Mission: Black(out)Berry

Yo duckies, what's going on? I hope you're feeling beautiful today because...you are, duh! lol

I am growing tired of Mother Nature's indecisiveness.

Earlier today (when it wasn't below 100 degrees like it is now, at 4:47AM), I thought it would be nice to be outdoors. I took my personal green folding chair and I sat outside for a bit, taking in as much fresh(ly-polluted) air as I could.

It was absolutely refreshing, being one with Mother Nature (when she isn't sassing the world because no one can see her).

Speaking of one with nature, I recently find myself less dependent on electronic forms of communication...only when I don't have any set appointments with fellow A-Listers. But what really sasses me red is I have to send emails from my laptop nowadays.

Duckies, Blackbird easily sends out emails...even while it plays music; every email had its own song. I miss that! Come back to life Blackbird!

Being the A-Lister that you know me to be I was walking about campus today and OMG...I ran into Jon. Jon is the nicest kid in the world and...he has a BlackBerry; how better can he possibly get? Anywho, I told him my parents were punishing me (blaming me for the crazy bill...I have no idea how my bill almost exceeded $500) by keeping my phone off until Friday. Jon told me his bill was $600 this month...I smell a Verizon BlackBerry conspiracy.

Verizon Wireless get it together. I know your purpose in life is to follow that annoying guy around the U.S. in every commercial but cut me some slack. My BlackBerry is my life; cut the $hit!

In other news, I picked up my first Playboy Magazine today.

(Thanks Pete!)

What caught my attention was Aubrey O'Day; yes, she posed for Playboy's March 2009 edition. (She's beautiful...don't sudge her!) The nudity didn't really excite me (we all know what team I'm on) but I did observe the naked women. I am a beauty enthusiast and I fell in love with the magazine, only a couple pages in. Aside from the nudity (I thought this was a myth) the articles are well-written and witty. I liked the magazine so much that I'm going to mail my subscription card later today...yaaaay! I need Playboy Magazine in my life.

OH, I forgot to mention this! As you know the J Boys (Justin and Jordan) were on our show last night and they were as fun as usual. (You should have been listening duckies!) Before the show they told me they had a surprise for Rockstar and I. I thought they were going to make us t-shirts or something...ha!
Justin and Jordan created an online "Rar-Rar" gift shop for us! OMG, I was almost in tears when they showed us but the caffeine pills wouldn't allow it.

The link to the shop is http://cafepress.com/rarrar. We have everything: tote bags, t-shirts, notebooks, thongs, mugs, flip HD cameras, baby bibs, posters, hoodies, chocolate. (Okay, we don't have our own chocolate...yet lol.) Our faces are on everything...but it is done is such a tasteful manner. And who wouldn't want my face or Rockstar's face on everything?! I'm sure blind people would even want our gear...what?! lol

Jordan...Justin...I love you guys so much. Thank you for everything.

Okay duckies since we're on a good note let's get to some "Words of Wisdom."

"In order to build something substantial you must first create a strong belief. It is only with an unwavering sense of belief that you can build something beautiful. However, if you start pondering doubt more than faith, your substantial being will crumble before your eyes."

I had little mix-up with the date for Alyssa's B'Day celebration. It's actually scheduled for tonight...and I can't wait for the hibachi guy to melt my face off.

Leana: You are my beautiful moon. (I didn't say Sun because it's so annoying when you see it creeping through your windowsill, when you're up as late as I usually am.) I love you. Thank you for being you.

Molly Red: I love you.

Ms. Labrie: It sucks that I only got to hang out with you for no longer than two hours last night. I want you to know that I love you and I love hanging out with you. We have to go to the shooting range...I want a bad-a$$ burn scar too lol. (Just not on my precious face...oh no!)

Eddie: Unfortunate things happen all the time and dealing with these situations productively is when we are able to see our true self. Keep your head up fam!

Evy: You sexy little cupcake, you! I understand things are not going as planned but I'm incredibly sure this is for the best. Yes, time waits for no one but sometimes time just needs to take a breather and stop pressuring us. We are only human but I see a great deal of strong preciousness in you. I am here if you need me. (You have to call me though...BlackBerry is still down lol). Love you!

Graham: Chile, what are you doing calling me at 3:02am? I was in the shower lol. I miss you! We need to do lunch today. I'll be in the library pretty much the entire day. Call me, you know I can't call you lol.

Pete: LOL, thanks for calling in the radio show twice last night and thanks for my first Playboy...aow! "You the bat, Bruce!"

Okay duckies, the Sun is creeping behind the clouds and I have tons of work to do today, yaaay!

I wish you the best of happiness. Stay true.

Peace, love & Obama,
Gabriel Anderson

Two days for the price of sleep

Hello duckies! I have no idea how I'm still awake. Oh yea I do: caffeine pills, yay!



