MY FRIENDS

Okay. we all have friends... especially those we are pretty positive until sooner or later they prove to us that they are not true friends. Sure that sounds familiar to more than just a few. A few of my friendships have grown into love. sister/brother relationships. remained at a standstill. while some are those friendships that I know exist even though we may not communicate on a regular basis but when we do... we have GREAT conversations & talk as if.. we talk every single day. I am thankful for each of my friendships because they all have an affect on the type of person I am... it started out as a simple 2 week friendship... still a friendship & great love thus far. 4 yrs & counting. & my big sister!. speaks for herself, due to grad from Xavier 2009, go on to grad school & eventually she will be DR. HENDRIX until that end changes & she becomes a MRS. to some mans MR. but i love her dearly & she has truly inspired me to strive to be a better person... not only a better person but she has helped me develop into a WOMAN!. & there is also one more friend I think has had an affect on my life. She isn't where my big sis is, but she is slowly making her way!. She has drive & ambition. She has a goal set in mind & i hope that she sticks w/ it & she is able to achieve her goal & I see her graduating to become DR. COOK!. Yep girlie, its YOU.. said somethin special the other day.. damn.. all the way in reno & she talk to me more than she talk to those who she consider "friends" in vegas. but its just lik that sometime!.

All in all.. i just wanted to take some time to reflect on my friends & the relationships I have w/ each of them. Thank you!. All of my friends have impacted me in some way shape or form. & i am most happy of the relationships I am developing w/ these girls in Reno. Right over the bridge are my Canada hall room 15.. A B C girls!. I LOVE YOU CHICKS ... all the late night giggles, snacks, laughs, cries together.. awwww.. man.. its all priceless!. I'm thankful..

XOXO.

BaCk To ThE bAsICs

So... already, its Sunday all over again!. Ugh. Which means, my week is beginning just as it does every other weekend!. Sunday, Relax. I don't think I have any homework today. Although I should probably be reading a chapter or something of that nature!. But I feel lik relaxing & unwinding from still my testful week last week. So today, I plan on reading a few magazines & then taking a nap while my roomies are productive & study for their math test tomorrow.

RECAP OF THE WEEKEND: Friday night, whew, did it feel good to unwind w/ my roomies, Pops {roomies uncle}, Brit, & BUD LIGHT LIME!. lol of course I just watched them lol.. but Brit did tell me I deserved one because I had 4 tests :) haha. thanks!. :) So... over the weekend.. I had my eye on a piece of candy!. Yum!. Why are things soo bittersweet?!?! Me & LOMLF is wonderful! But the eye candy is an {insider} lol. ugh!. Always something yu want but definitely cant have.. what a controversy!. ugh. lol.. Okay so moving on the Saturday: Attended the homecoming game.. OF COURSE WE BEAT THOSE UTAH AGGIES. UGH. THEY SUCK. if i can recall.. score was lik 44 to 17 or somewhere around there!. But we definitely blew them out although for the past 2 games, our defense have been acting lik they have butter on their finger tips. But i guess the win is all that really matters!. & Now today is Sunday & the plans are set!. oh joy.

OKAY SO CHECK OUT THIS STUPIDITY:

3 TALENTED YOUNG MEN... 2 FRESHMAN, 1 JUNIOR. RIGHT. DECIDE THAT

THEIR "MONTHLY ATHELETIC CHEKCS" ARE JUST NOT ENOUGH

TO KEEP THEM IN THE LASTEST FASHIONS. SO WHAT DO THEY DECIDE TO DO?

HOW ABOUT... GOING TO SPARKS, NEVADA TO A NEW STORE "SHEILDS."

I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE OR ALL OF THEM. BUT THEY HAD THIS BRIGHT IDEA

THAT IT WOULD BE JUST FINE TO STEAL & OF COURSE THEY WOULDN'T GET CAUGHT.

WRONG....

