bakers dozen

this weeks shot of b-12... for an added twist the last few quotes will be funny/ interesting/ inspirational quotes that I pulled from blogs I've read over the weekend... and of course the obligatory picture to summarize it all

"Chris you neglect me like a stepchild that looks like the other parent" -- my friend Nomi telling me how I don't pay him attention anymore

"Listen please get off of me, I'm not touchy feely just ask your uncle he'll agree with that" -- my linesister talking to her fiance's niece who hovered over our shoulders all day Saturday

"Hi, Aunt Chrissy I'm dying" -- what my two and a half year old nephew said when I answered the phone after his "life threatening" fiasco where he fell and busted his lip

"You have to have at least one kid with him. But don't worry we have strong genes, so your kids won't look anything like him, I mean look at my kids C is their dad and they are still gorgeous" -- lol what my sister said after she told me this guy she wants to "hook me up" with isn't a looker but is a millionaire.

shop owner: your boobs really messed you up
me: they've been messing me up since I was like 10, whats new
-- conversation between me and the bridal salon owner on why I'd be spending more on alterations since I had to order two sizes up due to my "twins" needing to be accomodated

"oh my gawd, I have never seen anything like that in my entire life" -- bridal salon owner who thought she was whispering to her assistant talking about one of the bridesmaids measurements... 34-28-47 (no she didn't have big hips that's 47 inches of ass)

gp: I'm going to protest on thursday
me: where are you going to protest?
gp: somewhere in DC, hopefully where I can be seen and heard
me: good shyt, you want to be on the front line making a statement huh
gp: nah I just want to look cute and be seen on the news
-- part of the "deep" conversation between the ghetto princesss from last weeks post and me on why she was protesting thursday

"he once tried to impress my sister and I by telling us he was a Sigma. *Twirling finger in the air* whoop-dee-freakin-doo. You're not automatically cute to me now. " -- Chevonne talking about the rico suave guy on her father's baseball team

"The Jheri curl is like cockroaches...only a nuclear explosion can wipe them out" -- Black Lilly in her entry where she used her camera phone on the train to take a shot of a woman with a "curl"

"u have been my best friend, mentor confidant, and greatest challenge. But most important you have been the love of my life and I feel more loved then I thought ever possible and happier then I ever imagined" -- my friend Nina (who will not let me link to her blog) talking about her fiance Gabe *tear*

"I am sorry for the big and beautiful people out there but I just have to say it. When you squeeze skinny people like me when you sit your fat ass down because you think I am small enough to move over...YOU ARE WRONG!!!! It's uncomfortable!!! Please pay for the 2 seats that you taking up rather than take half of mine for free, THANK YOU!!!" -- Aneka talking about using public transportation lol

"If you're getting married you should do it for love. And I mean true love, not twisted, f-ed up love. But it can't stop at love. You have to take into account your compatibility. This is for life! Would you buy a house with a leaky roof and weak floorboards to live in? Then why would you choose a life partner without considering every aspect?" -- Erin (this needs no explaination)


this bridge leads to where I spent most of my time this weekend. My favorite borough, where some of my closest friends live, where I spent a lot of weekends in undergrad, home of many "hidden treasures" and where I'll probably live if I ever move back to NY... Brooklyn
