we walked through the diamond district to get back to their hotel, and then on the way back to our apt a reporter for the metro stopped me and asked if she could ask me the question of the day and put me in the paper tomorrow. so she asked me if i thought jennifer lopez's new marriage would last, and i was like, the hell? i didn't even know she was married again. but i basically said no, but that i hoped she wouldn't put herself in another assed out position. russ said it perfectly: "i like you. wanna get married? my biological clock is tickin." lol. ![[info]](http://library.vu.edu.pk/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi/000100A/http/web.archive.org/web/20040607070523im_/http:/=2fstat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} buttaa said i should have rambled on about how it's no one's business and then conclude with me wishing she and diddy got back together lol. i need to take my ass to bed so i can get up in the morning for work. i'm so excited. i hope they let us leave early though i need to go grocery shopping this starvation has got to stop. i only had that one meal at brunch. i feel myself about to lose weight with all this walking and missed meals. but if i lose weight it'll definitely be on accident lol. |

the apartment's pretty cool-- 4 roomies, 1 bathroom, 2 bedrooms, kitchen-- it looks so plain in here though. we need to get some decorations up to make it a bit more homely, but i'm really not one for interior decorating so we'll see. my roomates are okay, good mixture. there's katie from pittsburg--she's pretty cool i met her first. she's really nice, and talkative, and seems to be most like me out of the bunch. we clicked right away and i'll probably be closer to her than anyone else. she's the only caucasian (irish/italian), so i wonder how she feels about having 3 black roommates lol. and i KNOW we'll get along great because we have the same birthday (august 9) and i really don't believe in all that astrological stuff, but a lot of the people i get along with are leos like me. we had our first little homemade meal--she made some pasta and put together a salad. it wasn't the most seasoned lol but it was straight. oh and she goes to villanova, right next door to where i'll be next semeseter! i met khadeja second, from nashville, and she seems really anti-social and off to herself. she didn't speak to me until i initiated conversation, and then was expressionless the whole time. and she wants to keep all her stuff seperate and didn't wanna eat with us, so yeah i think imma just leave her be. she did this internship last year, so i dunno maybe she thinks she's ahead of the game. she yelled at katie for accidentally using her pot! lauren, the one i'm sharing a room with, is really nice and talkative. she's pretty cool. from new orleans, she's a bit on the conservative side, but i'm happy to have her as my immediate roomie. my room is nice too. each bedroom came with one of those combination tv/dvd players, so you know i was amped with my 101 dvds. but why do i have a bunk bed and my ass sleeps inches from the ceiling?? definitely different. i mean it would've been cool if i was 11 but uh, yeah. it's hell coming up and down too. and i need an extension cord so i can sleep near my cell. ugh. i'm exhausted right now but tomorrow is shopping, exploring, and getting ready for work on monday. |

so i finished reading one flew over the cuckoo's nest, and it was pretty brilliant. i expected it to be so because it's a "classic" and it was made into a movie that won awards and everything. but it was a really engaging read. really sad though. i was curious about the movie so i went and rented and watched it today, and of course the book was way better. i felt like i already knew the script by heart. and i didn't realize so many familiar faces were in the movie...christopher lloyd, danny devito, the weird looking chubby guy i'd seen in other movies, and then of course jack nicholson. he was actually kinda sexy, receding hairline and balding spot and all. i also rented Monster. i was curious since i hadn't heard anything about it from people i know, but i knew it won all these awards. i just finished watching it a minute ago w/my brother. i hadn't realized christina ricci was in it...she looked crazy with her mullet that emphasized her boulder-head and big eyes. she was still cute though, after i got used to it. and man i hope make-up won one of those awards because charlize looked a hot. ass. mess. i needed to see a picture of her to make sure her beauty was still under all that gunk. the movie was kind of uncomfortable to watch though, because of the content. i knew it was something about a female serial killer but i didn't know she was a lesbian or a prostitute, nor did i know she was so damn ugly. but the movie was so intriguing i'm reading up about her now. that movie was sad too. i didn't cry. i wanted to though. |

