"Deadline is over"....and so is student life...

I hated my uni [because it was so disorganised and rubbish - a lot of teaching drama etc] but I loved learning stuff and the crazy people I allowed to befriend me [lol]. The name of the third and final end of year party/rave/prom was terribly cringey....'Irresistaball' [I shudder]...but it was still fun!

I decided to ditch the new dress I was gonna wear because it was didn't allow me to lunge [I lunge in all of my outfits to make sure they don't hold me back from shaking a leg on tha dancefloor lol]. Even though I always wear something new to the end of year parties, I didn't care.....I had finished uni....that was exciting enough for me to go in a bin liner. No WAY did I wear a bin liner, but I did wear something old. I wore my beautifully vintage NIKE BODYSUIT [THE HOTTEST NIKE BODYSUIT EVER....I love it to death!], my MISS SELFRIDGE PEPLUM DENIM SKIRT, my old'n'fatithful NIKE SB BLAZERS and my MINNIE MOUSE EARS! Unfortunately, the ears don't show up too well in photos because they blend in with my hair colour but they did the trick on the night!!!

Me and tap water.....[So what! I'm a cheap ass and proud of it lol]


The girls surrounding me with their FREE half-eaten candyfloss that NO ONE told me about...losers!!

I love this photo...lol...my comment of facebook says: "JODIE! U LOOK LIKE UR HOLDING AN IMAGINARY CAN OF CRACK!"......you will see why.....me and her both danced harder than a Class A...


"AAHH- PUSH IT......P-PUSH IT REAL GOOOD...duh duh-duh duh duh dur-nur-nur-nur nur..etc..."

HEYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!


These dudes! TOOO FUNNY! My old flatmate Ricky [on the left] and his cousin were on some other planet that night...you cant tell by the look on my face that they were nuts!




The dudes at their most calmest....me and the gals had didn't let them out-dance us though...ARE YOU CRAZY? NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO UPSTAGE US lol!

It was a good night....sad too....I knew we would never be students ever again after that night... :(


I did a lil reminiscing over the past three years of uni proms as there were too many random photos from many other raves....here are a few of them from my first year and second year...

The puffiest, pinkest puffball dress ever known to man [and my wardrobe]....I wanted to shock my friends for the 1st year prom because everyone knows how I feel about puffs and pinks...don't do 'em....

Shoots Willis and Leaves

"You just couldn't keep away could ya......you just had to sign in...."




Yes. I signed in. No. I couldn't keep away. And yes, I am ashamed of it [haha!].




Okay so I could keep this blog updated with funk-that sweet-that hood proper -gushy stuff cos at present my work consists of reading books about Hip Hop and Pop culture. I keep finidng out loadsa really interesting things but I will post these at the end of the month or I will never [ARGGHHHHH my eyes just saw the time......aww damn...i was only supposed to browse the net for a bit not an HOUR and a bit....curse my- erm no - how dare my wondering thoughts try and curse my eyes....stupid subconscious audible thoughts] yea .....[ermmm I will never...] leave uni if I don't try and cram/study for the next few weeks.



I confessed to a friend that as well writing journalistically [istically x 100]I wanted to write....academically [SHOCK HORROR] after reading these music/pop culture/karl marx books because I always feel the urge to blab on too much.....[as you can tell]....and you can't really blab in journalism. People get bored - no one hires you - you're boring. BUUUUUUT - when you write your own books n that so what if someone gets bored....you released a damn book didn't ya! You get instant credit AND cos no one hires ya... no one fires ya! SCORE! I'm sure there are some Marxist theories that no gives a damn about cos its so dry...but he probably knew this so he spent bare time writing crap for us losers [those at the Frankfurt school got patience!!] to sift through.....I likes that theory.....write bare crap then when you die someone will make your work better than it was.....this doesn't apply to rap music. Yes - everything I just said was a bunch of nonsense....I just miss writing on here and wanted to abuse this right.





OMGOSH - I have just finished writing a page of my dissertation on how New Kids On The Block RIPPED off black music [NKOTB - I still love you guys!!! I'm just writing bad stuff bout you cos I want a higher mark on my musical thesis!!] anywho.... whilst I read up about them I stumbled across this.....





