About Me

I would rather say alot of the wrong thing and get corrected than live silently ignorant.
Trying to drive my life.
I'm not a wallflower or good at being quiet.
My friends really need to start insisting that I hand over the phone when I am drunk.
My mother was right...my hair is not like white folks and needs more moisture
I often jam to phone waiting music because I am always arguing bills. Fuck them if they think they are getting my money....or at least all of it.
I will stop mid-sentence to react to a song.
I want to be part of a House.
Favorite procrastination measure: Dancing in my room to politically questionable hip hop.
I would like everyone to please take note, my educational status has changed from "in college" to "college graduate"...thank you that will be all.
Words from a friend
"Punctuation girl, your grammar teacher would be proud if you used some."
I'm not sure of alot of things but I am sure I hate prewds and love the below video.

I'd like to meet:

The need, you know that one. Experiences, people, places, etc. that can help me get my needs and wants in a direction. Or just someone who can draw a chocolate concha, with pink sprinkles, on a bike. I want it as my Chicago and me tattoo.

Music:
