2006-09-30T18:43:43Z

Live Journal vs MySpace .... hmmmm ... I need a myspace for Erica! Shelby!!!! When are you goig to make me one????

Ok ... anyway ... I will now be appearing regular in Tuscaloosa @ Michaels. If any of you are out and about in the lovely loand of T'town on a Saturday with absolutely nothing to do .. stop by the bar and see a girl. I will be there every Saturday beginning October 14th.

I'm also beginning to be a regular at the Phoenix in Birmingham though I don't have a set schedule .. I'll try to begin posting my bookings to LJ and myspace (as soon as Shelby makes me a myspace page .. hint hint HINT) ... I love love LOVE the Phoenix! It's a fun place and the employees there are always supportive, friendly and nice. "Ya'll" come out to see the fabulous Zee Jones, Libertee Belle, Patty Pudding, Sabre, Cassidy Phillips along with other regulars like Savannah Heart, Porsha Black, Patience Taylor Fox and a more.

Of course, you can still catch me at the Quest! Maybe I'll start working there more often too - at least once a month or so. And then there's the ... how do you spell Yahct? Yahtc? Yacht? .. whatever .. Y Club ... I haven't worked there ... but ... hey if they call I'll go, lol. I've seen Charlie Brown there several times and she's FABU!!! Looking grand and still as trashy talkin' as ever! Love it.

And finally, the Jazz Cafe ... I haven't worked there in a long time .. hmmmm... Show director .. oh show director .. Call me, LOL!

Ok .. so there are my shout outs to all the bars .. go me for my public service announcement...Anyway .. So yeah .. somebody call me .. write me .... show some love .. come see me ....

Ok .. I'm bored .. gotta jet.

Peace...Love...and Chicken Grease hommies!

Do I ever get online any more?

2006-09-19T23:37:17Z

Ok .. so the answer is no! Anyway ... what's there to update .. didn't win the cast position .. don't really care anymore .. had fun doing it ... work has been crazy but still doing good .. drag is fun .. still doing good .. had some 'work' done .. looks good .. back on track .. finally .. personally .. all is well ....

Congrats to the New Miss Apollo and the Mr .. and all the first and second runner's up .... great pageant ....

I'm still single.. will the right man ever come along .. I doubt it... are there conversion classes on lesibianism .. I need to sign up!

Anyway .. peace out live journal .. I just posted bs .. wonder if you don't post in a while .. will they delete you .... and I can't get addicted to myspace....I really don't like online "blogging" or what not .. (why am I doing it now.. hmmm..at the library .. bored...what else is there) ...

anyway .. met a wonderful new friend.. my new grandmother...shout out to the House of Elegance!!!! I aspire to be you!!!! XOXOX

When Blessing's Come ... Darkness Follows

2006-07-28T06:49:21Z

So, I get in tonight and cops are everywhere taking finger prints and photos. Our apartment was broken into ... they took our dvd player/vcr combo ... lots of dvds....my laptop....suit cases ... and for some reason, the food in the refrigerator was all taken out.

Now, ya'll know I'm an optomistic ... always looking for the brighter side ... but I'm getting a little discouraged. Anyway, I'm not going to let this get me down ... "Shake it Off" Mariah!

Quick shout out to Paris Campbell ... I'm sorry to hear that you had to drop out of Quest Idol ... you were doing a fantastic job. I hope all is going well. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you to everyone who continually comes out to support me. I am sincerely appreciative and have been doing well in the Quest Idol competition. It's been close. All the girls are bringing it!!! To my Ttown crew, much love. Justin, thanks for being a trooper and coming to see me with the broken leg, LOL .. knee pads anyone? Lil'bit .. aka Dana .. my girl .. you are the best! And to your lil crew, say thank you for me. I am looking forward to next week...I want to WIN, LOL ..

Now back to a darker note...a close friend of mine .. VERY close friend may have lukemia. I need everyone praying for him. As most of you know I had colon cancer two years ago and have been doing fine since the surgery. I know a little of what he's about to face though not the same type cancer ... we are hoping its not but three out of the four doc's he's seen as pointed the finger at cancer. I won't go into details because that's his story to tell ... well journal .. that's it for now.

Love to ya'll .. ps .. I need someone who is crafty at myspace to do Erica Alexis Scott and kick butt myspace!!!!!

WOW on to round 3

2006-07-23T14:23:22Z

It's such a blessing to be apart of the first ever Quest Idol! I'm glad to be apart of round three. To all my friends out there, come out this Wednesday . . . I need your support as we move into Power Ballads.

All the girls want these two cast positions (including me). In case you didn't know, audience participation is 1/3 the vote. Secret justs make up a third and the cast/staff make up the final third.

