Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up MUSIC VIDEO

This is the song of the moment because: is soooo Ebony Doll!!!!!!! when grow up is right, I'm not worried about fame, all I want is to share my vision. I am turnign 17 next month (yea me!!!!!!) every single year people tell me that I'm becoming a woman lol my sixteenth was the worst I decided not to have a party because I thought no one would come so I spent the entire day volunteering at a recreation center, surving people food and since a couple of my friends we're telling people that it was my birthday, some of them gave me money. I hope that I become a woman someday....or atleast feel like one at some point in my life. the only thing I want for my birthday is to have as much confidence as these women do.

Vox Hunt: Bird Watching

nobody@vox.com(GottaGetGoing) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:59:04 -0500

Show us a bird native to your habitat.

Since the mosquitoes and palmetto bugs are pretty large here, do they count? Anything that you can hear flapping it's wings as it passes you should be classified as a bird.

QotD: Liar Liar

nobody@vox.com(GottaGetGoing) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:52:49 -0500

What is the biggest lie you've told?
Submitted by lazywong.

Well...when I was a much younger gal, I wanted a big sister so badly that I made up stories about having one. We moved around a bit then because my mother's ex-husband was in the military, so no one would actually KNOW who I was or any of my family history. So...I told people that I had a big sister-much older than myself. The reason why she didn't live with us is because she was off to college at Harvard. What gave this lie substance was the fact that I have an aunt 11 years older than me who would come to visit occasionally. Yes- I was a horrible little liar. I think I kept up that lie until we moved to Florida and I started Junior High School. I was never found out, no one ever questioned it.

THERE....don't I feel better!

I didn't get a wink of sleep last night!!!!!

nobody@vox.com(Ebony Doll) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:38:50 -0500

We'll....on the contrary I slept good and hard but I had the stangest dream ='/ well...basicly we we're on our way to coulone, and I was getting dressed, it was the late evening ( alil late to be taking a field trip to the beach but none the less that's where we were going) and wile I was getting ready I decided to do alil voxing [the urge to multi-task is an inevitable cures that runs throught the women in my family lol jk] but as I was web sufing a ran into a few pop ups....and nudy sites (ewwww! I know) but suddenly I came across a site that said "not even close to legal but oh so ready to be loved", the pop up was in sepia and the explanation was hilarious (see the girl in their NATURAL habitat then imagine them getting down and dirty...featuring 4 girls that love too &*(% including two new teenage untouchable beautys.....sounds like a freak act in a circus don't it lol ) I had to see the rest of the page(I normaly surf on my sidekick and it only shows the top of the page and then you can scroll down from there) but as I scrolled down I see the picture I noticed how familiar they looked, too familiare, inface they we're really old pictures of ME And my BESTFRIEND BLUW..............from when we we're around 12 years old WTF!!!!!!! I seen it then suddenly thought (NO!!!!! this can't be possible I don't have any of these pictures on my blog and and......... what will this do to my future????? and... and... and....................... what will my Family say????) so I decided I was just imagining it and the girls probably just looked kinda like us, so I looked it up on my giant teddy bears stomach so I could get a better look(the teddy bear had a large computer screem that happened to be his tummy(I kinda want one like that now) but when I looked it up on the big screen it was worse than I ever could have imagined (we were'nt nude or anything you had to give a credit card number or sumthing to enter the site) but it showed about 20 pictures of just me and her with our friends and hanging out together, there was even a family photo I took with my parents on xmas when I was 11. I ended up showing it too my parents they asked me things like (what was wrong with me) and (what have byou done!!!!) but at the end we calmed down and decided that some one might have stole pictures Blue had stored on her Myspace....so as soon as she got back from germany we would inform her and the authoritys............but when I woke up I was sooooo shakin up I wanted to quit my vox all to gether so there was no trace of me on the internet. Now I really feel for the people that have to go through sitchuations like that, so today I'de like for you to pray for all the innocent and not so innocent internet victims out there and pray that others have the wisdom to stay out of those type of sitchuations....because that's exactly what I'll be doing.

