Today I'm going to San Fran. Going to Portland from 7/1 - 7/4. Lots of fun so far which I hope to blog about later today. Packing now. I'm so angry I could spit is the truth. I hope I won't be telling you why, but we'll see.

The First Biracial President?

2008-06-10T21:54:46Z

Race within a race

Goodness, can't we have anything? Can we please have this one? Can Barack PLEASE be the first BLACK president? In fact, I'm gonna start calling him BALACK Obama, in honor of his BLACKness.

Besides, I've already had my fill of "Well you know it took him being half white to make it." and "White people are never going to fully vote for an all black guy, we want someone who can relate to our side too. That's why I like Obama."

He's black! Dangit.

ps. SHUT UP SWIRL!

You can call me Dr. Keys...

Have you ever had a period so bad that you self diagnosed clinical depression? The last month has not been a good month in the life of Sticky and in that last month I evaluated the last 7 years in Stix and discovered with great chagrin...

I've let myself go.

I know, it's a sad realization to come to, but man, I have just given up! In highschool I always had my nails done, did my best with my hair, never had a zit or pimple or unruly hair in crazy places. Then I hit 22 and evidently decided to go skinny dipping in pools of testosterone resulting in weird hair growths and odd skin issues. 25 YEAR OLDS SHOULD NOT HAVE ZITS AND SIDEBURNS!

My hair is another animal entirely. It laughs in the face of a perm and bows only in submission to the humidity that plagues this city. I'm going to have to cut it and I'm going to cry when I do, but until I can afford to really take care of it, that's what much be done. I think I'll color it though, if it's going to be short it may as well be cute too. Sigh, I'll keep you updated.

Anyhow, this period from hell was so bad that I couldn't even write emo poetry about it. It messed with my mind and I thought I was much sicker that I probably actually was. I've had headaches every single day, nausea, bloating, and at one point during my period's sneak attack (ladies, you know this right? When your period takes a break for about six hours and you think it's done? And then as soon as you get out your none period draws then BAM!? Yeah, y'all know) I actually felt the inner lining dettach itself from my body and slither its way down- you know what? I'm not even going to finish that, just know it sucked.

So anyhow I'll be talking to you guys a bit more hopefully, I've been at my parttime job for just about a month and there's already drama *smh*. Gotta go clock in, later kids!

I usually have this space of about five minutes in the morning that I usually spend talking to Christopher since it's about noon:30 in Englandlandland and he's just coming off lunch. We chat about The Apprentice UK and boys and then I go to work. Well I've been very naughty and haven't watched the last eps yet (I KNOW! I've been sick!) so I'm coyly avoiding him until I watch them tonight. Don't tell him I'm here!

Anyhoodle, the other night I was watching this thing on TCM where actors interview other actors and this one featured Alec Baldwin interviewing Gene Wilder. I'd just got done watching the original version of The Producers and of course Willie Wonka and realizing that though I'd slept on him for a long time, I was kind of in love with Gene Wilder. An ode to his gentile nature and quiet, stormy presence may come later, but this is for now.

He mentioned something about a higher power, that he didn't know what it was or if it were a man or woman or any such thing. I wondered about that, especially given the man is near 80. Gene and Alec walked arm and arm through this beautiful campus talking about many things but their conversation about the uncertainty of God is what caught me off guard. It's such an important thing, you know? I remember in Hot Shots Lloyd Bridges mentioned being scared of death and wondering about the afterlife and I wondered, "When does thinking about God get easy?".

I was talking to a good friend about it and the conversation went a bit like this:

Me: I don't know, by 80 wouldn't you know? I mean, that's a long time to think about it, right?

Her: Not necessarily, I mean, your life gets hectic mid age, right?

Me It does, so maybe.. it's a long time to have put it on hold?

Her: Exactly, and when you're coming to the end of your life, and more alone, you start thinking about being with the people you love.

Me: In a way you've become so earthly bound that you've forgotten about Heaven? Is that good, or bad?