THESE FOOLS... GET CAUGHT STEALING ED HARDY & WHATEVER ELSE IT WAS THEY WANTED!. OH GREAT. 3 PLAYERS... ONE HAS STARTED ALL OF BUT ONE GAME SINCE HIS COLLEGE CAREER. & THE OTHER 2 KIDS HAVE NEVER EVEN PLAYED A COLLEGE GAME... MIND YU, HADN'T EVEN HAD THEIR FIRST "OFFICIAL" BASKBETBALL PRACTICE. WAIT & THE JUNIOR DRIVES A 300.. HOW HE GONNA PAY FOR THAT NOW?? UGH. PARENTS?? DISAPPOINTED I KNOW!. SO ANYWAY. TO SAY THE LEAST. they are now SUSPENDED & who knows if they are still going to get those checks every month. It was all over the local news. espn & everywhere. They not only had to apologize to their coaches, teammates, friends, family & whomever else... but thee STATE OF NEVADA!. ugh. how embarrassing right. So my advice to all is: DO NOT RISK LOOSING ALL YU MAY HAVE FOR SOMETHING THAT ISN'T EVEN WORTH IT. I WOULD LOVE TO GET THEIR CHECK ONCE A MONTH. HAVE THE LASTEST GUCCI BANDANA [ 4 KRIS ], NEWEST BAGS & WHATEVER ELSE MY LIDL' HEART DESIRED!. I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT STEAL!. SO W/ THAT BEING SAID. PLEASE KEEP YUR HANDS INSIDE OF YOU POCKETS & NO STICKY FINGERS PLEASE & THANK YOU!.

XOXO.

YES I SCREAM.

I am quite ready for this week to be over. Not only is it homecoming week, but I have had midterms since Tuesday!. A test every single day. Ugh. Started w/ Music Appreciation. Substance Abuse & Addiction. Sociology & tomorrow, my testing will finally end w/ Math!. Oh the joy!. I am soo ready for the weekend!. Tomorrow after class I plan on taking after my big sister & attempting to do my own hair. Roller set or whatever you wanna call it. But I do know that I am ready to relax. sleep in til' 12 or 1. Get up & do it all over again!. I think this weekend should be a movie marathon weekend!. We have all had busy & semi-stressful weeks.

This week, I have had a lot on my mind. Everything from: family, school, relationships & so forth. I have a different view on each situation!. Ugh. When I start to think of each of them, I can feel a headache coming on. Ugh. All stress me out to great matters. Family will always be family regardless. School, I can only do my best and expect the best of myself. I feel to succeed and please myself, but I know there are others around that I must please!. Relationship, oh that is one big HEADACHE in itself. Its not so much the LOMLF.. but .. ah.. yeah. ah. thats a topic for another time when I feel lik opening up more & exposing myself to the world!.

arrrrgh. okay so i just had a whole paragraph types & unfortunately something happened to it. it disappeared & i really dont remember what I said nor do i feel lik trying to remember!. so ah. w/ that being said... I AM READY FOR THE WEEKEND!. Homecoming game this Saturday. We better win!. Have me out there in whatever the weather gonna be!.

So w/ all this pointless nonsense being said. I must now go attempt to study for my math test tomorrow.

XOXO.

WHITE STUFF

NEED I SAY MORE? OF COURSE!. SO LETS BEGIN BY SAYING, IT IS OCTOBER 10, 2008... I REPEAT OCTOBER 10, 2008. SKIP THE YEAR BESIDES IT BEING MY FIRST SEMESTER OF COLLEGE! OKAY ANYWAY... CAN SOME PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION OF WHY IT IS SNOWING RIGHT NOW?? I REPEAT RIGHT NOW. I AM SITTING AT MY DESK TYPING THIS IS AND IT SNOW FLURRIES!. NOT ONLY AM I IRRITATED BECAUSE OF THIS SNOW. BUT I WAS AWAKEN FROM MY SLEEP, " OMG ITS SNOWING" screams a a suitemate who is from up here!. c'mon girl. yu have seen snow before. I'M NOT EVEN EXCITED!. & ITS STILL KIDS WALKIN' AROUND IN SHORTS!. WTF???

OKAY SO THAT BEING, I HAD AN APPOINTMENT TODAY AT 6 p.m. TO GET SOMETHING DONE THAT I REALLY WANT. I REALLY WANT TO KEEP MY APPOINTMENT, BUT IF THIS SNOW DOESN'T STOP THEN I AM GONNA HAVE TO RESCHEDULE. REALLY DON'T WANT TO BECAUSE I HAVE GUTS TODAY TO DO IT!. SO I GUESS WE WILL SEE HOW THE REST OF THIS DAY GOES. ALTHOUGH THE SNOW IS NOT STICKING TO THE GROUND. ITS JUST THE FACT THAT ITS SNOWING.. REALLY?? IN OCTOBER?? I GUESS SO.