Kids, don't do drugs unless they're sugar-laced...then that makes them fugs (fun drugs)...yay! LOL okay, all jokes aside drugs are bad and caffeine pills are drugs so...you get the picture duckies. Do not go to the campus bookstore and buy them because you have a paper you have to finish editing that's due in less than 24 hours! Woohuh!
But drugs aside, I think its a damn good paper.

It's entitled "The 'Nowadays' Feminist." With this paper (as mentioned in my earlier post) I juxtaposed Elle Woods (Legally Blonde) and Andrea Sachs (The Devil Wears Prada) and how they are the new kind of feminist. To get into specifics I discussed how beauty correlates with sexism and how it effects women in the workplace. Through Elle's and Andrea's professional journeys they both reach a point where they find themselves; and with their new found self they are able to subconsciously and overtly promote feminism.

I just emailed Naomi a copy (hey duckie) and she hasn't IMed me back yet...maybe because it's horribly fabulous. Yay! Or maybe she isn't going to read it yet lol. I want to thank you Naomi for being there from the very beginning (freshman year, my blog...Cup Noodles lol). You know I love you more than puppy poop.
(If you duckies want to read my paper I'd be more than happy to email you a copy. Shoot an email to Agardner@hartford.edu and I'll reply.)

Speaking of horribly fabulous, I called my Dad from Samantha's phone today, (thanks Sam), while she, Francis, William and I waited for our food at the Nest. (Are you ready for this duckies?)
Blackbird won't be on until...FRIDAY! AHHHHHHH!



I just looked at my calendar and I realized this upcoming Friday is the second Friday the 13th of 2009...I think lol. Anywho, my Dad said my bill a was around $500...who the fcuk has been using my phone to call Hell?!


(Sorry if this image scared you...it's just me in make-up. Oh Freshmen year. The memories.)

Anywho, as I mentioned in my previous post I received the position as a preceptor for a Freshmen class on a survey of Toni Morrison's novels. I am so excited. But more importantly I am grateful to have Professor Beckford as an instructor...because she recommended me for the position!

Professor Beckford you are one of the most precious human beings I've ever met and you're such a remarkable instructor.
(Side Note: Duckies, this is not sucking up. I am showing my gratitude. Plus I have a paper due tomorrow and in no way is it going to be graded any gracefully than the next.)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

In other news, last night I was chatting online with Phil (he's my frikking sanity on days like this) and we discovered that we both love Batman. This isn't like "oh yeah, Batman's cool" kind of adoration. This is "if Batman were a real person we'd be stalking the Bat Cave, in our Batman PJs and matching capes" kind of obsession.

(Maybe not that much...okay I'm lying lol.)
I love you Batman!
He's my favorite superhero because he's just a mortal man who kicks a$$ like no other. Plus, he's like the only superhero who doesn't have crappy relationships, hates their life or is broke; Batman/Bruce Wayne is the man...I mean..."you the Bat, Bruce." lol

Tonight Rockstar and I will be on our radio show, "Rar-Rar w/ Rockstar and DJ Squiggz."


Our show is from 9pm to 10pm.
You can listen/watch us online (there's a live webcam in the studio) at wsam.hartford.edu or if you're lazy and you live on campus turn to Channel 5 on your TV or tune your radio (people still have those?) to 105.3FM.
We'll play those new jams you love so much and tonight the J Boys will be in the studio with us.(Check out their website: jboyswsam.webs.com) If you wanna request a song or just wanna talk to us sexy duckies the number for the station is (860) 768-4768! Call in tonight!

Okay, I've held it off long enough...let's get to some "Words of Wisdom."

"When peril tries to back you into a corner don't freeze to think: react! You are highly capable of defending yourself because you're smart, beautiful and you love yourself...so kick some a$$."




Alyssa: You have no idea how great it feels having the privilege of calling you a people-friend. I love hanging out with you, whatever you touch turns fabulous and I want you to take this day and shove some A-list cake down its throat. Happy birthday! (I wanna come to Ginza but I don't think I'll be able to go because my show starts at 9. Call me if anything...I can't call you lol.)

Molly Red: I love you and I got your back like a door has a handle. (Lol what?!)

Monica: The sandwich quote was the post you commented on lol. "The end is the best part, duh!" lol. I love you.

Jordan: Thank you for keeping me sane in the WSAM meeting last night...lol I was so over it. Thanks for being a friend.

Justin: Get ready for Group D all summer boyeeeeeee! (What? What?!)

Diamond: Thank you for the blow pop and thank you for keeping me focused last night lol. Your lesson plan is going to be fabulous!

William: Roomy! (Francis told me to do it lol) Love ya!

Alexis: I love running into you at the library and at Dialogues. Ugh, I love you.

Okay duckies, I gotta go get some lunch with Francis and William before I pass out lol.

I wish you the best of happiness. Stay true duckies.

Peace, love & Obama,
