Don't Make Me Write A Poem About U

About Me

Just to kill the inquiry, I write (hence the name LYRIC for all those who think it's just about spittin). I was a journalism and an english major, both briefly, because I came to realize that I prefer it RAW. Neva did use outlines or templates. Structure has neva been a key ingredient for me. I write how I think. In essence, eveything is freestyle. Still, as a self-proclaimed writer, edits occur no matter how much I try to fight the urge. I'm currently writing a fiction novel and dabbing in photography ........... OH AND JUST SO U KNOW, IF U REQUEST TO BE MY FRIEND AND U HAVEN'T TAKEN THE TIME TO WRITE ME AN EMAIL, DENIED, DENIED, DENIED, RIGHT FROM THA GATE. NOW, AND HAVE A LOVELY DAY

. . . A n g e l N A r a b i c


My Interests

yeah, tha LADI got spit~game, but as they say therefore, i don't participate in most of the chit-chat. i like conversation to stimulate me, not irritate me

I'd like to meet:

Those who turn pages in my novel, who don't just skim my bookCOVER and surmise shit. I've learned that judgment is universal. We are all guilty because we have to be, to a degree. And because it's the easy way out. This doesn't justify lackadaisical tendencies, however.... Look, it's simple really; some believe 'what u see is what u get'. I say everyone's entitled.... derive from that what u will. In case you're wondering....
You are a Black Coffee
At your best, you are: low maintenance, friendly, and adaptable

At your worst, you are: cheap and angsty

You drink coffee when: you can get your hands on it

Your caffeine addiction level: high What Kind of Coffee Are You?
You Are Midnight
You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits.
Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle.
Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it.
You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends. What Time Of Day Are You?
You Are Lightning
Beautiful yet dangerous
People will stop and watch you when you appear
Even though you're capable of random violence

You are best known for: your power

Your dominant state: performing What Type of Weather Are You?
You Should Be A Poet
You craft words well, in creative and unexpected ways.
And you have a great talent for evoking beautiful imagery...
Or describing the most intense heartbreak ever.
You're already naturally a poet, even if you've never written a poem. What Type of Writer Should You Be?

Movies:

Coming to America is my all-time favorite (comedy) . Boomerrang is comedy too.... Okay, Eddie Murphy flicks PERIOD~~ including his stand-up. He and Richard Prior are the best to ever do it! Just about every Spike Lee Joint~~It's a toss up between Four Little Girls and Mo Betta Blues ...AND School Daze. John Singleton movies~~But if I had to choose just one: Higher Learning. Slam , Love Jones , Harlem Nights, Unfaithful, Last Dragon (still haven't quite figured out what the hell Vanity was singing about but the shit is funny), Queens of Comedy, Untamed heart , A Bronx Tale , The Sweetest Thing, High Art, Lady Sings the Blues, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Bad Boys I & II, Mad Max (ThunderDome), Ray, Conviction, Arlington Road, Finding Forrester , any Samuel L. Jackson Movie, Set it Off, Menace II Society, The Upside of Anger, Sliver, Friday, What's Love Got to do With It (yeah, I said it) & so many more...U get the gist

Television:

ER, The Closer, Hell's Kitchen, The Wire , Boondocks ,Court TV, Nick@Nite with the old episodes of Fresh Prince, Cosby/Different World and Roseanne~~ Can't tell me that shit ain't funny. Alias , The L Word . And can't nobody tell me that Flavor Flav show wasn't Co.Me.Dy! (Fuck a broad named New York. Yeah, I said it. WHAT!) BET be pissing me off (except Best of the Booth and The Chop UP)OH, and u know I gots to see DEF Poetry....Not for the poetry, for Mos Def , with his TALENTED, SEXY,INTELLECTUAL self. Everything else is nonsense. Need to put a chic like me on the screen, if y'all want ratings ;)But usually, I leave the TV off and let a CD spin... How else is a girl gonna write?? YadidaMean!

Books:

Folks don't read anymore. Me; I stays my ass in some section of the bookstore, just try'na get my fix. Personally, I'm into biographies and novels. Everything from Audre Lorde , "Sister Outsider" to Octavia Butler . Sister Souljah, the late BeBe Moore Campbell, Benice L. McFadden, Lolita Files, Zane's Nervous and Addicted, and I KNOW at least somma y'all have read CupCake Brown's Piece of Cake.... These are all entertaining reads. Just know magazines can't tell u shit, but what celebrities are doing or how to diet to no avail.And if you haven't already Assata Shakur is a MUST READ!

Can We Still Be Friends??

Interestingly enough, he knows my boundries are bent where he is concerned. Knows I balance intimacy and celibacy delicately. Knows it's not about love or marriage. Knows it's not about him. Knows all...

Accidental Poet

I guess.... This is not was I was going for, what I was trying to be. I never wanted the responsibility. Several conversations, oberservations, my futile explanations later, I've digested it. Because ...
