Original. Done Up.

That's me in the lens (:

I want brown hair again.

Quickly.

I've quickly learned how to end a conversation. One that was going somewhere it definitely didn't need to go. The ones that start with, "how are you and HIM doing ?" Don't even ask how I am doing, just jump all into my business. I've quickly learned how to differ my procrastination. Turned it into patience, doing something productive. Something like sleep, I don't ever get enough of that. I've quickly learned turn to calm down. Well not all the way, I'm still high strung without any relaxation. I've quickly learned to give up. On simple things of course, and focus on the bigger things. Like move on type thing.

LEFT MY CAMERA AT SCHOOL -_-

I WAS ALL EXCITED TO POST PICTURES 'CAUSE I HAVEN'T USED

MY CAMERA IN FOREVER...

>:0, THIS FACE, BUT MUCH MEANER, 'TIL I GET OVER MYSELF.

Good music makes my heart hurt. It tugs at my inner being and makes me close my eyes. Lauryn Hill makes me want to cry, for real. Her vocals, her guitar solos, and her stories. I really can't take it sometimes. If D' Angelo had another album produced, I'd purchase it and make myself sick of it. The organ in 'Brown Sugar', the solid beat of 'Lady', and harmony of 'How Does It Feel', make me want to be a musician of some kind. For some reason Amy Winehouse's range not only amazes me but excites me. Her sound is almost New Orleans Jazz era with the far from subtle hint of R&B. The purest voice I've ever heard is that of Amel Larrieux. The pitch is perfect, never screaming or moaning. The melody she creates from falsetto to alto kills me on every song.

Anthony Hamilton, Jamie Foxx, Maxwell, Eric Benet, Erykah Badu, Aaliyah, Corinne Bailey Rae, Luther Vandross, Musiq Teena Marie and John Legend all do the same thing to me. Notice the lack of females on this list. Most female vocalists don't know what to do with voices and ruin music. I will not discredit the originators such as Billie Holiday, Etta James, and Minnie Ripperton for they will always make my heart flutter. Trust I did not name all my favorites, I have way too many.

R&B music, real R&B music creates some kind of hypnosis on my mind ha and "takes me away." Soul and Blues do the same.

k, i'm done for now.

They knew, my life in a nut shell. You know, if I don't something about it ha. Like go to college or something.

beautiful.

Gooogle starts my day (:

My little cousin/sister, don't know what to call her anymore, told me about this yesterday. I don't know how old it is or how late I am, but I died. She's 6 and knows too much lol.

Its 2:06am and I'm stuck on the 405. Just sitting here. Apparently there's an accident up at Ventura and isn't projected to be cleared up til 2:26am -_-. Got Saida's sidekick plugged up for music, yeeea imagine my face. All I want right now is a 87 cent ice cream come from McDonalds, but no, I get to sit here. I want to eat that ice cream cone & go to sleep. But no, its currently 2:09 and I can't go anywhere. Not to mention my car stinks ridiculously cause of rena's "issues" last night (meaning, october 31st, last night) -_- kinda tragic that I'm posting a blog at this horrific moment in someones life, mm imagine my face. The police piss me off more than anything. They roll pass in the shoulders on the loudspeaker talking about, "stay in your vehicles, stay calm". IMAGINE MY FACE ! Why in the hell would I be getting out right now ? Its probably 4degrees Celsius out at 2:12 am and they wna demand I stay in my car. Thank you Law Inforcement, you've bettered my night. Let me take that back, you little mexican kids to the left of me running around the minivan, you've made it all the better.

<3

Majors.

Visited LMU's campus this weekend and I'm too in love. I'm so excited to learn it's almost ridiculous. No matter what I study it will be under the Liberal Arts studies and there are so many to choose from !! Philosophy, English, History, African- American Studies, Women Studies and Political Science. There are many more but those are the ones I'm very interested in. If I don't get into LMU I will be majoring in one or two of these courses at another school.

With that said, I'm moving on... This weekend was really chill. My plans always get ruined one way or another and don't get refurbished. But for some reason they were this weekend. Friday was annoying, inconsiderate people irk everything in me. Saw a lot of people I haven't seen or talked to in forever so that was cool. Saturday was pointless, sat at tournament I barely played in. Then was barricaded in my house for about 45 minutes making me late extra late to my cousin's birthday thing -_-. The night was nice, I don't think I like spending time w/ anyone else as much as I do him. Sunday, was worth it. Got up bright and early to go to LMU although I thought I was going to be extremely late. Like I said everything worked out just fine and I am now enduring day one of this week. I heard there is like 135 days left of school, praise the Lord.

I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved. — Shana Ab

"Love isn't real. Only a desperate fear of someone leaving that people think is love. It's a beautious realization though. Boys don't really care if they lose you. You just become a hoe and they're over it. Makes me laugh at people who love, too. Like, 'Ha! You're scared.'"- Jacks.

I don't know who Jacks is but Precious (xpreciousarianna.blogspot.com) posted it first. Something went ding- ding in my head when I read it ha.

...I wanna love w/ an open heart. Here when I'm all alone, I can turn my head off. Without you I'm just me. Don't fool yourself, I'm probably the most boring person you'll ever meet. See you when you get here...

Things I thought were cool/ cool things that made me think.
