Since I have had to stand up to claims that I am a (ahem) private person, I decided to do this post. I was not tagged for this so I won't return the favor. Actually, I didn't think that I would be able to fulfill this task because I did-ent think that I would come across a hundred things without repeating how fine and sexy I am. So, without further adieu, here are 100 thangs about P.

I can recite Friday, Beverly Hills Cop, Boyz in the Hood, Kill Bill Vol 2, and Five Heartbeats almost verbatim

But I do occassionally have girl crushes
I have lots of skeletons in my closet

OJ and Rodney King cases turned me off from wanting to become an attorney.
But OJ and Rodney King cases defined my writing and journalistic skills

I would rather be a US Marshall with a Battering Ram busting into a door.
I would also rather be taking survelliance pictures, a la “Cheaters”
I just now feel grown up, in my dirty thirties.
I am in two magazine apparel books modeling and one hair book that will never see the light of day because I think I look ridiculous in them.
I was Little Miss Sugar and Spice 1976 (Little Miss Lynwood), and a runner up in the Little Miss California Pageant
An agent wanted me to do commercials but my mother intervened saying she didn’t want a drug addicted child star, or something like that. Geez.

Have been told that I am an excellent public speaker; and can speak impromptu or planned
I am terrible in math
My major was criminal justice
But I don’t think that’s what I’m going to get my grad degree in. I keep starting and stopping (Organizational Development, MBA, HR, Criminal Justice) – I really don’t know.

I am planning on learning Italian
I played the flute for seven years
I have missed church service six times in as many years.

I was a DJ in a former life, didn’t pay enough chedda
I would have liked to be a medical examiner (coroner)
I am a devout, backslidden (yes, I know that’s an oxymoron) Christian trying to find her way home.

I think My Space Sucks. It’s NOT a place for friends.
95 percent of my friends/associates are: Police officers, Attorneys, and Probation Officers.
I’ve considered a run for political office, but would prolly end up with a case for participating in too many fisticuffs
Latino men love me. Not sure why
I have a gag reflex that prevents me from putting foreign things in my mouth (Shut the “F” up, Tam), and I usually have a very difficult time choosing toothpaste, mouthwash, and such. The dentist hates to see me coming, because they can’t X-Ray me like other folks.
I like all kinds of movie genres and activities.
I am a chameleon and can adapt to any set of circumstances
I had NO HR experience when I got this job
I am still trying to figure out how I got here.
Most people are intimidated of me (not in a “I am woman hear me roar, just like they thing I’m the boogie woman or something). Not sure why

Ok, I'll just drag my comments from IMz...lol
1. LMAO @ not into new age stuff!! Classic...no shit??
2. Fuck that - YOU ARE SECRETIVE!! and this is coming from someone who KNOWS YOU (and your other personal friends have already confirmed what I know to be true).
3. I didn't know you played the flute...no wonder the boys like you best!
4. "I don't drink, but have been influence by peer pressure lately" - HAHAHAHAHAHA...sorry...did I do that?
5. "I've done "it" in the parking lot of my job several times." Translates as: you's a nasty heffa
6. I wanna own a bookstore too...can we have a NEW AGE SCETION??
7. "I have a gag reflex that prevents me from putting foreign things in my mouth (Shut the "F" up, Tam)" - Whaaaat?? What did I do?? LMAO...you gotta admit that's a good one...I even LAUGHED OUT LOUD for like 5 minutes on this one!!
8. I wanna know why you got tossed outta BK...
@ J to the G:
It really was an accident. I know I sound like a Jezebel, but the truf is it wuz an accident. She still doesn't know.
@ The Phoenix:
1. Yes, I know you know this. So stop cut-ten up talking bout "No shit?"