I still don't know, but it is interesting. God has never been an issue with me, believing in Him is second nature to breathing. At night I brush my teeth, take my medicine, call my mom, say my prayers and go to bed. In the morning I thank God for waking me up and starting me through my day. I think for a religion that has such stringent consequences you'd want to be completely assured of it while you're young, because the world can break it out of you, I've seen it.

We as humans always find a way to tweak and meddle with things we have no power over. Trying to mandate what is right and what is wrong not based on the actuality of the event, but on how it makes us feel at that very moment. Does God care if you're gay? I don't know yet, but I know a few hundred thousand people that will tell you "YES AND HE HATES IT" on His behalf without really knowing Him at all.

In our struggle to separate God and mammon we've turned mammon into our god, and that's the scariest thing of all. Right?

ps. This post evidently brought to you by the fact that I'm going to San Francisco pride and religiously freaking out about it. Appropriately. Ahh, self reflection in the morning... I've got to start watch The Apprentice UK eps on time.

ZOMG GAYLA! ANYONE! EVERYONE!!

I have just discovered internet radio courtesy of my ultimatum to stay off the internet. No kids, this time on my phone! For some reason Pandora won't work on my Centro (yet it works on the phone where I just took off the internet... of course), and I thought all was lost until I discovered radioio!

THERE IS AN IDOLS STATION! WHERE IT PLAYS NOTHING BUT RELEASES FROM AMERICAN IDOLS!!! HOLY CRAPOLA!!

Anyone know of any good phone friendly music stations? Or maybe some good phone friendly movie downloads? Hook me up so I don't get fired!

2008-05-15T14:56:35Z

So opinions are running the gamut from OMGZ GREAT to OMGZ YAY and y'all already know where I stand (YAY!!!!!), but let's take a minute to discover why.

Introducing, the StickyKeys Live Blog
f. FANT ASIA on IDOL 5/14/08

:16 - Kool-aid hair and fire engine red nails compel us to get up and shake our groove thangs. Fantasia has even commissioned ghetto booty dancers to show us how she gets down.

:59 - Does Fantasia have rickets? No my dears, this is simply Fantasia being Fantasia. She will have several other medical scares, but one thing to remember is Fantasia has a code word that will let us know whether she's truly okay. That word? YEAAAAAAH!! Watch closely for it.

1:07 - This is a family show, but.. Get it Girl!.

1:09 - Top Three: *silly hood chick* Syesha: *I'm glad they voted before she came on* Sticky: "Shut up imagined Syesha thoughts! You betta stand by your pick!"

1:18 - Fantasia can't do none of them fancy dances, but has discovered if you get a bunch of people to do club dances at the same time it looks professional and fun. Good job!

1:45 - SOMEONE GET AN AMBULANCE!!!

1:47 - Okay, wait... did she change the safe word? Umm.. she seems to be doing okay.

2:01 - Rico... sigh. I'm glad Tasia loves her family, and I'm glad the soundman doesn't seem to care. Bleep Bloop.

2:08 - Fantasia gives something for the seniors by showcasing her perfect butterfly stroke. She really is extremely versatile.

2:33 - Look mom! If I clap on EVERY beat I'm technically right! Fantasia you are AMAZING! Whoo 1-2-3-4! 1-2-3-4!

2:58 - The look heard round the world.

The following are a list of thoughts going through Simon's head:

1. "I know the crowd is excited, but she had an actual literal fit up there. Should I be calling an ambulance? She did say her safe word."

2. "Is she having an allergic reaction to the Kool-aid in her hair. Will Paula's epipen work on her? Should I stick her in the neck? What if she becomes rabid?"

3. "What the bloody hell was that?"

4. "And how can I market it?"

This look was good, but not as good as-

3:02 - BIG UPS TO JAYSUS! THANK YOU GOTT! YOU WHAT'S POPPIN G! I LOVE YOU MAYNK!

I think I may have passed out. Utter perfection. The icing on the cherry on top of the whipcream on top of the pie. Nina said she wish she would have brought it down just a notch, but Fantasia is so niche that you bring it down a notch you don't get Fantasia anymore. You get... Stephanie mixed with Alex Anne Drea and Syesha.

