I'm still around.  

I'm not sure where last left off here but at any rate....

• I started school, last year of undergrad woop woop.
• I got that new blackberry tour 9360 as i posted in the last entry, and I also bought an iPhone. Kind of impulsive but nevertheless I am happy with both.
•I got an internship for St. Louis Magazine for the fashion & style section. My job duties include assisting with style shoots for the mag, putting together the collage for the "things we love" section, and assisting backstage at their charity fashion shows, the first one being this Saturday. It's a little more glamorous than the devil wears prada but it's still a lot of hard work.
• Jereme and I ended our second run yesterday, my decision.
• I've left livejournal for tumblr, address coming soon.
• If u follow me on Twitter u already knew all of this.

Yeah, I'm Still on my Square -Got 10 Fresh French Braids in My Hair.  


I've been back from Europe for about a week now. To be quite honest, I'm not that happy to be back in the states. I wish my time there was longer, but you know. Everything happens for a reason. I feel like everyone on here is friends with me on either twitter or facebook or both and y'all have already seen all the pics, so theres no need to post any.

During my month stay I managed to loose enough weight to go down a size. Thats because we walked everywhere. I missed going to the gym while I was there, too. I work out because I want a bigger booty lmao. I'm pretty much over dieting, so if I loose anything it's going to be hella natural.

Speaking of being back, I hate St. Louis. We are sooooooooooo freakinggggg sloowwwwwwwwwwwww here. That is all.

I'm going to NYC again Oct 16-18 to check out my graduate school. I don't think I mentioned this here but I decided to go ahead to journalism school, so I'm applying to the City University of New York's graduate journalism school. I'm applying to another in NYC that I'm keeping mum about, and maybe one in Chicago...maybe.

While in Europe I took out my weave the last couple of days of the trip. My hair has grown all the way back, plus longer since I cut it off two years ago. Everyone keeps saying "omg, why did you ever wear a weave?" the truth is I love weave. Right now, I'm having weave withdrawls. I miss miss missssss it sooooooooo freaking much. I made a deal with myself to rock my own hair until my 23rd birthday in exchange for the super expensive weave I can only buy one bag at a time of.  lol.

While I was in Denmark, I fell in love with Madonna. Like. I love this woman lol. I went into a bookstore there and sat down to read a few magazines and they were playing all Madonna, and every song was like my cut lol. I ended up buying her last 2 albums, along with Jon B. lmao

I mentioned here that I was hired as assistant features editor for my school paper. We've put out two issues thusfar since I've been AFE and I love it. The only thing is I HATE the features editor. He is the type of person who is never wrong, and he is always trying to "help". I can't stand the bastard. In December when he graduates I will be taking his place as Features Editor. 8 more issues to go....

I really want to make my next trip abroad to capetown, south africa.

and finally,

almost 1 year to the day i got my first blackberry....



I'm getting this bad baby on friday. :-P

Random City, Population 4: Me, Cassie, Lala, and Raven.  

If you're my twitter friend this is old ass news to you.



pictures actually exaggerate the amount of hair actually cut off. it's really about 1/12th of the circumference of my head. i've been thinking about this since the solange concert. her opening act has a cut smaller, but similar to this and i loved it.

moving along...

i'm on my laptop full time. i'm getting rid of my deskop for $250. tons of people have bitten, no sales yet. also, i'm being a little badass and breaking my lease once again. my downstairs neighbor really showed her ass last weekend. she was drunk, passed out in the hallway with her music blasting and her kids (all under 5) running around outside. i called the police. they came, dragged her and her kids in the house and told her to keep it down smh. after the police left she came upstairs to ask to use my phone! smh! she had that music up blasting until 6 am. eff this. I will possibly be out of here by the end of this month...possibly.  

my passport came today. 15 days left!

annd finally i got the job as assistant features editor for my school's newspaper, the current. next stop, editor in chief of ______magazine :). i'm not used to being in charge so this should be an experience for me. i'm excited.

When the Shit Hits the Fan.  

