You know something? I haven't got much to my...
I’m doing things I said I wouldn’t, and forgetting to do the stuff I said I would. At least I’ve kept my promise of going to the library… even if I have been browsing the web for a majority of the time. I got my Spanish out of the way.
I still need to e-mail the professor. He said to write him after Friday’s class, but I’m still not sure of what to write....

You know something? It wasn't all of that.
The movie School Daze didn’t come with some huge pulling back of the curtain. It didn’t give me any new ideas on any beliefs I held prior to watching it.
And, if I thought that the movie actually had given me a glimpse of what it’s like to be at a HBCU or part of a Black Greek Lettered Organizations, I would feel like an idiot. I have no clue what it’s like to be fully...

You know something? We do need to wake up.
After watching School Daze, I find myself somewhat torn in most aspects of the movie. Political consciousness, Greek life, and colorism are all different aspects of my college life today. Granted, I chose not to attend a historically black college or university, we face many of the same issues.
Political consciousness and Greek life are two topics I choose not to speak on for varying...

Him: welcome

Him: i hope so

You know something? Black History Month is coming...
But, that likely won’t be the reason.
I’m currently enrolled in an African-American studies class, 20th Century African-American Literature: Realism to Contemporary Lit. The class is a “study of literature in the African American tradition, focusing on the realist, naturalist and modernist writings of the 1940s and 1960s, the prose, poetry, essays and speeches of the Black Arts...

You know something?
I’m drunk, extremely.
I burned my nail polish off while trying to smoke,
My eyes are half open.
Also, spell check( or whatever the fuck is on Chrome) is my best friend right now.
I re-painted my nail, still drunk, and used my Quick-e drops… they helped.
Oh, and I left a voice mail.
I’m going to bed and hoping I wake up around 11 am, sober.
It’s the first weekend...

You know something? I'm back at school.
I moved back in yesterday morning, and I feel like I’ve been sorta really busy ever since. I mean, moving in took a while and then I napped, but still…
I can’t even catch up on my entire dash. I just don’t have the time or patience, especially when I feel like everyone is saying the same thing. I went in about fifty pages, but then I gave up. And, fifty pages is a hell of...

My mother and I should have made our way out of the house by now, but she wasn’t leaving until she had breakfast.
I hate starting errands late,and she knows this.
Whenever we leave the house in the late afternoon and end up doing a ton of shopping and errand running, I get really tired. It’s this mental exhaustion that takes over my face and I start looking like death.
My mom hates...

You know something? I have a shitty tattoo.
Still, I’d take my tattoo over anyone else’s shitty tattoo any day.
It’s only shitty because I asked for a butterfly that turned out to be a bow… it’s still really cute.
My friends, well, their shitty tattoos are really shitty. I mean, they’ve got crappy Precious Moments, horrid birds, and crooked bar scans.
The placement is off, the dye is running, the...

You know something? That 4Loko wasn't a good idea.
My Blackberry’s vibration has never been so loud, or urgent/
I am slow as hell.
Moving slow as all fuck.
Vision is blurred.
Speech isn’t slurred.
But, my speech has been extremely hyped.
I’ve lost my center… bumping into things.
Also, my typing has gone to shit (this post takes more effort than it should).
I’m going to go see if my mother knows something is...

I’ve been drinking 4Loko from a McDonald’s Sweet Tea cup… since about four something.
I’m just sitting here, Tumbling and drinking.
No buzz, I think… but, I have been doing a lot of posting…
Maybe 4Loko is my new thing.
And yes, they still sell them here.
I just told my sister it might be part of a conspiracy to kill off inner-city youth, but that might...

You know something? I'm pigeon-toed.
I was born with pigeon toe and knee hyperextension. I wore corrective shoes for the first two years or so of my life and my mother placed me in dancing classes. Ballet, jazz, tap, modern, and African… she was determined to fix my legs. I can help the pigeon toe mostly, unless I’m wearing a heel (walking down the aisle in my mother’s wedding was hell in those five inches) or...

You know something? I'm not into shoes.
Well, I’m not that into shoes.
I love to adore them, but not on my feet. I don’t really go shoe shopping. I never find shoes that I want, and I refuse to buy heels that will sit in my closet for years. I’d rather spend that money at Sephora, Ulta, or The Body Shop. There’s hardly an occasion to wear high heels, and I’d hardly ever wear them to the events that do....

You know something? Most of my friends are birds.
Yep… birds of all kinds.
There’s the greek groupie, the sports groupie, the homewrecker, that friend everyone calls a hoe but I refuse to admit it (she is, but whatever), the cyber freak…
I know I’m missing a few more.

You know something? I like themed blogs.
I just really like when a blog has theme or something to make it cohesive. I’m trying out this ‘You know something?’ to see how it works. Also, it makes it easier to post, especially when I’m not really sure what I want to post…
So, yeah… now you know.

I've been running a health and beauty experiment.
I switched my face washes and moisturizers out for the pore perfecting line from Clean and Clear. That stuff really works, even though it seems to be the same as their other face washes. It definitely works on blackheads.
I’ve also stopped picking at my face. I picked up a Clearasil spot treatment gel pen, which totally looks like a lipgloss. It works, too.
Oh, and I’m drowning in...

My brother found a mouse on a glue trap. It was tiny, and squealing for help for a good few minutes. At least it hadn’t made any real efforts to escape the trap.
I don’t want to find any. I hope my mother switches to more humane traps, even if it is the killer clamps. I just don’t want to have to rescue a mouse that has ripped half its tail off the trap and is currently gnawing...

stella-darling replied to your post:Yeah, ok… thanks for the help, because the box didn’t come with a warning from the surgeon general.
I swear to God, the trolls all come out of the woodwork when someone mentions partaking in an activity that is in any way “unhealthy.”

I already smoke marijuana and drink alcohol.
I’m not 35. I’m not pregnant. And I don’t plan on buying another box.
But, I’m damn sure getting my money’s worth out of what I bought, even if I smoke one a month.
Oh, and those facts? I don’t really care. That was a really cool game, though.
The facts are clear. What makes you think I didn’t know already?

I bought my first pack of smokes, a box of Marlboro menthol lights.
I smoked two three of them today, and gave away one. Three a day is kinda intense, but that’s how many I smoked the first time I tried them. My friend and I smoked a box over one weekend… We were drawn in by the light-headed feeling it left. I smoked a cigarette while I waited for the bus.
I’m almost certain...