Donnie Wahlberg has been in a lot of films, because he always randomly pops up somewhere and Ihave to rub my eyes and ask 'Why is Mark Wahlberg looking so OLD'.
Anyways.....this is gonna shock you but.....[drum solo from Travis Barker...drool]....DONNIE WAHLBERG PLAYED THAT CRAZY GUY IN SIXTH SENSE!!!!!!!
I'm still in shock......he is a VERY good actor.....all those roles Marky Mark gets should be given to the better Wahlberg.......





HEEEEEERES DONNIE!

Don't tell me I'm wrong because the film credits do say that the guy above is Donnie 'uh-oh oooo-oh , THE RIGHT STUFF!' Wahlberg

*I am* Contemplating kites and Proper....[I would never do that by the way :0) smiley face with a clown nose is much betta]

Crayola will be MINE!

I'm stressed. I have too many essays to complete in the last four weeks of my prison sentence.
Uni is bad. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
I'm typing this while my brother considers whether he should pick the blue pencil over the burgundy one.
I watch him colour in his Power Rangers characters. He holds the picture up, 'hmmm', more contemplating.
The pencil is now down to the last grain and my hairs stand on end due to the horrible sound it makes.
I love watching my brother stress over keeping every pencil stroke within the lines. I used to be the same.
Picking the right colour for the saber is his biggest stress right now. Right now I would gladly trade in my essays for a colouring book. If only he knew that those 'fun times' running, aimlessly, in the playground will soon be a distant memory ......he'd probably use those crayola's for firewood.
That's it. I'm getting a colouring book.

I wanna blog like crazy but I can't because of my work. Just four weeks and I shall be all over this like flies on dog crap. Amber on Kanye. Or Christina Milian on....whoever. [Note: I love Ms. Milian - she's so cute!]

And someone asked me why I'm not blogging as much as I did before. Let's be real, I'm not friggin Kanye he may have the status to employ a team of ghostbloggers. I don't.

*I am* ......Huh! Oh and Proper

Diss my Dissertation

Apparently, when people are doing essays their breaks consist of walking away from the computer for a second to get a snack, to go to the toilet blah blah....

When I take breaks, it consists of walking away from my laptop....and repeating the same actions towards the tube station, preferably backwards for added effect of total nonchalance as to who I bump into....much like The Verve video but better....
[I stole these pics off my friends as my camera is lost somewhere...or I just can't be bothered to look harder haha!]
Wednesday, March 5th : A friend's 21st meal


Kara's Brain: "Hmm....where's the pound saver menu???"

"E3 L-O-N TIGER TIGER"


Hide stuff under tables and smile*private joke that is funnier than my dry captions*

The 21st hottie and the girls[dem]!

March 6th 'Ghana Independence' THURSDAY: 'Shopping' and dilly dallying in LDN



Hello Kitty x MAC Launch @ Selfridges...or Harrods....obviously, I weren't bothered where I was - I just wanted to get away from my laptop

Kara's Brain: "Hmmm... maybe if I get the angle right I think I should be able to land head first on the Hello Kitty x Mac stand....."

Hood and Proper x The Sweet and Colourful World of Me x Leopard Print and Lace


I remixed BlackStreet especially for this dude defacing the Hello Kitty brand: 'I like the way you work it - NO DIGNITY!" We all need to put food on our table somehow but DAMN!



The horse whisperer and biatch kassidy


My moustache brings all the boys to the yard!!



The Boneyard scene in the Lion King is a little further to the back of this pic

So that was my break - looks better than that boring leg stretch I usually do! I won't do it again though, too risky...I might just leave uni for good!

Oh and yes - it was Ghana 52nd Independence day on March 6th.....I completely forgot due to my essay stress and forgot to wear something in homage to my homies....so I'ma wear a kente hairclip tomorrow ...if I'm in the mood for hair sticking to my forehead under the spotlights at work!

And after the Ghana Ind. hype at Stratford Rex years ago [where my Mum made me a lovely dress amongst other big preparations and all my friends and family didn't get in but some Nigerian boys from uni did] I shall NEVER go to one ever in the UK. A HUGE HYPE! I will celebrate it IN Ghana from now on!!WOOOO!!!

*I am* Switching Celebrity Deathmatch off cos it's so dry and Proper