3:11 - Simon looks at Randy, who looks at Simon, while Paula wonders where Fantasia's spaceship is, and if she could get a ride to Starbucks. Paula loves Starbucks.

3:41 - NEW ALBUM! WII!

3:46 - "Breath Control!"

I love Fantasia because she's willing to expel every ounce of oxygen in her body and nearly pass out at the end to entertain us.

4:01 - GIVE US A KISS!!

Fantasia is a niche artist, you either love her or you hate her and that's about it. Nina remarked that she ain't gettin' no new fans so she might as well cater the heck to the ones she has, and that's what she does.

I love her because WYSIWYG and anything less would not be FANTASIA

I love that she's so true to herself that if you try to put her in a box and she fails you have no one to blame but yourself.

I love that when you realize exactly who she is she can blow your mind away.

I love that she's comfortable with the show and with the judges to just go out there and give it her all.

I love that the Season 6 kids listened to her CD while they were on tour.

I love her because she too wants to make out with Ryan Seacrest. Sloppily.

I love her because while she's contempo r&b now, she has the kind of voice that can easily spin into clssic genres and ensure her longevity, and she can do it anytime she wants.

I love her. Simply. Her ghetto hot mess fire that ignites my ears and eyes. Her inability to be anything less than over the top and her rampant desire to never hit bottom.

Syesha tried to claim her, but I'm taking her back! She's MY idol, and I love her.

I know officially he got TWoP in the divorce, but I had to take a peek:

Next up is Fantasia, singing...wow. You have to be very, very confident to get up and sing a song called "Bore Me." Particularly with Simon Cowell within 5000 yards of you, much less right there in your line of sight. Is this song title a hidden clue from the producers that Archuleta's got this in the bag? Or, wait, are the producers conspiring against him now? Every year it gets harder and harder to keep up. So Fantasia's painted her hair red, and not a single word she sings is decipherable in the slightest, and she borrowed all the beeps and snorts from Beyonce's "Work It Out," and as always it sounds like it must hurt a whole lot to sing like Fantasia, and ultimately? She's totally fantastic. And capital "I" Insane. Did she always know how to dance? This is awesome. Cut to Simon, mouth agape, struggling to comprehend. She has literally knocked Simon's brain clear across the room. He's finished. So am I. Wow.

And then? Just as Ryan's about to send it to commercial, she pretends to make out with Ryan. I vote we just declare Fantastia a Double American Idol and call this season a wash. Who's with me?

Ha! That Joer really gets it sometimes!

(This is why we're best friends)

2008-05-12T03:00:31Z

Nina: You confuse the shit our of me sometimes!

Stacey: I always say, and no one believes me, but I'm the most intolerant, judgmental person in the world until... well you know the rest.

Nina: You know what I think? I think your mind is so full of grey that you put everything into little black and white boxes just to filter and organize your shit out.

Stacey: Huh.

Nina: Yeah.

Stacey: Well.

Nina: Mmhmm

Stacey: That's pretty astute Nina. I like that.

Nina: That's why we're best friends!

Stacey: It really is!

Dear everyone everwhere!

2008-05-10T20:51:35Z

Stop wishing me Happy Mother's Day! Yes, I know I'm maternal and Lord knows I want some babies. But before the babies I want a husband and lots and lots of hot sex with said husband so until that happens... I AM NOT A MOTHER!

I still love you though, and all of you who are mommies!

I won't count it as a total loss...

2008-05-04T12:57:44Z

"I hope you didn't wait up for me."

"I kind of forgot, until I saw this car following me home."

"What? You think I was stalking you?"

"Stalkin' me with a pair of clippers. So I see you got some other girl to polish your knob."

"Naw I just did it my- wait, what?"

"Huh?"

"No."

"Mmmhmm..."

"Whatever, I'm gonna have you fade me up."

"I'll make it smooth for ya."

Chris: "What are you guys talking about?"

The seeds have been sewn.

2008-05-04T01:38:15Z

"I think I'm going to shave my head."

"Why? You don't need to shave it."

"You wanna shave it for me?"

"Which head we talkin' about?"

"Shut up!"

"Well I'm just sayin'. You just made your other head the default pic and called me three times..."

