyone else watch that show? It was a regular at my house. I watched it, and both my brothers LOVED it. Over the summer i found all our brio train track and made a sweet track in our basement. It was awesome. I made Seyi take a picture of it. Anyway i don't remember this particular train (whose name is Salty) but he looks like a total doofus. It's the teeth.
Pirate monkey and kid drawing of the salty sea dog are also good ones.
I FINISHED MY REVIEW OF LITERATURE PAPER! It's only 6 pages. Relatively small victory. And i'm pretty sure i have WAY to many quotes because i was going over my notes/guidelines and it said "not a lot of quotes" and i have a lot. But oh well that way i didn't plagiarize (heaven forbid) and i'm pretty sure it's the only way i would've been able to fill the minimum 6 pages.
There are so many holes in my research. i got a LOT of work to do before this bitch of a final paper. FUCKKKK.
Not much has changed since my last few posts. Plans for the weekend: sleep, vcu monroe park celebration thing, drink drink drink! And do spanish. But i have NO MAJOR ANYTHINGS DUE NEXT WEEK! (i don't think) so i am excited because maybe i can unwind a little bit and stop pumping my body full of caffiene and driving myself insane.
Highly unlikely.
But here's hoping!!
I'll probably also start reading the books Cory got me. Don't hate, i love reading!
On a side note: i am slightly bummed i didn't get to attend Obama-rama on wednesday. However i heard it was an absolute mad house with 13,000 people inside the colliseum, and another 7,000 outside with tv screens. And people lining up at 5am when doors opened at 10!! MADNESS! Way too cold for that shit.
It's getting cold.
And i don't like it one bit.

fail
I'm sitting in the starbucks at the library NOT working on the draft for my review of lit paper that's due in.... 45 minutes. I have 2 out of six pages written. SPECTACULAR.
On monday i got a whopping 2 hours of sleep because i stayed up to study for my ethics exam which was at 8am. Then i somehow stayed awake all day. Last night's sleep was good.
I dunno lately people (including those that don't even really know me that well) have been asking what's wrong and if i'm okay and the truth is i don't really know if i'm okay. I'm feeling SO overwhelmed with school and i'm trying to stay afloat but it just keeps trying to pull me under. Like normally when i get like this i just give up and say "fuck it" but i can't do that in this situation because i will fail out.
And i'ts affecting everything! My ability to focus, my motivation to do anything, my relationship, my sleep habits, everything. I'm just moody and irritated and "salty" (that's a direct quote) and i hate it but i don't know what to do about it because i don't think there's anything i CAN do about it. And when other people are moody towards me i just get irritated and un
pleasent and have lost all sense of understanding or empathy. And it's seriously just.. getting to me because i don't know what i want anymore and i'm scared i'll fuck up because i'm not myself.
Going home for fall break helped, but i didn't get as much done and def didn't get the amount of sleep that i needed. For the one time in my life i DIDN'T want to go back to school. And it's not even homesickness it's the desperate need for some sort of break.
i'm just doubting everything that i do/have done. i feel like school is a giant duck that's slowly pecking away at me, and i have a stick to like beat it off but my efforts are futile because it's still getting some good pecks in. I am slowly being pecked to death by VCU.

Black Men. White Women.
People have been bugging me to write this post for awhile now. i feel like this question is getting asked a lot all of a sudden: Why do white women love black men? And who better to ask than the white girl dating the black guy.
Let me start off by saying that there are plenty of white women who DON'T find black men attractive; i have several friends who just.. don't. And they always say "no offense but i don't find black guys attractive". Like i'm gonna be offended? Everyone has their own taste; i don't find asians to be attractive. Not everyone likes the same flavor. There are also plenty of white women who find black men attractive, yet just don't/haven't dated one. For WHATEVER reason; scared what their parents might think, "social pressures", or maybe they just haven't found one they wanted to date. Point is you can't just assume every white girl just loves black men.
However, there are quite a few of us.
So the question is WHY? What is so special, so different about them? Inquiring minds want to know, and the white dudes are trying to figure out where their women are going.
For me, personally, it's a little bit different. i fell in love with my boyfriend, and he just HAPPENED to be Nigerian. I don't have a fetish for black guys (at least not yet), i find white men attractive still. Don't worry guys, you're not out! But being in both an interracial
relationship, and a same race relationship has made me realize some differences. Yea there are plenty of cases where the race is just a coincidence; but i gotta admit there's something about being with a black guy that is uniquely different.So what? What is it? What is the secret?
- White guys have this....arrogance about them. I'm not saying all white guys are arrogant, or that black guys are NEVER arrogant (because that is false) however, there is this sense of entitlement in white guys. They have never been oppressed in any sort of way; look back through history: who was allowed to do EVERYTHING? White males. It's as if they're deserving of everything, and if they don't get what they want, than its been taken away from them. Like a girl is something to be owned and then stolen? I think not. Black guys have a different attitude, like there is a REASON they are with this girl, not just because they CAN be and are deserving to be.
- Black guys have a sense of pride about their women. Like "yea look at my baby! That's MY girl" and white guys are just kinda like "Yea she's hot. Honey can you pick up my dry cleaning?" Every girl likes to feel special! You wanna be with someone who is proud of you, and makes you feel good. White guys have no pride for who they're with.
- Their skin is like... smooth, soft, silky velvet. You just wanna touch it. And keep touching it. Sorry white boys, ya'lls skin ain't no where near like that. It's not your fault though.
- There's something liberating about being with a black man. Like you can just be wild and free and they're not gonna judge you for it. As someone else put it, "how many white men can treat a woman like a lady and ravish her too?"
- They know who they are. They respect themselves, they know they're men, they know their style, and they're CONFIDENT about it.
- Sorry but, their dicks are just bigger. With a white guy, you never know what you're gonna get. With a black guy, you know you're not gonna be dissapointed.
- They often have a greater sense of culture. They know where they came from, and are proud of it. And they're also interested in your culture, and where you came from, and respect you for it. There's a mutual sort of respect, that you don't get from a lot of white guys.
- If they're dating a white girl, you know they're brave. They take just as much heat from their friends and families as we do for being in an interracial relationship. White men think they're stealing their women, and black women resent them because now they can't have them. They're willing to take a risk.
- They just know how to make a woman feel sexy.
- There's something dangerous about being with a black man. The stigmas of society, the prejudice that still exists. Even though everyone likes to pretend that racism is essentially gone, we'd be kidding ourselves if we believed that to be true. Being in an interracial relationship is still relatively taboo, plus there's the added racial sterotype about black men. Not gonna lie, you feel kinda like a badass walking down the streets holding hands with a black guy.
- One word: BRO. i hate bros. there are too many of them. i don't like thugs either. i guess that's irrelevant then....
- They know how to cook. Their mama taught them well.
I feel like this list is... super prejudice or something. This is not a "bash white guys" post, just an answer to a question that was posed to me. I feel like this list isn't complete either. If you ask any white girl
who has been in an interracial relationship, they'll probably give you a different set of reasons. And this list is of course, not every case. Just stuff i've noticed about general populations. If you have something to add feel free to comment.This wasn't meant to be a "black guys are better" kind of thing either. Because i don't think any race is better than the other really, its just a matter of personal taste, not unlike ice cream flavors.
So why do white women love black men? i think the real question should be why black men love white women! SOMEONE should answer this question in depth for me, because i am ever so curious.
i guess the real answer is like the applejacks commercial: because we just do!!
