Rambling...
Last fight?
Some cousins and I were going into KFC, and these gutter chicks thought since we weren't from the area, we couldn't get down...We did...I lost one of my favorite earrings, along with blacking out, and banging some broad's head against a door in anger. I need to work on that rage thing.
What makes you cry?
Loneliness. I wonder why men choose the glossed, weaved chicks instead of women of substance. Men never choose women who read, write or have an opinion. I'm guessing this may be the reason why some of us go to the girl-girl thing. Me, I'm still searching for my personal Saul Williams.
Describe the moment you came closest to death.
I was a freshman in high school, and I didn't have a locker yet. I was carrying all of these heavy assed books in a shoulder bag. I had on these cute but slippery shoes, and I slipped in front of a moving bus. Luckily, the bus driver saw me and stopped within feet of me. Whew...
Most dangerous friend?
HM. Sometimes she doesn't know what she says. And what she says, out loud, will get us all killed, if not fucked up really bad.
Is there anybody you miss?
Venom. I drive myself insane trying to figure out why he's here, and what he wants with me.
Craziest fear?
Darkness. Shut up.
A food you're ashamed to admit you crave?
None, really. I'm a picky eater, and if I like it, I just like it.
What humbles you?
Knowing that I'm intelligent, but there's people far more smarter than I could ever be. Even on a good day.
Biggest lesson learned?
Never give your heart to an undeserved soul. If they make you cry one time, leave, and leave them fast.
RUN.
What disappoints you?
Women who don't value their worth. I mean, is it really that serious to lose your self-respect, dignity and pride to be accepted in society? I think not.
Famous people you find disappointing?
Lil' Kim. She had the power to change the game. Instead, she decided to make her mark by lying about deep throating, and porn stardom. I could go on, but do I really need to?
Famous people who inspire you.
I'm not really inspired by people that are in the spotlight. My mother inspires me, and she doesn't have paparazzi following her.
Goals?
To be an author, and someone's mother. Yeah, check that out...
Favorite song right now.
Snoop Dogg - Let's Get Blown. He's really outdone himself this year. This coming from a chick that doesn't listen to mainstream. That really says something.
Somewhere you haven't been that you'd love to go.
I'm not one for traveling, but, I'd love to go to Tibet. Really, I'd love to go somewhere that has black sand. I don't know. There's something exotic about black sand.
Loner or social butterfly?
A little bit of both. I have a whole host of friends, but sometimes, I'd rather be in my office, typing about mundane events in my life.
One book most people would be surprised you read?
The Art of War. Most of my friends think I'm quirky, but I'd rather read that than the latest drama filled rag, disguised as African-American literature. I mean, what's the deal with that? Is reading bullshit that engaging? Hell, I can write my own bullshit.
One movie most people would be surprised you love?
West Side Story. My geekgirl persona doesn't include musicals. When people find out I'm a sap at heart, their view of me changes. Not that I care, but I don't need any more misconceptions about who I really am. So, we'll keep that a secret, cool?
