Hola!
Hola! How would one advertise themselves? Most would say that advertising is trying to get people to take notice of something, like a product. Well, these blogs are here to advertise the people behind the blogs. So if I were to advertise myself, you'd probably find me doing an ad for some retro-vintage store wearing granny glasses, tie-dye, and bell-bottoms. That's who I am, I'm your average, every day, modern hippie beat-nik. I wear retro clothes, and I like older music. To tell you a little about me, I have a somewhat large family, most of them living in central Kentucky. I have a dad named Steve, a little sis named Jessica, but we call her Jessie, a mom named Brenda, and a step-dad named Greg.
I'm 19 and I'm a college student. This is my 2nd year at Gateway Community and Technical College. I'm going for an Associates Degree in Graphic Design. I enjoy listening to music and reading books in my off time, I love all kinds of music, like R&B, jazz, British Invasion-era, rock, Latin, club/techno(Rihanna), new wave, like U2 and Coldplay. I enjoy reading alot, my favorite books are The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, and I enjoy reading books about people because I enjoy learning new things about people I never knew before. My dad owns alot of biographies on people I have no idea who they are, mainly just British actors and comedians he likes. I only own 3, 2 are on actors, 1 is on a band I like. But when I'm not doing homework for school, I usually have my head stuck in a book or are listening to music. It's one of the simple pleasures I have. On Friday it's my birthday and I'm getting Chinese food for dinner.
I'm turning 20 and I could care less.Anymore, birthdays are like just another day to me. Some of the goals I have for the near future is to simply graduate, nothing too hard. And for the far future, I want to travel the world, see some of the beautiful places in the world, like China, Japan, Italy, Australia. I enjoy traveling everywhere. The teachers here at Gateway are totally awesome. They're always here to help and that is good. I'm enjoying every second of school I can, because soon I'll graduate and I'll be in the working world. Some think it's scary, but I'm looking forward to it. My dad tries to say it's hard, and for all I know, he might be right, but I'll just have to wait and see. My dad says I'll be one of those super, peppy, happy, cheery people in the morning who greets everyone with a million dollar smile. I'm not going to be like that in the morning, but I will enjoy my job.
Because if you see me in the morning, I'm not peppy, happy, cheery. I need my coffee to do that. I'm not a morning person unless I have my coffee! But I'm basically the kind of person that treats everyone with the kindness and respect I think they deserve. I'm hoping to go into a job like advertising or any job that involves CD cover design. Because in one of my classes here, my final project for this one class of mine, 2D design, was to create a CD cover for a band/artist we like, I did Aerosmith for my CD cover. It was a little blurry when it came out maybe because of the printer or something, but I'm proud of it. If I can land a job doing advertising or CD cover design, you'd think you bought me the world I'd be so happy.
I'm also the type of person that, when given the chance to do something, I go at it full force. I enjoy my work, and I'm not sure if that's a problem, but I enjoy doing graphic design, it's what interests me. Out of all the classes I've had here at Gateway, I'd have to say that my most favorite classes are the Intro to Computers, Fundamentals of Drawing, Computer Page Layout, 2D Design, my Macromedia Flash class, Corporate Identity. Those are my favorite classes because they are fun.

