What's going on????

ok...look at the post below if you're from chicago or that area, well even if you're not........also WTF is wrong with blogger? people's blogs are disappearing and stuff....hopefully i'm not next....ok...i got home to Chicago on Thursday...my mama's b-day was Saturday....Sunday we didnt go to church....so me and her friend and her went to Bally's to go work out...after leaving Bally's i was hungry, so we stopped at Wendy's to get me, my brother, and stop father something to eat....then we stopped at the curency exchange to get quaters to wash clothes...iw as supposed to stay out witht hem because my mama was going to take her God daughter's older sister shopping...so they had to go back into the city on the westside...my mama lives in hillside...well ok...since there wasnt going to be any room in the car because my God sister's boyfriend and his lil son was going to be int he car, i decided to get out...i went up stairs to give my bro and step dad their food...about 15-20 min later we got a call, and my step father gave me the phone, because he doesnt speak english too well....

...on the phone was my mama's friend calling from my mama's cell phone, she was crying...all that i could make out as to what she was saying was "your mama, the car is on fire"...i was like WHAT? i instantly started to freak out....i asked her to repeat her self, and she said the car caught fire....so i instantly thought she meant my mama was still in the car when it caught fire and burnt up with it, especially since she was calling us from my mama's cell phone and not my mama....i felt so sick..i thought i lost my mother....i kind of froze up....then i kept asking her again, then she said theyg ot out...so i felt a lil better, but id idnt because i was thinkin that she was saying they both were in the car and it went up in flames and they got burned, because my mama's friend was crying so hard...so i kept asking questions, and i was telling ym step father and brother to let's go to where they are at....

...so she told us that they got out ok and that the car just went up in flames...so ok, they're ok, but i sure did freak out...i need to learn to remain calm...so they said they got off the E-Way at Central....we got there and they were there....a fire truck was leaving...there was a police car and 2 officers...my mama and her friend were standing....and there was the car...burt up...nothing in the inside.....i was like OMG...all i could do was thank God...i just walked back and forward, shouted Hallelujah....and i just kept saying thank you God, Thank you Jesus...my brother told me to calm down again...but i was, i wasnt upset anymore, i was just thanking God that my mama and her friend were ok....the whole inside of the car was gone....i just couldnt believe it....

...so they told us what happened....my mama's friend was sitting on the passenger side...and as they were getting off of Central, her friend said "the car is smoking"...she said that there was smoking coming from under her seat....neither one of them smoke...so it was like dang...it must have been electrical.....so my mama said that she stopped and parked the car immediately....she said that maybe a few minutes before it sounded like the car double locked...so when my mama was getting out, her friend tried to get out the car, but couldnt...she told my mama her door was stuck....when she told me that, that sounded like some "Final Destination" type shit.....so my mama told her to come out the drivers side...my mama said that when the got out, she hurried back to turn off the car and get her keys out, and grab her purse...she said as soon as she close the door, the car went up in flames...they ran across the street...they were under a viaduct... because it was right off the express way, and they ran across the street...and the car had a mini explosion....my mama said that they were both crying so hard, especially her, so thats the reason her friend called instead...i couldn't believe it...i took some pics of it, though they didnt come out so clear....















I just thank God for keeping my mama safe..because i was thinking in my head "OMG her birthday was just yesterday and now she's dead!"...thats what i thought when her friend first called...THANK YOU JESUS for them getting out ok...and her friend couldnt get out the passenger seat...my mama said all the doors locked up except for the drivers side....that is so weird....man....and that was just in like one minute that all of that happened....if they took any longer....God had his hand in that....then i started to think "Well what if i stayed int he car with them?" ...knowing me, always being nervous, i probably wouldve freaked out....and might've slowed them down, or been the last one to get out as the car was going up on flames, ohhhhh *shudders*...Thank you Jesus! i don't need to think like that...but my mama said it wasnt meant for me to be in there...and i was sitting right behind the passenger's seat.....Lord Jesus...but thank God that they're ok...

