When In Doubt, Dress Accordingly

Hello duckies. I should be reading for class right now but I like doing my work right before class. It's not procrastinating if you plan on doing it last minute. lol Anyway, this weekend was an experience to say the least. More importantly, I'd like to share my ultimate sass experience, which happened this past weekend.

So I was A-list party hopping this past weekend and I ran into a friend of mine, Millie. Millie was telling me that our mutual friend Skyler was at this party and she wanted me to come. I'm never up for missing a party. I walk Millie to the party and Skyler opens the door and hugs Millie, only to converse with her. I try to spark a conversation between the two of us:

Me: "Hey Skyler. What's up? Are you gonna let me in?"
Skyler: Hugging Millie into the door's threshold, "You weren't invited."

Then he slammed the door in my face!



At first I thought this was play-sass but after waiting outside the door for 30 seconds I found out that Skyler wasn't joking. He didn't let me in. I texted him telling him he was dead to me...which is true. You're dead to me Skyler.

So the next day he tries apologizing to me ("I'm sorry. I was drunk and it wasn't my party. I was a guest.") but I'm not hearing it because he only tried apologizing to me through other people or only when other people are around. Fcuk you Skyler. If you were really sorry you would try to pull me to the side and apologize one-on-one. When negativity enters my life I dispose of it as soon as possible. Therefore, you're out of my life. I wish you the best Skyler.

In other news, I'm at the library right now and it's been so random today. Within the first twenty minutes of me sitting down one guy asks me:

"By any chance would you have an iPod charger?"

(It gets better.)

Then another guy starts a conversation with me:

Weirdo: "I don't have my school ID with me, could I borrow your card to print something?"
Me: "Ummm, I don't have any cash on mine, so no."

I really didn't have any cash on my school ID. But come on?! I never saw you a day in my life and you're asking me for money. HA! Nice one duckie.

I think Connecticut's aggravating me lately because I haven't been home in a month. I'm going through with withdrawals and I decided I'm gonna go home this Friday!



I'm so excited. I get to roam the city as late as I want. I get to hear hobos sing for money on the train. I get to hear Puerto Rican babies cry in grocery stores. I get to escape from this bubble they call Hartford! Yaaaaay!

But you know what I miss too? I miss working out.



I used to workout before my afternoon classes and I would feel so amazing afterwards. The endorphins would get me through the day and I was looking hot. Like hotter than I do now. (How marvelous is that?!) So yeah, I gotta hit the gym and finally start my "I'm-not-gonna-look-fat-in-my-21st-birthday-pics" diet."

Anywho, last night I made a new friend. His name is B! (like the E! Channel) and it was weird how close we got in the matter of hours. He's such a chill dude and we have eerily similar qualities.



It's always fun to befriend and to be around people who are actually doing things with their lives too. Amazing!

Oh! Duckies, I have a theory; listen up!
Mondays suck right? Well pretty much every weekday sucks (except Friday). So I figured something out so weekdays are bearable. When in doubt, dress accordingly.

Dress how you want to feel, whether it's sexy, distinguished, shy...whatever. If you dress how you feel your garments will send out messages (of your choice) to the universe and they will be answered. Try it!

Okay, I've waited long enough to give you some "Words of Wisdom." Here it is:

"Never assume the motives of others. People function off of different principles and no one is the same. Feel things out before you prematurely judge another. And you know what they say when you assume; you make an ass out of yourself and I point and laugh."
(Well that's what I say about assuming lol.)

Anywho duckies, I need to get back to my homework. I wish you the best of happiness. Stay true.

Peace, love & Obama,
Gabriel Anderson

Commercialized Love

Duckies, duckies, duckies. I am on cloud nine. I am currently single but I am so married to myself. I'm so in love that I find myself giggling when people sass me.


I'm like a sassy little schoolgirl who laughs when people throw Elmer's glue at me. lol

Anyway, today is Friday the 13th (oOoOoOo) and people are freaking out. I don't believe in bad luck because once you believe in it, it gains power over you.