LOL. so, remember the little incident i was talking about a few entries back about how i was sooo stupid for allowing my unemployed cousin to get a phone on my sprint account? Well the whole thing finally blew up, I'll explain a gist of the situation:

Back when i wrote before mentioned entry my phone was cut off. she had the "simply everything" plan which costed her $112 a month, which she never had on time every month. in the middle of her part of the phone bill being EXTRA late sprint cut off my phone only while she still had service. desperate to get my phone cut back on i loaned her the last $10 needed to pay her bill. it's no biggie to me because she was expecting welfare money from minnesota (where she moved here from) and was going to pay me back the following week. you guys are smart because you know next week ever came. last month she gave me $120, naturally i took $8 for my bill since she already owed me $10. Yesterday she hit me up asking how much was her bill, and i told her $96 (she downgraded her plan). and she goes talking about "wtf? i need a print out. i'm sick of this phone. i gave you $120 last month..." so i kindly went off and expressed how i took my $8 out of that and she wasn't the only person sick of the damn phone and i've done nothing but help her since she been down here and how dare she get mad over money that she owed me, and finally from now on if i don't have her bill money by the 16th of every month, on the 17th it's being cut off. instead of chilling the fuck out and counting her blessings she goes "well if you big and bad do what the fuck you wanna do".

i didn't trip at all. i'm thinking this is another one of our petty arguments that we'll eventually get over. a while back i turned in her $100 rebate forms and i was going to hold the hundred in case we came across a month like this where she couldn't pay the bill....without her knowing. i had all inentions of letting her keep her blackberry because i didn't want to have to cancel her account and pay that money. until i log on twitter and facebook where she keeps updating her "status" with all these subliminal indirect messages about me lmao. i'm thinking wow...really? but the killer was her hitting up one of my friends talking more shit about me. fyi the stupidest thing someone could do is talk shit about me to my friends. now, they aren't the type of friends that will stop you from talking about me (like i am), but they always run back and tell me what was said.

i say fuck that. fuck it fuck it fuck it. first i paid the bill online with her rebate money, then i dug in my closet and found an old sprint flip phone i had my sophomore year, called sprint and reported her blackberry stolen, switched her line over to my old sprint phone, cut it all the way down to their basic 200 anytime minutes free nights and weekends plan for $29.99, changed the number and called my nephew and told him i had a phone for him. thanks be to God my mom and sister both said they will alternate months paying the little $35 bill so my nephew can always have a phone. my sprint contract expires in novemeber, that one expires jan 2011. either way it's been taken care of. no one but God gave me that idea to do it and in the end it ended up not costing me a dime. i can't stop smiling and laughing.

[LJ2ME] Venting via blackberry.  
I hate some of the choices I make so much. Not only are they affecting me, but my parents as well. I've become a full-on burden for my father. Nowadays, it seems like every decision I make is not a wise one. I feel soo stupid sometimes. I keep saying I will change, but like most promises to myself, they don't seem to work out that way.

Vacation.  

i've been around this mug, commenting and whatnot. y'all know. i can't remember what my last update was about but i am so crazy excited to be out of school. i feel like a new woman lmao. my goal this summer is to finish this insane stack of unread books and magazines i've accumilated since january and sew sew sew.

last weekend i went to that resort i was talking about. missouri is land locked so theres no oceans but we do have 3 huge lakes with beaches and we went to one of them, table rock for 3 days. the trip was interesting to say the least. i ended a 17 year friendship with my best friend's sister on the last day of the trip and it was much needed. that girl needs to grab some self-esteem before she tries to form a friendship with anyone.

( more stuff...................................... )

Did Something Stupid.  
I got my cousin a line on my Sprint phone plan. 
I got my unemployed cousin a line on my Sprint phone plan. 
I knew it was a mistake from jump, but to be honest i thought she'd have a job by now since she moved here in Jan. About a week ago I realized that she was more concerned with being "boo'd up" than finding employment. Tis the life of a female dependent on male companionship. I thought I knew her, but I didn't. That was a chance I took and it was fucked up. 

So now, I'm expecting this thing to go south. Every time I mention something about her paying her bill each month she catches an attitude and posts shit on her myspace/twitter/facebook about her being "annoyed" shit i'm annoyed too! how rude is it for someone to make it like you're getting on their nerves when you're doing them a favor? As fucked up as it will be I know I will have to suspend her account soon, which will cost me $250. Thats the price you have to pay for being stupid. Never again. 

I have changed, months ago I would've let this shit fly. For the past two months I've been going off and snapping on a lot of people who I feel are trying to use me, get over, say smart shit, etc. I'm just sick of people right now, for real.

Saturday Seven.  

Twinkle Twinkle Remix from sequita on Vimeo.

my cousin swears sesame street confuses the kids. if janiah had not cut the video off, you would've heard her whole spill about how it's elmo's fault. lol

1. tomorrow is my bbf's birthday, celebration at lumiere --the same place as fashion week.

2. i'm on day 14 of no fast food. cutting soda and junk food is a constant struggle. these teas and juices ain't cuttin it!

3. anybody wanna buy me a passport?

