As some of you may know, or have gathered...I'm single. Been that way since early 2005. I've given love a shot, only to GET SHOT in the back by dudes who were just trying to take me too fast. Don't get me wrong, I've had encounters, and kissed a few lips since then. But nothing beats a relationship, and knowing that your heart belongs to someone and vice versa.

I haven't failed in anything yet (in my opinion), and a relationship is the last thing I want if I'm not COMPLETELY ready for it...but...companionship would be NICE...

On a softer note, since this is not a rant...there is this guy...OMG is he fine!! I don't know if it's his looks or his swagger, but he definitely has SOMETHING that attracts me. He's not light-skinned (which I have a thing for, call me shallow...), and he's NOT tall (but I'm not biased to tall dudes, I usually go for average height anyway). So what is it?

The guy has the MOST GORGEOUS SMILE I've ever seen on a caramel dude (my second favorite skin tone on a guy). He carries himself with the highest confidence and self-esteem. His hair is gorgeous...makes me think he has some Indian in him somewhere down the line. And even after a car accident that left scars on his face, he's still HOTT STUFF!

Doesn't hurt that his folks have stacks on deck either...but it's not even about that. What gets me is his swagger and persona. And I'm not the only girl who's noticed it! Me and my homie Monie used to fight over him ALL the time (in jest). And she claims she "gives up" and I can "have" him...we'll see!

But for real, dude is a SITE FOR SORE EYES! And he is BUILT...and he seems like a genuinely nice person. But I'll never know until I have a convo with him. He seems so unapproachable and so NOT ON MY LEVEL...he's a socialite, if you will. But hey...something's gotta give. And he showed interest in my by...well if I said that, I'd be giving him away, so I'll hush. But yeeahhh...He know what's up!! I believe things will change for him and I this semester...I just got that feeling...

About Me

Note: I'm going to treat this blog as if it were my actual paper diary, so if you don't likey, you can keep it movin...comprendez-vous? Bien!

Anyway, I thought I'd do a post going into a little detail about me and my life, and where I'm coming from and trying to go.

I grew up in the South, Alabama to be exact, reppin the capital city to the fullest. I started going to private school at the age of 2 and stayed at this same school until I was 14 1/2. After leaving said school, I got my first taste of public school my 9th grade year, and I can honestly say that it was THE BEST school year of my life! Since the public school I attended was a "junior high", I left the next year, and attended a magnet school. This particualr magnet school is one of the best in the state, and IMO THE BEST in my city!!! 10th grade year was very challenging and my grades were proof of that. I went from making straight A's and B's to making a D here and there. 11th grade year was pretty tough too, but a certain teacher (my English teacher), provided me the skills I would need to get thru 12th grade Britt Lit and my first two semesters at college.

By 12th grade year (which was probably my second best year of secondary school), I was just ready to get the hell up outta high school. The underclassmen seemed so small, and the dreams of me and all my classmates seemed too big to hold in that small, old ass building! We were ready to break FREE!!!

It should be mentioned that by 8th grade, I already knew what school I wanted to go to. And by 11th grade year, when we had to start applying (Magnet schools get a move on), my school of choice was the ONLY one I applied to. While friends were filling out apps to 5,6,7 colleges, I was content with my one, and in my heart, I knew that was where I was going to be.

I received my acceptance letter to the University of Alabama at Birmingham in late October, early November of 2005. After graduation my dream became a reality when I attended New Student (Freshman) Orientation in late June of '06! I KNEW I was in LOVE with the school the moment my mom's trailblazer rolled into B'ham and we saw the signs with "UAB" on them...I was SOOO HAPPY!! :-)

I made Dean's List both semesters, was invited to and joined Alpha Lambda Delta (Freshman Honor Society), and participated in and LOVE UAB's GOSPEL CHOIR, headed by Bishop Kevin P. Turner!!! My freshman year was a blast, but know what?

I think sophomore year is gonna be EVEN BETTER! And stuff is already falling into place. One of my good friends I made freshman year is coming back up with a car (yes we were car-less first year), my homie BJ has a car and can drive down from Tennessee to see me over SB, I move into a new dorm and get my own room! So je suis content!

But to my future plans (academic-wise)...well, my major is Biology. I'm minoring in French and Chemistry. My favorite classes in school have been my two English Comp classes (love, love, love my 101 teacher). I want to master in forensic science and hopefully become a lab tech/ DNA analysis specialist some day...can you tell I like CSI...I love it (the original)! All day, baby, all...day....

My long term goals are to become closer to Christ. Have a better relationship with my little brother (cuz we loathe each other at the present moment), get married, and have 3 children...

That is all...