TV shows
Everyone has a favorite TV show, don't they? Well, I have a lot of favorites. Law and Order:SVU is my biggest favorite. I enjoy watching that show because it's actually good. And I watch this one show my step-dad got me hooked on. It's called Top Gear, it's a show out of England that my step-dad watches. It's about these 3 British guys who do stunts with cars. I'm also a big CSI:NY fan. I really don't watch TV all that much, because most of the time I have my head in a book reading or I'm working on something for school.
But at night when I'm not doing something school related, I watch TV. I recently started watching this show on TV called Glee. It's pretty cool, I like it. There's this other show I like watching because it's funny. It's called Everyone Hates Chris. It makes me laugh. Alot of the stuff on TV that I watch has to do with police work, like Criminal Minds, Cold Case, CSI:NY, Law and Order:SVU, Numb3rs(this is a show), it's almost like a pattern with me, I guess it's because when I was younger, I wanted to be a police officer.
The reason being that I'm tired of seeing criminals, pedophiles, rapists, you name it getting more rights than the victims. When a man rapes a woman, think about it, in court, the rapist's lawyer will make it almost sound like she seduced him into having sex and she cried rape. I guess that's the reason I wanted to be a cop when I was younger. But when I hear about all the fatalities that come out of being a cop, I quickly changed my mind and went into something else that interested me--art.
I figure since I love art, go into a job like that. But that's probably the reason I love police related shows, police work endlessly fascinates me. It's funny how things end up, huh? When you were younger, you liked certain things and when you grow up and look back, you think "man, did I really like that?" You think that it's corny, that the stuff you liked when you were younger is corny now.
Believe me, it's a pattern with me, I'll watch anything that has to do with music, police work or sometimes reality. Now, I'm not sure if Cake Boss is considered reality, but if it is, I love it. I just love how he does all these intricate little designs. If I ever get a cake from him, I want a Sopranos-themed cake, I love that show! And Dancing with the Stars? I actually do like that show because I enjoy dancing, whether it be ballet, tango, Swing, or club dancing like the cha-cha slide or whatever. I love dancing! If you ever see me at a club or something where there's dancing, you'll see I'm most happy when I'm dancing! But some of the people on the new season of it I can't actually believe are on there: Bristol Palin,
Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino. What he needs to do is wake up and smell the coffee-he is not impressive, yeah he may have a body like Stallone, but he isn't going to hook any chicks if his ego is bigger than the entire country of Italy. And now Bristol Palin, from what I hear, she's a diva, thinking that just because she is famous for having a child out of wedlock, she can win. That's now how it works. I hear this one comedian is going to try out, I think her name is Margaret Cho, I hear she's funny, so I hope she wins.

Birthdays: what a joy!
Birthdays: What a Joy: Why does it seem like as you get older, birthdays get less and less exciting? Does it seem like everyone else's birthday is better than mine and mine ends up being just another day? When I was younger, I used to be so anxious for birthdays to come because I would bake stuff in the oven and take them in for my classmates, nowadays, it's like "Caitlin, it's your birthday" and I say "Yeah whatever", or "Wow, I didn't even notice, it felt like another day". I guess it's part of growing up, you lose that special magic when it comes to birthdays and Christmas. When I was younger, I used to get up early to see what 'Santa' brought me, and I would have to wait until my parents woke up, but 2 years ago at Christmas, I was actually sick for the first time on the holidays.
My mom was pestering me Christmas Eve because she thought we loved our aunt more than her and it's not true, and it got me so upset that I had an upset stomach because of it. You see, in my family, having divorced parents isn't always easy, because no matter what, my parents will always speak bad about each other behind their backs, and they drag me and my sis into the middle.
But it just seems that as you grow up, Christmas loses that special magic, it's become too commercialized, it's all about who can spend the most on gifts, who can get the most gifts, having the biggest and best decorations on the block, I hate it. Every year at Christmas, I see commercials for people buying their non-deserving loved ones Cadillacs for gifts, expensive iPods, expensive stereo systems, you name it. In fact, last Christmas was just fine with me, I didn't get alot, but I didn't want alot.
My parents and aunt says it's hard to buy for me because they don't know what I like and don't like. It's that way when it comes to birthdays/Christmas. So, if you know me, you know I like music, reading, arts and crafts, etc.

Random Thoughts and Weird Moments
If anyone out there read any of my recent blogs, they would know that my sister has recently started dating. I thought she met 'the one', the Mr. Perfect for her, well, all is not well, last night she came home in tears, her boyfriend, I can't believe I'm saying this, texted her and said that his grandma wouldn't allow them to see each other anymore, that his grandma wants him to focus on school work and dating would tear his family apart!
Can you call this a WTF moment? Last night, I felt helpless, I didn't know what to do, I wanted to help, but I couldn't figure out what to do. She was an emotional wreck! But after she got over the initial blast of it, she perked up and said "If he doesn't have the common decency to call/text back, then f--- him" I swear to you all as you read this, that is what she really said. I wouldn't lie about something like that, she had me almost laughing at that. She's doing better but she worries that her nosy coworkers at Schneider's Sweet Shop are going to butt in as almost all teens do, not to mention, to add insult to injury, one of her stupid classmates said to her "You don't know what love is." Yeah right, that coming from a classmate everyone calls slutty and got knocked up and now she has a child, not to mention her parents hate her boyfriend.
Ah, high school drama. But, if you read this, you'll know the stress at home I deal with. I wish I could help my sister, but I'm clueless as to how to help her, I've never dated.
She's doing better now, but I still worry about her, I mean, she has to see this guy at school and her nosy classmates and coworkers are probably going to make life a miserable h--- for her, not ever letting her hear the end of it, but if I know my sister, she'll probably flip the finger to them or cuss them out in Italian or something. She's tough and I'm here to help and so is my dad.

