Questions/Answers for Simone

Questions/answers

Get inside my mind.

1.Favorite hair color and lip color-black for the hair, and for the lips I like dark colors as well like black, brown, just really deep and dark colors :)

2.Favorite eye color-jet black or peoples natural color.

3.Nicest quality on the opposite sex- I am so drawn to a beautiful smile and nice teeth (that is a must).  Doesn't matter how attractive a person is if their teeth is messed up it is the biggest turn off; we could be friends though lol.

4.Favorite things to do- I love going to the beach, but let's get a bit more specific I like the beaches in the Islands.  I am not too fond of American beaches minus Miami.  I also like chilling at my moms house with my brother and sisters.  I also love camping and fishing, anything with the outdoors.

5.Biggest Crush-Maxwell, gosh there is just something about that guy.  I would love to be with him.  He is so damn fine, and his voice is incredible. He is humble, appealing hahaha. Ok let me stop.  I also think Lance Gross is Gaugeous!!!

6.What is your biggest pet peeve- I really dislike when someone agrees to do something and then act like they are doing you a big favor when they agreed.  When I ask someone to do something for me they can either say yes or no and once they say yes, they are agreeing to help, they clearly had a choice to back out.  So I despise once they are doing whatever I ask or someone else ask and they start acting like they are not interested in doing it. I learned from my cousin a long time ago that if you agree to do something do it to the best of your abilities no matter how small the job is.  I had a friend who was a taxi driver and one day I asked him if he could take me to Walmart so I could exchange my bicycle and he said, "yes sure, I stop working at 6pm and I will pick you up then."  He did not arrive at my house until after 8, bc he ended up working later, he called me and told me and I said fine.  Anyways, once I got into his car I could tell he was rushing, and he kept saying how much he had to get home and sleep and how he woke up early and have to get up in a few hours and we should make it quick.  Now all I am thinking of is why the fuck did he agree to take me if he had all of these extra baggages when I could have let someone else take me. Once we got to Walmart the lines were so long and this N igga was just bitching and nagging in my damn ears, I had to curse him out.  I said, "look, you agreed to do this shit and now you are bytching in my ears, do you think I like to wait in line either, and you know what you can leave, I will call a cab to get home." He tried to explain himself but I was so over it, his behavior was unacceptable especially for a grown ass man.  Once he dropped me home I threw $100 in his lap and left.  I hate when people agree to do something and then act like they are doing you a big favor.  I told that guy if I knew he was gonna be bytching like a child I could have either called a taxi or get someone else to take me.

7.Biggest inspiration- Yahshua(Jesus), mother Teresa, garnett silk, mom, dad, my 2 Uncles, my aunt Sandy, my grandma and her husband.  I am so intrigued by the way they live/lived their lives.  Their kindness and humbleness while living different life experiences and scenarios; they have shown a great deal of humility, sacrifice, and love.

8.What is something mean you have done when someone was hitting on you- hahaha, ok this story I am gonna tell you I completely forgot about, my cousin Kim and Cayon reminded me when we drove pass the guy I did it to.  When they told me the story it definitely sounded like something I would have done then hahaha....  I was walking back to my aunts house with my 2 cousins mentioned above when that guy stopped us to talk to me.  It was late in the afternoon and I wanted to get back to my aunts house and sleep.  But he continued to talk when clearly I was not interested, so finally he asked for my number and I did not really care to talk to him, so I took out this paper with a phone # another guy had given me a few minutes before and gave it to him hahahaha. He took the paper and I am sure it had the guys name on it too.  And then we just walked off.  My cousin Cayon was saying how dumb the guy was b/c if you ask a girl for their #, they wouldn't just have it written down on a paper right away haha.  He said after I left the guy would not stop asking for me.  That was a funny situation and I am sure there is a lot more I do not remember.

9.Favorite comedians-Chris rock, George Lopez, Roseanne, and Cedric the Entertainer.  They are  too hilarious.