RENO LIFE!. OVER IT!.

P.S. I am still going home for Thanksgiving/ my birthday!. I'm super thrilled & excited now!. I found an even cheaper ticket & I will be getting home 30 min earlier!. May not seem lik a big deal to me, but it is a big deal to me when I haven't seen mi familia since August 23 to be exact!. I miss the lidl kid & parents!.

LOVE

so the topic of the night is that four letter word that some of us dread sayin, the word some enjoying saying, and the word that means ALOT to each of us.. the word is LOVE! My roomies & I are just sitting here.. mind you, its 12:38 a.m. & just chillin.. So today, I've had some really deep conversations w/ K.M.N.C. while we were here alone. I feel that I am connected to many people in more ways than just one. We share things from growing up, our parents, goals for our future & how we plan to achieve those goals & why we have those goals.. to be able to care for our younger sibling(s) if something were to ever happen to our parents!. So anyway, when A.G.E.M arrived home, we had more meaningful convos & then we began to discuss the MEN IN OUR LIVES: one. my man & A.G.E.M man both live on the EAST COAST!. We cant just get up in the middle of the night & say, "hey, i'm going to see _______".... K.M.N.C man... is a guy who she loves dearly, hates to see him w/ another girl, will cut a bi*ch over him & yeah... but we all decided to come up w/ a list of why we LOVE these men!. So here is part 1 of the list thus far!. I'm not quite sure if there will be a part 2 but lets just say there is a part 1 for now!. We live in the present, dream about the future.. & doing what it takes to live our dream someday!. So here begins the list... WE LOVE these men BECAUSE THEY:
- AMBITIOUS
- GOAL ORIENTED
-SUCCESFUL
-DRY SENSE OF HUMOR
-ATTITUDE
-PERSONALITY
-SENSUAL TOUCH TO OUR SOFT, BEAUTIFUL SKIN
-THE TENDER KISSES
-THE TREATMENT WE RECEIVE FROM THEM
-THE LATE NIGHT PHONE CALLS BEING THAT NONE OF THEM WHERE WE ARE
To say the least, writing this blog is making me tear up because he is sooo far away & he is a part of me that I am missing so badly. He is the one who holds me when I cry or until I fall asleep, give me words of advice & encouragement when I am down, tell me everything is going to be okay when I think its all over, and just that person to not only push me when I am falling behind but shove me & tell me I can't give up. Inspire me to be more than just myself, but BETTER than myself. Go to see my family when I'm not even home & express his love to me. I always dreamt of a fairytale life..never knew if it was going to come true or not... but thus far, I can say that the dream is beginning to come true. HARD-WORK, TRUST, DEDICATION, HONOR, FAITH, LOVE, JOY & THE WANT TO CONTINUE is what has held us together this long. [4 years & counting] and made us stronger than those who thought we would never make it. So.. to conclude... I love him dearly, & I vow to myself to do right by him, fight tempations & know not only what but WHO I have waiting for me.. I LOVE YOU L.N.G.J.


XOXO.

Bliss

I am finally moving forward!.

Yesterday, I purchased my ticket to go home for Thanksgiving/my birthday!. I am sooo utterly happy!. But the best part is ... I got a FANTASTIC DEAL!. Glad I continue to look to find the best deals I can find to get the most with my money!. So to say the least.. I'm not paying $260.. or $23o!. BUT $188.50!. What a steal right!!!!! haha. I am so happy! & the best part is that I get to stay for 5 days!. I was already going to miss a day of class so might as well miss Monday instead of the day before Thanksgiving so I can spend more time with my family!.

I can't wait!. && to complete my utter happiness.... it would be great for the LOMLF to come home for Thanksgiving as well!. He has mentioned it and also going out of town while coming home for only a few days!. haha!. But it would be INCREDIBLE to see him!. That would really make my few days break!.

Oh okay... so btw: Yesterday, the future president of America Obama was at my school. I went to see him!. It was great!. I only got like one good snap shot of him because it was roughly about 12,000 people there and due to the fact I am height challenged... I had to get on my cousin boyfriend shoulders so I could see!. It was a great experience for me!. I hope everyone get out there and vote to make a difference in the world!.