...ok with all of that excitement....my aunt, my mama's youngest sister, she's 9 years older than me, and her son, who's 16 (she had him at 16, she's 33 now), got into a fight...YES a fight! WTF??? a mother and son fighting!! when i say fight, i mean they were fighting like first fighting....my aunt said that her whole living room was messed up...stuff broken...i was like WTF? not my Patrick! (my lil cousin's)....after my mama got off the phone with her, she told me what happened......ok...the other day my aunt went out to party or something i guess....and her son asked "where you at Bitch?" so she was like "Excuse me?" and he said it again....so she called the house, because i guess she wasnt in, and asked him why he was still int eh house, because he had to go to school...he said "i am going to school bitch!"...ok WTF??? i was like ok...how dare you cuss out your mama!.....so when she got home...she was waiting on him to come in...when he came in, she asked him what did he say on the phone....and he was like "yes i called you a bitch, you whore, you out everynight partying"...ok WTF?

so my aunt went to whoop his ass, but he hit her back, and they started fighting, like for real....and then he kicked the front door in or something...and her daughter, my other lil cousin thats 13, told her "mom please stop, dont hurt him"...so she stopped and he ran out the house...she called the cops on him...i think they said something about they cant keep him because he's a minor, or something...but she told them not to bring him back to her house when they find them, because she'll kill him....so it was like RIGHT aftert hat happened when she called my mama.....i just couldnt believe that! not my Patrick! my mama couldn't believe that!....and she sometimes treated patrick like that was her favorite too, he's her older, she had a 15 yr old son, and a 13 going on 14 yr old daughter...patrick will be 17 in July....i just couldnt believe that at all....and i told my mama that that was nothing but pent up anger....and my mama was like "See i tell people you have to be careful about how you live your life in front of you kids"....

...see my aunt use to party alot...she had him young, at 16....and got 2 other kids but different fathers....even tho she wasnt the best mother when they were growing up, abnd cared more about material things (she use to buy them alot of name bran stuff, Jordans, Guess, Sean John, whatever else...) that we thought she shouldnt have bought since they're gonna grow out of it anyways and it was a waste of money.....she didnt have a father figure...she had a boyfriend when they were younger...but she turned to a homosexual lifestyle, so she had a girlfriend for the last, i think 9 years...she came out when i was in 8th grade....but they just broke up...so i guess she has women coming ina nd out of her house....and her son see's this...i remember one time i called and asked them where she was at...he was like she was out partying....she cleaned up her act a little bit, and become more of a house mom...but she still had the occassional party here and there...i dont think she partied everyweek....but to her kids, it mightve been...so he was probably mad at that...and she wasnt in the house this past weekend...and he blew his lid...that doesnt give him no right to...but he did....but he's wrong for that! no matter what, you NEVER disrespect your mother like that...i told my friend about that yesterday and was like "my mama wouldve killed me"...he was like "That's because you respect your mother, obviously your lil cousin doesnt respect his"...it's so sad...so now he's out in the street...i think he went to my other cousin's girlfriend house...my mama said she talked ot her today....he came by and asked his mom if he could get his jacket, and she told him no....i can't believe it thought...that's where you cross the line...he alreadyed crossed it at cursing at her....then he fought her? SMH! i am SO diappointed in him....so sad...he's only 16...his mama kicked him out, now he has to grow up for real....she said she doesnt want to have nothing to do to him...i know she wasnt expecting that, and were weren't either....cars blowing up, and children fighting their mothers...WTF is going on????

EXACTLY! But alot of black folks from Chicago parent's and grandparents are form the South...)

You only go to a particular Harold's cause thats your spot (87th Dan Ryan) (man i've only had Harolds once in my life...i grew up on the northside...and 6 years of my life out West...now out west they got Wallace Fish and Coleman ribs...i know about that now!)

On the weekends you go to "da show" (Thats jsut cuz people from Chicago say "da" instead of "the"...thats all...)

You wear "gym shoes" (Heck yea i wear Gym Shoes! i dont wear "Sneakers" or "Tennis Shoes")

If you were to visit U of I or NIU right now it would a be grammar school/ high school reunion. (i dont know what this is...i guess i was sheltered as a child...not, my mama let me do stuff, but i decided to stay in the house...too many crazy folks in Chicago...)

You went to "grammar school" not elementary school. (people laugh at me when i say Grammar School...)

You know what Burr Oak, Marina City, Miami, Skyway are, and you've kicked it there more than once. (Well i guess i'mn ot from Chicago then cuz i dont know what this is....)

You know how to "step" only because your momma taught you. (And my mama still has yet ot teach me how to step...thats cuz i never really danced...but i love to watch her and my aunts Step...i'm gonna learn one day before i get old...so that when i'm old i can go to the steppers set! and i use to watch Stepping at Club 7 too when i was little, lol....)

