My great grandmom used to have all sorts of magnets on her fridge. The alphabet paled in comparison to the food, drink and other shapes that stuck magically, in my mind, to the door. I'd play with those shapes for hours, sometimes using them as accessories to my Barbie games. Leave a message on my fridge...if you can spell. LMAO. I'm just kidding. Kinda.

My Interests

So many! Music, books (reading them and writing them. One day I'll put a chapter or two in my blog...wait on it), magazines (reading them, writing for them, one day editing them...), people, African American culture and families, my siblings, yoga, the AU, so much stuff I can't even put it all out here

I'd like to meet:

Angela Y. Davis, bell hooks, Toni Morrison, Gwen Stefani, Omar Tyree, Jane Pratt and Sigmund Freud...but until they call me back I'd like to talk to all of you nice people out there

Music:

Wow, I like a little bit of everything. I would like to BE Gwen Stefani. Isn't that funny? Seriously, though, I like a little bit of everything, and there isn't anything I wouldn't listen to. I love love love old school music, Marvin Gaye, the Stylistics, Smokey Robinson...Motown pretty much makes my day. I also like jazz, I'm a big Billie Holiday fan and I like Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughn, Bessie Smith...ya know, the greats. I'm a HUGE Jay Z fan, most people that know me know that and I think that's funny. Who else? A bunch of people that don't even go together but you can catch in my rotation at almost any time of day. Dana Dane, Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew, D Nice (...is just a description), Boogie Down Productions, bunch of old heads. Lauryn Hill, of course, Amel Larrieux, PRINCE ( I cannot EVER forget Prince, Adore is the best song EVER) and of course 2Pac. Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, The Roots, believe me, there's more. This list is annotated.

Movies:

I LOVE movies, but my collection has been slight lately. I gotta get back on that.

Television:

I don't watch much tv because I'm hardly ever home, but if I was home I'd be an MTV junkie. If someone could keep me up on the Real World and Road Rules I'd be eternally grateful. To supplement, I've started collecting what I call "TV on DVD" so that by the time I have children, they won't have to watch CRAP, they can watch stuff I LIKE!!! I've got all of Sex and the City on DVD, you should know that's my favorite modern show, Girlfriends and Grey's Anatomy tie for a close second though. I also watch soap operas as though I'm some sort of upper middle class hoursewife...General Hospital is like Goodfellas with a more attractive cast. I'm working on Mary Tyler Moore, Felicity, The Jeffersons, Good Times (even though that show is kinda depressing if you don't look at it from a sociological perspective), Speed Racer and Thundercats.

Books:

Reading is like breathing to me, so it's tough for me to pick one favorite. I gave it a try, and here's what I came up with:

Heroes:

The women who raised me: Thirkield Young, Iris Roebuck, Sophia B. Packard, Harriet E. Giles, Mary Lou Allison Gardner Little, Dorothy Hanley Whiteside, Vivian Irene White Marbury, Nannie Mae Gahn Johnson, Hattie Mae Annette Dulin Redford, Bessie Mae Downey Rhodes Martin and Cubena McClure.

My quarter-life semi-crisis

Lately some of my friends have been embarking on these "grown up" developments in life, and as I'm looking at 25 next month, I'm wondering if I'm supposed to be doing the same. Mikey's getting married...

Just out of curiosity

Why is it that the school year has just started for most young people, and there's already numerous reports of young girls being attacked near campus? So far, I've personally written about a 14-year-o...

I've still got my icebox, but it's melting a little bit

The way things change

I've been single for about a year and some change now, and I'd resolved myself to an existence of work and random play. I think I did a pretty good job of mustering up whatever it takes to dust yourse...
