Why are we SO into Social Networking sites?

Before i start i do want to say a huge THANK YOU to my two followers (CharlieCran and Jen- you guys are awesome) AND to my readers..im so glad you guys like the blog so far, i appreciate the LOVE..i hope this blog entertains you during your lectures (Dabz), study breaks, trips etc.. Licksssssss to u ALL =).
Ok so I’m sure everyone is pretty familiar with Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Hi5 and many other social networking sites. I must say I do love the idea of all these sites because it’s an easier way to keep in touch with friends and family who may be in other parts of the world. I’m a member of both Twitter and Facebook. I LOVE Twitter but tolerate Facebook, lol ok let me not lie I did have my obsession with Facebook in the past and before that it was Hi5... now who remembers Hi5??? Lol this was THE best social website when I was in High School. Seems like the more testimonials you had on your page the ‘cooler’ you were… *sigh* gone are the days where people begged each other to write testimonials and all that good stuff. Soon after High School Hi5 was getting old and people were looking for the next best thing...and thankfully that's when Facebook was introduced to a lot of us. Now this social site was wayyy cooler than Hi5 because initially it was meant for ‘ College/Uni students’ and it made us feel as though we were 'THE SHIT' seeing as we just got out of high school and the whole 'senior vs juvee' situation was still very serious, UNTIL those in high school found their way in..but like i said 'Gone are the days'. Plus Facebook was just a big upgrade, you were able to ‘find’ people that you hadn’t seen or heard from in YEARS so for the most part it was very very interesting. Then came the different applications and profile changes which was fun for some people but not all. Then I heard about Twitter. *pure bliss* I love these sites and would like to find out what they are about from personal experience rather than what somebody else told me about it.

So I joined Twitter back in April I believe, initially because I heard a lot of celebrities tweeted and I kind of wanted to know (stalk) The Kardashian sisters because I just think they are disgusting (fierce). But then a lot of my friends started joining which was just great because at least I could tweet people I actually knew lol. I’ve loved Twitter ever since and because of that it makes me want to get rid of my Facebook- only reason it’s still active is because a lot of my ‘friends’ don’t know anything about twitter and I just like to look at albums anyway-
Here’s a little clip for all my Tweeples, my friend Tayo sent it to me…( Hi Sophie..heheh)



TWITTER ROCKS! lol...and i honestly do get depressed when my ubertwitter or tweetdeck is down or even Twitter itself...*sigh* whenever that happens im FORCED to get on Facebook *yuck*

Hope you guys have a great weekend, and to those who are going to Halloween Parties and all, ENJOY!

Love the Skin You're in =)..i know i DO!!!

Hey everyone how did your weekend turn out? Hopefully it was better than mine. Didn't do much at all, although I did come across an arrogant little fellow and this is how it happened.... This past weekend was Spelhouse Homecoming(Spelman and Morehouse College), my room mate told me about the various events they had going on and invited me to go with her so i did. Honestly its not my scene and i would have had more fun elsewhere but i went just so i could get out the house. As we were walking to go meet up with some friends, a group of guys walk by and one of them said towards our direction..."You cute, but you too dark skinned"...mind you he was 'light skinned' not mixed race or anything. I didn't respond to him because i was wayyyy to shocked to even think plus he can't even speak well, i mean what is " YOU TOO CUTE?" hissss
This little incident was on my mind for a bit and maybe it's just me but i just can't seem to find a solution as to why he would even open his mouth to say such!!
Personally i LOVE my complexion and think its gorgeous, i think I'm a pretty girl and i thank God for the body and skin he put me in =)
Ladies just love yourselves no matter what people may have said to you or what you've heard. Be comfortable in your skin and LIVE.LAUGH&LOVE.
Happy Monday

Let's Start Over...

Back in May i started this blog and thought i was going to update at LEAST every other day if not more. Obviously that didn't work out as well as i had planned. So i have decided to start over.
So about ME..The name is Sayo aka Lexi Banks, live in the States and have been here for about 5years now. Grew up in London and went to Secondary school in Nigeria (loved EVERY part of it if i may add). Met some of the best people while i was there, and I'm happy to call them 'friends'.Speaking of friends, there's this one particular friend of mine who REALLY encouraged me to write again...he's my ex-boyfriend known him for THE longest time and we still have a great friendship. But anyways, while he and i were talking, i told him about how much i missed writing and blogging..long story short he told me to stop procrastinating and start writing again which is another main reason why you are reading this today.
Lately been reading a lot of blogs from friends blogs to 'fashion' blogs and i was inspired to start writing again. Honestly, you never know anyone's story and i find blogging peaceful and warming to the heart.
Also about a week ago while i was on twitter **follow me btw www.twitter.com/LexiBanks ** i had tweeted about how i was shy and i wanted to just 'do things without being shy' and my friend Ore **follow her too www.twitter.com/OreRuns ** said to me and i quote..
" Whatever it is just do it!!!! Let go of the shyness, live for the moment :)"
and immediately i thought about blogging so here i am =).

Smooches and Licks!
