 I've noticed lately that I don't know who I am. And it scares the hell out of me. I'm torn between juxtaposing ideas of self. Am I the hippie girl who wants to save the world and doesn't give a damn what her parents tell her? Am I the good girl who does exactly what she's told? Am I the Princess that has to have everything perfect and can never break a nail?  Read More »

 Not the actual person, but the elephant. The elephant was named after him because he killed 27 people in northeast India. He was shot down on a tea plantation yesterday. This is all kind of amusing to me. I never thought that elephants, especially ones with no tusks, would kill people. To bad it wasn't the real bin Laden, whom e was named after because for the last 2 years the elephant has remained quite elusive.  Read More »

 Some schools have put a ban on the bump and grind. At Fayetville-Manlius High School in a Syracuse, NY suburb they have cancelled dances until the dirty dancing stops. My opinion? Good. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy going to dances and dancing like that- to an extent. Sometimes, it goes to far. I see many people basically having dry sex on the dance floor, and other people imatating it because they don't want to seem weird.  Read More »

 When it comes to who I am I am one of the first people to admit my faults. I'm aware of what is bad about me and what is good. What bothers me is when people who don't even know me judge me. Why is how I live my life, or how I have lived, any of your business. There's this one guy at school who just down right hates me even though I've never been anything but nice to him (really, if I had been mean I would admit to it). Why he hates me is the stupidest reason in the world. Before I moved to this small ass backwards school I lived in a city. In that city there were a lot more opportunities to be... bad I guess you could say. So he doesn't like me for my past, which I have openly said I regret, and he also doesn't like me because I don't go to church all that often. Why is it up to him to morally judge me? Why is it that people who are basically strangers judge people before they get to know them? I try my damndest to not judge someone until I have known them for a while. It just bothers me because this one guy has ruined a lot of my opportunities to date someone because of how I used to be.  Read More »

 All my life I have been surrounded with women telling me what beautiful is. It was never you're beautiful the way you are, but rather make some changes and you can be beautiful too. From my paternal grandmother I learned at a young age that designer labels made the person. I was reading Vogue at the ripe age of 6. I knew what Prada was while most people were learning how to read. By the age of 7 I could put on makeup without looking like a 7 year old. When I was 9 my Christmas present was a bag of makeup. My grandmother is still my biggest critic. When I go to visit her I am a completely different person. I wear my clothes a little different, wear much more makeup than normal, my normal get ready routine takes about 30 minutes. With her it can take about an hour or more. Each year there is something that can be changed. My teeth could be whiter, my hair a different cut/color, my makeup different. In her eyes, I am the pitiful grandaughter. My cousins reign supreme grooming wise and it's up to her to pick up my mother's slack in taking care of me. My grandmother still is the one who buys most of my clothes, because she knows what the name brands are, and she buys most of my makeup too. That $15 eyeliner that she knows is my favorite? No big deal. My mother on the other hand gets mad when I buy a $5 eyeliner in an emergency. I love my grandmother, and I am very very fortunate to have her in my life but sometimes I want to scream when she starts in on how I could be so much prettier if I just did (fill in the blank). Shouldn't she be telling me I am beautiful no matter <i>what</i>?  Read More »

 Today is Veteran's Day and most people had off of school yesterday in honor. Why yas this holiday become just another day to get off of school? Even in my small town we usually have a parade but this year's hasn't been announced at all. Especially with the 'war' going on today one would think that people would pay more attention to our veterans. It seems that it really is just another day off of school to some people. Around my house though it's a Big Deal. You see, my mom is a veteran, and no matter how much she makes me mad with her military tough love, she's still a hero. She dresses up in her camo and walks around the house expecting us to treat her like a queen. It's really quite a scene.  Read More »

 It seems like everywhere I turn someone is getting killed or raped because of online predators. Honestly? I think these "victims" have a huge part in wht happens to them. They post half naked pictures of themselves online and then they bitch when people try to talk to them. It's like they are screaming for attention but when they get it they cry foul. I'm sick of MySpace getting a bad rap.  Read More »

 It appears that Kevin Federline has filed for sole custody of his children. Why the hell would ANYONE give him custody? Ok, so Britney may drive around with Sean Preston on her lap, but at least she doesn't try to be gangsta. It seems like she has resigned herself to the fact that she really is Louisiana White Trash. I spent a lot of my childhood in Louisiana and I can confirm that yes, parents do drive around with their kids on their laps.  Read More »