You could care less if R. Kelly is guilty or not because he repping "the crib" real hard. (I actually do care...R Kelly can NOT rep Chicago anymore...that damn PERV!)

You've ever referred to something as "cold" or "raw" Example: Joe, you heard that new R. Kelly cut?....Its raw as eva!

You hum to tune to "bang bang bang skeet skeet skeet" (LMAOOOO....i use to be hummin all those mix tape songs in my head....)

You would sing "Gel and Weave" to anyone who you suspected had weavein their hair (Bald head scally wag, ya hair can't touch ya back, gell it, weave it, you really need it...)

You drive to Indiana to get gas (some folks get cigaretts)

Your favorite events of the summer are the Taste (only on July 3) and the Bud Billiken Parade (i have GOT to be the ONLY black person in Chicago that never been to the Bud Billiken Parade...i only watched it on WGN Ch. 9...i use to like to watch the people footwork, lol....see thats cuz i dont get along with the soutside...i had bad experiences out there the 2 years i lived out there...51st and king drive?!?! that neighborhood was bad as hell!)

People STILL skate. I was at Olympic skatin' rink last week and people still come out in groups with spray painted t-shirts showing off. (LOL@this...)

Rainbow use to be the spot (thats the only rink i ever been to...and they finally closed it a few years ago...my aunt use to always go there and i went there a few times with her...)

IF YOU THOUGHT R.KELLY AND CRUCIAL CONFLICT SHOULD HAVE MADE A VIDEO FOR GHETTO QUEEN (i remember this song, and NO they shouldn't have done a video, lol...)

IF YOU EVER TREATED SOMEBODY (Treated? whats that? i've never been "hip" to alot of slang....)

If you ever used to say salty, lame, on my momma, hecky naw, raw, treated, or remember crucial conflict (I use to and i still do say "salty", "lame", "hecky naw", and i say bogus too...i've notice that alot of Chicago people say "Bogus")

ok i added to this list as you can see....lol...all ya'll chicago folks what ya'll think? if you not from Chicago, you probably think this is silly....

i got one for ya...and only the Westside folks might remember this....Remember Buddy Bears?!? there use to be on over on Cicero (my old neighborhood out west, Lamon, and Maypole!)....i think it was by Cicero and Lake...i think the side street it was on was probably West End...i'm not sure.... lol, also, people form Chicago also gotta say the intersection of a street to describe where they're from, when people from other cities will give you their adress...i had someone not from Chicago at my church down here at school ask me why people from Chicago do that...heck i dont know...we just do! ALSO if you use to listen to 107.5 WGCI you remember that "It's all about the Bad Boyz" song that had alot of those Chicago Rappers on it (Common, Twista, Do or Die, Crucial Conflict, and some other folks), that song used the "It's all about the Bejamin's" beat....LOL....

Home finally!

