My Cherry's Been Popped!!!

My blogging cherry, that is. This is my first blog entry, on my first blog, ever. I've entitled this A.D.D. Barbie because I intend for this to be my diary of sorts: an outlet for me to gush, rant, rave, bitch, moan, reminisce or any other verb I please about whatever I please. A medium through which I'll share things I adore and things I abhor, and things I have lukewarm feelings for. Very random thoughts from a very random chick. I'll try my best to make this as cohesive as possible :)

So I guess this is as good a time as any to let you (whoever "you" are, HELLO! Thanks for reading! lol) know a little about moi. Well, I am:

• 24 years old as of two weeks ago
• Trinidadian by blood, but am 1st generation American. Born and raised in LawnGuyland, New Yoawk (or for those of you not from here, it's better known as Long Island, New York).
• A girly girl (but not sickeningly so). A fly Black Barbie, not in the fake-and-plasticky sense, but in the I-believe-I-can-do-anything-while-wearing-pink-stilettos-and-looking-fierce sense. And yes, pink is my favorite color.
• a (quasi-perpetual) college student, now finishing my degree in social work (after switching my major about 27 times)
• A Buddha-groupie. Not exactly a practicing Buddhist, but I appreciate the philosophy.

A little more, you say? OK, then! Let's see...I have:

• 2 tattoos, strategically placed so that they're only seen when I want them to be seen ;-)
• 7 piercings (in my ears, tongue, belly, and "lovebutton", hehe)
• an awesome pomeranian named Christian Dior (the name was meant to be tongue-in-cheek as I love fashion and he cost me a pretty penny!)
• A.D.D. Yes, really.
• love for all types of music. I mean ALL types. My Ipod has bits of rock, hip-hop, R&B, folk, country, classical, pop, techno, reggae, soca and latin music on it. I don't discriminate...good music is good music.

Some things I can't live without are:

• my dog
• my Ipod (my life's soundtrack!!)
• Family Guy. Giggity.
• mascara (it's funny how something so simple can make a girl feel so different!)
• The Wendy Williams Experience! How you doin?! Ok, so maybe I can live without her, but she's so fabulous! Love her!

Some stuff that really grinds my gears are:

• people who switch lanes without signaling
• mosquitoes. Leave me and my blood alone, thank you.
• close-minded individuals (think OUTSIDE of your box. You might enjoy it.)
• boys that spit (so NOT sexy)
• (anyone, but especially) Black people that try to trip up Barack Obama. YEA, I'm talking to YOU, Jesse Jackson and Jeremiah Wright. (Hi haters!) Don't you see what this man is trying to do? Fall the eff back.

Someone once told me I should write a book about my life, because of all the funny/chaotic/sad/inspiring/crazy things that go on. Maybe this will turn into a blueprint for that book. Maybe not. For now, I just need an active outlet for my overactive mind. We'll see how this pans out. Ciao for now!
