Ciao, 2011.
If you’ve read my blog, I don’t have to repeat it. 2011 has been a hell of a year for the best and worst reasons.
I’m glad that when the clock strikes 12, I’ll be with my best friend—someone who has been there for me not only at my darkest moments this past year (I know you love my midday breakdowns while you’re at work), but at so many of my moments over the...
I was at a bridal shower tonight and it kind of hit me…
one day i do wanna get married.
Probably not until I’m 30+, but I do. I sometimes like to think I’m too cool for marriage or I wonder why can’t two people just be together? (which i do believe is totally fine). But, I think, for me, I want to build something with someone. Have a home. MAYBE a family but that may just...
Resolution: 2012
I usually don’t make resolutions. I find them pretty silly and useless because by January 10, you’ve stopped doing whatever you said you were going to do. But, I’m going against my usual values and making a resolution this year.
Live the life I am meant to live.
Simple. Encompasses everything from cooking more to paying off my credit card bills to taking up Zumba to...
i miss
my apartment
my cat
sleeping in underwear and a t-shirt instead of layers of sweatpants (thanks parents for never turning the heat on)
eating the snacks i like (they don’t have snacks in this house!)
home will always be home. but i like my little life away from it more than i thought.
you know you're getting old
when you look at interior design sites more than you look for clothes.
i like clothes. love them. but, i’ve resigned myself to the fact that i will always have something decent on my back without paying gazillions for it. now, i’m focused on enhancing my living space, especially when i move to texas. you put clothes on and you take em off hours later. but where you put your head at...
Tumblr's new competition: pinterest.

Alone

faelove:
I wish that I lived alone. I would take comfort in knowing that a space was mine and mine alone. I could do exactly what I pleased with it. Invite who I wanted to come in and make who I didn’t want there leave. I just want my own space where I can be alone with my thoughts or I can be surrounded by the noise created by those I love. I would also like to be able to...
Merry Christmas
from my niece’s new samsung tablet.
Wonder if she would notice if this joint was just gone…
even though he got on my damn nerves a few months ago, i credit him with being the first person to show me how powerful sex is when you combine really liking someone with, well, just plain old good sex. it’s not just the act. it’s the kissing, the subtle touching, the terms of endearment, the conversations before and after. after that, i know it’ll be worth waiting for the right...
hello 10 days of sleep, family and friends.
yesssss.
2012 isn't going to change anything if you don't...

i’m over sex just for the sake of having sex.
“When something happens in life, you have 3 choices: let it define you, destroy...”
i love when i meet couples who just click. the kind who just effortlessly play off of one another. of course, you never know everything that goes on in a relationship but i have so much respect for a couple that can go out in a group and still be close but not cling to each other for dear life.
things tyece hopes for one day.

I used to dismiss people who said, “I’m not ready for a relationship.” But, really, some people misuse that statement because they would rather fuck without exclusivity or shield themselves from the risk of getting hurt. However, I can honestly say (even though a few weeks ago I blogged abt missing relationships) that right now, I’m not ready for one. I have been working so...
Done Christmas shopping...looked at my bank...
pretty much.

Confession: I originally learned how to cook because I wanted to impress a boy.
During winter break of my junior year, I had my mom show me how to make spaghetti so that when I visited my (then) boyfriend a few weeks later, I could wow him with my culinary skills. (I now know a blind monkey could cook spaghetti but I digress.)
But, now, years removed from that relationship and on my own,...

Life chats w/ Barb
It only seems appropriate to talk to your waxer about your sex/love life. I mean, that person is taking a pretty intimate look at your na na.
Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Barb who’s been waxing for 34 years. Midway, she asked me if I was seeing anyone in Boston. “No, I was seeing someone for a minute but he couldn’t let go of the ex,” I told her. Then proceeded to...

I can tell that you been cryin all night
Drinking all summer
Praying for your happiness
Hoping you recover…
My entire life, I've been called strong.
But, I don’t think in 22 years, I’ve ever been able to truly believe that until now.
You don’t know strength until yours has been tested to a point you’ve never expected.
And, gradually, I’m learning strength is not being emotionless or never crying or not “doing feelings.” In fact, strength is the total opposite. It’s recovery after you’ve...

meet a cutie (but I can’t control dat.)
pet peeve #172
People who are elitist about their nationality.
Been there, dated that.
I think it’s totally fine and admirable if you’re proud of where you’re from. You should be. But, it doesn’t give you the right to feel that you’re above other people. I’m specifically talking about those blacks who are from a diff country and then think they’re above those of us...

My best friend was mocking me today because of how high-strung I was when we first met…and through high school. It’s true. I was always getting mad about something stupid like being left out of a weekend trip or her giving me a check instead of cash for something (still don’t understand why I was mad abt that.) Then, I said something that I didn’t even realize till I said...
Sign i'm getting old...
Now, when I think about nights out with my friends (Atlantic City tomorrow babay), I don’t think “I’m gonna be fucked up!” I’m just like I wanna get a little tipsy, enjoy myself, and not finish the night with the spins.