4. since the hour cut, i have not been shopping. oh wait, i lied. i just bought some stilettos thursday. but that purchase came with extreme guilt. i'm tired of feeling this way :-/

5. i got my samantha sex and the city ring repaired!! i think thats the best thing that happened today, ha. that twitpic does not do it justice. its the flash i think.

6. remember how i was complaining about my job raping my weekends? well i've been off for the last 3 weekends and counting. my last day of work was thursday, i don't go back until tuesday. amen! LOL

7. jereme jereme jereme jereme jereme fucking santiago. sigh. he has moonwalked his way back into my world. more on this later.

"Orange Who?"

ORANGE YOU GLAD FASHION WEEK IS O-V-E-R?




it's bittersweet, really. it was naive of me to think me, a nobody, could sit front row lol. apparently those seats are for media, celebs, and sponsors. oops! don't tell me i didn't have great seats every night though! my little nikon pix turned out really good. in august i'm applying for the fashion week internship, if i don't get it i'll be tricking off $$$ to go again. we got these little VIP goodie bags every night with all this crap in it that i'm going to pawn off on the people at my job. wanna know something interesting? the dress in the second picture is actually a bathing suit! the entire bottom comes off. how clever, lori coulter.

FASHION WEEK DAY #1  


fashion week day #1 was yesterday and it went off with a bang. st. louisans love thier yves and elber as there was much YSL and Lanvin in the room all evening.  We sat third row because we got to our seats late, hopefully we'll be much closer (front row) tonight. i'm rushing because we have to be at the venue at 18:00 (it's 17:48 now, yikes!) and i'm still sporting the outfit i wore this morning, gotta go!

i leave you with 2 videos of my favorite collections last night.

Thinking.  



I'm having a bit of anxiety. ever felt like you wanted to change something but you don't know exactly what it is? or how about improving something in your life to make you feel better.....but you know it won't make you feel better?


what about needing something and knowing how to get it but you feel way to anxious/overwhelmed/lazy to go about getting it. i'm having a crazy moment i know, but for some reason my mind is not settled right now.

pray for me.

bullet style, because i'm tired.

x my efforts to get weekends off at work failed. there is no plan #2, i just have wait on god on this one.

x jereme and i are back together --on facebook. he seems to like it that way for now, and i don't mind. but if/when i find someone new you all will read "sequita benét and jereme santiago ended thier relationship" in your news feed lol

x for three days my house has been occupied with visitors. wed it was my cousin, thurs i was my cousin, her daughter and my mom, fri it was my cousin and her daughter. thursday i had to sleep on the floor in my living room to give my mom the bed. my back is still hurting from that.

x i won that scholarship to go to france i wrote about a couple entries ago. i litterally typed up the essay in 15 minutes. i won the full amount that could be awarded, too. much to my surprise.

x i can't fit any of my jeans anymore, which is the best thing.

x the ladies and i are going to a lake front resort may 15th-17th. they were offering a crackhead deal on the 3 bedroom luxury condo and we took it. branson is a vacation town so we're going to spend our days on the beach and our evenings shit faced at the bar, and our nights molesting men in the jaccuzzi, ha!

x i'm loving me soooo much right now.

x i'm officially on spring break, so let the fashion and the games begin.

808's track #9.  


wow, we look really happy. truth is, someone cracked a joke and we were trying to hold smiles haha. this is from last saturday. i took my sick (better, but sick) ass to the casino and won $40 (spent $8), but my friend kendra won $122 (spent $5), and janaye won $810 (spent $16) so yeah, i won but i was bummed lmao. i had soooo much fun though.

i just heard some bad news, and i don't wanna comment on it for fear of jinxing myself. my mom says i should wait to hear about it from the source instead of hersay. i just really really really hope it's misinformation or else...i don't know.

i'll find out wednesday and let you all know wednesday.

Coming to You Live on Friday Night.  
i'm sick. i've been sick for a while now. at first i was just having the regular symptoms, sore throat, cough, headache, etc. then it turned in to congested chest, sneezing, fever, chills, body aches. webmd told me i had brochitis. so i've been idle..or trying to be. i missed class mon through wed and went to class on thurs to take my midterm and my professor sent me home because i didn't look well. i didn't feel well either, but i stayed on campus the rest of the day to attend the rest of my classes. it's been up and down these past seven days. one day i will feel fine and the next i'm miserable. it's been killing me to stay in this apartment all day so i've been leaving here and there to run errands and whatnot only to find myself racing back here because i feel like i'm about to die lol.

i digress...

