tuesday talk

Can you believe it's half way through February?! Jeez. This past weekend is still kinda a blur. I think I may have gotten 10 hours a sleep between Thursday night and Saturday lol. My Valentine's Day was cool! I visited my bestests :) and one came back with me to school. we had a great time laughing our ass' off. I went to bed Sunday night at 930. Lol my lifestyle has to change. I did go see Friday the 13th. It was stupid. 

Yesterday in my rocks lab (lol its a component to a really boring geology class) my lab instructor asked if anyone was from my home town of Raleigh! I raised my hand so high lol he was asking because we were looking at certain rock that is really abundant and named after a road in Raleigh...lead mine road! hollaaa

anyways, it's so funny because I gas up Raleigh like it's the best place in North Carolina. Well, to me it is at least (sometimes). I met a guy and he picked on me because all I talked about was Raleigh this and Raleigh that! Regardless, I was also super excited because I'm finally goiing HOME this weekend. 

I havent been home in a month- that's a long time for me and my schedule is hectic as hell so it seems like double that. I'm actually going many more places than Raleigh this weekend so if I'm you're in the area....call me, my world tour might just stop in your area :)

i cant wait to get home and

see my sis!!!! i miss her alots <3

kiss my daddy and mommie.

see my bests!!!!! yayy lol this pic is a throwback

im also looking forward to hopefully eating sushi at kanki yummmmm

sleeping in MY bed

seeing my other friends 

and just relaxing. maybe.

i'm going to class in a little bit, so i'm outta here! have a great day.

procrastination at it's best.

I have a stat test tomorrow!!! i should be studying right now but...i'm not! lol i'm psyched about Carolina's win tonight. I'm may be going to the next Duke at Carolina game..yum :) 

here are some pics from the AMM vault!

i think this was actually a snow day at school...no one really had class so we chilled in our favorite hangout spot! this is one of my shawtyhunnies and me!

auntie val and me! why does everybody like stealing my scarf? my sis gave it to me from Italy! i love it, i got really scared because i left it at a party a few weeks ago, but i went back and it was there. whew.

o, that's just me. the other day i was craving some chips. so i bought tortilla chips because they were on sale. also, i was thinking i had salsa in my apartment and i didnt. so i was kinda disappointed.

chello little kiddies!!!
Can you believe it's about to be Christmas? I can't. I've somehow attempted to do a few rounds of Christmas shopping...my choice is going to the malls late before the doors close! Although the malls have had some great sales, I had to get a few treats for myself including a fabulous New Year's dress :) Thanks Recession!!!!

My sister is finnnnnnnnnnnnalllly home. We've celebrated a little, but her little body needs to rest so we should be picking up soon. Including Kanki tonight :) yum.

Since I've been home...i have:

• yet to unpack my two suitcases

-i've taken over the guest bedroom, it really looks like a hurrican come through

• openned lots of christmas cards with pics of little white children i dont know

-although i got the sweetest Christmas card from a friend from high school!! i almost cried

• driven alot.

-Hondie hit mile 200,000 on my way from Charlotte!!

• unfortunately been given alot of TRASH from alot of people

-what's up with that?! i know

• frooze my butt off!

-It dropped from 60 degrees to about...20

• saw Seven Pounds!!

-dont tell my sis or mom, I was supposed to go with them! It was good tho, you should go see it too!

okay. ciao. and happy holidays.

it's a little dusty around these parts

yea...i had to pull out the duster for this post!!!

i know i've been quite rude to my blog, but there's been alot going on! Excuses excuses i know, but at one point I didn't even have a monitor for my computer lol and it was the week before I had a 20 page paper due. Thank gosh I have that paper out of my hands now...

Anyways, I'm soooo ready to go home. Although I've been home quite a bit over the last few weeks because of Thanksgiving, and some other things, I'm really ready to just unpack my bags for real. I hate living out of a suitcase. My Turkey day break was a teaser because I was home for like...5 days, but most of that time I was doing work work and more work. My exams have barely started, so I'll be in school the next few days while all my friends are chillin at home :(

I guess the good thing is, my sister will be home 3 days after I get home! I'm beyyooonnnddd excited. I guess the anticipation of her coming back has got me missing her extra these last few weeeks.