i'm home for 2 weeks, yeaaaaaaa! back home in the Chi...so what am i going to do? i have no idea...i guess hang with my family...go to work out with my mama because she got me a 2 week pass for Bally's.....i got my grades...this has got to be one of my best semesters ever...i only got 1 C! i know some of ya'll might be thinking "damn 1 C? she get C's all the time?" Heck yea i do! i'm SUCH a procrastinator...i know if i apply my self more i could get all A's...but thats with anyone...i guess i'm just lazy sometimes...so yea, my GPA is under a 3.0, yea that's bad....but i dont care...just one more semester! i'll have to fix that GPA when i, and before i got o grad school...if i go to Grad school....i know i will though, i might just have to do ALOT of work and get stuff waived or whatever.....but i was mad at that C when usually i am just fine with it...well not just fine with a C...but when i know that i didnt do so hot in a class, i'm glad to at least pull a C out of it so i dont have to take it over again......and alot of times, and the reason why my GPA is below a 3.0 was because of me being on prohbation which is what i use to write about when if irst started blogging and me being depressed, so when i first came down here, i didnt really care about class....God IS the only reason i'm still in school because i know i shouldve been kicked out.......i know i need to aim for A's all the time...but *shrugs*...but anyways, i got A's in my practicum class where i had to run the light board....i got an A in my speech class: communication across cultures....i got B's in my stage make up class, my music voice class, and my african and african-american theater class where the teacher was an a-hole and scheduled our final for a sunday...i got a C in my playwriting class....my full-length playwriting class....i couldve gotten an A but i was lazy...i missed and assignment, and i missed 2 more assignments that he added to the syllabus in the middle of the semester...also my final play, i only got 41 pages into him instead of i guess 60 pages, d amn it's hard to type more than 30 pages!!!!!!!!...or maybe the 40 pages was 80mins worth of acting, but my play just wasnt good...who knows...i know that's not going to look good when i'm trying to apply to grad schools to get into their playwriting program, but i have hope that i can, faith that i can do it....if my work is good, most of the time, with creative type of stuff like theater and creative writing, they dont look at your GPA....it's sad that i would have to go that route though...but this semester was rough....and all of my other plays i got A's on...so i think i'm aight at writing...i'm taking a english class in the fall to help me with my grammar.....and 2 of the ministers at church asked me to write plays...a 15-20 min skit for womens day in Sept. and a christmas play that's about 60 minutes for Christmas time....and i need to write on my own...i'm stage managing a play at this community theater in the fall....i'm pretty mucht he only black face there, with the exceptiuon of this bi-racial boy...all of the actors are under 19...well the main acter is 19, and the next age is like 16...i thinkt he youngest actor is like 8...and it's about 20 kids! ugh...i hope they dont think i'm Nell Carter or something and this is gimme a break....lol...i will not be a mammy! but anyways, that was dumb, i know.....so i got to stage manage lil kids...wow....well maybe they'll listen better than some of these grown folks....but this is some experience i can get outside of the classroom...i'm not getting paid, and i'm not getting class credit because i really dont need it since i only need that directing class int he fall to graduate....this should be fun...the play, i'm not sure what it's all about, but it's called "Honk!"...and it's about a ugly duck and alot of other farm animals...and it's a musical.....wow....but anyways...i have a few play ideas in my head that i need to write down and start writing...i'm also thinking of taking some business classes after i fiish up in the fall, or education classes to get certified to teach.....i think i'd be a good teacher...i care too much and kids like me....also well with taking the business classes, i would want to because i really want to start a black theater....there's only like 2 BIG black theaters, or LORT theaters (big theaters, like the Goodman theater), left in the country....i want to start one...back in the seventies there was like 25....black folks dont like to do theater that much anymore it seems...or we're just not getting funding like the other theaters that claim that they're "diverse"...anyways, lemme do this 10 things since G.

More drama...

...maybe i'm creating it my self...i dont know...maybe i'm over reacting, or being too needy for friendship....heck who knows....the final is over...it went well...hopefull i'll pull a B if not an S off in that class...i'm sitting here now trying to pull together 40-50 more pages of my final play thats due at 4pm today...it's 10:50am now...i have 22 pages already...which i've had for 2 weeks...why am i such a procrastinator??? but it seems i write better and the ideas flow better under pressure...i have a 6-8 page paper to type tonight and my make-up final for Stage make up class and i'm done...also...did you know that you swallow up to and have 2 litters of mucous in your stomach every day? that amount doubles when you have a cold!!! ewwww, gross! thats what the doctor told me when i went to health services the other day....yesterday i babysit this girl's child so she could take her final, it wasnt that bad....

now back to this....this IM...i talked to my friend earlier this morning...just to tell her about this dream i had, which was weird...about this guy from high school that i havent talked to in like 4 years...he got arrested with a few other people we went to school with...maybe i'm being super sensitive...and needy...and maybe i'm looking into things too much and over analyzing...maybe i'm just not listening to my self and sounding like an idiot...maybe i do have a problem with my friend because i feel like she isnt there sometimes...maybe i'm too needy for a friendship...maybe i have a problem with her and when i talk to her, instead of telling her that, i get attitudes...maybe just because you've known someone since 5th grade doesnt mean you'll be friends forever...maybe people grow apart.....thats scary to me because i dont have many friends to begin with....maybe you dont know people as well as you think you do.....hey, who knows...but heres the IM...what do ya'll think? maybe i'm being selfish, maybe i'm being a bad friend and not understanding....just want everything on my time and not worried about other people time...but what is taking 5 minutes out your day to call and say "hello i'm just checking up on you"....maybe i do just need to shut up and listen...because i wont stop talking until i say what i got to say...not that i have to have the last word....but i got to finish off all my thoughts before i shut up, and the other person can have the last word...maybe i was being a jack ass, i probably was...i need to learn to just shut up sometimes.....