today's already been a weird day and i just woke up. yeah i know it's like four-something but my sleeping patterns are all jacked again. but i'm making breakfast and my mom comes in, kind of upset because she's sick and she was at the doctor. they're running all types of tests because they're not sure what's wrong with her and she was acting like she didn't wanna talk about it. so you know when people are vague you think the worst and after a minute i blurted, "did they say it might be cancer?" so after she tells me no the phone rings almost immediately and it's one of my friends i hadn't talked to in a while. i was actually thinking about her the other day, and that i needed to call her for some reason, but didn't. so we're talking and she's talking about how she hasn't been in school because of money, her mom has breast cancer and she's in radiation, she closed her shop because she couldn't work, which was a hair shop my mom and i used to go to, and she had to shave her head. they're selling the house which is like 3 minutes from my house, and on top of all that my friend got jumped the other night making a drop at the bank for the blockbuster at which she works in chicago. i just fel bad because we used to stay in contact with her mom just because of the shop and i'd always be over there eating curry everything (they're from trinidad). i'm sure she'll get thru it but i know it's a lot of stress and trauma for them. i'm gonna go tutor some kids in a bit. |

okay that's enough i just had to get that off my chest since i'm never going to meet these people and can only oggle them from my family room across the country, from a 30something inch color screen; chubby thighs clad in pajamas. so russ and i went and saw "the day after tomorrow" and it was amazing. i hadn't seen a good disaster movie in a while. i was focused the whole time, and even laughed a few times. go see it! after the movie we went to Hibachi, and that definitely hit the spot because i hadn't had ::coughamericanizedcough:: japanese in a minute. i had a good time. russ came to the house afterwards for a bit of tv and more quality time since i'm leaving for NY in a few days and he starts working tomorrow. it's been nice spending time with him but i must say sometimes it's hard to keep conversation. he's always trying to anticipate what i'm gonna say and finishes my sentences, especially when he's trying to drop some knowledge as if he always knows everything i know. i dunno it's annoying. he also does a lot of countering. i dunno it's hard to explain, like he doesn't necessarily get defensive, but just every assertion i make he has some sort of contrived explanation for. i don't let it get to me too much because that's just the way he is, it just makes it hard to be easy in conversation and just freely communicate and share and joke and play. but despite all that we still have a lot of fun and our moments and i really appreciate/enjoy his company. i love him. and i'm gonna miss having him just drop by. after he left, my family finally got to spend some quality time with all four of us in attendence. we watched tv and played cards, and i took my brother on a food run since his license expired. i would have tagged along anyway though. |

i just came from shari's. i went over there to watch mos def's new hbo movie, and it was actually rather boring. maybe i was just too impatient to let the story unfold. but anyway. we watched punk'd when that came on. i swear i had another point to make but i've lost it. oh yeah. i was watching 60 minutes today with my daddy and they took 11 minutes out to show the 800 photos of the american casualties in iraq, and it was so sad. i think it was the first time that i actually took time out to think about what's going on with the war. i've pretty much dismissed it this whole time, but today was different. i wanted to cry but didn't. most of the time i have shitty feelings about this country and our government, but today was the first time ever that i felt just an inkling of pride as an american. why were they playing the scarface music while they showed the photos though? that was kinda funny to me. that instrumental is cold though i need to find out what it is. i love having conversations with people who i know read my journal on a regular basis but don't wanna make it obvious, so when i tell them stories they pretend to be hearing it for the first time ::rolls eyes:: |

you ever feel like one aspect of your wardrobe is just on E and you need to buy madd stuff? that's how i felt about my summer footwear. so we went to the mall and when i realized they weren't gonna have what i was seeking we went to south st in philly and i got a couple pairs of the cutest shoes....an orange pointy pair with little heels and about 7 colorful buttons on the side of the toe, and a white pair of pointy slingbacks. i was the happiest shopper alive yesterday. afterwards we went to russ' room and watched the game and cheaters with his friends. i was so mad at the woman who tried to jump naked off the roof of a building because she got caught cheating on her boyfriend. mos def's new movie on hbo comes on tonight! i have to go over shari's to watch it since we don't get it here. |

i knew i had to get out of the house today so the day wouldn't be a complete loss, so i went over raf's and watched the lakers game and half of KILL BILL, since he'd never seen it. we made dinner together and it was just the best meal i've had in a minute, since my mom doesn't seem to be into cooking full-course meals anymore. man it was great: chicken w/mushrooms, rice, corn, and salad. not complicated just complete. i dunno if yall can understand my excitement, i just haven't ben eating as well as i'd like lately, especially being home. but it's cool. while grocery shopping he found $40 just rolled up on the floor so he gave me 10 of it. we were two giddy hyperass kids after that. i'm feeling like some chappelle, then perhaps my book. |

