is sign language the same all over the world??!

so would that make it the universal language?!? i guess i should learn it then huh...

celebrate good times c'mon!!!

it's a celebration!!!

YYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! so have you ever experienced a moment where you just couldn't stop smiling even when you tried?!? i mean, like it really becomes a physical affliction and the smile almost starts to hurt your face (but not quite)... well sons and daughters, today i had that moment ALL DAY... why?!? because as of today, friday april 28th, 2006, I AM NO LONGER AN INTERN!!! woo woo woo woo (insert arsenio arms here)... YES!!! i am OFFICIALLY a full time employee in advertising!!! i thought this moment would never come... i'd like to thank all of the people who made this possible... my mom for never giving up hope and helping me to pay my rent for the past few months (because hey, no one can really live off of an intern's paycheck)... teresita for harassing me on e-mail all day at work... talib for constantly sending me inappropriate IMs at work... jenee for having a rhyming name... sarah for being the best facebook boyfriend a girl could have... anika, karmel, sarah, and kelly for toughing it out with me inside of our intern closet... trinity for keeping up w/ our wednesday date nights... mikala for keeping up w/ our saturday afternoon dates... momo for giving me reading materials on those "busy days" (check out her blog)... renard the great for keeping me occupied on facebook on those "really busy" days... and my brother, just for being him!!! YAY!!! I start the new job on Monday… can’t wait!

word to the wise: NEVER sleep with a thong on...

...that ish is UNCOMFORTABLE!!!

but ok, i just witnessed something pretty disturbing in the 20th floor ladies bathroom... now, whenever i go to the bathroom i usually choose the very first stall b/c i read somewhere that it usually has the least germs (you know, because people usually walk right past it)... so when i go to open the door i see two (2) HUGE turds (LOL i just said turd... thats such a strange word)!!! ok so besides the fact that this was extremely disgusting (but based on my last blog i think everyone knows that i'm used to this behaviour from the ladies on the 20th floor) i was a bit disturbed by the fact that there was no toilet paper in the bowl... so i was just wondering, did this lady really wipe her booty?!? or did she just boo boo then leave w/o even bothering to wipe or flush?!? my hopes is that she flushed and the only thing that went down was the paper, but she was too busy to notice b/c she had to rush out to wash her hands... ughk!!! i think i'm just gonna stop drinking water at work so i can just avoid the bathroom from now on...

leaving skidmarks on the toilet bowl at work is unacceptable...

...just flush twice ladies... it's not hard...


i'm just not in a working mood today... anyone have any good websites to surf while at work?!?

fat people doing splits is WEIRD...

... it's just not right...

but anyhooo... guess what folks?!? I GOT A NEW JOB!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!! i can FINALLY be able to support myself and not depend on mom anymore... i'm on SALARY!!!

so...

not only can i hear my neighbor downstairs arguing about his son, but i can also hear what appears to be his ex on the other line of the phone arguing back... i know waaay too much about his personal situation right now... gotta love this quality architecture...

stupidity...

name change

soo, i think the intern room could justifiably change its name to "the slave quarters"... b/c i think that's what i officially am...

you can't overlove your underwear...

Well I don’t really have anything to say about my underwear… but, you really can’t overlove them… especially not boy shorts…

So my mom came into town on Thursday and left today (and not to sound sappy, but I kinda miss her already; time flies when you’re having fun)… so, since I haven’t written in a few days, I thought I’d talk about the highlights (and lowlights) of the weekend:

• My mom cleaned my apartment!!! This makes it the first time it has been cleaned since I moved in… 6 months ago… she then proceeded to lecture me on cleanliness for the rest of the weekend… I think at some point she even told me that I’ll never get a boyfriend with a dirty apartment… so far that theory has been correct…
  
• I told my mom she dressed like a 60 year old man… I didn’t mean it in a disrespectful way… I was just trying to help… I think she understood… sorry mom…
  
• We went to the cheesecake factory last night (my FAVORITE place to eat) and our waiter was one SEXY mofo… I don’t remember his name, but that man looked GOOD… damn…
  
• My apt complex has managed to have blackouts everyday for the past 2 weeks… I called my landlord today and he pretended like he didn’t know what I was talking about… but I know I can’t possibly be the first person to complain about this… at first I thought Georgia power was teaching me a lesson for not paying the bill on time… but I mean, at least I paid it…
  
• My mom bought me kitchen appliances!!! This means, I no longer have to boil water in the microwave, cook greens in my electric skillet, drink water from martini glasses, or toast bread in the oven… good job mom…
  
  For anyone who hasn’t heard India.arie’s “I am not my hair” I suggest you download it…

aawwwww yea!!!

so, they called to ask me for references... thats always a good sign right?!?

because the possum just wasn't enough....

reason numner 4,968,044 why i NEED a new apartment:

so i'm sure that those of you who are even remotely close to me in a any way already know of the incident which involved my apartment, a dirty little possum, and a frantic 911 call in the middle of the night... i don't want to get into it b/c thats still a touchy subject with me... but anyways, i took a half day of work today b/c i had a very looong interview at another ad agency... i get home early, ready to enjoy the rest of the beautiful day... i pull into my garage, and open the door to of my car, and what do i see... SNAKES!!! five little baby snakes... well, they were like a foot long, but thats besides the point... my apartment complex has snakes!!! the maintanence guy came and killed 3 of them, but the other 2 climed back up into the wall of my garage, which means they're still there, alive, and waiting to attack... my mom suggested that they are newborn snakes, which means theres a mad mama somewhere looking for her 3 dead children... oh lord, i just hope they find a new home... i can't deal with anymore wild animals (reptiles, whatever)... 5 months until the lease is up...
