i know... you seen it...

lol no i will not speak of yung joc here. i was just wondering if any of you all had been to target lately. and if so, did you see this? it has my name on it! not my real name of course, my pseudonym. lauren took a picture of it last week. seems like the perfect time to talk about where i got this name....



this is kaori night. a character from the cartoon, "Sailor Moon." she is where i got my name. back in the day i used to get home from school to watch it and keep up with the episodes. mind you i was 16.

so yeah kaori was a bad guy. she was the assistant to an evil doctor who lost his daughter and swore to get back at those who failed to save her, namely the sailor scouts. but i wont bore you. just know kaori night is a bad bitch.

so when i was going through some changes in life- see my deep post- i decided to change my name. previously i was using a combination of mine and my ex's and it was vastly unfitting seeing how i hated him and planned to keep dating at some point. one day i was looking up my friends' names on babynamefinder.com and decided to keep going cuz i like to know the meanings of words. so i looked up kaori and got "aroma of the flower." how enchanting sounding.

i wrote it on my folder from school. i used to do graf looking art on my notebooks. my friend legal said, in his soft voice, what's that? kowree? and so began my venture into explaining my name and what it means. kesi used to spell it like koala. which back in the day when we were first dating was cute.

kaori is my more daring side. she is the part of me that stands out and is eloquent and always has a comeback. she's the one that parties, haha. before i chose this name and persona i let my shyness and fear take over my personality. for the past few years its been easier for me to be and express myself. its more than just a name- its a symbol of the change i went through when i chose to make myself the first priority.

its funny that all this came from a cartoon...

Hey! It's like me and Lola... if it's even possible there's a "more outgoing" side of me. I think maybe it's just cuz of the song. You know...

Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets, and little man little Lola wants you... I always get what I aim for and your heart and soul is what I came for... don't you know you can't win? You're no exception to the rule, I'm irresistable you fool. Give in...

jameil, that's the only complicated nickname. the others are so easy- yoj- from lauren, missy lou- which my grandma calls all the girls, and joy joy, which is that ghetto double name thing...