LANESE1281 (1:33:56 AM): now i know you probably couldnt call cuz of your step father but i figure even now that he's gone you would
LANESE1281 (1:34:13 AM): i return calls, i call everyone, my family, people at church, you

lovehater**** (1:36:12 AM): honestly
lovehater**** (1:36:19 AM): no cause this is new to me
LANESE1281 (1:36:32 AM): about not feeling like i had you who's supposed to be my best friend to have a shoulder to cry on when i had my depression
LANESE1281 (1:36:36 AM): i told you that then
LANESE1281 (1:37:21 AM): i felt like i had no body, not even you, cuz you wasnt really compassionate or like "it's going to be ok" i know i have to suck it up...but thats not what someone wants to hear when they are depressed
LANESE1281 (1:37:44 AM): you want someone to comfort you and say it's ok,a nd that helps the best, but i got that from people i barely knew

lovehater**** (1:38:02 AM): because especially u knwing what i went thru at hme with him on a personal level
LANESE1281 (1:38:38 AM): uh?
lovehater**** (1:38:50 AM): i feel and still feel like depression is just a way to feel sorry for urself, and i never wanted that for myself
lovehater**** (1:39:11 AM): ill call u tommrow
lovehater**** (1:39:16 AM): and we can talk
LANESE1281 (1:39:19 AM): i knew nothing about what you went through at home...all i knew is that your parents were strict...you never even told me all that other stuff, and after you finally told me i wondered why you kept that in so long, because i wouldve never wanted you to handel that by your self
LANESE1281 (1:39:33 AM): and i felt so bad and hurt for you after you told me that
lovehater**** (1:39:45 AM): but thats what i didnt want
lovehater**** (1:40:06 AM): i didnt feel that way for myself so why would i burden someone else
LANESE1281 (1:40:39 AM): it's a way of feeling sorry, but you think you aren't depressed or never been? please, there's people that go thru walking depression, they dont have to be all down and out and stuck in a room like me....they can be like my mama...smiling in folks faces like nothing is wrong, but hurting inside
lovehater**** (1:39:45 AM): but thats what i didnt want

lovehater****(1:40:06 AM): i didnt feel that way for myself so why would i burden someone else
LANESE1281 (1:40:39 AM): it's a way of feeling sorry, but you think you aren't depressed or never been? please, there's people that go thru walking depression, they dont have to be all down and out and stuck in a room like me....they can be like my mama...smiling in folks faces like nothing is wrong, but hurting inside
LANESE1281 (1:41:09 AM): but to let that go and to make your burdern lighter wouldnt helped
LANESE1281 (1:41:48 AM): goodnight



maybe i do have internal issues...um, i already know i'm messed up...LOL, not like i need someone to tell me that...that's why i have been to counseling...thats another thing, i hate it when people tell me stuff that i already know....

Craziness

i dont know what's going on with me or whats wrong with me....today in class, i got into it with my professor...i know i was wrong, and as a Christian i was especially wrong, but he is such a jack ass! OMG he just pretty much called all of us undergrads stupid in a "pretty" way....he just belittled us in class...just to us, not the grad students...acusing us of not having our group performance, that he ONLY gave us a week to do, together....and we have to do it on a sunday! he came in class and snapped on us, so some of us, well some people left, but i know i snapped back...then tears started to come..he gonna say "dont expect me to say (whatever he was blabing about) to make you feel good"...i was mad because he assuemd we weren't working...when you give a group of 6 people who all have different schedules a performance to put on a sunday, and half of these people have other performances themselves for other classes...then you're going to have a problem...2 of our people are going out of town this weekend and wont be back until the day we perform...it was a mess...one girl went to talk to him already becausee she said she needed to get it off her chest, and that as a Christian she was wrong because she knew she already had a problem with him before and didnt go to him a tell him...maybe thats what i need to do before i really snap off...i was cursing, and i dont even curse....well not at the teacher, after we all left class and was venting in the green room...someone said "you know Toya is pissed because she dont even curse"...and i was...and i was hurt...he's the only black falculty in the dept...and not saying he has to give us special attention (the ones in ouir class thats black), but dont try to make us seem like we're stupid...that hurt, it really did....that makes him no different then the white falculty that might act that way here, or any other teacher for that matter...and he's talking about all of this African this and that and being united and double concsiousness...he needs to cut all that bulll...he's wrong for coming at us like that...so this happens....i am friendless, well feel friendless....lonely...i'm stressed...been having to go to the doctor, my body dont want to act right...womanly problems...a cold, and a possible sinus infection...and feel like my body is going to shut down any day now...and my mama is laid off of work once again starting tomorrow...i've been doing things i probably shouldnt have been doing....i feel like i've lost a connection with God and i'm just slowly slipping farther and farther away....and i still gotta type up thos 80-110 minute play, damn...God please help to make things better...i know they're not even really that bad, i know people go through worse, but i feel awful!

