I want YOU!

. . .To help me pick out a Halloween Costume :]

I decided that this year won't be the year I grow up and resort to simply giving out Halloween candy instead of collecting it on my own. Whatever, whatever - I do what I want.

And even if I don't go trick-or-treating because I'm not sure if my city neighbors have the same sense of humor as the ones I grew up with in the suburbs, I'm definitely dressing up in some way and doing something.

So these are the options I've come up with so far:

Dionne (From Clueless)

Because I love that movie in a really unhealthy way and kind of already own the outfit. 

Storm (From X-Men) 

Because in my mind, I'll be Halle Berry for a night dressed as a superhero.

Note: I'm not crazy about the store's costume, which means I'll probably re-create it, but you get the idea.

Sookie Stackhouse (From True Blood) 

Because if you follow my blog even a little bit, you already know how I feel about that show. 

. . .Now you might be wondering - why wouldn't you be Tara, from True Blood? Well, because that's too obvious, lol. I know Tara and I have that whole "being black thing" in common but Sookie would pose a challenge. Besides - if I dress as Tara, I'm gunna need someone to be my LaFayette which would require me recruiting a team of True Blood fans and blah, blah, blah. . .

If you have another "vision" for me, I'm open to ideas. I will say that I have already dressed up as the following:

• An Egyptian Princess

• Sailor

• Lady bug

•Baseball Player

• A member of "TLC"

• Super Woman

• Cat (although not Cat Woman. . hmm.)

Thanks in advance for any advice! I hope you guys are enjoying your fake Columbus Day as much as I am. 

Also - Look out for a post later on my featured follower idea. 

Don't call it a comeback

What's this? A Triple Whammy Post!

I can't believe it's already Thursday. I'm gunna be honest - I don't know how you people with full time jobs, kids, lives, etc. do this whole blogging consistently (about something people care to read about) thing. And it's sad because in my profession I really should know how to it. #Kanyeshrug

HOWEVER, I'm going to learn! Because guess who got a full-time job!? Okay, I'll tell you. ME.

I can no longer spend my days bullshitting on Netflix  job searching because I have my first official, 9-to-5 gig. This is as real as real gets, folks. Had to put on my big girl pants and at first it was an odd fit, but I'm filling them out now.

And to think it all happened before I had the opportunity to get this shirt...

The best part? This is a job in my field where I'm not being exploited! I can't get into detail about it (well, I can - but what's the fun in that?) but I will say that I get to write about shows like Dance Moms a lot more, and you know how much that puts a smile on my face.

& Finally, thanks from J for the Happy Birthday wishes! He felt famous and especially appreciated those comments about him being cute. Lol.

Mr. Carrymel turns 24!

The next biggest thing to happen to the world since July 27th is today. October 4th. 

Otherwise known as J's birthday!!!

I'm gunna be cheesy, romantic and predictable and write him an open letter and you're gunna like it. So here goes.

*Ahem*

Dear J,


I'll start off by saying happy, happy, happyyyyyyyy birthday because it only seems right. I know that today is a big day for you since it was the day you were born, but I celebrate you everyday, just like I celebrate us everyday (not just on an anniversary). Your special day means a lot to me, and I want you to know that you have made every single birthday I've had with you phenomenal, and I will strive to give you nothing less. Someone as unique and good-hearted as you deserves the world, and while a lot of people have been privileged enough to have you in their life, I am the only one who you've let into your heart like this and I am honored. I want this day to be fantastic, magnificent, and a COLOSSAL great time for you because as hard as you work everyday, you deserve to feel all of those positive vibes you give out to everyone ten times as much on your day.

You are my very best friend, bullfrog, and yes, I'm tearing up typing this (you know how I do).

Happy Birthday Babe!

(See how I did that in your favorite colors? Haha. I'd totally marry me. . .but again, this isn't about me. This is about you :P)

Loving you the most,

Nhya aka