I've done well in round one and two .. I hope to do well in round three . . . it would be so much easier to see all of your smiling faces. I know it's hard to get up and go to work on the Thursday after but guess what . . . I do it . . . and trust, I have ALOT more to take off than you do when I get home, LOL (-: (Well, some of you are questionable panty wearers, ha ha).

So congrats to the other contestants . . . my friend Miss Alysa Donyelle, new comer Alesha Coleman, Paris Campbell Star and Khia Campbell.

Muah,
Erica Alexis Scott

Also . . . if you have song suggestions email them to me or reply here.

QUEST IDOL

2006-07-10T07:46:14Z

OK To all my TRUE friends and fans ... starting this wednesday Quest Club will begin Quest Idol .. so I'm told. Anyway, for the next 4 weeks girls from around the way will be competeing for two new cast spots. Now, I'm going to attempt to compete. It's hard with a professional day job but you all know that my passion is on stage and being with my peeps. So, each and every Wednesday, I expect to see you there. I'm told its judge in three ways .. audience applause, secret judges and staff critiques. At the end of the four weeks two people will be hired.

I hope to see you there cheering me on.

Much love!
Erica Alexis Scott

PS: Who thinks I should adopt my old drag name back?

#1 Lesson for the day

2006-06-09T23:20:46Z

IT'S NOT THE NAMES YOU ARE CALLED ... IT'S THE ONES YOU ANSWER TOO.

Happy Pride Everyone! Take a moment to read the above and reflect. We have made so much progress and should always walk with our head held high. No matter how you chose to celebrate pride .. whethere is flashy... glitz ... glam ... or at home alone just being thankful .. remember you are as God made you .. and you are just fine! Remember pride EVENTS come one week per year but PRIDE lasts a life time.

I hope everyone has a great time.

If you see me out and about, I'll be "infagnito"...so say hey to the 'boi'.

Love ya,
Erica Alexis Scott

STILL BLESSED

2006-06-05T08:00:37Z

What ever happened to friends who supported you ... who had your back ... and who didn't criticize your every move? Well I learned something today reading livejournal ... and well I guess it's something I should have known.

But anyway ... it's good to see the face of a true friend. I went to Atlanta Saturday just to get away ... to rethink on things and come to terms with some things that have been on my mind. I had a lot of fun and really remembered me!

You know it's so funny that I use to be the ear for my close friends, offering guidance, advice and just listening. The sad thing is that ... I get down and have problems just like the next person ... but where's the ear when I need it? Exactly, no where but I've been independent for far than I can remember and well I guess I shouldn't have let my guard down ... but ... that's another lesson ... I'm back to me now .. realizing that no one will ever take care of you better than you take care of yourself. So what if I don't have a shoulder to cry on here in Bham .. guess what .. I don't f-ing need it Mary...get over it! I need to get tough like I use to be. When life slaps you .. slap the bitch back!

So ... dear diary ... what do I want to say to myself today:
I remember why I use to want to live in Birmingham.
***Sometimes you have to do something to realize it's not what you really wanted.

I remember what it use to be like to care deeply about people so much that I forgot to care about myself.
***The time finally came to put me first .. get over it! I couldn't and wouldn't stay a doormat forever!

I remember how it felt to have a dream.
***Time to refocus .. reinvent .. 'keep the dream alive'.

I remember where I've been, where I am and where I'm going.
***Wake up call -- get it, got it .. gooood.

If people can't understand and respect that then .. oh well ... I live my life how I want to ... and that is ... FREE.

What is a blessing? It's a supernatural gift from God .. it's the angel in form of a friend .. it's a mother's love .. a sister's hug .. it's family ... it's realizing that you are better off than you think ... it's being happy with who you are and content with where you are ...am I blessed? Yes! Still!

I have a great job that I love. I have friends and family who love me and who I love so much it hurts. I have my health. I have a roof over my head and a car to drive. I've learned to love me - all of me - the good, the bad and the ugly.

I looked back over some of my live journal entries and realized that the road is long and the miles I've travled are countless...but I realize there are still miles to go. I see progress...I see moving ahead... I'm not the person I use to be .. physically, mentally and spiritually ... and that's a good thing. The journey I've been on the past two years has been up .. it's been down ... and all directions inbetween, LOL ... I moved to a city that I love or thought I did .... still counting that one as a blessing (primarliy because it beats Tuscaloosa) ... so .. why be depressed...or down ....well it's because I forgot one lesson ... what is it?

Life has a way of wearing you down! BUT .. you have to shake it off...shake off the haters....the "going nowhere crowd" ... the jealous people .. the people who claim to love you but don't ... the people call themselves friend but show themselves friendless ....

What did I learn this weekend? When you fall into the shadows .. JUMP back in the light! (-:

PS: Now I remember why I stopped posing on an online journal!