10.Would you rather be rich or poor- lol is this a trick question? Rich of course.  I am halfway there, I am just waiting for the money part to catch up hahaha.

11.Would you rather be single or in an unhappy marriage- single of course or divorced lol.  Happiness is within but if I was being disrespected then there would be no point in staying with someone who would behave in such a selfish manner.

12.Would you prefer to have loved and loss or to not have loved at all(romantically)-
umm it depends how they were lost.  If they died yes I would be fine with loving/losing them. But if it was someone who was a schemer and I knew beforehand of course I would not even give them the time of day.

13.If you could be anyone in the world who would you be- I would be ME, bc I am the only person I have full control over.  I can tell my left foot to move forward and it listens, now that's amazing. Also I know my heart.  A person may look beautiful on the outside and it may seem like they have everything going for them but you never know what evilness/insecurities lies within.  I am happy being myself, I have worked hard to get to where I am, we all have.  Plus I would hate to get stuck with someone else's karma.

14.What do you do when you get discourage- I usually read some inspirational stories or a motivating book.  I also listen to music, mediate, take a walk and pray.

15.what double standard do you despise- I hate that boys are given more freedom than girls, I really despise that.  For example when I use to live with my uncle he would not let me do anything, he was so strict with me.  I couldn't even date much less mention that I liked anyone.  Yet my younger boy cousin lived with him after I left and he could have anyone in his house and girls coming in at all hours of the night.  To me that's not fair, I am older now and can do whatever I please but I hate that double standard.  My kids whether boys or girls will have the same amount of freedom.  I just feel like everyone was too strict when it came to me, and trust me it did not help me one bit or made me a better person.

16.What makes you shed a tear-People who shows genuine emotions.  If I see someone crying and I can feel how heartfelt their tears are it gets me, whether they are standing in front of me, or they are on the tv, or we are talking on the phone, even if I am reading a book I can just feel the genuine emotion.

17.Favorite roller coaster- The Soaring ride in Epcot is by far my favorite. It's like a virtual trip, such a clever idea.  What I would do is make it more 4d so that when we go over the ocean we could feel mist on our feet.  I would also add many other places we could virtually go to and for the skiing part it would be cool to feel the frigidness of the snow or snow splashing in our face :).  I would love to update that ride.  We could take a trip through the mall feel the clothes being thrown at us, smell the perfumes from the perfume  store and the coffee from the coffee shop.  Lots of ideas.

18.Places you would like to visit- I would like to visit all of the Islands, Aruba, Hawaii, and Cypress especially.  I would like to camelback ride in front of the Egyptian pyramids.  Visit China, Japan & India as well as Dubai(which I may be going to soon).  I would like to briefly visit Italy, especially Venice.  A bus tour  through America visiting all the states, that would be fun; I would take a month or two off.

19.Sexiest profession- Teachers and Police Officers(even though I cannot stand them sometimes).

20.Favorite musicians- I love Garnett Silk, Tracy Chapman, Maxwell, Sade, Joss Stone, Coppa Kat, Buju Banton, Shania Twain, Eryka Badu  & Tanya Stephens, I really appreciate their music and voice.

21.How many piercing do you have-11

22.Do you have any tattoos- no, I am not against tattoos, I just don't know what kind of tattoos I would be interested in or where I would put it.

23.Are you religious- not religious really, more spiritual.  I believe most religion tells a bit of truth and can lead to the truth of the oneness that we are all a part of.

