dreams

i'm not much of a dreamer.

but lately i've been having really vividly awesome dreams.

last night i dreamt i was casting the devil out of someone....i guess like an exorcism.

the other night i had a dream that i received a letter from this place i interviewed at a long time ago. in the dream, the letter stated that the company saw a lot of potential in me and they wanted to help me get off to a good start in my career. they also wanted me to work there and i had to start at the new position very very soon. such a mean dream.

what does all this mean?

in other news, i've ordered bangs...clip in bangs to be exact. i want a new look for fall and don't want to cut bangs (i get tired of them about 2.2 seconds after i get it cut), but shhhhh it's a secret!

words i hate

so i received critiques on my first collection of poetry and honestly, it wasn't that bad. i was expecting to be torn apart, but i wasn't. i'm so excited and already can't wait to continue work!

being a writer and english major i've come to hate the word juxtaposition. it makes me cringe. whenever i'm in a group of writers/ english majors/ faux philopshers that word comes up about 601 times. i only mention this because as i was anticipating some of the comments about my work i was guessing what each person in my group would say, you know, their trademark comment. without fail, the one guy i pegged for saying "juxtaposition" wrote that word in his critique.ugh!

other words i hate:

literally (it's so misused among my generation)
moist
recession
phrase-in this economy
deposit (a job thing)

what are some words that you hate?

what i'm loving right now

i'm really loving chrisette michelle right now!


(i wished i looked like this everyday!)

and maxwell!



here's my fave song from his black summer night....enjoy

Bad Habits - Maxwell

he's going to be in atlanta on october 5th at phillips....would love to go :)

another travel season

september is quickly approaching and you all know what that means......
admissions. travel. season.

admittedly, i'm not excited about it nor did i see myself gearing up for another(4th) year of travel.

sigh.

but it is what it is.

this summer has actually been a bit busy for me and i've barely had time to just sit and think. now that i think about it....i haven't even taken a vacation....

yet!



vegas!!!


i mentioned in a post a loooooong time ago that me and my sis were planning a trip there (at her insistence) to celebrate her college graduation. vegas is totally happening in 2 weeks (bought the plane tickets earlier this week). a bit late, but nonetheless i will be shaking my ass in vegas for labor day weekend so i guess i will have a little bit of fun before the reality of my job surfaces.

i'm back....if only for a moment

whew! i turned in my first poetry submission. i'm glad that's over...well, if only for a little while. this week we receive critiques from our workshop members....i'm so nervous! then we will receive criqitues from our instructor....ugh!!! and then we do it all again next month.

i will be a bit absent until august 15th. the date of my first poetry submission is looming so i want to focus what's left of my energy and creativity to this project.
