Pieces of Me, Volume III

I thought it would be relatively easy to list things about myself but now that I'm at #51 I feel like I'm grabbing at straws. I mean am I really this boring? I thought I was some complex, forward thinking, non-conformed, beautiful, intelligent, can't.be.moved, black woman! *sigh* Yea ok, obviously I think way too highly of myself..

51. I.am.the.shyt. *lol* I do not suffer from self loathing or low self esteem. Nope. I know who I am and WHOSE I am. Stop playing.

52. I am passionate. I ooze passion. I breathe it. I AM it.

53. I love love. Character flaw? Perhaps but it doesn't stop me from loving hard. That's the only way I know how. For God so loved the world.. need I say more?

54. I am terrified of buying stocks/having a portfolio/mutual funds. The jargon intimidates me. Yields? No load fee? *scratching my head* But I promise I will cross this bridge real soon.

55. I am competitive but only with certain folk. I hate when Stunna beats my ass in chess and tennis. When he wins, I see red. I wanna fight. He's a competitor too ya see. Not.good.

56. I have penis envy. I want one.

57. I steal parking passes from work because I refuse to pay $13 to park somewhere I don't really want to be. What-eva!

58. Ok it's not like I don't want to be at work because honestly I do no work, it's just that an idle mind...yea you finish that and it's probably the main reason I fantasize bout married men. Becuz I ain't got shyt else to do between 8:30-3:45. (don't hate at my work hours).

59. I feel bad for Juanita Bynum. It ain't no joke when the ones you feel closest to you wanna hurt and destroy you!

60. I want a pet but I'm sure Mike Vick done effed that up for err'body! *bastid* There's gonna be a dog-buyin freeze *lol* watch what I tell you!

61. Tragedies are my wake-up call, my ah-ha moment. Someone close to my son was killed in a motorcycle accident. It rattles me when death comes so early and so violent. He was 24.

62. I miss my sister. I miss Sterling. I miss Tyler. I miss Tim.

63. I can not stop eating those vanilla wafer things. You know the ones that look like "x'd" cardboard and are filled with sweet vanilla stuff and a million come in one pack? When you bite into it, crumbs fly everywhere.
I'm sure the ants in my house are having a field day. *ugh* They are the dumbest food ever but they sure are good.

64. I got a B-12 shot yesterday. *shew* I feel my metabolism shuckin and jivin as we speak! I'm ready to get up and do something! *energized*

65. I hate cleaning bathrooms and kitchens. I will put it off as long as possible. Maybe it is a good thing that I live alone?? Be glad for the small things. LOL! Nothing worse than somebody breathing down ya neck wondering why you not cleaning. Ugh!

66. I want to take a cooking/baking class but I don't want to eat what I cook. Too much temptation in the world! Carbs are the anti-Christ!

67. I am piercing my nose to go with my whole new bohemian thing I told you about last time.

68. I am obsessed with Bird from Soul Food. She has the prettiest skin and hair! I want to be her! I AM her!

69. As I get older, I *secretly* wouldn't mind moving back to my hometown *oh my* to hang out with my momma and Irmie (my granny). Life is SHORT and fam is all you got! When I go home to visit, me and my momma shut the thrift stores DOWN. We are a force to be reckoned with!

70. I like white choco lattes from Starbucks but I refuse to pay $4 when I can get bland coffee at work for free. I'm cheap.

71. My girlfriend asked me to be a mentor for teenage girls, like a Big Sis. I'm thinking to myself, I'd better not. What kind of role model am I? Geesh! Sometimes I'm jealous. Sometimes my attitude sucks. Most times I don't like people. Corporate America is bogus. College is dumb. I am bitter about my student loans. Nah, I better stay away from those girls.

72. I can not stop watching anything "bride" related. Bridezilla. Platinum Weddings. My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding. Whose Wedding Is It Anyway? *don't say 1 word*

73. I am NOT money hungry. I pride myself on this.

74. I am NOT a label-whore.

75. Hot sunny days make me smile. And sweat.

Have a safe, blessed, drama free weekend!
