Why I love my women's college

French Class 2/25/09

(this entire conversation occurs in French)

Professor: so what kind of movie do you ladies think you would like to star in?

Students after much bickering: romantic movie!

Professor: really? And in the most important scene what would be happening?

Student: Well I could be kissing Jake Gyllenhall under an umbrella, while it is raining.

Professor: But he can't hold you properly while holding an umbrella

Another student: No umbrella, then

Professor: But you will be wet!

Student: No rain then.

Professor: Hmm. I like movies with kisses in the rain though. What will Jake be wearing?

Student: launches into length description...

Professor: ...if anything at all?

Class laughs

Professor: Uggghh, d'accord not naked but topless, no shirt or maybe a white shirt unbuttoned?no no shirt but with blue jeans?

Students: that sounds nice!

Professor: Bon! anything else? I personally prefer moonlight kisses...

Students: oh yeah, that's nice too (giggling)

Professor: Sounds like a good movie! d'accord... what happens next?

All this could not have happened with a guy in the class. Ah. I love my College/Uni.

World Members...

This is the translation a friend gave me for Eyin Aiye.

World Members/Eyin Aiye: referring to all the hateration or underground distaste that is revealed by people at some point. When the hateration or previously hidden beef is revealed the character hated on (or hateree) exclaims Eyin Aiye! or World Members!

SO i now have a straight black weave and all the white people that claimed to have previously loved my afro and/ or braids (so cute and different! in a high squeeky voice) are now telling me that I look great (so classy, sophisticated and professional! in equally high squeaky voice).

To this I reply: Eyin Aiyeeeeeeeee!

So these people can only consider a person 'classy' if they look as close to them as possible. SO my so called friends would not have hired me if they were in a position to decide if I did not have hair that was a facsimile of theirs? Are they serious? 

So before because I left my hair as God intended I looked un-classy. What?

You cannot get away from them world members..hmpf.

What a girl wants

Ladies and gentlemen: i know the answer to this riddle that very few women know the answer to themselves.

What does a girl want?

Love.

It might be love from herself, from men, from her partner or random passersby on the street but its love.

How did I come to this conclusion? 

See this, why do you want to succeed in life? I think it's because you want to be satisfied and still love yourself later in life, or because you want to reinforce your parents/relatives love and pride.

Why do we work out? Because we want to look in the mirror and like what we see or we want to maintain our health, because we love ourselves.

Why is correct answer to 'do I look fat in this' either ' No' if not or 'No, but I like the other one better' if the ass is sticking out of the top of the jeans? because women want to hear a respect for their feelings or love in their friends or loved ones statements...

Think about it.

P.S Guess who I met yesterday!!!! MS Sula (www.freetherapyorelse.blogspot.com) She's SO pretty and dark... ah well.

10 honest things about meee!

I got back to college after about 6 months of being away (for study abroad and other reasons) and found that I am SO behind on my work and recruitment. I've been applying and interviewing for summer internships in a bear market so pray for me ...

Doug tagged me a long time ago on 10 honest things about myself so I'll do that now...

1. I have just realised that I have no idea what I want to do with my life and I'm 20 years old. I used to want to be an Investment Banker, something that is now seeming a poor choice...

2. I have not had a friendly conversation with my father in 3 months and i don't hate him. Our relationship just broke down as a result of several real or imagined slights on both our parts.

3. I think I am happiest when I live apart from my family-we just get along better over the phone...

4. I am really really scared of being fat. Almost obscenely so. But I love eating. lol

5. I am terrible at keeping in touch and some people think I'm fighting with them when the fact is I really never got around to writing that email-but I would never hesitate to help friends who email me out of the blue.

6. I go to a women's college. Yes they exist. Yes, they offer obscenely priced education in exchange for being cooped up in a nunnery. Yes, most times I love it. No, I'm not gay. And it really helps the cause for celibacy though.

7. I used to have a blog but then I abandoned it...then I promised not to abandon this one ever even if I leave for an extended period...

8. I love reading blogs ahhh, and i feel nerdy while doing it...so i call my real world friends just to remind myself they exist.

9. I am geeky in love with Economics. 

10. I am single *wink*

I am so sorryyyyy!

I did say I was not going to go anywhere so. look out for me pretty soon!

As you like it

Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I dont,
Each time I do
My heart could split in two

Sometimes I miss you,
Most times I don't
But when I do,
the memories begin to fail.

Sometimes I miss you
but often I don't
when i do,
I immediately don't.

Legend...wait for it...

...ARY!!*

2009. 

It's coming...

I wonder what it will be like.

2008 has to have been my Best Year Ever.

I went to 5 countries (6 if you include transits)

I made friends who I love even when I'm fighting with them

I saw the Lion King and Wicked live at the theatre in London

I fell in love even though it didn't work out

I felt truly beautiful for the first time

I grew as a person and learnt to understand my limitations

I got this place to experiment with my writing :)

I was happy.

I pray 2009 will be better for me and for everyone reading this...

This is also for every one going through a hard time at the moment. 2007 was horrible for me and if I had given up, I would never have experienced this truly amazing amazing year. It wasn't always easy as my previous depressing posts will show, but on the whole, my memories consist of a warm happy feeling...

I believe next year can be that year for you, if you let it

*Neil Patrick Harris on HIMYM brought that phrase to my attention
