OMG yesssssssssssssssssss!!!!
Ok sooooooo ladies, have you ever:
-Been walking down the street by yourself, seen a group a dudes up ahead and just crossed the street cuz u knew if you walked thru them at least one of them was gonna have something to say?
-Or you've seen the dudes, crossed the street...and they still yelled out comments at you from across the street
-Or have you manned up, walked thru them...and kept you head dwn and walked faster and just hoped tht you went by unnoticed...but you never do?
-Or walked dwn the street with your homegirls, had a dude try to holla, and when you turn him down....he then call after you "That's ok! I will still squeeze those buttchecks tho!!!"?
-Or had a dude call you ugly after he callled after you tryna get your number for the last 2 mins...and you just kept walking?
...yeah...those were all true stories that happened to me...and apparently i'm not alone...check the documentary I found on Mediatakeout.com...it's not long...I encourage you all male/female to watch the whole thing.

Sooner Or Later...
...it all comes crashing down...
Usually when I come home for breaks, I'm either not ready to come home...or once I get here I'm ready to leave in like 2 weeks. Well....this time is no different. It kinda is...but then again...nah.
So...when its come to my lil sis and myself, I've always felt like I was the one to get the sucky end of the stick when it comes to my parents. I just feel like all those years growing up under their roof...nd they NEVER got me. They NEVER took the time to understand me and mines. I was def reminded of this yesterday(Merry Christmas every1!!!! Hope you all got what you wanted!!!}...ever since I started college, I've decreased my Christmas list from 10 things to 1 or 2...because i understood that my parents {esp. for the 1st 2 yrs} were paying my education...a whooping $30,000 a year...not because they have to...but because they PROMISED me an education and by any means they were going to make sure I got one at the institution of my choice. So like I said...I understand that...ask for a couple things...and whatever else I want, I buy myself. So this year, I asked for 3 things... a digital camera{cuz my last one broke}, a Blackberry Curve {UPGRADE...we already have the plan...I just need the phone...to help keep my life in order}, and money...nd honestly, if I got the first 2...forget the money. So anyway...I get the digital camera...and I'm excited!!!! But then the rest of the stuff I got for Christmas...yeah.... Now don't get me wrong...i'm glad and thankful that somebody thought of me enough to buy me things that I didn't ask for...but to buy me things that I don't want/need at all???? Like...u just went to the store picked up sum random stuff and said "I'll toss this her way." You know that rule "If you dnt have anything nice to say...dnt say it at all"???? Where there should be a rule that says "If you don't have any idea of what to give...dnt give anything at all". cuz I'm fine with just my digital camera...that was all I was planning to get...and I wasn't even planning on gettin that till after Christmas so I was good. But now if I don't use what they got me or don't wear what they got me...I'm bein the "bitch".
I guess I'm just tired of bein in a house where I'm not allowed to speak my mind and be who I am...I always gotta watch what I say and do as I'm asked...nd the minute I voice how I really feel about something...I'm either bein told that I'm rude or they act like I'm such a burden. But my sis on the other hand...runs them like her slaves...nd plays them like lotto. She's 18, I'm 21 and they talk to me like I'm the younger one...nd I would get it if I acted like I was 18...but no..I'm the responible one, I'm the one more respectful of others time and money, and I'm considerate...I just don't get it! Nd it frustrates me cuz as much as I try to act like it doesn't bother me...sooner or later...u kno the rest.
Nd it's not like I really seriously wanna go back to school...I'm really enjoyin this break...nd bein with Dwayne almost everyday and hanging with friends...I just sometimes wish the family aspect didn't have to be so heavily involved.
I kno this probably sounds bad...but I cnt help how I feel...so hey...middle finger up...cuz I dnt care.
[[Post-Script]]: Clearly I just did some purging.
This Is Not A Test...
Ok so it is but it's not one of those "spam messages" you get...well maybe it is...Idk. Anyway...I saw this on sum1's blog and I took the test...the results...were on sum real shit. Lol. Take it yourself and see what it says about you.

What it said about me:
Idealist Portrait of the Counselor (INFJ)
Counselors have an exceptionally strong desire to contribute to the welfare of others, and find great personal fulfillment interacting with people, nurturing their personal development, guiding them to realize their human potential. Although they are happy working at jobs (such as writing) that require solitude and close attention, Counselors do quite well with individuals or groups of people, provided that the personal interactions are not superficial, and that they find some quiet, private time every now and then to recharge their batteries. Counselors are both kind and positive in their handling of others; they are great listeners and seem naturally interested in helping people with their personal problems. Not usually visible leaders, Counselors prefer to work intensely with those close to them, especially on a one-to-one basis, quietly exerting their influence behind the scenes.
Counselors are scarce, little more than one percent of the population, and can be hard to get to know, since they tend not to share their innermost thoughts or their powerful emotional reactions except with their loved ones. They are highly private people, with an unusually rich, complicated inner life. Friends or colleagues who have known them for years may find sides emerging which come as a surprise. Not that Counselors are flighty or scattered; they value their integrity a great deal, but they have mysterious, intricately woven personalities which sometimes puzzle even them.
Counselors tend to work effectively in organizations. They value staff harmony and make every effort to help an organization run smoothly and pleasantly. They understand and use human systems creatively, and are good at consulting and cooperating with others. As employees or employers, Counselors are concerned with people's feelings and are able to act as a barometer of the feelings within the organization.
Blessed with vivid imaginations, Counselors are often seen as the most poetical of all the types, and in fact they use a lot of poetic imagery in their everyday language. Their great talent for language-both written and spoken-is usually directed toward communicating with people in a personalized way. Counselors are highly intuitive and can recognize another's emotions or intentions - good or evil - even before that person is aware of them. Counselors themselves can seldom tell how they came to read others' feelings so keenly. This extreme sensitivity to others could very well be the basis of the Counselor's remarkable ability to experience a whole array of psychic phenomena.
Mohandas Gandhi, Sidney Poitier, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jane Goodall, Emily Bronte, Sir Alec Guiness, Carl Jung, Mary Baker Eddy, Queen Noor are examples of the Counselor Idealist (INFJ).
So take it and tell me what it says!!! Lol.