How To Make Kd Without Milk?
Jordi Abelló specific: Dehumanization blurred Marja
The Catalan artist Jordi Abelló (Reus, 1970) presents in Castellón a compilation of his past jobs.
This time next to their paintings, we find a proposal that contextualizes and videographic allows theorizing of his work. The video, first of all, try to clarify the meaning of the room almost cinematic. It present the metaphysical character of the human and the atmosphere that surrounds our daily, in short, an atmosphere that may be destroyed at any time.
The main series of the sample being the title of the exhibition is Crim / Crime , is a small group of paintings format with which our artist tries to recreate the necessary investigations in relation to murder. Thus, we see little compositions in which the suspects are the players, giving free rein to speculation and conjecture, thus freeing an air of mystery in the room in search of the possible culprit. Similarly, the series Faces presented as a frieze shows her last portraits, such as close-ups of the series Crim / Crime , loaded with a great psychological and introspective, in which emulates the posters JA the police issued search and arrest.
addition part of the recent conflict in Baghdad prompted Jordi Abelló to capture on paper all the feelings that produced the situation that existed in Middle East. JA drawn to remember and record the facts, that many media presented to the viewer as a mere spectacle, so banal and totally without mercy. The artist intends, through about 1,300 pictures collected in thirteen books, highlight the plight of thousands of people terrorized by the fear and misery that brings all conflict.
On the other hand due to the genocide in Darfur, western Sudan set to work on the series From Leonardo to Darfur, which aims to show the connection between physical suffering of the paint surface and the earth as human habitat. Abelló work in this case on the spatial and temporal displacement creates an overlap, ie synchronization through a video projection. In "The Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci offers an arid landscape that allows the paint craquelé chapped be an arid land and desert like Darfur. JA evokes so, the face of time and evoking the land wound sensitization hidden behind the unbeatable dehumanization.
Leaving all bloody conflict, the Van Gogh series is planned as a tribute to the painter of the Netherlands, but at the same time endorses his previous series, since under the self-portrait latent blood circulating .
Thus, the author, through his series, makes Darfur, Baghdad, and Van Gogh an area where industry all the feelings and the essence of humanity behind the tragedy and suffering of being.
Jordi Abelló thus faces the viewer in front of the mirror a reality that surrounds us. Undoubtedly, you wake up the passive observer, oblivious and unresponsive in an active individual, coherent and sensitized to the successful conquest of dehumanization experienced by the Earth.