It's gonna be a great Christmas! My sister will be home, my little cousin who had leukemia early this year will be here, my Aunt from NY will be here and everyone else!! It's gonna be fabulous. and fat. lol

I told myself I was gonna do nothing but study the next few days, because 1, i study really slow and 2, i get easily distracted so I have to start extra early lol so I'm gonna get on it..
ciao! have a great weekend.

i'm going to take a bath in my apartment for the firs time tonight. not like bathing, but the kinda bath where you feel the bathtub up and sulk and think and relax until your fingernails get gooey.

the last week has been rough! It's November so if anyone else is in college you know that = crunch time. nevermind the 4382904893 things i'm involved in as of late... I have a 20 page paper due on December 3. I have 4 pages. i'm sooo ready to go home for Thanksgiving. It's so odd that me and my sister are feeling the same way worlds apart.

i would start a countdown until i come home again, but that'd just make it worse. my parents might be coming up to see me next week?! but i'm not gonna hold my breath...

bathtime.

you ready, B?!?

hey kiddies!!!

sorry i've been MIA, school is hectic  and busy at times, but i'm making it!

i'm going to kansas city Wednesday for a Convention! I'm excited.  I was kinda upset because they do Halloween big here at colleges here in NC (not mine bc my school is WACK! get that later), I was planning on visiting my friends or seeing Lil'Wayne in concert at home but...he cancelled the concert (surprise.) so I guess I didn't have to decide.

 my plan for Kansas City is to: 

1. sleep in every day

2. go to my minimum of 3 workshops a day

3. live it up

although i'm living the broke college life as of late because my checks from my job this summer have stopped coming. I don't know whats really in Kansas City, i wiki'd KC but I didnt find much lol i was told they had good barbeque?

Yea..my school is so wack! Joe Biden was on campus last week for a public rally and the school didn't think it was important to tell the students. What's up with that? And the Beastie Boys, Cheryl Crow and Santogold were doing a rally on campus today. I really wanted to see Santogold, but I had class...I later found out she didn't show up so I wasn't too upset.

I don't know about you but I feel like Thanksgiving is sooooo far away. I miss my friends and my families soo much it makes no sense. I've been trying to talk to my Mom like everyday lol but I dont think she is getting the point

I can't believe my sister has been in Italy for almost 2 months! I talked to her last night! I miss her muchos grandes.

It's really cold here in Charlotte! I need someone to cuddle huggle with (sigh)

i have a test tomorrow boooo but after that I'll probably be preparing to head outfor my trip this week! hollaaaaa

i'm gonna try my bestest to blog from KC! If not..check my twitter on the left up top!

3 days 'til home

my car died this weekend. well not like forever, but currently.

i can't get to my internship in the morning. i have people i can call but I feel bad telling someone to come pick me up at 7:30.

but i laughed.

laughed 'til it hurt.

(not really about my car bc i actually almost cried about that bc i was so frustrated)

did alot of work.

did little sleeping.

ready to go home, need to go home, wanna go home.

not sure what to expect for my fall break, no real plans yet but i guess i like it that way.

i miss my sister! and you. and you. and maybe you too lol

        

here's one pic of the weekend. see me on the end? it was like 3 am i was ready to go to sleeeeeeeep! and oddly when i got back to my apartment...i couldn't.

have a great week.

guess who's bizzack

I started school last week and it's been crazy busy here around these parts! Between moving into my apartment, planning and executing lots for my university's Black Student Union and telling my sister bye :(, i've been quite busy. I have to admit, I have been working hard and think its gonna be great year!!!

My Labor Day weekend was very pleasant spent some much time needed with many of my girlfriends, my family and some other special kiddies :) well one but whatever.

For those just tuning in...my sister left for Italy on Tuesday of this week! She's gonna be gone for farr too long so I promised her many pics throughout the next few months. Here are a *few* of me and some of my favorite people back here in Charlotte....

i don't know why i was hiding in the closet?!?!?

tasi and me!!!

Val, my co-editor and me!! I guess we are flexing our under pressure muscles?! Because we were definietly up to a quickly approaching deadline. Our first issue of our BSU Black Perspective Magazine was a hit! Hopefully we'll have a online version soon....