All I wanna do I fall asleep in your arms, I listen to your heart beat wile our souls touch in utter and complete purity. love, hate, trust, fear, weakness and strenth swirling through the emotions of my mind as I dream of I love you's, you may never say and a security I can't not bring myself to believe exists beyond fairytales. So tell me you love me wile you play with my hair and fall asleep with your arms wraped around me as if I'm the toy you need to have so you can go to sleep at night. Tonight you are my bedtime story and just so you know, we live happily ever after.

Mommy Bloggers Hit the Road

nobody@vox.com(Team Vox) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:38:06 -0500

Summer Road Trip '08

Although we typically post on Team Vox to let you know about things that are going on with Vox (to, uh, state the obvious), once in a while, we like to let you know about other cool things that are happening around the blogosphere. And we think the idea of four hilarious mommy bloggers traveling across the U.S. on their way to the BlogHer '08 conference - all the while blogging and video blogging the journey - is one trip you will not want to miss.

Four adventurous bloggers from the Silicon Valley Moms Group were selected to participate in the Summer Road Trip '08 and blog about their travels, hotel stays, media appearances, time away from their families, and life on the road. Six Apart helped them partner up with General Motors, who provided the blogging mommies with a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV to help make their journey comfy, safe, and a little more green.

In case you're not familiar with them, SV Moms is a group of over 200 bloggers who showcase the ups, downs, outrages, struggles, victories, and everyday humor of motherhood. There are currently nine regional and demographically tailored sites that give mothers from D.C., New Jersey, the Deep South, Rocky Mountains, L.A., and Silicon Valley a powerful voice and sense of camaraderie across the country. Whether you're a mother, a child, or just a person who enjoys a good blog, you'll really love reading the words of these amazing women.

Packed and Ready!

The moms buckled into their Chevy Tahoe Hybrid SUV on July 11th and even got an encouraging message from Katie Couric to kick things off! They are currently somewhere in the middle of America making their way to San Francisco where they'll attend an SV Moms Group Party, as well as BlogHer '08.

You do not want to miss these entertaining and irreverent bloggers -- or their spontaneous contest giveaways! -- as they blog from the road. Experience the journey at MomRoadTrip.com.

And let us know about your summer road trip - or plane/boat/bus trip - in the comments! (I like to live vicariously.)

YouTube...one of those things that make you say, hmmmmmm....?

nobody@vox.com(GottaGetGoing) — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 23:10:21 -0500

You ever notice how youtube is like a trap? It's like a black hole that sucks you in and you can never get out. You go to look at one video and before you know it you've looked at several because they keep suggesting videos that seem interesting. Some of these videos make you feel like you've truly missed and will never regain the 2 minutes of your life you spent watching them. Others are a great laugh and you almost don't mind laughing at someone's stupidity.

My experience this evening was looking first at this dance that the kids were doing called the "Wu-Tang". I know Wu-Tang as one thing but it's something COMPLETELY different for the kids. Anyway....from there I went to the homepage and came across a video titled ???21?. My brother, sitting next to me at the time says..."click on it". The title threw me off guard, so I ignored better judgment clicked it- this is what I got:

☆無21★

My 41 seconds is forever gone! And if you watched it, now so is yours. I thought this girl must be doing something more so I ended up clicking on a few more. I've by this time lost valuable moments in my life. In doing this, I've noticed that most this girl's videos have over 1,000,000 views! So I did a search on her name, the magibon wikipedia article explained it all.

GRRRRR....At this point I'm flustered because I can't figure out how she did it? Mind Boggling! So after the last video one of the popups is "Magibon/Youtube Jealousy/Secrets Revealed". So I click it and I get this:

Magibon/Youtube Jealousy/Secrets Revealed

Quite frankly, I can't stop laughing.

QotD: Notes to the Future

nobody@vox.com(Ebony Doll) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 09:11:37 -0500

If you could leave notes for the future, what message would you have left in the past for today?

Well its kinda hard to say I'm not doing so well right now....health wise,school wise, home wise I'm all screwed up with no were to go so this is note I would love to have left (I don't know if it is true but I know this is what I would want it to say)

don't waste time on things that will hinder you
Focus on the things that will help you
So
Try harder
Do better
Stop whining
Build a bridge and Get over it
if people don't get you then oh well don't try and force yourself on them (or it will make you even harded to understand)
And don't worry because things will be ok and if no one else loves you, then I will.