Help! I have a cold!

i REALLY hate being sick.....i think NapKaboom gave me her cold....i'm done with the play (thank God!)....it was SO cold in that light booth that i had to wear a coat and gloves....then the last 2 nights i took some noDoz to stay up because i get sleepy when i'm cold, not to mention that the play was 2 and a half hours long! (the longest play ever)....so i dont know, i figure that that's what made me sick....either that, or the way this weather is....it was like 80 degrees 2 weeks ago, now it's like 50-60 degrees here....i didnt go to work yesterday morning because i was so sick, so i called in, and my boss said just to rest...i had to go to class at 2pm though....i wanted to call yellow man to bring me some soup and orange juice, buti thought against it...i called my friend from chuirch that lives across from me, to see if she had any, but she didnt, so she said she would take me to wal-mart...so i got like 4 bottles of orange juice and 4 cans of soup....it's horrible when i'm sick...i dont know what was going on with my body, but sunday when i went to sleep, i got up to pee like 5 times, and everytime i got up, my pillow was soaking wet with slob (ewww gross, i know)...it was like my mouth had novacaine in it or something....and my nose was running, just gross....

...so anyways, we have 1 week and 3 days left of school...finals are next week...we have to sing our last song today for our Voice class...it's a Beatles song called "My life" i believe...sunday i gotta do a group project...yea my teacher iw as having problems with last semester is the a-hole that scheduled this for sunday....so it's a play that someone in the class picked (he didnt pick my play), so we have to do this other girl's play, which is funny as heck...it's a really good play, so we have to perform it for our final.....i have a final for my make up class next week..i dont know what i'ma do yet...i think i'ma post the pictures my teacher take of us on exam days (our make up), and post them on here...the only thing is that i dont want the pictures to end up on a site like www.uglypeople.com, or a site called www.wtfiswrongwiththisperson.com (if a site like that exists)....then i have a presentation for my speech class and a paper due for it this friday (ughhhhhh) hopefully i can get through it because i need that class to graduate....

....i guess i'ma go home for a lil bit, but i dont know, there isnt much to go home to, besides my family that is, but i know i cant stay around my family much, because we'll get on each other nerves...but i dont seem to have any friends, those who i thought were friends, well i guess we aren't anymore, i havent talked to in weeks, even my bestfriend is funny acting....i know that you dont have to talkt o your friends allt he time, but when you call people and they dont return calls, or when they seem like they dont want to be bothered, that makes you start to think that way, especially when you really need someone to talk to, then it's like "we'll damn where are all of my friends?" especially if they said they are, went out of their way to act like they really cared about you, especially when they were the one to come at you first, and act like thy want to "fix things", but the way they act makes it seem like they lied about really being your friend, especially when they're not there for you, especially those who are supposed to be your bestfriend that you've known for pretty much all of your life...i dont understand how people sya that they are friends, and they make time to call everyone else but you, but when it comes to you its "well i'm busy, i'm at work"....but they just cant take 5 minutes out of their schedule to call to say "i've just been thinking about you and calling to check on you to see how you're doing?"....i've never understood people who give that "busy' excuse...i dont know, i guess because i'm not that type of person...even with my family, i'm like the only person that calls everyone to check on them...NO ONE calls me, they dont even care *tearing up*, i guess i care too much.....i've been feeling like i dont have a friend in the world....and i still feel like i dont have anyone to talk to, even with my friends at church, i feel like they dont want to be bothered or something...i dont know, maybe i'm going back into a depressed state, but i'm just going to have to nip that in the bud...but i feel so alone right now....well i guess i just have Jesus, because that's the only one that's been there to comfort me, especially in years past when i was really down...i guess there's a season for everything....i just hope that God brings a very understanding friend my way that will listen and be compassionate toward me, because i really need someone to talk to, but i dont have that now, and i actually never have had it, besides a few folks from church, but i dont feel like i can even talk to them....and i dont want to worry my mother about anything...

