Nothing.
It is ridiculous how much I have not blogged this week.  I feel like nothing funny has happened (which is generally what gives me the urge to write things here). The bird has left me alone. Work has been busy and full of tension for reasons I’m not entirely privvy to. I can’t even remember the happengings of this week, really. Where have I been? I must admit, I’ve wanted...

National Pancake Day (Brandi)
Today is National Pancake Day. Nearly every single day for the past month or more, I have brought in a package (3) of microwavable pancakes to work. I even keep my syrup here. Today, I forgot them. How could this happen to me? I suck. Btw, my brain is severely infected with thoughts of Brandi Carlile. (Possibly the reason for the pancake mishap?) I can think of nothing, without Brandi somehow...

“You have serious issues when it comes to your lunchtime decisions.”
– My coworker said this to me today after I gave her the crinkled, tough decision making face in response to her asking if I wanted Zaxby’s. She knows I budget when it comes to lunch - ideally, I bring my lunch everyday, and it saves me a ton of money. A couple of times a week, she tries to talk...

This is how I spent my Friday night - skating with my two youngest sisters, Lindsey (11) and Sidney (8). Laugh with me at the children who fall, especially Sidney…she took a nasty, nasty spill.

I’m putting this here because Facebook was a douche and removed it. I did not intentionally infringe upon the copyrights. All the credit goes to MJ for this sweet song and his sweet moves. I must say, though, that I am at least owed a little credit for the editing (that wasn’t easy, ya know?) and to Andrew for the recording.

I have a roadway theory
that everyone should abide by. When the light turns green, let off your brakes. Everyone. Simultaneously. We will all continue on our merry way in unison…as one….or there’s the other option - waiting til the person in front of you lets off of his/her brakes to do the same. I am officially a genius, and I know there is one other person in this world who shares my brilliance. I saw...

“I stand in awe of my body, this matter to which I am bound has become so strange...”
– Henry David Thoreau via Into the Wild authored by Jon Krakauer DUDE, other people get weirded out by their bodies, too?? I seriously thought I was the only one! Sometimes, I just look down at my arms and say to myself “What the hell are these things hanging from me?” How strange. Matter...

Sven = Seven
I don’t usually blog unless I have something fairly interesting to say (or at least in my opinion). This blog post will be an exception. I just kinda feel like hanging out with Tumblr for a few minutes, since I don’t really feel like hanging out with anyone else. I’ve earned a few new nicknames lately, but I can only remember two at the moment: Princess and Skippy. The first...

I am no longer a black girl.
 I used to be a black girl. Well, sort of. In middle school, my friends only called me Lil D. I wrote raps and performed them (which I still have and read to myself every now and then). I had a sort of “gang-ish” clique type group, complete with a name and hand signs, which is the only thing that even resembled gang-like behavior. I practiced my Usher/Michael Jackson/Bootylicious dancing in the...
