how about a quickie?

been avoiding blogging for the past few weeks...

mainly because angelica's mom passed away about 3 1/2 weeks ago and i wasn't sure if i wanted to talk about it on here or if i even should. even as i write this i keep deleting and rewriting...not sure exactly what to say...out of respect to angelica and her mom i won't go into any details...my heart still goes out to her...

school has been stressful as fuck. french is killing me...took the first quiz last week..i'll just say that i didn't fail, but i didn't exactly get a C...lol. i know i should care more...buuut....yea. getting through modern art without stabbing myself in the neck is getting harder and harder. on the upside i am LOVING my harlem renaissance class, i have to give my professor props, she's doing a great job...i was skeptical at first since she's white, but she's definitely on top of her game. almost done with my first 3D art project...it turned out soo good considering it was the project from hell and the number one stresser...on my second trip to michaels on saturday i ran over a turtle....was totally traumatized. as soon as i'm completely done i'll post pictures.

new celebrity crush: donald glover

he plays troy on community, used to write for 30 rock (!!!!!!), and a part of derrick comedy. ALSO he's a rapper and goes by the stage name childish gambino. he's pretty awesome. i have to admit, it took a little while for community to grow on me, but as a whole the show is pretty clever and really funny. anyways he's pretty cool..love his music and i've always liked derrick comedy.

guess that's all for now..

stupid school

school is dumb.

i can't wait to graduate.

somehow i ended up not getting called on at all today in french class, but then i failed the first quiz. that's what happens in sydney's world, which btw is ruled by karma. *sigh* oh well. thank gooseness it's friday. unfortunately i have no extra spending $$ for booze....uggggh!

i really should stop complaining. maybe i'll get started on my grad school shit again. this morning i decided that even though i want to take a break before grad school, i'm still gonna apply to bard college. if i don't get in for next fall then i'll still go on break. if i do...then yay! so that's my mission.

i miss my puppydog Ginger...i would call home to talk to her (yes i have my parents hold the phone to her ear while i say hi) buuut after the conversation i had with my mom yesterday, i think i'm gonna lay low for awhile..usually that works.

as of now my booskie requirements are as follows: must make me laugh, won't judge me for being messy & eating in bed, and will give me lots of hugs & kisses. now i do have standards but at this point, this is what i want.

last thing: this morning pandora introduced me to lissy trullie....soo good!! florence + the machine pandora station was such a good idea!

ok i'm done rambling...really i'm missing the major fight going on on the bad girls club lol.

until next time!

i was only trying to get ahead

oh drake...i feel kind of bad, because i prefer boyfriend-like-singing drake much more than celebrity-rapper drake. idk...i like him as a rapper, i think he's really good, but his singing ismuch more appealing to me. i think it's also because it wasn't his mixtape that made me like him, but his interviews and all that jazz instead. regardless, i really like his album (probably mostlybecause he's singing on it) i still can't believe it's jimmy from degrassi!! yes i should bepast that by now, but it's so crazy to me

antyways, a few days ago i watched this really cool documentary on pbs about the paris opera ballet...*sigh* all my life i've wanted to be a ballerina..clearly that didn't happen..but it was so cool to see the dancers practice, especially without any music. there were many times where the instructor would have them do whatever piece they were rehearsing and at the end give comments on certain parts and the dancers could start from any part of the dance and go through it. one couple did their routine 4 times in a row without stopping!! i have so much respect for dancers.

so proud of myself, i asked for a second day to volunteer at the nerman museum, and now i'm going to get to assist with the children's classes. i had so much fun doing that yesterday, especially helping on the tour. what the kids had to say about the artwork was so fun to listen to. it's the closest thing to teaching i could actually handle doing. i also talked to the director of the gallery at the bruce r. watkins cultural center and i'll be starting there soon, giving tours and gallery sitting and such. super super excited for that!!

i also have been doing a lot of thinking about grad school and now i think i'm back to going ahead and putting it for a year to get more experience...idk. it's still up in the air..it's not like i've applied yet.