24.Funny Experience- hahaha this one just came to mind. It was a night me n my bffs Jen, Jorge, and Yves were going clubbing.  We were practically joined at the hips, the 4 of us did everything together. We were waiting at Jorge's house, he was the only one with a car then.  Jorge's mom hated all of his friends except for me bc after our first meeting I could tell she hated people walking in her house at all hours of the day, so I made it an habit to stay outside whenever we went to his house.  At the time my mom hated them as well lol.  Anyways Jorge and Yves went inside the house and Jen stayed outside with me. We were already in a partying mood so we turned up the radio and hung out outside the car since it was a nice summer night.  All of a sudden one of our favorite booty shaking songs came on the radio and Jen and I started dancing hahaha.  We were in a silly and good mood we turned up the radio even more and got ontop of the car and started dancing.  We were on all 4s doing the skankiest dances we could come up with trying to outdo each other and most video girls haha.  Afterall we were outside by ourselves and it was dark plus Jorge's car was practically our second home.  We got on top of the car roof shaking our ass, laughing and dancing like crazy hahaha.  Lmao, as I looked up I saw Jorge's mom looking out the second floor window in disgust at us hahahaha.  We were so embarrassed we jumped off the roof of the car, we were doing some dances that would have made even our mamas embarrassed to claim us hahaha. And there was Jorge's mom witnessing us grinding on her sons car like high paid hookers hahaha(wait do hookers dance? Lol).  Let's just say we never lived that one down hahaha.  Jorge was so embarrassed by us hahaha.  I think after that when we were in his car and he had to stop home he parked a few blocks away haha.  Good times.

25. Which parent do you resemble the most-When I was younger it was my dad, but now I look a lot like my mom.

26.Do you prefer to give or receive- lol, I love giving, and I enjoy the look on people's faces; but I would be lying if I said I didn't like receiving even more.  When I receive it makes me wanna give even more :)

27.Tell me about a moment where you went outside your box- I can be a shy person at times or the most outgoing person you will ever meet.  A time where I went outside my box was.... I think I was feeling a bit down so I typed up big signs saying things like, "have a  great day," "enjoy the sunshine," "Smile at a stranger," "Do something kind for someone.". I printed out about 500 copies overall, courtesy of my job lol.  My sister was staying with me for a bit and was my enforcer for the idea.  She took her time and drew and decorated the signs while I was at work.  The next day I almost chickened out bc we would literally be walking to random ppl and giving them these signs which could be a bit intimidating.   I was living downtown in the Baltimore harbor at the time and it seem like we choose the hottest and crowdiest day to go outside.  We passed out the signs early in the morning around 10 bc I had to work in the afternoon.  My sister and I looked our best.  Here we were these two beautiful girls handing out these signs.  People were a bit suspect at first bc it seemed like we were begging for something and when they saw the signs saying "Have a great day," they were taken back and could not help but smile.  Everyone was really receptive to the signs and complimented us all day saying "Wow, what a great idea," or "I really needed this," it was the highlight of our entire day and week.  It was going outside our box and comfort level but the feeling was so incredible.  We passed out all the signs within 15 minutes.  My sister had a stack and so did I.

28.Coolest hit on lines someone used on you-  Damn, I have received so many hit on lines, some were actually good that I had to stop and compliment the person.  I can't really remember some of the ones I liked.  The most recent one that I like happened about two days ago when I was at the market with my aunt who is only a few years older than I. One of her friend was pestering her to introduce me to him, so when I finally went up to him he said, "hi my name is William and my # is 453-6890." Lol, I thought that was so cute, straight to the point.  Btw that's not his real #, I forgot his # the minute he told me bc I was not interested in him, it was still a clever lil line though lol.  Another one was when I went to my hometown my cousin Tiffy and Cayon and I were walking and this guy stopped my cousin Cayon and said "when did you start working for God, to employ so much angels."

29.Favorite Flowers- ummm, I dunno I think all flowers are beautiful and I love when they are combined with different varieties of flowers as one bouquet.  A flower that I find extremely beautiful though is the one that kind of look like a sunflower but it is not and they  come in a variety of different colors, I like the bright pink ones.  I forgot what they are called.

30.Favorite ice cream-Grape-nut with a bit of rum.

31.Favorite food- damn, I like just about every single food I have tried. Let's see I love lobster, crab, steak.  I love Jamaican food, Indian, Chinese, Sushi.  I love food with flavor and spices. I love Panera bread, Subway,Chipotle.  I love food, it is probably the best thing about living on this Earth lol.