....i still got this 80-110 minute play due...i got about 24 pages of it for my teacher last week...so i have until next week wednesday on the 11th to get the whole thing done and into my teachers mail box before 4pm...knowing me, i might be rushing like i did last semester to get it to his box, because i'm such a procrastinator....hopefully i'll get it done way ahead of time....i might be having a get together at my apartment on sunday...i know it's Mothers Day, but it's not like i'm going home...so i wanted to invite my whole choir, and some people from class....but then i dont really have any funiture, so everyone will be ont he floor, unless they bring folding chairs...i do want to BBQ behind my building, but i dont have a grill,a nd i dont know if anyone really feels like BBQ'ing....i might not have it, but i want to have it because a few people i know are going home for the summer...so i might have something...but i dont know if EVERYONe is going to fit in my apartment....if so, we're going to be packed in there like sardines in a can...

...guys are weird? have i said that before? i probably have...i will never understand them.....i think they throw around the phrase "i love you" too loosely...."James" told me that after we wasnt even talking that long...now he doesnt even call me....but now, i was talking to "Yellow Man" on the instant messenger yesterday, and he said that....i asked him something along the lines of "why do you like me" or maybe it was "why do you want to kiss me?" because he said that (EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, his teeth)....and he said something about he care for me, then i was like "well why?" (because i always have another question lines up, another "why?"), and he said "Cause i love you"...maybe he's been listening to too much Lenny Williams...i dont know...but i told him to take that shyt back, and dont say it again...first he dont know that much about me, he just like what he see....then what if we started dating? he'll probably just say all that stuff, and lie, then he'll end up not liking me like all the other guys that claimed they did....i told him to take it back, and not to say it because he doesnt mean it and he dont love me.....i dont like for people to just say "i love you"...i can barely say it my self...i'll say "i like you' or "i like you, alot', but i cant say 'i love you"...i hate saying it to family that i dont really care for, so i know i just cant say it to any random guy....i wanted to ask him why his teeth are the color they are...but i was afraid of huting his feelings...first off i cant kiss him if his teeth are like that...i wanted to tellh im that, but i didnt...i figured that would hurt his feelings...second, we're just friends, and i told him that friends don't kiss....then he goes onto saying he wants to be more than friends...i'm like "dude you havent even asked me on a date yet"...so he said something later in our convo that after this gospel concert this saturday thats gonna be at my church, if he could take me on a first official date to applesbees....i'm like "Well everyone from church will be there anyways, so why would that be a date?"...maybe i'm mean, i dont know...but i hate being around everyone and everyone in my business...lol, (i know but i'm putting my business out on my blog, blah! who cares?)....but i hate it when people tease me (playfully that is), because they will if they see me there with him...and some of the folks at church be like "i seen your friend "yellow man"" 'ya'll still together?" um i'm like we never were....he only came to church with me once like last year in OCT. and they think he's my love interest...smh....maybe there will be some cute guys on campus during the summer time...and it's so much easier to meet folks then because they're all down here bored just like you with no friends because their friends went home...plus i'm taking a strenght training class....so maybe they'll be some football players or something in it :-) or guys period! dang it seems like there's no decent guys around! well at least at my school...most of the football, b-ball players, and male period on this campus are whores, and they mess around with too many girls, or they're some fake thug acting dudes...where are the nerds at?!?! i like nerds! cute nerds! like that engineering guy that i liked, but he's off in Iowa to his John Deere job...*sighs*...ugh i hate thugs, but anyways, i'm writing too much, and i really eed to go to this Stage Makeup class...we're making facial hair today....i'll take a picture of that with a mustache on and put it on my blog...i'm pretty sure that'll land on www.uglypeople.com, lol...anyways, i'll post later, or when i get the chance to...peace!

ps....
PLEASE tell me what ya'll think about me asking "Yellowman" about his teeth! Should i ask him, or shouldnt i? if he's talking all this talk, he will need to know that i cant kiss someone who's teeth are that color...that doesnt mean his breath stink, but still...and i know my teeth aren't int he best shape (i need braces and will be getting them soon hopoefully), but my teeth arent a dark orange, brown, yellow....ewww...anyways, is it mean of me to ask? or am i being too um, whats the word, vain? (i odnt know if that's the right word)...let me know...
