You

I am so happy............

Colts are #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUCK IT, JETS!!!

PINK!

I have always wanted to put pink highlights in my hair.
But I've always had a job where I couldn't or was just too scared.....
Not anymore!
This year is about being fearless and doing what the hell I want!
So, today, my fav redhead turned me into a 17 yr old again.

Step 1: Bleach me up!

Step 2: Pink all over me.

The Final Product! (I'm totally sexy in this pic.)

It is kind of hard to see in this pic but the blonde and the pink highlights blend nicely with my "natural" color.

We are going to re-pink it this Saturday to make the pink pop a bit more- I picked a lighter shade of pink thinking I was saving myself from going stripper pink- but alas- I need stripper pink to get the pink I want.

The point is- I DID IT!

I'm freakin' out!

I love, love, love school.

I love getting my papers organized in new folders, color co-ordinated, getting pens, pencils, and stuff together.

School started on 01/14........

Fundamentals of Communication (Damn those new gen-ed requirements. My teacher is a TOTAL bad word-first words out of her mouth were "i usually teach k-12 but i've discovered college students are a lot like 5 year olds" ugh. disgruntled face.)

Astronomy (my prof has 4 undergrad degrees and 2 grad degrees- he started working for NASA at 19- and he LOVES Harry Potter- how awesome is that?!?)

Fundamentals of Government (gotta get rid of a bad grade from eons ago- prof seems cool, tough but in a good way)

Tennessee History (teacher is SUPER nice, will make this seemingly ultra boring class ok)

Social Problems (love the prof.- class is discussion based-woohoo!)

Astronomy Lab (will meet on 01-22)

I've been in school for 2 days, spent roughly $260.00 on books, untold $$ on shiny new folders, pens, pencils, and a 3-hole punch I just had to have and a new backpack. I am ready to kick these classes ass!

Until I got home and realized how much reading was to be done. Then panic set in. Funny how panic doesn't take long to surface. WTF have I done?

Oh, god.

But luckily between a discussion with Dwayne ( "you don't have to do everything on your syllabus RIGHT NOW") and some texting with a strangelilman- I started to breathe again and realized that I can do this.....I just have to remember to take it a day at a time.

I had my follow up with the dentist and everything looks wonderful. As for the extended healing time I'm having...his only advice was for me to be patient (bottom teeth were extra deep, trauma to your body, etc, etc.) RIGHT. I am trying to take over the world here, doc!

My plan for tomorrow is to read. Read and make outlines..... Read, make outlines, take quizzes.... Read, make outlines, take quizzes, and not panic!

ughhhhhhhh.....

Recovery day 4: My bruises are horrible looking. My face is still swollen. Dwayne was told that since my bottom teeth were "deeper" (is that ever a good thing?) than expected my recovery time would take a couple more days. How in the hell did I ever get convinced that I should do this?

Some other things:

getting pink highlights this weekend (hopefully- if i don't die from pain first)
jimmy fallon is growing on me
i really,really, really want a cheeseburger right now
school starts Thursday

off to slip into a drug induced sleep for a little bit..........

Chipmunk cheeks and tossing my cookies.

I had my wisdom teeth (all 4, impacted) removed Jan. 8, 2010.
Check me out in all my glory below.

This was the 3rd and 4th (the successful one) of getting my drip to start.

This is a picture of attempts 1 and 2 at getting a vein to get me into lala land.

Bloody gauze tastes icky.

Okay, I'm off to eat yogurt and take a nap.

Hats!

So today I went and had coffee with a pal from school.
Venti Cafe Mocha (no whip), egg white muffin, and comfy chairs- it was nice.
Then we went to the mall and looked around...ventured into Hot Topic and discovered some cool hats/hair accessories.

See the awesomeness below!

Is it just me or do I look super creepy in this pic?

I really love this one. Too bad it was $19-freakin'-99!

2010 Anthem

This might not be the typical song you'd think I'd like...but it just blows me away. It is so inspiring in a swagger/rap kind of way. You have to HEAR it but I'll post the lyrics below. (My fav parts are highlighted.)

Artist: Jay-Z feat Swizz Beats
Album: The Blueprint 3 (2009)
Song: On To The Next One

(Swizz Beats -Chorus)

I got a million ways to get itChoose one (choose one)

Hey, bring it back (bring it back)

Now double your money and make a stack
I’m on to the next one

On to the next one

On to the next one

On to the next one

On to the next one

On to the next one

On to the next one
Hold up, freeze
Somebody bring me back some money please

(Jay-Z)

Hov on that new shit

n-ggas like how come

N-ggas want my old sh-t,

buy my old album

N-ggas stuck on stupid,

I gotta keep it moving

N-ggas make the same sh-t,

me I make the blueprint
Came in Range, hopped out the Lexus

every year since i’ve bin on that next sh-t

traded in the gold for the platinum rolex’s

Now a n-gga wrist match the status of my records
Used to rock a throwback,

ballin on the corner

Now I rock a teller suit

looking like a owner

No im not a Jonus brother

I’m a grown up

No I’m not a virgin

I use my cahonas
I move forward the only direction

cant be scared to fail

Search and perfection

Gotta keep it fresh even when we sexing

but don’t be mad at him when he’s on to the next one
Freeze

(Chorus)

F-ck a throwback jersey

cos we on to the next one,

and f-ck that autotune

cos we oohhhhn,

and n-ggas don’t be mad cos it’s all about progression,

loiterers should be arrested,

I used to drink Kristal,

muthaf-ckers racist,

so I switched Gold Bottles on to that spade sh-t,

you gon have another drink or you just gon babysit,

on to the next one,

somebody call da waitress,

Baby i’m a boss,

i dunno what they do,

I don’t get dropped,

I dropped the label,

World can’t hold me,

too much ambition,

always knew it’d be like this when I was in the kitchen,

n-ggas in the same spots,

me I’m dodging rain drops,meaning i’m on vacay,

chillin on a big yacht,

yeah i go ton flip flops,white louie boat shoes,

you should grow the f-ck up,

come here let me coach you,

Hold up,

[Chorus]

Uh, Big pimpin in the house now,

bought the land, tore the muthaf-cking house down,

bought the car, tore the muthaf-cking roof off,

ride clean, i don’t ever take the shoes off,

bought the jeep, tore the muthaf-cking doors off,

foot out dat b-tch about to sh-t like a skateboard,

navigation on tryin to find my next thrill,

feelin myself i don’t even need an x pill,

can’t chill but my neck will,

haters really gon be mad off my next deal,

uh, i dont know hwy they really worry bout my pockets,

meanwhile i had Oprah chillin in the projects,

had her out in Bed Stuy chillin on the steps,

drinking quarter waters gotta be the best,

MJ at summerjam,

Obama on the text,

y’all should be afraid of what I’m gonna do next.

Hold up,

[Chorus]