Weekend Recap --- uggh ... such a blur

2006-03-12T22:31:39Z

I've realized that me, my mother and all my friends are alcoholics! Ok...so manly Me, Racquel and Hannah ..... Mostly me and Hannah, LOL.

Hannah and Jeremy came down Friday for a visit and will be leaving tonight - I'm so sad! Friday, we went to the PHAT friday show and partied all night long. We put the drinking and dancing down. Every time they blow into town SOMEBODY gets in trouble...(thanks Ya'll). Saturday we slept til like 5 because...well....that's what drunk hungover people do. Our day started by going to the mall and just hanging out. We met up with Racquel and Madison at O'charleys and after a 3 hour (ok 30 minute) wait we were finally seated. They took forever but it ended being a good thing because the comp'd our entire meal. We ordered the house down!!! Madison and I even had some margaritas! So anyway that was fun.

Jeremy's friend Shara has this guy she's dating that works at Amani Raha which is this cute little martini bar on southside..anyway ... we got whoa sh*tfaced early like at 9. I had like 4 martini's and it was all free...so what's better than alcohol..right...FREE alcohol.....well we decided we wanted to continue the night out on the town so we drove down to Ttown to catch Racquel and Sincerity's show at Michael's. Hannah pressured Rocky into going out with us! We got her so typsy ... mama, did you make it to softball practice .... hope you're on your way to nashville right now, LOL.

Ok...so here I am posting a quick recap .. I've gotta sign off and get ready for the pageant tonight. Ya'll come support the girl's!!!!

Muah!

I've taken this time to look back and realize yet again that I've been blessed and I thank God everyday for those blessings ... especially the one's that come in the form of true friendships!

So ... have a good weekend everyone ... I will most DEF!!!! ATL STYLE (-;

PS: I don't know how to put my promos on here, LOL ... where's a webmaster when you need one! I will add them to my aol profile and you can view them there (as soon as I get back home)

Boyz SUCK

2006-02-15T01:44:13Z

Ok, things can be going great and then out of the blue psycho bullshit pops ups!!! Take for instance my last post ... things going great.... well here we are on Valentine's Day and I've gone thru yet another defeat in the love department.

This guy fooled me - had me hooked. He all of a sudden stopped texting or calling me two days after he came back from Mississippi and then my 'sister' saw him kissing another boy at the Quest and all up on him. Now these are not my words but the way it was told to me ..."some skinny ugly boy"...

Well I had already resolved in my mind that it was over .. I'm not blonde I get the picture .. no call .. no text in several days means you're not interested and I can take a hint!

Well, it's so ironic that the other day ok 2/11 after the said boy spotted me at the Quest ... text messaged me. Well, I'm tired of being everyone's welcome mat and I was tipsy so I let him have it ...

Conversation went something like this...

J: Ok time has passed ... what's going on
Me Time has passed and you proved to be exactly what i feared so fuck you - get with the skinny boy you were with when I tried to talk to you. Don't ever text me again. I asked you not to hurt me and you went and did. I will not let you or anyone else fuck with my heart again. Fuck off.
J: What are you talking about? But ok. I really think you are highly confused or mistaken
Me Not mistaken .. just thru
J: Ok
Me I would just like to know what I did wrong
J: it's not what you did wrong babes..nothing like that ... just communication but we need to talk sometime
Me I see you in here. Stop disrespecting me. I am leaving my phone in the car. Bye
J: I'm leaving it's not disrespecting you but your friend i don't appreciate the approach from him but its cool this isn't a place to amend old times...do you think
Me I don't know what you are talking about. I just know that you stopped talking to me and it hurt. I did nothing wrong. But its cool. Whatever makes you happy you just missed out on a good thing.
J: I'm sorry I am but I don't want to loose what I could have had
J: Please be careful going home babes
J: Good afternoon
J: Please talk to me
J: Hope you had a great day at work today

I think maybe he's bipolar and its a good thing we didn't work out. He completely disses and me and then tries to make it see like I'm psycho or too needy or something. He use to text me several times a day with sweet messages and I'd always reply back .. i never initiated the texts .. so how can I be "too attached or too needy" ... the fact is that he probably met this boy online and wanted to fling it..well baby consider it flung, LOL .. I'm strong enough to say ... hit the road! I'm not slinging DO DO and you smell of horse SHIT!

So .. there... you have it ...

Boyz suck and VDAY is so depressing....

And how's your life going these days? LOL

Oh Happy Day

2006-01-29T13:43:31Z

Well, my boy is stillin Mississippi - I MISS HIM! He's sucha wonderful guy. It's so weird ... he's on 'the list' and it seems too good to be true. First, I know that ppl say if it seems to good to be true then most likely it is too good to be true. I don't know about that but I do know that there is someone out there for everyone and well I think I still have enough faith in men to give this one a try.

