curses!

you know that last bite of food from your meal, waiting to be savored ever-so-slowly? that last bite that is a combination of everything that was on your plate as an immediate reminder of how tastetastic your meal was? yeah, you know what i'm talkin about.

well, i just dropped mine. from my fork to the collar on my white shirt, to the boob-catch area of my white shirt, to my grey jeans, to the floor.
it was pasta.
so not only did i miss out on the last bite, but now i look like i'm in 2nd grade.

and i wonder why i'm single.

remember this stuff and their slogan?

"nuprin. little. yellow. different."

random!

once, i punched my brother in the face.

do you care? you shouldn't. especially if you don't know my brother.

i wanted to quickly address how consumed i think people are with other people's lives. this bothers me for 2 reasons - 1) i'm private and 2) there are so many other things that matter that we can care about.

these people have been in the media heavy recently

all have been judged, all have been hated. i just can't bring myself to care. don't get me wrong, i read about it. i even listen to other people's opinions. but that's what brought me here. how can you be so judgmental about another person? another person that you don't even know, at that. how can someone you've never met have such a huge effect on your feelings?
when my family and/or money start to be affected by the actions of strangers, i'll get revved up. in the meantime, i believe the judging should be reserved only for people that don't make mistakes.
aww, nuts! that means you're out.

update: takers.

when i posted about Takers before, it was expected to be released in february. it turned into late august. i'm not a fan of opening night, so i waited until this past weekend to see it. yeah, it was full of sexy. yeah, it kept my attention. it wasn't riveting, but i didn't need that. i'm not hard to please. i will say that the skinny one, hayden christensen, impressed me. he wasn't even on my radar before.

about t.i...you just can't take the hood out of him. that dsgb (down south georgia boy) accent doesn't seem like it's going anywhere. his best performance for me was in ATL because he basically played himself. when he gets to the point where he can alter his speech (like idris elba), i'll call t.i. an actor.

*spoiler alert*
when he gets caught at the end with the bags of money and yells out "i'm taking what's mine!" i laughed out loud. they should have rewritten that :/

ahh, i love it when blacks, whites and browns can some together sexily for my viewing pleasure.

side hustle #14.

y'all know about my hobbies, right? graphic design, cooking, jewelry making, photography, writing,etc. well now i'm interested in sewing. i started a class last week and this is how i feel about it :

there's so much to learn, so many mistakes to be made and so many factors that go into making the perfect garment. and poking yourself with a quilting needle feels like a small death.

i sound like i'm complaining, but i'm actually quite thankful for the opportunity. the instructor is relatively inexpensive, compared to the large commercial classes offered at Jo Ann's Fabric. and she's really patient, which is good for me considering i'm a tard. i literally have a question a minute.

why am i sewing? well, i have a habit of coming up with great ideas in my mind, then i'll spend all my time searching online and malls for something that doesn't really exist. also, i'm tall and curvy. not everything that i fall in love with loves me back. it'll be nice to have tailor-made clothes. as i get older, i'm learning that i have expensive taste. i could literally save 90% by making things myself. so i'm going through frustration now, in order to eliminate it in the future. i hope & plan (& pray) to get good at this. i enjoy being self-sufficient where i can.

my instructor said she was impressed that i finished my skirt in the 1st class, since no one else has made that type of progress. i'm still trying to figure out if she's making that up.
i went back yesterday to add some Elle B flair to it (the vertical ruffle). had to make it fit my personality! i meant to take pictures of the process, but i was so overwhelmed it didn't happen. here's the finished product.