my dad and i talked about it and i'm scheduled to move up to NYC on monday, but it doesn't make any sense for me to move in that early if i don't start working until june 7. i think i was just so anxious to move out of the house and get up there that i told johanna i would come up the first day the apartment was available. but since it's memorial day weekend and i'm trying to do the beach and BBQs, i need to call and reschedule myself to move in next weekend, or on friday if i can't do it on saturday. since daniel's coming home friday i would like to have more time at home with him. |

um. you know how you see someone you used to like but thought you didn't like anymore, and all those dormant feelings flood out? that's how i feel about aaron right now. they're not too strong, but i feel a little different than i did a week ago. i'm not trying to pursue a relationship with him or anything, but i just really enjoy his company. i really care about him and love him as my friend. i know he'll always be there for me and keep it real with me. and he's just so fun and colorful and animated and stylish. he's really cute too, which doesn't hurt. but i like how when we're around each other we can just enjoy each other without sexual tension or pressure. we slept side-by-side on the floor the other night and nothing happened and it was just nice. we held hands in georgetown a bit and may have thrown an arm or two around each other while sleeping but that's it. i asked him to come up this weekend but then remembered my brother is flying home on friday and that would be real messy, as emotional as my brother can get and as hard a time it is for him right now. so i'll just have to wait til i'm in ny to see him. that's cool. ah man. my brother. my parents told me today that he's flying out here on a one-way on friday. they all met twice with the dean while in chicago and i think if they don't appeal they're thinking he'd go to the morehouse school of medicine, since it's the best of the black schools. he went to morehouse for undergrad so it won't be anything new and he should be straight. |

the only thing was i wasn't supposed to drink until i lost weight. dah well. brother, brandon, erica, raf, and his boy stephan also spent the night. it was great..like a mini A.I. reunion for some of us. it sucks that a lot of us from high school aren't as cool anymore so i couldn't have my usual gathering, but i still had a lot of fun.stephan was in interesting individual, a free spirit for real lol. he's in the army and is home temporarily from iraq, which is crazy to me because i've never met anyone who was over there. this man said it was fun though, and told us all these crazy stories. he has to go back in october though, which he said he's not looking forward to because it is dangerous. i hope he comes back safely. or ends up not having to go at all. this man had everyone rollin though because he said he had like seven tattoos so okay i ask if i can see, and when he reveals the one on his chest, we discover he has both nipples pierced. that was too much for me. i'd thought about doing it, but i heard a long time ago it can kill the nerves, but he said it enhances them. the only thing that was outta place was he tried to feel me up and take my bra off in my sleep. i woke up and pretended like i didn't feel it and went to the bathroom. i think he wanted me to wake up and be all over him. we were vibing conversational-wise but i really wasn't attracted to him like that. we went to acme and bought a gang of food and i was feeling generous so i paid for most of it....aww my mom just invited me for ice cream and a mall trip. wonderful. |

this weekend was fun though. i was kinda nervous about the way everyone would interact because you know when you get a group together that don't know each other it could get awkward, depending on everyone's personalities, but it as all good once shari and raf got over their little spat. it was great seeing aaron, and of course everything was everything even though i hadn't seen him in months. he is just too cute. his new house is really nice and he has lovely 2 cats, one of which was on my throat when i woke up with all it's fur all in my nose. i did a little shopping in georgetown, not much because of finances but i was mainly there just to see the area. it was great. i hope i can have a house there later. man i wanna go SWIMMING. or to a water park or SOMETHING. my parents' bathroom hasn't been cleaned probably in years so i'm gonna surprise them and make it really nice for when they get home tomorrow. it's hot and i'm home alone so i think i'll do it in my underwear with the stereo blasting. how exciting. i think i'm gonna have a sleepover. if i had some money i would get some drank so hopefully someone can donate to the inebriation fund or maybe i'll find something stashed in the house. |

Man it's getting so close to my moving to NY that I'll have to plan next week really carefully. I definitely wanna get to the beach before I leave, and i wanna have most of my friends over at the end of the week I think. I rented Eddie Griffin's Dysfunkional Family and Freaky Friday...I watched the former at Berri's a little while ago and it was funny, few parts were hilarious, and I felt bad for his mom in the front row who just looked so distressed when her son started talking about accidentally licking a girl's ass. I'm gonna read some erotic lit and then go to bed early since there's madd driving to be done tomorrow. |
