So sad

I wonder what people say behind my back. I hear a lot of things that may apply to me when people talk about others behind their back, for example, when someone sees a girl with nappy hair and says, “Can she even get a comb through it?” I feel bad that I don’t say anything but I feel that even if I said anything they wouldn’t listen anyway. Is it wrong of me not to say anything? People are going to think what they want, even if I try to correct them this time. My words don’t have any power in high school and that saddens me.

Two Outfits

School Spirit

My school colors are grey and blue and I thought it would be cute if my Outfit of the Day showed school spirit.

Summer plans?

Since I refuse to get a digital camera because my phone takes sexy pictures, I plan to buy clothes.

I'm going to buy summer clothes while they're undesirable at the moment. It's hard finding my size during the summer. I plan to get some off the shoulder shirts, shorts, floral/lace tights, and accessories.

Gotta make the summer before I turn eighteen something special.

I need to do college visits this summer and I want to go to the beach and amusement parks and just have fun. If you don't know me, I tend to stay home and just watch kids all summer. It's not exactly what I want to do with my summer.

Hair Regimen

I thought it was important to address what I do to my hair.

Shampoo: VO5 Moisturizing Milk Shampoo
Conditioner/Co-wash - VO5 Moisturizing Milk Conditioner
Moisturizer - Palmer's Coconut Oil Hair Milk
Gel: Olive Oil Eco-Styler Gel

This may not seem much now but those are my staples. As a high schooler, I don't have the money to go out and buy whatever I want at the moment so local beauty supply stores and Walmart are my friend.

I wash every two weeks and co-wash every two/three days, depending on my mood. Every time I co-wash, I detangle with my shower comb. I just ordered my Denman Brush D3 and I can't wait to use it to define my curls or even just to get rid of shed hair after co-washes.

My favorite hairstyles to wear are my simple afro, an afro puff, or a pompadour/fro hawk. My hair isn't long enough for longer hairstyles, but I can't wait to try them. I'll add twists and twist-outs to my list once I'm comfortable with how it looks.

Outfit of the Day

Remember the guy from my 'Fail of the Day' post? Well I finally asked him for his name and I heard the An but I can't remember if it was Andrew or Andre.. The worst part about forgetting his name is that I can't ask him for his name again or that would be rude. He's known my names since November and I just now had the right mind to ask for his. I'm a wreck. Maybe I'll slowly walk past him when he's talking to a friend.
Fingers crossed!

Outfit of the Day

2 months

It's been 2 months since I cut my hair and I'm happy with the progress. I started with about 1-2 inches of hair and it had grown and inch since November which is the average growth (1/2 inch a month).

I did a twist out and I'm happy with the way it looks.

My grandfather

He died December 2, 2010. His birthday is January 16th; he would of been 75 years old. That's in three days. I wanted to write all the good things about him.

He loved to play the piano and was very patient with me when I asked him to teach me how to play, even though I ended up quitting.

He used to cut up sugarcane, which I loved to eat. Now, it just sits in the kitchen, uncut because no one can cut it.

He always tried to teach my sister and I a lesson, even when it was obvious that we didn't want to hear his mouth.

I wouldn't continue but my eyes are watering from remembering him. I hope he's happy wherever he is and watching us. I hope to one day learn creole and successfully learn how to play the piano in his honor.

Three snow days

Snow Day!

Snow Storm?

Supposedly, it's supposed to snow tonight, into tomorrow. Someone told me it would be 5-7 inches of snow.. I'll believe it once it happens. So far, no snow. I'll check the school's website and outside before I get dressed. I hate when I find out when I'm standing outside. If there is snow and ice on the road... No school.

 I also dyed my blonde part, red. Like a cherry red.

I hanged out with Baby J all day. I would be an awesome teen mom if I dropped out of school.  I only have a year and a half left of school. I'm defiantly, not planning on being a mother anytime soon.

Baby J

Funny facial expression

He looks inspired.

He's cutest when he's sleeping.

Obsession: "Ok, It's Alright With Me" by Eric Hutchinson

Fail of the day

I went to my school's library and there is this student helper who just loves my last name and every time I check-in to the library, he says my name. Today, I was eating sour patch straws and I had one in my mouth and he said, "Hey Beautiful, how's your day going." I was looking down at the paper, writing my name and I awkwardly tried to say good but it just came out as a incoherent word. He paused and stared at me before laughing, "I guess that means good." I looked up at him and smiled as I nodded my head. As soon, as I took out the candy from my mouth I said later and ran over to my friend, to embarrassed to try to talk to him after that slip up.

Marry who?

I heard some disturbing news today about this guy that likes me… One of his friends on the bus told me that he said that he’s said that he’s going to marry me… My first thought to this was that I'm not going to know him past high school so what makes him think that I’m going to marry him? 

I have no clue if this is true or not but I rather not know.. I told the dude that told me that…

I hate obsessive people.

It’s high school! If you haven’t even dated a person yet, please don’t claim that you’re going to marry someone that you barely know!

He didn't let me take a picture by myself so you get to see Irving Josiah "Jojo" B. Jr.

Obsession: Candy Pop ft. SOUL'd OUT by Heartsdales

I used to be in love with anything Asian in middle school. I found this song and fell in love with it. I have half of it memorized.

Compliment and a bad conversation

Today was my first day back to school and it was an ok day. I received homework but that was expected.
Two of my friends said that my hair looked bigger so I'm glad it looks like it's growing (because it is!).
The sucky part of my day was in 5th period. This guy asked me if I'm going to straighten my hair again. I told him that there is no point in doing that when it's short but maybe when it's longer and for a day or two. He asked why for such a short time and I said, "I want big hair, that's why I cut it." He then said that he liked it straight better and I just said thanks and told him too bad because I'm leaving it likes this. He asked, "What if your boyfriend wanted you to straighten your hair?" I shrugged my shoulder and told him that he shouldn't be my boyfriend if he doesn't like my hair like this.
The nerve of him to say such a thing.. It's my hair, why are you worried about it?