What list are you talking about Erica? You know the list! It's the list we've all made up either on paper or in our minds of what our bf's or gf's will be like. I had on my list, education, cute, sane, nice job, pretty eyes, cute accent, faithful, monogamus, peer - has to have a good relationship with his family, care about others more than himself, adore me (lol) - I also had on there he needed to like to party and yet be able to balance that with quiet times at home. Ok, there are other things on my list but my point is ... this one seems to have it all together. He has brought some stability into my life in only a few short weeks. Now, I'm not ready to pick out our colors or go walking down the aisle anytime soon but it's just so wonderful to meet a person who is INTO the other person and not just wanting in that person's pants. We have the same outlook on things .. the same vision for ourselves .. and did I mention he's a sweetheart???

OK...I miss him so I thought I'd write about him.

Moving on ... I move in like ...3 DAYS!!! I'm so excited. There was a few kinks in my plans but I think it will all work out. It's going to be great having my lil 'family' together. Through the good and the bad, one thing remains .. we stick together. Now, mind you ... some recent things have occured: DISCLAIMER: I was in no way, shape, form or fashion, involved in ... I'll let them two work that out ... but anyway .. they both know that I'm always here for them.

It's so funny how life works itself out if we just give it time. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the upcoming year. There are so many good things just around the corner.

PHAT FRIDAY was the deal. I loved LOVED Angelique!!! Now..who was the bitch who danced the house down??? RACQUEL!!! You .. as always .. were the f'ng deal!!! It was awesome to see the house packed. I loved Jordan and Trinity as well and Miss Porsha B you brung it with the ghetto fab. I think this was one night where the crowd was really into all the entertainers and it was so fun. The enegy felt like old times!

I got to see a few lovely faces and get to talk to some old friends - shout outs to: Mark 590, Dj Derek, Shady D, Porker Reigh and a few others .... and oh lord..speaking of drama .. I had to take this girl to the ER because her boobie felt like it was going to explode! So I am sitting in the hospital waiting room from like 5AM to 8AM .. but hey .. it was my good summaritan act for the month....maybe Karma will be nice to me in return.

Well .. this is all I can think of for now .. oh wait .. two more updates: My day job is going great. I just "graduated" from phase 2 training so now my job is secured. I am in phase 3 -specialty training - not sure how long that lasts but I tell you the "on the job" training here is kick but. Remember, I've been training since Oct 24th! Love it! Gastric bypass update: I went from 298 to 158 .. I am comfortable now .. I just gotta tone it up .. tummy tuck anyone? LOL...but seriously, my health had gotten bad there for a month .. I wasn't geting enough nutrition .. had a cancer scare (some tests came back a little wierd) .. and then was stressed out with my living situation and lack of job security ... now all seems back on track .. it's so hard to remain optomistic when you're in a slump but thank GOD he's faitful and always brings us thru even when we don't expect it or deserve it. AMEN!

Ok...love you all .. muah!

(-: Things are still great

2006-01-22T00:08:11Z

So last night I went on my first date with this really sweet guy. It went well as first dates go. He took me to the Macaroni Gril and then we had drinks at the Jazz Cafe. After that we hit on over to the Quest to see the show. I loved the fact that he opend all my doors and took very good care of me all night. I got to learn a lot about him and from our initial conversations, he seems like a very good man. He's got a good job, he's sane, loves drag and well...ya can't really beat that! Oh..he loves the artform .. not wearing the panties, LOL! Ahhh!

He had to be at work early so our date ended but I stayed at the Quest. It was nice getting to hang out with KuntryQueen, Christopher and Ryan! *wink wink* WHO WAS THAT LIBERTY BELL ON BOTOX LOOKALIKE???

Well...not to much to update...2006 is still going good so far. Me and Racquel are about to hit it to Tuscaloosa for our booking at the trailer .. LOL .. just kidding .. we are at Micheal's in TTOWN tonight.

To all of you whom I have not seen or heard from in forever ... let's resolve to stay in contact! Miss you!

Love always,
Erica Alexis Scott

I got approved for my apartment today! I'm so excited! Our family is finally coming home! Porsha ... Darren ... I love you to beyond measure. I only wish other people could see the 'realness' in you two. You two have been there for me when .. well when I wasn't really being there for myself! I'm so glad the my Christmas Wish is come true.

So ... anyway ... we three are moving in to our apt on Feb 1st .. we are going to throw a house warming/party so get ready diva's!!! I love presents, LOL.

This is the last "hurdle" to my life .. as I saw it .. first was getting here .. then it was getting a job .. and now it's having a home...with this finally happening .. I'm ready to focus on other things...

***Back to Horomone therapy and full speed ahead*** Like me and Auntie LISA were talking .. lol, Love Chivonne .. anyway ... 2005 was such a good year for us .. 2006 just has to be the cherry on top, right!!!!

Ok...much love people...
