.Slight Change.

All my life i've been known as "Parris with the long hair". I am so over that...so in an attempt to trim my ends, i chopped a little more than normal. When you see it you may "oh thats nothing" but those of you that know me well will tell the difference IMMEDIATELY. I am gradually cutting it off because i am too much of a chump to go all at once....

.Updates.

Here are the sonograms my bestie got today...we still dont know what she's having but its exciting trying to figure it out.

.& I Can Cry If I Want To.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! i am so blessed that the Lord let me see another year. @ 12 on the dot i was greeted with songs, dances, hugs & kisses from my closest friends here @ school. & when i signed onto facebook the, it got even better because i had numerous wall posts, some pictures and even some videos of my talented friends singing "Happy Bday" to me. [check me out on FB 'Parris Desiree' to see them]. Although its raining here in Atlanta, i am trying to enjoy my day because i am blessed & loved genuinely. This is my last year being able to say im a teenager & i plan to live it up. Thanks everyone...the day is just beginning.

.Old School.

I have been looking for this song{in the background} for months now & i finally found it on this old club heads site. Its called "Ex~Friend" & the original song is by someone named Lil Lucky but the late K-Swift remixed it in the 90's. This song reminds me of Teamsters, 92Q Kiddie Disco, & Hammerjacks on middle school night...
{took the song off but here's the link http://www.imeem.com/people/9_fah/music/_0oITGPK/exfriend/}

.Blind Love.

I saw Cadillac Records yesterday & the entire movie was amazing Beyonce played that part. She was cursing & crying all over the place. If you havent seen it stop reading because im about to ruin a small part for you. Anyway, Etta James{Beyonce} & Leonard Chess{Adrien Brody} have an affair & fall in love. Chess decides to sell the record label on which James was signed & in the scene she decides to sing one last song for him. It just so happens that song is a direct description of their situation. Beyonce must have been thinking about something tragic because she sang that song & cried all at the same time. While watching it i cried myself...it was touching. The scene, song, & lyrics are intense.

Here is a link to the video & the lyrics...

"Something told me it was over

When I saw you and her talkin'

Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl'

When I saw you and that girl walkin' around

Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy

Then to see you walk away from me, child, no

Whoo, so you see, I love you so much

That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby

Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no

Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just

Sittin here thinkin', of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah

When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby

Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah

Whoo and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy

Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yea

Whoo, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind..."

.The Other Pea In My Pod.

Spotlight: Let Me Introduce You To...

Kristian B. AKA Krissy. We have been close for about 7 years now & i couldnt ask for a better cousin. We are like Salt & Pepper, totally different but go so well together. Every Saturday we got in the car around 1:30 in the afternoon and rode the city until we were worn out. People think we are crazy because u can catch us doing anything from riding with our feet out the window, the music on full blast & most famously singing the songs like we're the only two people on earth. We spend hours in Towson,love Passion Tea Lemonades from Starbucks & go to IHOP every weekend. She is a label whore & is a fashion design major @ Johnson & Wales in RI. Her going to college was the hardest thing for me to deal with and the seperation is still killing me, but the summer is coming & people better be ready. From my home town, meet Krissy.

.Bang Bang.

Simply put..these shoes are some bad motha shut your mouths...I'd kill for a pair & not even wear them. Thank you Chanel...

.Dime Divas Give it To Me.

I have been obssessed with this woman since "The Way I Are" when people had no clue as to who she was. She has been writing for people like Beyonce, Britney Spears, and Rihanna for years and now its her time to shine. This song {along with her version of Turn My Swag On} have been on repeat on my iPod for weeks now & I am too psyched that she released a video for it!!!! Check it out & buy her album that just hit stores 3.24.09. Her time is now & she WILL kill it!

.An Apple A Day.

"Women are like apples. Guys think the good apples at the top of the tree are too good 4 them, so they pick the bad apples off the ground because they are easy. The good apples think there is something wrong with them but in reality men are afraid of falling, when really we need a guy to build up the courage to climb the top and pick a good apple then we can be as bad as we wanna be"

-makes sense

.1906.

Attending a HBCU has opened my eyes to what we call the GREEK LIFE. The upperclassman pride themselves on becoming apart of the prestigious fraternities & sororities on campus. Whether it be those sophisticated Deltas, sweet AKAs, nasty Q Dogs, smooth Kappas, or the down to earth Alphas its a big deal. Every now and then a week is dedicated to the celebration of one of the Greeks. This upcoming week belongs to the Alphas. They will have the promenade on lock & im sure they have some great things planned for their fellow students. Make sure you check out the "Miss Black & Gold" pageant on Thursday night & im sure the stroll off is on Friday. I must say i adore the men of Alpha Phi Alpha & love having friends on the line.

.Italian Treat.

Maya & I have something to say...
http://midtermyesterday.blogspot.com/?zx=71ce63a22021fa4f

Today marks the official 1st day of spring & that means "FREE ITALIAN ICE @ RITA'S". For all the people that go to my school that ask "Who is Rita?", i have no idea, but i do know that if you have never had the sweet, juicy, icy flavorful thing in that red & white cup then you are deproved. I was priveliged to have one right next door to my job at home so they pretty much got all my money lol. They have every flavor you can think of from mango, strawberry, chocolate, lemonade, iced tea, cherry, blueberry,custard & or you can choose a Gelati which is the flavored ice with frozen custard on the bottom & top. I also love how they give you the punch cards {buy 10 & you get one free}, i didnt get to finish this last one because i started school, but anywho if you've never had it TRY IT!! for my friends here in the A there is one in the Underground & one by Perimeter.....

.Hump Wednesday.

I was too psyched when i heard the infamous AUC{atlanta university center} HUMP WEDNESDAY was returning. When i started at CAU last semester everyone was like come out to H.W., its hype blah, blah, blah. I just thought it was just some other event we always go to. NO SIR! I walked over to Morehouse and the crowd was massive. There was music playing, food smelling good, dancing, & a little of everything going on out there. I saw so many familiar faces & even the little midget Bow Wow. I immediately made it my business to attend every Wednesday. When the weather got cold the weekly event got put on hold & this past Wednesday the fun began again. I again saw people i hadnt seen in soooo long & it felt good to just chill. Here are a few pictures of what goes on {this is for you Marlena lol}