5. First of all you don't know what "it" is. "It" could be taking a nap, doing homework, whatever.
6. Well, if I own the bookstore, all we have to do is put your pretty little self ova in the corner with one of your T-Shirts, and that's the new age section.
7. I don't care what you say heffa it's true.
8. No comment.
Your love of obituaries is SCARY!
How can you say that you're terrible in math? You said that you can budget your money very well. Excuse me, but that is accounting/math right there.
@ Nexgrl:
Like Calculus, Geometry and sheeot. Logarithims, base 10 and all that confusing stuff.
ooh black pilots..
I had a fling with one of those when I lived in Hawaii, he was soo hot! But he was a cheap mofo and that kinda was the end of that!
i like your list, I don't think I could come up with 100 things about myself!
or rather I don't think I want to!
Just a question. If you take bad pictures, (which I don't agree with judging from the WCBH flicks I've seen), why did you go to Barbizon Modeling school.
Glad I got to know more about you. I did this a few months back and it took me over 3 hours to come up with 100 things.
@ Nisa:
Why come you don't just put fine ass and brillant fifty times apiece? :P
@ TCas: Thanks for the nice compliment but trust me I take fhuucked up pics I hate those WCBH pictures and they know it.
As for the Barbizon Gig, my mother thought it was a good idea b-cuz I was fifteen and five-ten (I'm six feet now) and thought it would do be good for my self esteem, which by the way, I never had a problem with my height, it's fun. But ShE is tall as well and it wasn't fun for her growing up.
It was interesting. They showed you how to do your makeup, walk the runway (and I can do that, i won this little Star Search sheeot in the eleventh grade one year out of Barbizon), and a whole lotta other etiquette fluff. When I'm at my best, I put on "the show", but I'm usually preoccupied with a chipped nail or something. :p
Yeah, It took me about an hour to figga out all of those, I kept going over them because I thought I was repeating something.
LOL! That's why I dig ya P, youse a cool ass chick!
Sex on accident, hunh? Just slipped and fell on it, hunh? YEAH RIGHT
And hey, you can always have a fake wedding. Sometimes those are betta than the real ones.... :)
Girl. You can get past that gag reflex stuff. Thass for punks. Woman up. :)
Great post!
i wanna see these pagent pics!!!!!
Aw dayummmmmm!!! (@ Phoenix on that flute comment) LMAO! OMG! *ctfu*
L-O-V-E-D reading this post! Had to read it a few times, mattafact. Man, do we have a lot in common...no pork, hetero, good cook, budget well but terrible in math (how odd is that combo?), got turned off attorney career by external forces, love dark meat, never been high--for just a few. This was veddy veddy in-ter-rest-ting!
I love these lists. I did one about a year ago ... there are so many things I could add ... but won't.
Obituaries? My mom is like that too. I always get these phone calls from her telling me that such-and-such died.
um, how do you accidentally have sex with your friend's husband?
okay P, I'm trying, right now I'm currently stuck at 35, but I swear I'm gonna work thru it and dedicate it to you!
and by the way don't think I didn't notice you said you weren't gonna tell us nothing else ever!
I'm mean mugging you right now!
Great list but I really want to know about this
I had sex with my friend’s husband on accident. (Aw, stop laughing and/or get that look off your face. Long Story, but it really was on accident)
PLEASE TELL!
damn P, it took me two days but I did it. Just 'cuz you can you fight good don't mean I'm scared of you!
@ Glam:
I saw it and you have upsurped my list. It's GREAT!
Woah your list is awesome and interesting as hell! It makes me wanna think up some stuff about myself.
Thanks for sharing with your "private" self.
Peace Goddess P
Just wanted to follow up with you about that project.
We emailed you back on the 29th. I don't know if you got the email or not. Just wanted to say if you didn't make sure it didn't end up in your junkmail folder or spam.
Thanks P
Peace
Aiight private P!!! :)
This was SUPER informative.
And get to the Caymans- it's the BIZ-NASS!!!
I'm going to need you to help me with the whole budget thing... help me NOT spend my money...so much :)
Love, Love, Love Alex Haley! Wow! That is an honor. I am just proud to say we share the same service! But look at you with the blood running through the veins!