Random Thoughts and stuff
Random Thoughts: The title means what it means. Random thoughts just buzzing around. I recently discovered a new singer I like, people may have heard of her, Aaliyah. She's actually really good, I recently bought one of her albums, because I'm a big fan of R&B, which is the kind of music I was told she does. There's this one song by her I especially love, it's called 'Try Again'. It's really sad that she is no longer with us, she passed away in 2002, from a plane crash, poor girl. And not too long ago, I discovered the band U2, they are actually really good too. It's amazing what I can learn to like around others. Now, if anyone knows me well, they know what makes me annoyed, what makes me happy, what makes me calm, and so on and so forth. One thing that really ticks me off is when people are disrespectful to each other. Tremayne, whose blog is Quirky Embrace, he was right about people being selfish. I'm with him! He has a good head on his shoulders. People need to start being nicer to each other. And I believe there are more pressing matters to attend to than seeing/hearing about Paris Hilton/Lindsay Lohan getting busted for drugs repeatedly. You'd think they learned the first time?
I guess not! And this 'Jersey Shore' fad, don't even get me started! I will be here all day talking and voicing my opinions on the show! One thing that does actually tick me off is when people disrespect each other, when people bring racism up. If you know me like my high school graduates do, they know that I hate when people bring race into conversations. When someone brings that up in conversations, I walk away because if not, I'll be tempted to put in my 2 cents and believe me, you don't want my 2 cents, because it'll be the cold, hard, truth! How the topic of my hate for racism came up is Sunday after church, my aunt wanted to go to Burlington Coat Factory in search of a new winter coat. When we pulled in to the parking lot, I saw a kind looking Asian family and black family going in and right then and there, that's when she started. I'm not going to say what she actually said, but just use your imagination. It was pretty brutal what she said about them.
I'm the kind, sweet person that has this philosophy: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." It confuses me to no end as to why people in my family have to talk bad about others they don't know. If racism was a crime, my aunt would be on death row for it. She is guilty of this, she will openly use racial slurs towards people. My dad, however, says he jokes about it, and sometimes he does, sometimes he don't. Last night, he was making fun of the British accent and using bad names towards them, especially racial slurs, just because I said something about wanting to get a CD of Paul McCartney for my birthday. That's the way my dad is! And this one guy I graduated with, don't even get me started! But I'll just tell you a little about him, he proudly calls himself a redneck! He knows it drives me nuts to call people bad names and he knows it gets a rise out of me. He not too long ago insulted my step-dad, I don't know how he found out I had a step-dad, I guess one of my fellow graduates was chatty because I was talking to a friend of mine about spending the weekend with him and my mom. When he found out that I had a step-dad, he stupidly asks what race he was! That was a slap in my face to ask that! So he decided to find out elsewhere. When he found out my step-dad was Italian, he went nuts. He started insulting him using Italian slurs and I'm not saying them. I'm not racist, and don't plan on it. This is the most evil thing anyone ever came up with! 'Separating' people into different groups, there's no need to call people Asian-American, Latin-American, African-American if they were born in this country, then they are Americans! No need putting their ethnic background ahead!
Sorry to be sounding like I'm ranting, but I just needed to get this out of my system. I just can't bring my self to understand why people have to be disrespectful to each other because of race, gender, age, whatever! I was raised not to see that stuff, as far as I'm concerned, everyone is the same on the inside, we just all come in different packages. To me, the world is like a rainbow: each person is a different color and if we all come together and ignore the racism ideas, this world would be beautiful. Sorry, it's so long!

When he found out that I had a step-dad, he stupidly asks what race he was! That was a slap in my face to ask that! So he decided to find out elsewhere. When he found out my step-dad was Italian, he went nuts. He started insulting him using Italian slurs and I'm not saying them. I'm not racist, and don't plan on it. This is the most evil thing anyone ever came up with! 'Separating' people into different groups, there's no need to call people Asian-American, Latin-American, African-American if they were born in this country, then they are Americans! No need putting their ethnic background ahead!
Sorry to be sounding like I'm ranting, but I just needed to get this out of my system. I just can't bring my self to understand why people have to be disrespectful to each other because of race, gender, age, whatever! I was raised not to see that stuff, as far as I'm concerned, everyone is the same on the inside, we just all come in different packages. To me, the world is like a rainbow: each person is a different color and if we all come together and ignore the racism ideas, this world would be beautiful. Sorry, it's so long!

Los Festivales y Todo
You all are probably wondering what this means, it means Festivals and everything in Spanish. Now, I'm not sure if anyone out there in the blogosphere lives anywhere near Newport on the Levee, but if you do, you'll know what I'm talking about. There is this festival that happens every year, along the riverfront, it's called Italianfest. You can buy t-shirts, ride rides, play games, eat Italian food, hear Italian music, indulge in rich Italian culture. You can even see pictures of real Italian families that settled there generations ago. We went this summer and my sister bought a t-shirt. It is cobalt blue, says I love Italian boys, it has a heart on it with the design of the Italian flag and it says I love Italian boys. I bought one too, you've probably seen it, it is white with the map of Italy and across it says Italianfest, Newport Ky, in bright red. But I just thought I'd put this out there. And I'm not sure if anyone will know what I'm talking about, but does anyone remember that show The Dukes of Hazzard? I was watching that the other night and I was constantly thinking "Man, this show is old." My dad also said "You guys met them". What he means by that is about 2 years ago, we were at the Cavalcade of Customs car show and they were selling tickets to something called Dukesfest. My dad thought it sounded good. So he bought 3 tickets and before long, we were in Nashville. There is all this Dukes of Hazzard themed stuff down there. This big 'Dukesfest' festival had this big race later that night. All these bright orange Dodge Chargers painted exactly like the General Lee from the show. And I'm not sure if anyone else listens to Aerosmith, but this one song by them called Fallin In Love(Is So Hard on the Knees), that is a nasty song! It talks about making love in gross ways, and Steven Tyler uses the F word in it. And if you ever see the video, you see him flip the finger a few times!

