I don't sound white...

Just a few random thoughts for today (blog title included)...

Why is it that when a person speaks well, and they happen to be black, they're told they sound white? That pisses me OFF. I think the thing of it is is that I don't like ANY stigma being put on me. I don't wanna fit into any box a person may try to put me in. I'm not your average chick, I'm not your average black chick, I'm not your average Rocklander. I've spent quite some time trying to break any stereotype that could be associated with me or any person. Whatever, I don't sound white and if you think so, fuck you. Fuck you up your stupid ass! Moving on...

Ever think you're flyer than you really are? Like, the body you see in the mirror and how you view yourself? I think it's pretty funny how that works out. Like, I see myself in the mirror and think, "I'm a sexy bitch" one day and the next, pick myself apart. I know I have a keen fashion sense and a pretty decent body, but I also know where I can stand to work it out. It's funny cuz I can picture myself in an outfit for FOREVER. Then I try it on and tear myself up. Then I buy it anyway and fall in love all over again. It's weird. Hell, I'M weird!

Well, I handed in my two week notice last week, but I'm staying at the job. At least until I find another one. But, I got a raise, some vacation time and a $500 bonus that I never would've gotten, so I can't complain. More shopping for my ass!!

I'm still in pain from the damn wisdom teeth coming out, but I've been upgraded to Vicodin, so that with some applesauce makes it all better! I love applesauce, it's YUMMY! But I digress...

Nothing too interesting this week. Thinkin' about headin' out to Alabama for Memorial Day with my brother for a mini-getaway. Speaking of my brother, something DID happen this week. Last night.

I was hanging out at Keyia's with my brother and his friend Jamir (16 now, WATCH OUT when he's 25 cuz he's gonna be F-LY!). Jamir was downloading music to make CDs cuz he's off to Chicago, and Chris and I were watching TV. Then I said to Jamir (and I quote), "Corey, you know how to make CDs?"

My brother was staring at me, staring at me, staring at me. I looked back at him and said (what I thought I said the first time around), "Jamir, you know how to make CDs, boo?" Realizing I'd called Jamir Corey, I just laughed and said "Corey's talkin' about me, then." I don't know why it happened, I hadn't spoken to the boy in a couple of days. Still, it was pretty funny. Apparently I was alone in that.

Anyway, later, during the "sounding white" debate, Chris said, "Even your boo said you sound white!" Which I made him repeat, so he said, "Corey even said you sound white."

So I had to let him know Corey was NOT my boo. Cuz he isn't. Not knocking Corey, but that word is reserved for those I hold near and dear to my heart. Like Brian's my boo, Hulse is my boo, Haushalter, Martini, Ricardo, Jude, Wendy, Daphnie, Veronica, all my boos. Hell, La'Keyia's my boo. Corey and I don't know each other like that, my attraction to him may very well be one-sided and we could end up really good friends. Therefore, right now, he's not my boo. I can never say never, but we're talking about right now. Anyway, moving on...

Anyone see that R. Kelly Access Granted for "Trapped in the Closet"? How PISSED were you when they didn't show the video? I was so ANGRY!! And people wonder why I don't watch B.E.T.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I don't sound white. I can enunciate and pronunciate, these do not a white girl make...

I wish everyone a happy, happy weekend (if I don't blog again)! Have a happy, safe and FUN Memorial Day weekend!! I'll be hittin' up all the sales with my hot bonus!! :-D