Tasmin and me again! it was her bday hence the tiara...happybirthdaybabe

okay, i think i'm done here.

ciao.

i miss you already sister.

i promised you pictureful blogs in the next couple of months in your absence.

as soon as i get a camera. and time to blog again.

have a great trip.

love, 

adrianne

dear summer

to you forever...from me to you:

Thanks Mr. West, for kicking off the summer with the one of the best concert's ever...and supplying my motto for summer '08: "grab a drink, holla at some (boys) and party b*tch!!!" which became amazingly true! lol

to my sis...(who is obviously too cool for this earth by looking at this pic) for giving me a place to crash! and many fun times and hillarious stories..please don't leave.


my job in the financial aid office at wtcc...made my heart weak when i became numb to sob stories and people who couldn't afford education, or my heart hurt when 21 year old single mothers were being shipped to iraq with a weekend's notice. nevertheless, it kept my mind strong.

although our seperation this summer was painful..the occasional random midweek sleepovers made me forget it all. This summer made me a few of those moments where I realized we were beyond best friends esp when I realized how hurt I was when you got your tattoo without me and when I couldn't sleep until you got back that morning in VA beach! It's gonna be a great year for us both...no worries.

didn't see you much this summer but we'll make it back here someday...maybe we can use the field to take off on my spaceship?

from running sprints on the moving sidewalks in the airport to you just making it with your broken ankle...stop worrying. You're gonna take Duke by a (red)storm. Just as long as you bring your t-shirt...

how come we were mutual friends of our 580489 friends for so long?? Don't know if I would have made it this summer without ya...that's a fact. I love you more than Ms.Annette, Goldilocks and Ms. Bev love cigs! Tell ECU to be ready when I come down and give them the business...

My only friend from school who came to visit me this summer! You were the specialest guest we ever had at $4 Tuesdays...can't wait to see you again

my girls...

we didn't get one shot together this summer since the camera died! but....

thanks for the long nights...sometimes too long lol

uber sexiness

true friendships/girltalks/dr*nk talks/heartachetalks/celeberations/tazewell suites to traveling pants times!

and overall, dear summer, thanks for reminding me

good people...

good food..

and good drinks...never goes outta style.

(special thanks to HondieBoo for getting me thru 2,000+ miles this summer!)

"im done for now

so one for now

possibly forever, we had fun together

but like all good things, we must come to an end

please show the same love to my friends

dear summer"

my turn.

ten random things about me:
1. When I'm really concentrating on something or really busy, I roll my tongue like crazy. If you see my lips pursed or my half my mouth sucked in, I'm probably at work.
2. On the nights I don't go out during the week, I go to bed at 10:30. I have to sleep.
3. Unlike KarrieB, I'm horrible at taking compliments! I always respond with..." I'm tryna be like you!" or.."Really? Your dress is gorgeous too."
4. I swear on Proactiv.
5. To avoid thinking about something I shouldn't or don't want to think about, I say "not helpful" in my mind.
6. I get headaches really really easily! Strong perfumes, too much caffeine, bright lights, hunger...etc.
7. I have oddly accurate concept of time. I can wake up to the minute. Never use an an alarm clock at school.
8. My birthmark is eerily similar to the shape of the continents of Africa and Asia!! lol
9. I hide the food I buy from my family in my sis' old bedroom or hard to reach places in the freezer! That and my (small) stash of liq.
10. As much as I pick on my sister's' granny panties...I rather wear Vickie's bikini's any day than a thong as of late.

nine ways to win my heart
1. "just what i need you to do --stroke my hair"
2. don't jolt when you find out i pick my nose
3. pure sugah...no artificial sweetners here.
4. good morning texin messages
5. read me without words
6. tip toe with me to the sun
7. be knowledgeable of global/local issues! watch the news with me
8. tell me something(s) i don't know...which may be hard to do with me :)
9. listen.

8 thing I'd like to do before I die
1. live in london/paris for a least a year! not forever because my best friend/family will be too far

everything is everything

I've been busy! I really have...I feel like my summer is coming close to an end, so I'm enjoying it and of course, I work hard so I feel obligated to play hard(er). I do feel kinda bad because I've turned in one of those people who takes weeks to return calls and have been meaning to make time for people who want to see me before I go back to school.

It's summer. I'm young...and enjoying it! Here are pics from the past week!