PRODS AND RC GO AT IT THE AMERICAN WAY!
At a town meeting in April of 1912, John Hiney "owns" C.N. Prouty in a debate over Prouty's proposed curfew law. "My father suffered enough from the curfew law," says Hiney, " It's an English law. Let the English keep it. It's touching on slavery." Old C.N. probably had all he could do to keep from turning into a "Know Nothing" that night. The tension between the Yankee bosses from the East Side and the Irish and French workers was pretty high in those days, and this is a perfect example.

Peliculas
If you are all wondering what this title means, it means 'Movies' in Spanish. You'll probably notice that I speak Spanish quite often in these blogs, but I enjoy speaking it. Over the weekend, I watched a few movies, well, my dad did at least. On Friday night, while my sister was at work, me and my dad watched this movie called My Cousin Vinny. It's really funny, it's about this Brooklyn lawyer named Vincent Gambini, Joe Pesci plays him and Marisa Tomei plays his girlfriend. They have to travel to Alabama to defend his cousin and a friend because they were convicted of murder. It's a really funny movie if you watch it. But it keeps reminding me of my 2 next door neighbors, David and Vicki, because they are both part Italian and from New York, whenever I hear them talk, I hear the accent. I watched this other movie, I'm pretty sure that everyone on the face of the earth has probably seen it at least once somewhere, Scarface. It's from 1983, it has Al Pacino in it. I never really realized how old the movie was. I've seen it so many times because my dad is a huge fan of De Niro and Pacino. Don't know why?!?!? But if you know my dad, you'll discover that he's a huge movie buff. But I usually am the type to not worry what goes on in the world of Hollywood, I could care less what movie is coming out nowadays because I figure I have little or no money and whenever I do have money, my dad has to borrow some to get something, he'll usually say it's for something we need, yeah right! I fell for that one already and I lost $30 to him. He spent the money on cigarettes! How pathetic! I can;t even enjoy the simple pleasure of going out to see a movie because my dad would want to go or I have no money! I wanted to see the new Karate Kid movie, but I had no money, then I wanted to see The Expendables, yet again, no dinero! I also had to add this: has anyone ever seen this movie I watched over the weekend? It's called What a Girl Wants. It has Amanda Bynes in it. It's about a girl who's living in New York and she hasn't ever met her dad, and when she finds out about him, she discovers he's a British politician running for office, so she goes to England and tries to find him. It's a really awesome movie, plus it's a cool movie for teens. I watched it after My Cousin Vinny because it was on some channel I forget the name of. But anyway, it's really awesome, and plus the guy who plays her dad in there, he's kind of cute, in a British gentleman sort of way. I think his name is Colin Firth or something, I love cute guys with an adorable English accent.