idk what else to talk about...my secret mission plans are falling into place, which is nice. (i don't want to talk too much about it so i don't jinx myself)

trying to go back to doing the whole more pictures thing...i tried with this post even though none of the pictures are mine..womp womp.

but i swear the wedding pictures are coming up soon...i'm so lazy. i put them up on fb earlier this week and lord knows it's harder there than it is on blogger..oh well.

oh you know

i love the feeling of freshly shaved legs in between bedsheets...they feel so cool (the temperature) my legs are so smooooth. shaving in the bathtub is so so much easy than in the shower

started hanging out with old high school friends katie and julie again...fun times have definitely been had

also, my cousin jessica's wedding was yesterday..pictures to come soon

every now and then i tell myself that one day i'm going to randomly tell p that i still love him or whatever it is i feel for him just to screw with his head, BUT then i realized it would most likely backfire in my face. womp womp. whatever.

a couple of days ago my dad and i went to the WW1 museum/memorial here in kc (which btw is one of only a few WW1 museums in the country!) it was sooo cool all the things the artifacts they had: uniforms, canons, guns, personal objects, posters, cars, all that stuff...FROM WW1!!! it amazed me how good condition everything was in. the museum was well layed out just enough textual information, but not too much to put me to sleep..just the way i like it. overall it was really good, and i had a fun time with my dad...i'm glad he's into history and stuff like i am.

this guy right here:

mr. theophilus london

he's a pretty awesome guy, i can't turn his mixtape off!! he's soo good! every song sounds different...literally. one song is straight hip hop, then he goes to funk to techno to punk rock. i love it.

check him out:

can't think of anything else to say...back to this awesome episode of poirot!

"like a discotheque?"

sooo I think I'll start with the obvious..RIP MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!!! the shock has subsided...but still surprised. i was in the car with my bestie and we gotten text messages about it within 30 seconds of each other...we yelled for a few minutes. Can't believe it...no I'll admit he was a bit strange, but he made some damn good music, his dancing was CRA-AAAZZY and was an amazing singer. so I thought I'd share my 2 favorite MJ songs (they're in no particular order, I just couldn't pick an all time favorite..enjoy!








i forgot about this one until it popped up on the "related videos" thing on yoube..another fave!


I was so sad today because I finished my package of Twizzlers' Cherry Pull-n-Peel..so good...speaking of candy today during my break in my art history class I went to buy some peanut m&ms from the vending machine..i had a total of 85cents in my wallet and candy is a $1..whhhy!!! that is too much for vending machine candy. I remember in high school when they raised the price of vending machine candy from 60 cents to 75! 15cents makes a big difference when your in high school and you have no job...oh well..

lately i've been finding myself making random refrences to 30 Rock and The Office (2 of my favorite shows) i always laugh at myself then i think how sad it is..it's been on a an almost daily thing now...I don't know where Tina Fey drew the Liz Lemon character from, but she is genius! Sometimes i feel I have liz lemon tendencies...but liz lemon is cool so it's ok.
found out today that it's probably a good idea to change cloth band-aids after a day..or they start to smell like feet.. learned that the hard way.

I am currently addicted to this website, it's hilarious!!! (ok most of the time...i'd say the texts could be broken down like this: 60% hilarious, 50% gross, and 10% random or stupid ) jeez it's hard to type with a band-aid on the top part of your finger...mb I shouldn't have covered my knuckle..oh well.

what I can't live without

So I visited one of my really good friends today and she had mentioned that she was working on her blog which reminded me I haven't written in awhile so here I am. I decided to write about one of the things I can't live without...especially now. And that is music, especially the music of Death Cab For Cutie. I would have to say they are my all time favorite band. Although I'll admit that I didn't hear of them until my senior year of high school (?) but it was love at first sound? Well not real love of course, but that attachment you get to a band after hearing one song...you're hooked. Well that's how it is with me and Death Cab. I'm not sure what it is about their music, but I definitely have no problem keeping them on repeat. My best friend and I saw them in concert last summer (it was my first time) and I was blown away. They were amazing!!! definitely the best concert I've ever been to. I'm sure my friends are probably sick of me talking about them. oh well!!
