About Me


*About Me*
My name's Latoya, but old friends call me Lattie. I'm 20 and I sorta attend VCU in Richmond, Va. (As in I'm on my halfway-done break) Right now I'm on the path of Print Journalism, but that's bound to change to English within the next year. I like writing and talking and thinking. I'm kind of a spaz. I like to have fun and I suck at being good, but I like to think I do have morals. I have a love/hate relationship with life... Eventually I'll put a survey or something up here.

My Interests

Ummm, writing. All kinds of writing. And with that comes the interest in books. I've always been completely obsessed with VC Andrews and Christopher Pike. Recently I've really gotten into Chuck Palahniuk. I like Dickens and Jules Verne and Oscar Wilde. I like guitar cuz it's one of the few things I don't get bored with easily. I like putting together a bunch of junk and calling it craftwork. I keep scrapbooks. Not organized or anything, but they're interesting. And I LOVE taking pictures. But not pictures of me. I can't ever make myself smile for a camera. I like to have fun. I like laughing and my friends do a good job of making sure I do so often. I spend a lot of time chillaxing. Ummm. More later, maybe.

I'd like to meet:

Coffee and Cigarettes

Jake and I got back together since I last wrote. (Duh.) And then I got pregnant and had an abortion and I haven't forgiven him and I probably never will, but I'm still with him because I love him and ...

Just a Note

For everyone that was concerned about our sick kitty Niko, I wanted to post that he died this morning. We buried him in the backyard and had a little funeral. Just thought people would want to know.

Whatever it was I always did

I've had a hellish past week. Not that things have been BAD, just really not good. Little disputes with my best friends, working when I don't wanna, classes when I don't wanna... You know how that goe...

The point was fast, but it was too blunt to miss

It feels like I don't ever have time to speak to people. What am I even doing with all of my time? I'm so sick of coming and going all the time. I'm always on the way to work or class or 106 or to get...

Character Flaws

Okay, so I've been reading this book and I said to myself, "Damn, I'm a lot like that" about every other page which is probably fucked up since it's about a coke addict. I am constantly having to remi...

I need a fix, cuz I'm going down.

Blahblahfuckingblah! I'm supposed to be at work, but I'm not, so I'm just sitting in my little sister's room wasting away my life. Chester's just so boring. And I don't think my Chester friends even ...

Random Things

I should probably start writing in this thing. So what am I thinking about? I'm thinking boys are idiots and it sucks when you like two cuz the right guy always does something stupid to make you think...