"*laughs* Naw for real, what time you want me to come over?"

"I don't care, whenever."

"Do I have the bring the clippers?"

To self: "Do you really want me to shave your head?"

"Yeah, I only have a lady trimmer for grooming."

"Mmmm hmm..."

Back soon!

You a dirty girl, a dirty girl!

2008-05-01T20:34:28Z

Flove Rob & Big, and of course I only notice them as they leave the air. Hopefully I can get the dvd hookup!

Jacob: "Alright, so I just want a chance to get to know everyone. Say your name, how long you've been working here, and a little something about you."

Michon: "My name is Michon, and I've been here a year and a half, and I don't have nothin' short to say about me!"

John (supervisor): "She never does."

Us: *laughs*

De-Von: "My name is De-Von, I've been here since Oct '07, my favorite color is blue-"

Michon: "-Stacey. Your favorite color is Stacey! And on company time he has an ongoing love affair with Stacey."

Stacey: "Huh? See, don't start no rumors!"

De-Von: "-I don't like fish, and I like-"

Stacey: "Then I don't know if we're going to get along."

John (supervisor): "What's happening here!?"

Chris: "I'm just going to go ahead and go. My name is Chris..."

And this...

2008-04-28T01:22:17Z

My husband's got personality going for him...

"My most memorable Runza fix was when I delivered my twin girls. I was starved. But it was late and Runza was already closed. The next day my wonderful dusband stopped by Runza on his way to the hospital. Oh, how the fries and hot Runza smelled and tasted so good. All the nurses were stopping by our room asking what we were eating! Runza made my hospital stay more enjoyable. The only thing better than a Runza Sandwich and fries are my beautiful baby girls."

a cute boy text messaged me a picture of his dick today so I replied with a boobcat (to be explained when I get to an actual computer). instead of asking me to put said dick in my mouth (after all, my lip gloss was poppin') and to nuzzle and pet said boobcat, he asked me make him a dickcat so he could send it to his friends.

"we're very comfortable in our sexuality." he said.

"i bet you are." I replied as I sketched a little bee to put on the bud of the flower i'd just concocted.

the moral of the story? sometimes work is fun, but it's always frustrating... sexually.

FIERCE!!

2008-04-24T15:38:41Z

And this is why I still love and will probably continue to harass you with Danny. Recently he went to the Six Flags and this is the picture from the ride.

I am dedicated to duplicating this. I now have to add "Amusement Park" to my summer plans!

EEeeeeee!!!!

2008-04-24T00:33:32Z

I may just DIE!

And yes, I know. And I know, and yep, that too. Yeah, still don't care. I WILL BE IN LINE!!

The time has come...

2008-04-20T14:50:20Z

I've already been moody and bloated and gassy as crap. Today a letter and a paid account token made me cry. I have never been hornier in all my life.

God I love being a woman.

WHEN YOU'RE WISHING ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Wii!

I've decided to start watching Days of Our Lives (now featuring LaVerne from Scrubs which, okay!) again so that way I'll get up before noon. I'm also in love with Rob & Big

I love only working one job!

Later gators!

ps. Why is this kid more hood than me?

Just... I can't even hate. HE LOVES HIS BABY!! YA HEARD!!? Real talk!

When there's no time to write. Spam with pics.

Got a Tumblr. But I can't figure out how to simply add a horizontal line between entries. And the guy who was hosting the layout went belly up. So it looks crazy, but I don't care right now cause it's totes cute.

like so:

Got a bunch of new clothes and cut my hair:
Before:

Thas mah mommy!

After:

Not a huge change, but now it's all sorta, kinda, pretty much even.

My niece got a car (that heiffa ain't even 16 yet!):

I think she's going to name it Brody. I'm making her name it.

Equal parts of working hard and hardly working:

Got semifired from my Quiznos gig, but still haven't gotten paid for final week of work after telling them over and over they owe me. Semifired meaning I asked for less hours and they said "How about a lot less?"

Learning slowly how to form complete sentences again. Slowly.

I will update more better very soon muchly. And to make this post official, here are my boobs:
