Brother and Ball

So my little brother grew out his hair for some reason unknown to me. In fact, both of my little brothers did. It was pretty legit, but I begged Jayden to cut his. Finally... he did!

Before...

AFTER!!!!!!

I mean talk about stud muffin!!!

******************

In other great news... I went to a ball with my buddy, Jeffrey!

Grammy Gab

My mini fashion recap:
Diddy dear- times must be tough cuz that jacket looks like you went shopping in bieber's closet. Two sizes too small darling.
Miss Miley Cyrus- i love your raw personality, but it looks like you put on a few pounds. You look healthy, but the dress you chose was fitted for your 12 year old body. Please cover the new additions asap.
K Perry- what's up with the wings? your sweet grandma is the only angel that i see around here.
Rihanna- how many doves were murdered in the making of your dress? Maybe you could borrow Katy's wings and fly like a bird cuz that dress is Not fit for the red carpet.
I think the theme was *wear something that does not fit you but would fit you ten pounds ago.
On the other hand.... the couples looked fantastic! JLo and Marc, Heidi and Seal. Lookin good.

Now I loved the performances
Christina A went appropriately with the aforementioned theme. Jennifer Hudson was a freaking fox. The red head didn't get the 'wear a black dress' memo- how embarrassing.

The jbieb jsmith usher performance- looovvveeeddd it! usher sounded out of breath- poor guy is gettin old. i am a new found jbieb fan, but if you ask me- mister smith owned it. oh how i wish he was 15 years older.... haha. i am in love with the smith family. My fave part of this performance: the michael jackson-esque dance moves and costumes. Let the legend live on!

Now lets talk Lady Gaga.... the girl tries too hard! i mean honestly. But ridiculousness aside, i LOVED her performance. Not so much for her, but her dancers were fantastic! She can't even get on the right foot... but i seriously appreciated the choreography.

seriously!?

let the venting begin... (please do not read unless you know that i am generally an optimistic life-loving gal!)

1. this sickness needs to go away. it makes me a very unhappy girl. i think i will go to ihc tomorrow if it doesn't get better because i'm sick of being grumpy and not feeling well. it's honestly cramping my style. i'm irritable and moody- no. this is does not have to do with any time of any month.

2. i can't believe i missed the second half of the grammys. i caught lady gaga's performance and her dancers (tho lacking raiment) were fantastic. i am beyond myself that i missed the jb/js/usher performance. i am in love with all the of those men. um. boys. weird. in fact- i keep having dreams about j beiber. i now feel like we are close. in fact- i will go see his movie due to this friendship we have developed over a series of multiple dreams... i would feel guilty not going to my good friend's movie. so weird, right? and jaden smith=stud of the world. and usher is downright sexay. anyone know where i can watch the entire grammy show again??? i'm so peeved i missed it.

3. i went to a draper ward for a farewell this morning. it was unlike any church i've been too- even felt like a different religion almost. never in my life have i seen so many patterned tights, fake tans, and mini skirts- oh my!

4. i think i will give myself permission to skip tomorrow as a day all together and sleep straight thru it. i feel like Crap, haven't done my homework, have zero desire or energy to get out of bed (and i'm not even in it yet), and oh ya one more thing- it's valentines day. i promise i'm not a grinch (i blame the sickness yet again), but lets allow tomorrow to be 'just another manic monday'. or not- if i sleep thru it. i know i keep blaming the sickness (refer to item #1), but my head has been aching and pounding and feeling like it's going to explode for days. my nose is raw from wiping it so many times, my voice sounds like a raspy man, my eyes, ears, and skin are all extremely sensitive, my body-espesh my neck, are throbbing, and i have newly acquired canker sores in my mouth- like 4 of them and counting! i am one unhappy girl.

5. i can't post any negative statuses on facebook because my sweet, amazing cousin just got diagnosed with cancer and i feel like a complete Idiot complaining about anything that she could potentially read- because regardless of what it is, it will look completely silly standing next to her battle for life that she just began. Espesh cuz she is having such a wonderful attitude about it. i guess it is important to remember that it could Always be worse. Pray for her!!!

6. i went to a ball with jeffy this weekend and it was pure heaven- pics will come soon.

7. i need to show you pics of my bro's cut hair.

8. my room is a disaster- and my mother always said your room reflects your state of mind. rightfully so, mom. rightfully so.

9. speaking of- my mom is an angel, and does nothing but serve me. but something happened tonight. i took out my irritability on her. i cried on my drive back to school because i felt so guilty. luckily part of her being an angel is that she is quick to forgive. i. am. blessed.

10. i need to write niecie. and go to bed. ps it's mo jones' bday today!

4 thoughts. (skin color, thin people, new shoes, sick girl)

A few things on my mind:

thought #1. You know how some homosexuals think they were born the wrong gender... well sometimes... i think i was born the wrong skin color. Sometimes I wish I was black. Sometimes I feel like I should have been born as an African American. Not only do i sometimes feel like i'm the wrong ethnicity, but that i'm dating the wrong ethnicity of guys. Sometimes I just don't want to date white guys. I could go on about this topic and address many different aspects- pro's and con's, but i think i'll just leave it at this. When I protested that we should switch skin color, my first boyfriend, Chi, told me i should be grateful for the skin color God gave me. And so i will. (I watched Stomp the Yard tonight to fulfill said void. I always cry at the end when he puts the gloves on... ha. My roommie asked me why i was chanting with the tv... alone... in my living room... i get a little passionate.)

thought #2. Seeing skinny people makes me hungry. And so i eat... for them.

thought #3. I got new kicks... they my babies.

thought #4. I'm sick. Too sick to work out, but not sick enough to miss school or work. I've been pumping my body with fluids and herbal vita- this/ motrin mucinex- that. It's helping, i think, but i'm still sick. I've been teaching a lot this week at the dance studio and i'm super exhausted. In fact, i'll be there from 8am-noon tomorrow. My roommie is just getting over strep... let's hope it doesn't turn into that. I really want to be feeling better by tomorrow night when i go to the Viennese ball with jeffy!!
