stuff. updates.

1. So BET did a special on hip hop. Like i said- im notlike a real hip hop head or nothing. I mean, i do care, understand that those images affect us all as black women,understand that its an artform we created thus we must ty to presearve it, understand its origins blah blah blah. Its hard to be optimistic, I'm not in love with hip hop. I don't have a running list of DJ's in my head, havn't been to most of the clubs in Atlanta or the Bay, don't go to underground music shops and ask the disc nigga about the latest this song or that. I can't freestyle, nor do i have any desire to. I own like 5 cd's most of the music i download. I falied at Hip Hop. like on some "F-" shit.
Yesterday one of my friends Malika had a warrior princess retreat. It was supposed to be a small spa retreat in her brand new apartment(its quite nice). aroiund 15 black women ranging from age 21-53 showed up, in interesting mix of people, A 21 year old who is putting out a new cd soon, a few activists, a young woman from Kenya who aspires to one day be the president of her country, a 51 year old spelman sophmore who writes naughty cards, a 24-y/o film producer, and emory grad student, a temple grad student, a harvard grad student graduate who is retuning to the A. a fellow classmate, some recent spelman, clark, clayton state grads, people/s cousins etc... My point is, it was quite a nice mix of people. or really my point is that i have met sooooo many black women since i got to Atlanta. I mean granted i go to aschool with 2000+ black women but damn.

THere is a queergrrls party at my house for new years. It sounds like it will be interesting, prolly a smaller turnout because of the number of new years parties going down. I'm excited, especially since i can drink as much as i want to because i dont have to drive home.hehhehe. (small pleasures)

i prolly wont make it back to cali this holiday season, im saving all my money toward january's rent and going back there will cost upwards of 500 dollars which is more than my rent)I'm a little saddened, i really wantewd to see my parents my aunts and my grandparents. THey really mean a lot to me and i know they'll be disappointed. Tierany and possibly amber and I may do something on christmas, or end up at one of our professors houses.

Okay thats enough of this..
