mrs. yolanda
next we have the infamous woman, with the gold hair, who drives that blue spaceship, && can be always found saying "how bout that !!" mrs. yolanda. although she hasn't been there since birth, this woman has made a biggggggg impact on my life. i'm am happy to say i have a step-mother that i actually like. she taught me how to drive, a little of my combat skills [lol], && continues to show me how to be a classy lady. while she may seem crazy to me at times, i know she has my best interest at heart. i talk to her everyday, even if it's just to tell her about a pimple i have on my face. she is always there for me && no matter how far i go, i will never forget about my mrs. yolanda.
ari
hide your weapons for the next girl, because she might use them on you !! lol. just kidding, a lil. this is ilaria my little sister. she is the erratic, spunky, louder version of me. i swear we might have been twins in another life time. we have the same thoughts sometimes, it's crazy. i'll do anything for this girl. i'd like to think that she looks up to me, lol. but forreal we can talk about anything in this world. i have her back, && if you don't know ask somebody !! because she definitely has mine. i was sad to leave her and will be even more sad when i transfer away. distance doesn't mean too much thoooooo, cuz i'll always be there if you need me sis, beeleee dat ! haa.
christian , ride or die
if you are a avid reader of my blog you already know who this is. . . .the best friend a girl could ask for. not even blood could make us closer. christian has been put on this earth to be my best friend until we are old, cranky, && gray. even tho we are like the sun && the moon, be definitely compliment each other well. from looks even to personality. the goody girl && the not-so-good girl, haa. light-skin, dark-skin. && everything else you can think of. because of christian i hate sunflower seeds && i don't want to listen to mike jackson for the next year, but it's also because of christian that i am who i am today. she is there to say, "don't say that robin" when i want to blurt the first thing that comes to mind. we have sooooooooooo many stories and adventures to tell, && it's only the beginning. not many people are blessed to form a friendship like we have. && because of that, sometimes people don't like us. . . but whoooooooooo caresssss. ride or die, no matter what the consequences. i♥you, clh !!

mikela
speaking of best friends, we have my other bff, mikelaaaaaaaa. we been kickin it since grade school. literally. i met mikela in the 4th grade, she was and is probably the most meanest person i know. but, she's my best friend. we have been through a lot of the same things. this girl can cuss you out in a heart beat, but she always has my back. our friendship has taken a few blows this year, but it's because of a true friendship we still remain. i love this girl no matter how many cuss words she uses in one sentence. she will always will be my friend.
tonisha
<---------------- this girl right here is someone i've gotten closer && closer with over the years. time && time again the little things she probably doesn't even know she's done shows me that she is a friend in my book. she is a resident of kiddyville, i might add. thas the city where no one ever grows up !! no matter how hard we try we take the kiddiest route possible. . .lol. just can't help it. we skype almost everyday for hours at a time, for no particular reason, lol. but i have many crazy episodes i could tell with tonisha, but i wouldn't trade it for the world. we have many more wild nights && parties to have. && i pray to GOD in confidence this will be my roomie next year at the university of richmond !!
b'y0nka
speaking of kiddyville, we have the mayor of this fine town in this pic to the left. this is a close friend of mine. we go back to lakeview elementary. back then she was a cry baby, but somewhere along the line she grew up just a tad. haa. b'yonka was there to tell me it was okay when i NEVER made check offs my first year as a majorette/majee. hahah. but seriously we were more than majee sisters. she is not afraid to let me know when something is wrong with my outfit or i have done something utterly retarded. b'yonka really keeps me laughing when i feel like crying sometimes. beee i love youuuuuuuu.
steve
let's add some testosterone to this post. haa. next we have my brooooooooo, steve. i've known him since the sandbox days too, but it wasn't until he started going with christian that i found out he wasn't the quiet, mean person most people may think him to be. i learned that steeebeeen, lol, is just a laid back dude, with good taste in music, && will do anything for the people he loves. trust me, i know !! we all have good times together && even thooo he && christian are like a gazillion miles away at school, i know every time he comes home, we will do something together that will have me dying laughing or simply having great fun. i love you steebeeeeeeen !! =D.
travis
this handsome young man right here is probably one of the closest male friends i have. we haven't even known each other for a year, but whewww. it feels like forever !! in a good way tho, =). it's crazy because i did not like travis when i first met him. now he is my favorite bud. he was my date to my senior prom as you can see. we looked good if i do say so myself, lol. anywhooo, travis keeps it real && i bang with him because of that. he'll tell me a dude i need to stay away from, and i protect him from the crazayyyyy girls that flock to him, haaa. travis is one of the few friends i have at hampton. while he refuses to believe me, i will truly miss him when i transfer.
maeya
up next is who i like to call my lil turtle !! maeya is probably one of the nicest people i have met in life. she is sweet to everyone, && i don't know her to have any at all. she is a avid reader of my blog && will let me know that i need to keep my posts up to date !! i appreciate her reading, her kindness, && her generosity. now don't get me wrong maeya has some fiest in her system !! lol. gotta lover her.
tashaun
if i had a dollar for every time i jumped in her pictures, i'd have a decent amount of money !! this young woman right here has been my friend since the 6th grade. we have definitely had our fallouts but somehow, we get over them. she may be the only girl who can't accept the words, period, funky, stankyyyyyy, && other random words. && because of that, i say them to her every chance i get, =D. i love this girl && i'm pretty sure she loves me toooooo.
derrell
back to the male side of the field, we have dewwweeeelllll !! he is truly an inspiration to me. i can always look for him for some real advice. he will tell it like it is, no matter how hard the truth may be. we have made many car trips that have ended with me falling asleep, but those are the days i will never forget. derrell is the epitome of a gentleman if i ever met one. we joke on each other all day, && somehow he always knows when i'm hungry. guess it's because he's a throat his self, haaaa. he helps me in any way possible && he will never know how much i appreciate that !! i love you tiggerboooooo. =).
rj
another one of my brooos. many know him as the debonair, roderick. but to me he will always be the pop-locking rj. i remember when rj used to always leave me && christian at random places or how he always keeps us up to date on the latest dance. i aggravate him to no end. lol. i know he loves me, but he told me he could never get married to me. haaa. he is a true sweetheart && even though sometimes i truly can't comprehend the things this young man does, i love him !!
haterssssssss.
last, but not least, yesss. the infamous haters. i might have a lot or i might have few. but i must thank them. the ones who can't stand me, my friends, or even the mention of my name. you keep me going. your hate only powers me. i laugh at you, if i even take the time to think about you for a second of my day. you rush to read my blog first, && probably know more about it than me !! thanks for the views, i love it. your feedback you think i don't know about. . .i love that too. who are my haters, people might ask ? ? ? they are the ones who's hair is standing at the back of their neck right now. there temperature is rising && they are probably thinking, "is she talking about me ??" if you are offended, then yeah, most likely i'm talking to you. i love to know that i am your nightmare. without haters, i might be doing something wrong. . .keep it up. i love ya'll too !! =).
i don't think i would be black if i didn't have that many shout outssssss. haa, && there are soooo many others i truely bang with. well i won't talk ya'll heads off anymore. i'll hit ya'll with some pics && food for thought at a later date.
