it’s christmas! my older brother, mother, and her husband are downstairs cooking while i, the princess, am upstairs in the bedroom malik & i shared in my late teens, watching youtube and blogging. life is good.

my trip to LA on the 22nd was frustrating, but i’m happy to be here. i flew standby (because one of my besties’ mom is a flight attendant) and i got bumped to a later flight 4 times. i also had a 4-hour layover in houston. when i landed, later than expected, i spent the night at said bestie’s and then spent the following day with her and her mom running their errands :-) then we went to a leon thomas concert & the after party. i spent the night at another bestie’s after that. i’m saying all this to say: this is my first real day with my brother and i’m already having a blast. in the middle of writing that last sentence, he fetched me to walk with him to the market. we got a bottle of tito’s; i’ve recently become a vodka girlie. i’ll spend my last two nights in the city at his. we’ve already made plans to turn up when the day ends.

other fun news is: i’ve seen a couple of old baes since being here, one of whom i’ve made angry (again) since being here and already reconciled with. he said he cant resist me and that’s the second time a man i’ve been at odds with has said that to me in the span of, like, a week. i love that for me but unfortunately, seeing me as irresistible does not equal acting right. it does make for good, temporary fun, though. i’m happy to be in a city that knows me so well everywhere i go, but i am also excited to be back in new york soon, where anonymity is a type of shield. the duality of princess. a bit ago, i explained to a lover that my move to new york was very much Princess Wanting A Normal Life coded. he said, “like enchanted or coming to america.” (all my niggas be so quick and smart and get me sooo well btw) and yeah, it’s exactly that.
