...Long Time No See

Ashley UPDATE

I've been slacking on most things internet based since the weather started warming up. This year I have a terrible (but wonderful) case of what I like to call Spring Fever. Once the weather gets warm I get this undying urge to be outside. It makes not one bit of difference where I am, where I'm going, and who is with me just as long as I'm outside soaking up the sunshine and the warmth that comes along with it. It's usually the worst on weekends when I go out on Friday night and come back Saturday or Sunday around 10am (LOL) .
My family notices it too. My dad always knew I'd occasionally disappear so he doesn't really worry much, but now my mom notices and seems like she really cares & I think she even misses me *shocked face*. She was talking to my Aunt Sheila and she asked how I was, my mom says "She's doing fine I think, I hardly ever see her because she's always running the streets." I personally don't think I do too bad, not like I go out EVERY night...just most of them. I see nothing wrong with it, as long as the weather is nice, somebody has somewhere they want me to go, & I have something to wear - I leave. And what makes it even better is everything I've done so far has been FREE. I'm 21 going on 22, I should be having all sorts of fun regardless of the consequence of work the next day. I'll have to work pretty much everyday for the rest of my life until I retire, so that isn't gonna be an excuse to keep me in the house.
If the way I'm acting this way in SPRING...I'm not even gonna think about what may occur this summer. This should be interesting....

Yesterday was the Democratic primaries. Yes I voted *dust my shoulders off*. I did my duty and paid my debt to society - so yay me.

My cousin Vonnie is getting married!!! I'm so happy for her. AND I'm a bridesmaid which is awesome. That will be the first wedding I'm apart of so that should be cool. I was gonna be apart of my cousin Smiley's wedding, but it never happened so of course that didn't work. We're supposed to go look at dressed and stuff on Saturday and she already knows our dresses are gonna be lavender tube dresses so that should be cute.

Next couple weeks I should be on my way to Richmond to see my friend JENN! She's graduating from Hampton and invited me down for the festivitites so hopefully I can go and it should be fun and filled with pictures! I can't wait. I know for a fact I'll be able to go if my dad helps me, he made a hint that he'd help me with some things if I need it so I may just ask him this one favor. It shouldn't be too bad since I haven't asked him or anyone for anything in a long time.

Also, I'm slowly converting and I'm starting to wear the one thing I swore up and down would never be on my feet unless it was really necessary - heels. I wore them out in Olde City and a few places a couple times and had the best time and I looked sharp as shit - I get it now. So now I actually go shopping for heels, I bought a few dresses knowing I'd need to wear heels with them and I look good if I do say so myself :) [If I don't think so, no one else will so eff it]

Now I must stop slacking off at work. Catch up on this soon

...Talking Politics

I'm not very political. I don't even like keeping up with campaigns because they always overpower the actual message and issues with propaganda, libel, slander, and a television day full of ads of what that person did or did not do for whatever reason to push the vote on their sides.
I used to claim democrat. I'm still registered as one, but now I don't even pick a side..not even independent. I just go with who seems to make the most sense, and who also has what it takes to fix this fucked up ass country that we live in and that many are trying to get into like a crowded night at the club.
Only thing so far that has caught my eye during this whole Presidental race isn't that there's a black man, or a woman running...it was just Obama's speech "A More Perfect Union" while he was here in Philly.He broke it all down and talked to the world like regular adults...He didn't try to cover anything up or swing some words around so you can decipher it how you want and make up 15 meanings that aren't even close...All he wants is a better America, and if there's anyone that doesn't want that...shouldn't live here.
So take it how you want it, but I believe he truly is one smart man that could possibly do some great things - but only if given the chance...and even after that only time will tell...After the whole Vote Or Die campaigns, making the giant effort to boost voting in the community and waiting 10 hours in line in New Orleans to vote for the first time and for the whole state of Louisiana to already be handed over to Bush before I and a long ass line behind me even got CLOSE to the voting booth - I kinda swore off the government. This the one and probably only time out of every 4 years you'll ever really witness me talking politics...soak it in & enjoy
