Useless ramblings

I meet you all once again at the same time doing the SAME thing....on the computer, working on CAD, missing Gossip Girl...sniff sniff..thank God for TIVO.
So, for the past few days all ive been thinking about is HALLOWEEN! An actual excuse to dress up in a silly costume = awesome!! Ive never understood how people dont take advantage of Halloween..seriously its the only time you can get dressed up in your sluttiest form and not get persecuted for it...
And though i have gone down that rough sexy path before (lol...believe me next time you decide to go uber sexy for halloween, make sure reckless friends are not taking reckless pictures to end up in reckless places...i.e. facebook!! NOT a good look i assure you...many O.M.G. what was i thinking?? WHY am i posing like that???? moments..) and im so bored with the cliche sexy nurse, sexy police officer, sexy prisoner...blah blah blah!!!!!! So its been stressful trying to find a costume!! If i spent this much time on my schoolwork......
What is anyone going as for halloween and what are you doing?? The Cavens are throwing a halloween party in Md that i shall be attending, and should be FUn!! (Nigerians...i wonder if they will actually wear costumes, not to talk of putting any effort into it??)
Anyway i finally found a costume today and i'm soooooooooo excited...its given me motivation to em...tighten things up....cant be caught looking sloppy in my costume now innit :) Its a secret for now hehee because such are the things that spice up my life.

Toodles!!

I cant believe I'm missing GG for this...

........'THIS' equals being stuck in a school computer lab playing around on Photoshop and Illustrator...Bleh! I wish i was home cuddled under my covers with a cuppa hot tea watching the fabulous Upper east siders battle their shallow problems (seriously, between Gossip Girl and the Hills, I need to pull one of these girls aside and ask them if they need some REAL problems??? I'm more than willing to offload my plate here :)....)

This weekend I have officially crowned myself the ultimate party girl (youth...YOUTH!! this is evidence!)...I realised that were I to be a celebrity, I might not be that nice classy breed that you only see at events and the like...My girls and I just might be the Lindsay Lohans & co stumbling out of the club at 4am with a suspiciously disoriented look in my eyes. I have seriously been on a partying binge from Wednesday night & thurs night (NY - mansion & Marquee respectively)..Fri & Sat in DC (2 Nigerian independence day parties - i need say no more) and back to NY on sunday night (Home/Guesthouse)..... and so I met 11am Monday morning with an emergency call to my doctors office (Do you smoke? - No, Do you drink ---errrrrr...can I even answer socially anymore?) Le sigh..

My birthday has come and gone (HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE --- must milk the fab libra month for all its worth ps. Happy birthday to all my fellow librans!!) and it was very...adventurous! Lets just stay the plan started with Kareoke, somehow dabbled into a strip joint (don't ask), and ended up at Guesthouse...eventful no? It was lovely to see all the girls out and about, even those Nigerians that dont understand that Kareoke from 9 - 12 doesnt mean arrive at 12am all decked out and asking 'why are you guys leaving?' errrrrrr......! It was all good though, they were gorgeous for coming out nontheless :) Ran into the fabulous Aggyness Dyen (who posed with the birthday girl aka me!) at Kareoke AND Rosario Dawson (who is a lot more regular looking than i thought...who knew?) and then the FINE FINE FINE Meagan Goode (it was her sisters birthday too!)...so that was enough to make the night even 10 times more interesting than it already was! Ikechukwu and Sasha also came out for the Guesthouse part of the event, so i have to shout the nigerian celebs out too haha!!



Anyways hopefully a fun time was had by all, (why does there always have to be those crazy 'birthday girl' moments when youre stressing out and wishing you never decided to throw any gig in the first place??? *rolls eyes*)


Anyhoo, finding an apartment in NY is a total BITCH! and therefore I must say i am so relieved to have finally found an apartment with a totally wonderful and the sweetest roomate EVER!!! She is a HE, i.e. yes i am residing with a man, yes my father would have a hernia if he knew, but you know what? living with a dude is a whole lot better than living with a female.. he doesnt care when i have friends over...(and believe me...I HAVE FRIENDS OVER!!)...he takes out the trash and all that...he pops champagne for me on my birthday haha (okay everyone says he has a crush on me but i refuse to believe that part)...and he brings cute friends over (HALLELUJAH!!)... er...I hope a certain someone doesnt read this post :) Ive included some pictures of him and my mini photoshoot that he was gracious enough to shoot LOL...yes did i mention he also serves as our photographer? so...woop woop Henry!!



Anyhoo, I really have to get off the computer now Im a little ashamed, i have some of my classmates here and everytime they come to me to ask about a problem, i see them back away hesitantly as my own photoshop involves a whole bunch of pictures and not so much fashion CAD..(blush)

Ill leave with this absolutely fabulous picture of my girls Nkechi and Nkem (kemerlysramblings.blogspot.com). I missed Nkechis birthday sob sob due to unforseen circumstances (sounds like that came straight from a naija movie) but they were still troopers and showed up at mine looking as gorgeous as always. Aren't they Lover-ly!!!!!!



Later y'all, hope you enjoyed my meaningless garble :)

Landlord! I have a Rant due!

I was Highly Patriotic this independence day weekend...OMG!!...talk about Marking register at almost every event..
To be quite honest, i usually do not like going for Maryland shindigs...Unless...Unless...its that kind of night where ALL your friends want to go...everyone you know is going...There is nothing else to do...so its like....err well!...

Anyhoo but this time i was quite excited to attend the festivities!...I have been dyiiiiiing to hear Nigerian Music in the club...i am sorry...there is nothing as sweet as dancing to " Kini big deal or a Dbanj anthem"...in a spacious area with the music blasting off the walls!!...so i was like woohoo yeaaa!...I had PLANNED to attend just the friday event at Love Niteclub....but somehow i attended like 3 events...whadyaknow!!...Back to Back like a hardcore paRTy rocker too!...very ridiculous....on saturday i was DONE!...but My Older sis who doesnt go to Nigerian events AT ALL...wanted to go for an independence thingy to prove she wasn't a total sellout lol...so i HAD to go along just to support her entry into uncharted territories (gosh i am such a sweet younger sister)...but anyhoo kept on running into the same people...in different outfits!
Had fun on thursday and friday....infact had TOO much fun on friday thanks to the devil's juice! ..I swear My friend called me the next day and i was like, "Oh i am so sad i didnt see you at the party, where were you!!!!!!" and he goes, "dude, we hung out together for like 30 mins, you were even wearing my sunglasses all night!"...i was like....HUHHHHH?????!!!....So i sure did steer clear from alcohol at yesterday's event....I didn't need a repeat performance..No Ma'm!

But Anyhoo i have A RANT based on this weekend.... First of all, GIRLS are very interesting beings...i really feel like women need to just come together and EXHALE.... When a group of women who dont know each other well, chill in the same place at the same time, the air just thickens with suspicion and paranoia!...WHY CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!lol....I personally think i am Nice.......no seriously i really do lol....I have NO problems with anyone...But i am just reserved, if i dont know you i don't go out of my way to jump in front of you and say Hello!!....I just chill, If our eyes connect, ill say Hello...I repeat, i have no problems with anyone...i don't HATE on anyone... I am actually just a chill female!!..No hostility here!....but dude...the amount of hostile eyes i connected with this weekend was quite shocking lol...I mean I think people just ASSUME things about My friends and I because we seem too clique /ish..or so i have heard anyway......You hear stuff like, Oh these girls think they are this and that...blah blah blazi!...so its like automatically people just assume that because we are always together and either being really loud lol or being very quiet, we either are unfriendly or think we iz the shizzz..oh dont get me wrong, i do feel i am the shizz..hahaha.....Assumptions are never facts dudes!...
ANyhow the reason i am going semi personal on here is because of i felt this weekend was interesting....i had quite a number of awkward female crazy moments...but i shall narrow it down to two incidents...First of, there was this female who was really cold to my friend who also happens to be HER friend...and i am talking point blank rude to her .... because she was hanging with my sis and I at a party on friday night!!....now her reason is she thinks i don't like her....because...er...she just thinks so??...or i don't say hi??..or something?!...???...I mean i really dont know this girl at all..To even assume I have formed a decision about whether or not i like her is ludicrous...as far as i know she is an attractive cool girl!!...so why assume i dont like you??....its silly!!....all i am trying to say is...I don't talk about people...because...and to be quite honest....i really dont CARE!!!...i dont go out of my way to be mean to anyone...i just do me...if i walk past you, its because I didn't see you....so stop assuming i purposely expend my energy on stupid girly crap...who cares...hiss. lol...Don't think we are rival groups, don't think we are competing, don't think because you see me giggle to a friend when you enter a room that i am laughing at you, don't think i think i am better than you...ridiculous shit...Its just so tiring having to deal with females and their exhausting imaginations....i get along with confident girls who are above all that crap!....No seriously...
AND secondly..My second wtf moment is with this other group of girls i see about town, I do not know these ladies by names, we have never been introduced...i just have seen them around and thats really about that.. but yet, mutual friends keep telling me shit that these girls talk about my friends and I...and although i usually dont pay attention to crap like that, its quite interesting that somehow somewhere some girls are locked up in an invisible battle with ...quite honestly...themselves...lol.....The hostility permeating the airwaves when we are all in touching distance is hilarious...even outside people who have never met girl group in question and just randomly just stumble onto this imaginary battle zone are like...whats really good?!!...And We just keep giving ourselves quizzical expressions like Are they for real??...Na fight?...lol...But its all good though..everyone is on their own P....let them do them...I just hope to never be jumped by a group of chics because they THINK i am hating on them lol....

AS a closing statement, I really just think females need to start looking at each other as Potential friends, instead of potential rivals...There are girls i meet that i just click with in an hour because they are just open and confident and happy and then there are these other girls who are just so frigging wierd and its just impossible to get past their crazy barriers and preconcieved notions about you....i find myself trying to be extremely down to earth and friendly just to prove to people i am not what you think!!...I am not MRS friend...and i am not going to go out of my way to BEFRIEND anyone...unless you are frigging Beyonce...lol...but just leave your insecurities at the door and realize that you cant make judgements about people you dont know!

This is my rant of the day lol! I have to get bACK TO 177 slides of infectious diseases....i am not kidding...it is a 177 slides...Thanks for listening yall!!....And i hope everyone is staying fabulous!!