Reality TV, OMG!
I really need to get this out. What is the big thing for reality TV nowadays? I swear, I think they are running out of locations for Survivor, I have a really funny idea: how about Survivor: Cincinnati? Let's see if anyone of those Einsteins on the show can survive one day in this city! I grow tired of hearing about the TV networks making big deals out of these little tiny reality shows, like Degrassi, they keep showing these girls getting sleazier and sleazier, stealing boyfriends, guys kissing guys, etc, they keep advertising it. I don't watch the show and have no desire to. And Jersey Shore: don't even get me started! There is no one on that show that is even from New Jersey! Pauly is from Rhode Island, Mike Sorrentino is a Staten Islander, 'Snooki' is a Chilean born girl, not even Italian! But I'm just tired of hearing about the networks advertising some new stupid reality show! And Dancing with the Stars? I can tolerate that because I enjoy dancing, whether it be swing dance, the Tango, you name it, even ballet! Oh how I wish I could learn ballet again. I learned when I was younger, around maybe 11 or 12 years old. But did you hear about who is going to be on Dancing with The Stars? Bristol Palin! America's favorite unwed mother who became pregnant while her mother was up on her soapbox preaching about abstinence. Where was she when her daughter was having sex and getting pregnant? And Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino, he's on there too. It showed him the other night flashing his abs to some girl on there. He must obviously think that just because he's Italian, has a Sylvester Stallone body and is tall, tan and gorgeous, that his chances of winning go up like an elevator in fast forward. I really hope he does not win because that I think will make his ego soar, it will make his already overinflated ego bigger than the entire country of Italy. And some comedian named Margaret Cho will be on there, I've seen pictures of her and I've seen her a couple times here and there on Comdey Central, she isn't bad, she's funny sometimes, I really hope she or someone else wins, they always end up finding people I have no clue who they are to be on the show, but I hope someone good wins, not America's favorite unwed mother or Mr. "Jersey Boy". Now I'm not sure if Cake Boss is considered a reality show, but if it is, it's a good reality show. I just love watching how he does all these little intricate details on stuff. I was watching this episode the other day where he had to make a cake celebrating the anniversary of Come Fly Away, which was a play that had Frank Sinatra in it. He made this cake that looked like a silhouette of Sinatra with little dots on it to make it look like his face. This show is really cool, and I watched this other episode where he had to make an authentic Italian tiramisu cake for this Italian customer who said he had relatives coming from Italy for a visit. It was making me crave that dessert right then and there. But overall, I'm growing tired of hearing about all these reality shows. Not too long ago, I started watching this show on TV called Glee. It's not too bad, I'm starting to kind of like it, I'm starting to get a little addicted to watching it. Believe me, it's amazing what I'll sometimes watch. Like if it's on, I'll watch the First 48, or if it's on, I'll watch CSI:NY or Law and Order:SVU. I absolutely love that show! But then again, I guess I'm the kind that will watch all those police drama shows. For some odd reason, police work fascinates me, I love wathing those shows and seeing them work in crime labs and all that stuff. I guess I'm sort of a nerd when it comes to that, but I don't care. I am who I am, if no one likes it, sorry about your luck. I won't change being who I am to satisfy someone else, that happened too much in high school, people would change who they were just to fit in. I'm not like that, that probably explains why I wasn't popular in high school, I wouldn't give in to liking rap music, saying things like "Yo, what up dog?" or "How's my homie?" Can you honestly believe that white kids are talking like that? This one friend of my dad's, she is a real nice black lady, I've known her since I was little, her name is Harriet and I love being around her, she don't talk like that, no one I know of that is black talks like that! I don't get what the idea of saying things like that is, it's way beyond me! I personally think it is bad to talk like that when no one else talks like that! And other things my fellow graduates did that I didn't approve of was getting their parents to buy everything for them! I'm the kind of person that if I want something, I go out, get a job, and pay for it myself! I just can't bring myself to understand how parents can let their kids walk all over them like a welcome rug. What happened to the golden rule repsect your parents? I guess it doesn't exist anymore! I hear about kids making their parents buy them expensive iPod Nanos, Shuffles, Touches, Blackberry Phones, phones for texting, it's ridiculous! If I tried any of the crap these kids nowadays pull, I'd be dead, pushin' up daisies because my parents would kill me. I just don't understand what's wrong with the world today!

Drity Dream about VFC
OMVFC!! I had a really drity dream about VFC. They came to San Antonio and I met them. They asked if I wanted to go to thier hotel with them and I said yes. I want with David for the ride to the hotel. When we got to the hotel I hang out with David but he knew I want to hang with TC. David told me what room he was in. I want down the hall to hang with him. " Come in " he said . He was changing his shrit. DAMN did he look good. He sat next to me and look in my eyes with his blue eyes. I almosted died. He want to know what I wanted to do " Anything you want to do " I told him. He said go swimming. I only smiled I went to change in his bathroom I could not say a thing. When I was done TC was waiting outside the door. He scared me. Then we walked outside, he put his arm around me. He was crazy cuz it was just us out there. Later we went in side but we were not dry at all. TC looked at me when I was messing with my hair and said " DAMN girl your girl you are HAWT!!! " I told him I was nothing next to him. He unlocked the door to his room the colsed it and locked it. He sat down trying to dry off. I tured around then tured back and he was naked. He said " Its the only way to dry off ". He walked around me and pulled my top off of me. Then my bottoms. He check out my body and smile. He kissed my neck then my lips. I pushed him down to the bed and licked his chest all the way to his dick , when I got there I sucked on it. He moaned. He pulled my hair so I would stop I asked " what was wrong ". He said " nothing its just I thought you liked David or Jayk " . I said " no , I mean I do but I like you WAY more!!" He smiled and picked me up I put my legs around him. He knew what I was thinking and put his dick inside of me. Damn I liked it. Alot I moaned then he kissed , bit and sucked on my neck. The liped my lips but I was not going to open my mouth thought. He didnt care he just wanted me to mess him up. He put me down on the bed. I liped every part of me he could. After a while we both lied on bed. I sat up and got the bed got dressed and he said " what are you doing ". " Going to my room, where we are going to have more fun." ; )