32.Which food are you not fond of- eggs(it's gross) I love cake and eggnog though lol if that make sense. I do not like corn beef either.  Those are the only food I will probably not eat.

33.Favorite Candies- are you kidding me I love most candies, Kit Kat, Crunch, Snickers, Peanut m & ms, skittles, starburst, gummy worms ect...

34.Which candies do you dislike- I am not fond of Butterfingers, but I will eat it if there is nothing else.  I also think chocolate with mint underneath it or guey things(minus snickers) is disgusting.  I do not like the three musketeers, milky way or almond joy either. That is about it.

35.Favorite Color-lol, I feel like I am in elementary school when this stuff was important haha. Umm I will say green and pink.

36.How old is too old to date-lol, I don't think there is such a thing as too old for me hahaha.  Maybe like 80, that's only bc I haven't seen an 80 year old I was attracted to hahaha.

37.Ok, how old is the oldest person you've been attracted to- hahaha lol, I knew this was coming.  I was 18 and he was 54.  I had the biggest crush on that guy he was so good looking and kind.  Too bad he was married.  I was so pissed off when I found out, I stopped talking to him completely.  Lol, you are probably saying I would hope so. The thing was we were not an item or anything I was just pissed that he was married lol.

38.How old is too young for you- okay I am 22, and the only guy in my age group I would even consider dating is Chris Brown.  I haven't been attracted to young guys not even when I was a teenager or even a preteen.  I remember being in the first grade and the guy I liked was in the 6th grade hahaha, I had the biggest crush on that boy.

39.What do you love about Jamaica- I love the food, the music, my family, and the greenness of the entire country and the weather.  My hometown of St. Mary is my favorite place; I am like a celebrity there everyone still remembers me.  I love it there.  These passed two month I haven practically toured the entire country from Montego Bay, Trelawny, Ochos Rios, Kingston, but there is no place like the place I was born.  Once I accomplish a few of my goals I plan on moving back there for a while.

40.What do you dislike about Jamaica- The Mosquitos are #1, I cannot stand them; and the hypeness of some of my cousins.  Some of them will not step out the house if everything is not matching like seriously come on, that is too damn pressed, that part is annoying. All some of them talk about is name brand items, it's like that's their entire existence, that is why I prefer to go to the country.  I love the country part of Jamaica but unlike town I have to wash my clothes by hand, but the worse thing is the outhouse, I cry(not literally) every time I have to use it.  Let's just say my trips to the bathroom are cut really really low and short.  I also dislike the whole judicial system here and the police officers are wutless.  Another thing I dislike is the white-washed mentality that is over the country with this bleaching mess and a kind of disgust for dark skin.  I don't care what anyone says the best looking people are dark skin.  The sad part are a lot of the dark skin people have that type of mentality too, and the light skin folks think they are the shit.  It's actually quite sickening.  I have never been one to separate the black race by shade.......Haha I realize how long my dislike list is.  Jamaica is my home and I love it.  I just wish there were more rights for the people and just a fair system.  I will say America has one of the best Judicial system(minus when it comes to drugs).  My goals are set and if it is the Lords will I plan on coming up with some positive changes I can enforce there.

41.Favorite Jamaican fruit- Mi love genip, apple(no comparison to Jamaican apples), jackfruit, tinking toe(haha, I havent had it in forever), almond, bananas( they are the sweetest), tangerines, and tambrine.  Surprisingly I was never really a big fan of mangos.

42.If you had to go to prison what reason would it most likely be for-ummmm, maybe fighting or cursing.  But I cannot even imagine being in a female prison, they would probably eat me alive in there hahaha lol, I am just too pretty. I would prefer to go to an all male one haha, that would be funny. I can see it now, I would hook up with the baddest guy and he would protect me from the rest of the guys hahahaha lol.  And the booty man and I can sit down and talk about booty all day hahaha.  That would make a hilarious show. Sorry I digressed haha.