my best friend has lost her damn mind. i try real hard to keep it real with my close friends because if i don't who else will? i'd want them to do the same for me and if i can't keep it real with you, then what the hell are we friends for? the last time i "kept it real" i was told i was being harsh and negative. so now-a-days i just say what i want with some sugar on top. she is dating this guy loser, who on the surface seems mad cool. he's "finished" four out of six years of pharmacy school, but is on a break right now to take care of his mom who has cancer. sounds sweet right? yeah thats what i thought. he's not cute at all and i commended her for not being shalllow and looking on the inside lmao. BUT why is this man a drug dealer? and not only does he deal drugs but i caught him cheating on her. YEAH, I CAUGHT HIM. And took pictures too. it was a twist of fate. i'm from north county and i always sleep in on saturdays. but on this saturday i found myself 20 miles away in south city at 8 in the morning. i can count on one hand how many times i've been in south city in the last 5 years. i felt like a spy in the right place at the right time.

( evidence )
i'm like teedra moses, i'm puttin this shit in the wind.

i took my goddaughter to get her nails done. she bit off the polish before we left the shop. my nails are still cute though lol.

about mr. man: i think i'm super cool on him. he has a weird way of expressing interest. like one minute he'll be all up in my face and the next telling me about his "old" adventures sexing women, seriously, wtf. i think i'm done with dudes my age. WHERE THE 25+ MENS AT? LMAO

i was off thurs-sun and went out each one of those nights. thursday after the club my cousin and i went to ihop & just when we were almost done eating these guys came in super drunk. the man asked if they wanted smoking or non and one of the guys looked over at us and was like "we're sitting with them!". before the waiter could ask me if it was okay they were already in our booth, and one of them was molesting me! he kept saying "lil mama lil mama lil mama i am so fucked up...i am so drunk. i wanna buy your food" all the while he was moving his hands between my legs (i had on jeans, thank god) and blowing on my neck. before i could snap the sober one (cutest) said "Man, GET OFF HER DUDE" and he fell back but them mintues later he was laying on my lap smh. everyone in the restaurant turned around and watched us because they were being so funny. after that an off duty police officer out of his jurisdiction came in to get some food. we were in florissant, the cop was from moline acres. as soon as the "molester" realized that he started messing with the police officer. we felt things getting out of hand so we left after my cousin gave one of the drunk dudes her number and they paid for our food. i dropped her off and headed back home and on the way i passed by the restaurant only to see them getting arrested lmao. the sober dude wasn't...ahh..he was so cute. so anyway, the next day they invited us over for drinks at their apartment. the "molester" was TOTALLY different sober. very apologetic, sorry, ashamed, etc...oh and cuter lol. however, i can't get with those dudes, neither one of them could explain why they had so much money on them and no jobs, all of them have several baby mommas, and one of them has already called to confront my cousin. y'all know i'm better than that. i will, however take him up on his dinner offer lmao.



this is me on that thursday night (before we went out) and my little cousin janiaha being silly.



she likes her nails done too <3

Lately.  

nyc, 2008.

i have not been feeling like myself lately. i'm stressed every time i think of how much work there is to be done. i'm taking 15 hours of coursework, working 48 hours a week at work. i am tired. i don't know anyone who works as hard as i do. i'm supposed to be working 32 hours a week, but at my job their calendar week starts on saturday. so if i'm scheduled to work tues-sun in one calendar week, it's technically one week and two days for them and they totally get away with it. on top of that running back and forth to school...sigh, i'm getting stressed just thinking about it. for the first time in my adult life i have money i don't have time to spend. then i realized everything that i have been buying for the apartment is the same shade of pale blue, for every room! what is wrong with me? has being out of touch with a social life made me loose my creativity?  i have not had freedom to think in a long while, read or do anything. i feel so lost, and totally alone.

i'm talking to this guy i'm really into...like wayyy too much. at first he turned me off with his pompus attitude, but managed to "win me back" the next day with his charm. he's a cool dude..i wonder what he thinks of me?

a lot has happened since the last time i updated, but i cannot remember..i'm sorry. yesterday my car swerved off the highway into a embankment. i'm ok, the car is ok. hmmm what else? i didn't show for my upper endoscopy procedure because i'm scared to death of being put under anesthesia. my doctors office keeps calling me telling me i need to come in and have this done. i just don't have time to. i have a professor who will mark you down a letter grade each day you're absent, a job that will count absents' against your attendence even if you're sick, and theres no such thing as sick days, off time, comp time or anything like that in my part-time world.

i hate the tone of this entry, but thats how i feel.
