thank you's

i am currently sitting in my yellow wall-painted living room, on the
brown couch, looking oh so slumpified in my pjs and bun on top of my head


yes, these are my saturday mornings.
mascara on from the previous night, and cellphone losing batterylife as it sits next to me unplugged

i woke up, not with a full on anxiety attack but a little anxiety because i realized me being a lazy bum isnt cutting it this morning...i have one last scholarship essay to write, and a long set of thank you's that have been long overdue.

i wrote one to my grandmother. and as i closed that envelope and began to make a list of all the other 8 people who i needed to send one too i realized two things

1) am i me ? or am i just a mixture of all the other people who have had significant influential grasps on my life ? am i gabrielle jacqueline horton ? or a all of the amazing teachers, deans, grandmothers, aunts, godfathers, uncles, cousins, etc who have played such a large role in my life ?
2) i realized... my mom should be a part of that 8, but i suppose i feel that shes my mom. i live with her. and me saying thank you is enough . i dont really know the logic behind it or why am i not that nice to her... but ill make up for it



GRADUATION -- SIX DAYS SIX SIX SIX SIX :)

Carrie Fever

today was the day.


may thirtieth, two-thousand eight.

the release of

SEX AND THE CITY: THE MOVIE

most people get excited about fighting movies, or superhero movies,
not me oh no ... i love a good romantic comedy with beautiful fashion pieces
from beginning to end, not to mention in fabulous new york.
welcome to my world.





this movie was more than a movie i have to admit
i cried, i laughed, i smiled, i feared for the characters..all that jazz
but i walked out of the theatre realizing... i believe in those four words

l-o-v-e .
this movie helped me to redefine my own terms and my own "rules" regarding this word, that i believe is often thrown around and stepped on quite too often; a word that i use for friends and some family members; a word that i have been unable to express to a significant other nor my own "father". and as carrie bradshaw wrestled with these four words for the entire length of the movie, i too wrestled with her, trying to figure out how did i get to be this anti-sappy woman ? or maybe its that im waiting on my own MR. BIGG to come and show me what the word means...

love LOVE amour amore -- im a believer again :)

eyes borrowed from the stars

strippers...making ralphs runs to make those ends meet


i am happy that...
i have friends who understand my ice cream addiction/fiend
i have friends who not only understand, but partake and join with me in that addiction
i have friends who accept me... hippie, weird, eclectic, or not...ME
i went to poetry tonight. snaps snaps snaps all day


in the words of ice cube -- today was a good day

went to school, all school assembly last one for the year
actually racked up 2two2 awards. so i pat myself on the back
because i have to say...high school was not as easy socially or academically
for me, so i had to spread my wings and learn how to do things gabies way. not that i disregard everyone else's way (sometimes i do)...i just had to find out what worked for me, and it took me a while but it is nice to be recognized.


& yearbooks.
they remind me of the end, the memories, the "good luck at tufts in the fall" messages,
the good times ... my high school life

1, 2, 3, SPREAD

part two of jazzreggae fest
was ...



















yesterday was def much better, jamming to the roots and all
but today was funny....sit back and watch all the crazy outfits,
hairy legs, cellulite jiggle, "ganja" smoke go in the air,
pimp daddies, doodoo daddies, and probably
your daddy too trying to holla,
get some digits, and be my "phone buddy"



last day of school tomorrow ? or wednesday ? another pointless drive
but ... time is ticking down...
10days left til graduation :)

ps::oh and the song below is hot, even bobby brown
knew what was up and showed up at the reggaefest today

QUASIE

TODAY --

Captain Kirk Douglass of the ROOTS

tomorrow is the roll the blunt, puff puff day :)

may twenty-fourth

today ...
= me + lindsay + darius

charitys graduation made me realized
that i have about... 90 days left in LA
and that i have some of the best friends
one could ever ask for.


theres been a lot going on, probably too much
a lot on my mind, so i havent been quite
sure what to say on my blogspot
so ill just throw some words out there



trust time sex fathers father-less "bouncing back"
lies maturity anger pain beingused
relationships single "officially unofficial" LA Boston

hmm

last post was too long,
so i clicked delete



but today i realized....
my impatience and temper
only leads to me having to apologize for it in the long run
i thought i adopted the whole "i dont care attitude"
but i guess i do care..well sometimes...

**love phases -- track 6, by marc payne

popping my own cherry

sooo this is my first post.
i was inspired to create one because i realized that i can keep in contact with erin bo bearin has one, and shes in spain for a while this summer...


eh .. im ready for summer to be here, and i never really say that
but school is just so monotonous lately. and a waste of gas money going alllllll the way to coldwater/ventura everyday in my cute soccer mom green volvo ...two classes most days.

prom just happened so i guess ill post pics of that later...that was amazing, not how they make it to be in the corny tv shows and whatnot, but i had an amazing time :)


more to come later,
gabrielle