(Story Time, yay!)
Well one day it was raining and I didn't feel like waiting until I got outside to open my umbrella;I was so over the rain. So I open my umbrella indoors and OMG...


people started running away from me like I had leprosy. (Even some of my friends ran away!!!)
Why fear this day of all days? What's so scary about "13?" It's just a number. Many movies have been made about it (Friday the 13th) but come on. Let's grow up! How do you think the number 13 feels?



Speaking of feeling, I found an angel. Edie from HarperCollins is going through a life-changing experience and she is still helping me out; making sure that I get an internship with HarperCollins.



How precious is she? You're fantastic at life, Edie!

Since we're talking about precious things...I have two precious duckies in my life. Whenever I see them I am filled with pure joy. Whenever I speak to them I can't help but smile. When we hug, I feel electricity surging through my veins. It's marvelous to be around Lesley and Tamara. Today, when I was walking in Gengras Student Union I saw an old friend selling Valentine's Day goodies (for UHAGC: University of Hartford Gospel Choir). I was persuaded to donate money for a gift and I had no idea who I was going to give the gift to; my mind was drawing a blank. I'm trying to think and I end up turning to the right and I see...beautifully, bubbly Tamara. (God had sent me a sign!)



Seeing her made me love Valentine's Day even more...so instead of just buying one gift, I bought one for Lesley too! I love those girls; their presence evokes the warmth of the Sun. Happy Valentine's Day Eve duckies!

In other news, I've recently been adopting a new style. I am obsessed with Hobo Chic attire.



It's basically dressing like a hobo, without the odor or unemployment. You basically mix and match layers and believe in the outfit. Not everyone can pull off the look...this is not for beginners duckies! Beginners usually end up looking like this...



Anywho, I was at the library not too long ago and I decided to start blogging there (before I got kicked out because the library closes at 6pm on Fridays. WTF?!) But I love big screens.


(Actual picture...look how big the screen is compared to my fedora. Huge and obnoxious. Rar-Rar! My laptop is a 17". I wanted a 22" but my Mom said "no.")

Anyway, when I was blogging the computer was taking sooooooo long to load pages. I was getting so pissed off. I guess the library didn't focus on depth (like functionality and Internet speed) but focused more on "oOoO, this is pretty." I guess it worked because I was lured lol.
Oh my friend Porsha says she hates people who use the group computers (the big one I was using by myself) so I just want to give her a shout-out; telling tell her that I was on the big screen computer, blogging & on Facestalking people. (OoOoOo, word of the week.)

The Word of the Week is:

Facestalking - the act of closely observing the life of another through Facebook; creepily conducting research on someone's personal life; a good way to procrastinate from doing homework.


Ex: "Girl, did you read Gabriel's status?"
"Of course I did. I started Facestalking him right after he changed it."

Okay duckies, it's time for today's "Words of Sassdom:"

"Opinions are faulty things. Do not believe in what others perceive because perception is deciphered by experience and you may not have the same experience as another duckie. Think and experience for yourself."

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and so many people hate it. Alyssa made a great point the other day:

"Valentin's Day is kind of silly. Why should you show me more love on a particular day just because people say you should?! Show me some love on February 15th."

(I'm sure that's what she said...well at least along the lines of.)

But some people just flat-out hate it, like my friend Rebecca.



For all those who hate Valentine's Day, I apologize for the asshole that ruined such a beautiful commercialized holiday for you.



Happy birthday Ernie! (Your b'day was yesterday but I'll be at your party tonight!)

Also, shout-out to Justin. Happy Birthday, GROUP D!!!

Duckies, it's about that time for me to get ready for my A-list weekend. Happy (early) Valentine's Day and enjoy your weekend.

I wish you the best of happiness. Stay true.

Peace, love & Gabriel,
Gabriel Anderson