43.I know you like taking pictures, so what do you love the most about photography and what do you dislike- I love that you can make the ugliest things beautiful with a simple angle of your camera.  I love that the world is captured through the lens so people can get a view of the places they have never been.  Also you can choose to capture the moment that suits you the best, kind of telling the story the way you are interested to, people don't have to see the entire reality.  The only thing I can think of that I dislike about photography is it doesn't really capture my true beauty.  I have had some beautiful pictures taken of me but it just doesn't really match how I look in person, I look way better btw lol.  Sometimes it would be nice if the mirror was the real photographer.

44.What's something people may not know about you- ummm, I am really good at doing hair.  I can do just about any style.  When I was younger I use to do everyones hair in my neighborhood.  When I first started I use to pay my sisters to let me do their hair bc they would not let me otherwise.  Now they pretty much have to pest me to get their hair done lol.  When I see someone with a style that I like I memorize it and either do it on myself or someone I know.  I am good at doing nails as well, I can emulate any design I see.  Also when I put my mind to it I can design and make my own clothes.  When I was in school I was known for coming up with the most unique styles.

45.What is your favorite feature on yourself- I love my lips.

46.Do you get your way often- the majority of the time for sure.  If I am interested in something I get it or figure out a way to get it.

47.How about getting your ways when it comes to guys you like-When it comes to guys it is rare for me to meet someone I am instantly attracted to, but once I am I have to get the person, that's if I am not with someone else at the moment.  All the people I have liked have been interested in me as well so that's not the problem.  What gets me is if they are already in a relationship.  If that's the case I get so turned off by the fact that they have a spouse.  I actually get disgusted at them and try to ignore that person as much as possible, my mood switches instantly.  How dare they have someone b4 they met me hahaha, that's my thought. But it's all good though.

48.What is the #1 thing you look for in a relationship-RESPECT is number #1 for me.  Without it there is no me and no relationship at all.

49.How would people from your childhood describe you- they would say I was rude, feisty and rebellious. I had all the mouth, there were no arguments and fights that did not include me hahaha.  I was always the one to stick up for others.  My aunts who are just a few years older than I, were just telling me a story about how I cursed out their babysitter when we were younger bc she was being mean to them.  The first thing people who have not seen me in a while ask is if I am still rude and feisty.  Now I have learned to pick and choose my battles.  Everyone who knows me know I am kind, but once they get on my wrong side they will see my wrath.  I do not like unfairness or meanness so when I see things  like that it's hard for me to hold my tongue.  When I give it to someone they know they are wrong and will try their hardest to get back on my good side, no matter who the heck they think they are.  I had a manager that I had to tell off so badly bc he was being extremely rude and demeaning, afterwards I went off for an hour and left him to do everything by himself.  And the next few months I did not say one word to him, he slowly tried to get back on my good side.  The weird and funny thing was after a few months when I decided to talk back to him he had nothing but respect for me and even asked me out.  That is one thing about some people I cannot stand.  They will be rude and mean to others until they are told off, I cannot stand it, everyone deserve respect.  They think they can be overly rude bc they have built up some false power that they supposedly have over others or they are mean bc they know they will get away with it, that is not right to me.  All my time on this Earth I have not met anyone who is better or higher than I am pssh.  We are on the same level plane. No one is better than I am and I am not better than anyone else.

50.What is one thing you wish for right now- to be closer to God.  I know he is real and all of that, I have seen him work wonders in my life and I am eternally grateful. I just wish I could feel him even more and to become even closer to him spiritually.  There was a time where I could feel him, but not so much anymore.  I would really like to get that back and have that relationship. Even though there are a lot of things I desire, there is nothing that would make me happier than building a relationship with God. And that is coming from the heart.

Jamaica

So I am officially in Jamaica.  All the talk and now I am finally here.  The weather is hot and nice.  I arrived on Monday, 4 days ago, but it seems like I was here for a month already.  I was happy to see my cousins.  I am here in Kingston until Sunday when I go to country to see my other family.  I do not have my computer with me so my posts will be scarce.
