My Thanksgiving in Pictures

So Cassandra invited me her house in New Orleans for Thanksgiving. It was fun, here are some pics!
Me and Cass (my hair is nuts, lol!)

Egyptian Train Boy

So I met this boy on the train going to New Orleans and I think I may have ended it by overtexting him. I texted him twice in our conversation after he stopped responding. So technically, that isn't overtexting. But I was recently informed that you only text after the guy texts you first, no initiating. Clearly, I am new to this.
Anywho, he approached me at the Amtrak station. Said he liked my eyes and I have hair like a queen. I know, I'm a sucker for BAD game, but he seemed nice. He gave me his number. He was in New Orleans at the same time as me. Asked where I was, I said The W, then he fell off the grid. So I texted him to see how his vaykay was, no response. I don't know what I did already, but I'm annoyed. He was cute! Oh well, on to the next disaster.

Nightmare

So last night I had a dream that my mom and her boyfriend Al were lying in bed in a colorful room and I brought them my new baby to see. Clarification: this was a dream baby not a real baby. Any way, I bring him in and Al picks the baby up by the neck and starts spinning him around! I start screaming while my mom laughs. I am not sure I want to know what this means, but I woke up pissed.

Hey God, What's Up?

I woke up this morning, rolled over, logged into Youtube, and listed to "I Need More" by Shakina Glory. I missed God. I have been missing God for a while. I kind of was hiding from him because I was embarrassed about Dreads. Today I decided not to let Dreads take God from me. I have felt like hella lonely because of it, and it has been two months now already. All and all, I didn't like the feeling of being Godless. Let this be my reminder that I need to behave.

I love her clothes and I love her hair, still unimpressed by J. Cole.

Me and PR

So last Thursday marked the event of my first PR Client that I put together. We had amazing sponsorships, and a lot of people came. I was so excited it all went well. Lauren said I pretty much don't believe and that it was going to go well all along. And it did. I am excited for me for pulling it off, excited for my client, and excited about the possibilites this opens for me:)

It's 2 in the Morning

It is 2am and I am on deadline, trying to work while my roommate LOUDLY has sex in her room. I am just praying that I get my stories done, and that God delivers me from the bull shit.

Fasting

I feel like my life has been going a mile a minute lately; like I don't have time for anything. I am hella tired. My eyes have just been rolling, lol. So I decided I would fast this weekend on liquids to just get everything out of my system and start over fresh. Too bad I woke up and had ice cream for breakfast:(

Texts Go Bye-Bye

The other night I was texting Lauren, and my phone alerted me I ran out of space. So, I went to erase one message and erased them all. I wasn't mad until I realized I also erased my texts from Dreads! I know, I know. I said I got rid of his number. And technically, I did. It was no longer saved in my phone. But it did show when I looked at the texts. DON'T JUDGE ME...I'm a girl.
Needless to say, I had a baby panic attack. I actually cried. So, with nothing else I could do, I went to sleep.
OK, so it has been like two months since my thing with Dreads, and I only knew him for like less than a week, but I liked him a lot. And after he ditched me, the only thing I had left of him was his texts. I didn't even know him long enough to get a phone pic! And in my defense, the texts were REALLY sweet, and they reminded me that, once upon a time, a guy like me. Even if maybe he didn't.
Sigh.
The point of the story- the texts are gone. His number is gone...for real this time. I literally have no choice but to move on.

Chinese!

I don't know if you know this about me, but I absolutely LOVE Chinese food! However, after a disgruntled worker set the Family Dollar on fire last year (I wish I was kidding) the Chinese food restaurant next to it closed down. Jade Garden was the Chinese food restaurant of my childhood. When it closed, I won't lie, I cried.
Now, my second favorite Chinese Food Restaurant, Hans 1, opened up a sister restaurant, Hans 2, in an old Church's Chicken Restaurant down the street. I was scared to go there this past year because I remember when that Church's was open, and it smelled like OLD GREASE!
But the other day, my tooth for Chinese was unbearable. So, I went to Hans 2 and had the best egg foo young EVER! I think I am way more excited about this than I should be. But hey, I'm a nerd.

They Sunday before last I went to church with my friend Leslie. She was my only friend pretty much when I was at U of M during Katrina for a semester. She now lives in Atlanta and we went out to the Cheesecake Bistro. Doesn't that cake look amazing!