@ Cool AC:
Thank you, it does make me feel special.
BUT
I don't know him from ADAM.
But I AM a direct descendant.
I WISH I knew him.
I want to open a bookstore too :) And um that would explain why I'm not one of your myspace friends since I requested an add weeks ago!!!!
Um.
As for the gagging issue.
That pertains to mouthwash and toothpaste. I even have to close my eyes when I'm brushing my teeth, the whole toothpaste frothing in the mouth is really sickening, I'm getting ill just thinking about it.
I've tried everything:
- Tom's Natural Toothpaste
- Colgate makes me sick
- Certain Crest brands sicken my stomach.
- Almost passed out using Rembrandt.
- I'm suspicious of Aquafresh. I think it's more mint than clean.
Is all I'm sayin.
Y'all stop laughing, does anybody have any toothpaste suggestions?
The coveted information has been disclosed:
Re: I accidentally slept with my friend's husband.
See, what had happened wuz, I met him at a gas station okay. At that time, I remember this girl that I had worked with a LONG time ago had a son the same name as him, and turns out that was his little boy. At that time, we wasn't kicking it, she just worked at my job. So me and dude kicked it and were cool for a minute but he got on my nerves I couldn't verify his W-2 Income.
Then when I started working for my company me and her became good friends (our tie was the previous job) She had a picture of her family on her desk. Sure enough, that fool was on there grinning and sheeat.
They are still married, too.
I was tossed (well ran out before the police came) out of a Burger King in Long Beach ten years ago. (Another long story but it wasn't my fault)
See, what had happened wuz, I was going through a really difficult time in my life. My mom was laid off I had to leave school and work another job my car was tripping, I was temping, just major drama. So my mom came and got me to pick up my check from the temp agency (this was pre-direct deposit, y'all), and I took her to get something to eat (and me, considering it was MY lunch) at Burger King. She got a salad and I got one of the specials.
I noticed she was picking over the food and she commented that there was NOTHING in there but lettuce. So I told her I would go up there and get her another one.
I asked for the manager, who was also the owner and I asked him for a replacement, to which he promptly said no.
I didn't think I heard him right so I asked him again.
"No"
I said, well then I will take a refund.
"No"
Then I asked why and he indicated that all the salads looked like that and if I didn't like it too bad. He brought some of the salads from the cooler and showed me that all of them looked like that and that he had some other things to do so I could 'go on'.
I told him I was not leaving until I got either another order of SOMETHING, or my money back.
We were getting louder and louder and I could see my mother looking over there.
He said he wasn't giving me jack.
OKAY.
((SILENCE)).
I had the salad in my hand. I put my hands under the salad container and lifted it so all of it fell on his shirt, jumped on top of the counter and said.
"This is Burger King and I WILL have it my mutha fuck-en way. Somebody is going to give me my goddamn money or it's on right th fhuck now"
Meanwhile, I feel someone tuggin at me, and it's my mother, trying to get me off the counter.
The owner yelled out for somebody to call the cops.
My mother is still tugging at me.
I stood there with my hands on my hips. Then I jumped off the counter, and I told him that I wouldn't be back, but somebody was going to blow this joint up.
Yes, I know I could have gotten in trouble for making terrorist threats but that's not what you're thinking when your life is fulla pressure.
I left.
Damn for real?! Super private, super observant P is an undercover thuggette LOL!!! I'm having it my mf way or it's on up in here, up in here. I'm cracking the hell up at the visual! TOO FUNNY!! Hell I know where to go now if folk start ackin' up, to you and Ms. Ahmad
I always love reading these lists. I did mine a while ago and I"m tempted to do another 100.
Girl, Its just ridiciulous how much your list sounds like it should have been mine... I am glad I didnt see your list first cuz everyone would have thought I stole it. I did my list to do it and forgot alot of things, but reading your list was like damn K when did you write this LOL... I am feeling you on the wedding, myspace, so much!
