realization.

i just decided... one of the worst parts of being a single girl and living alone... you have to kill all your own nasty home-invading bugs! eewww.

you probably didn't know.

i work more than i want to. two of my best friends are 11 years older and 11 years younger than i. i love commas. i have a secret obsession with panties. and picture frames.

i sleep surrounded by pillows because i like the feeling of being snuggled. amongst the pillows is one of feathers that may be as old as i am. it disgusts my friends and family alike, but i can't bear to get rid of it because it is so fabulously cozy.

my favorite colors are not single colors, but combinations of colors. i quote the movie my big fat greek wedding more than would be considered funny to most people. i have seen the movie annie more times than any other movie.

i shamelessly listen to the same song over and over again. i love my refrigerator families. cheese is one of my favorite foods. i always have room for ice cream. swaddling babies brings me great joy.

i love inside jokes. and people who think i'm funny. i'm too shy. i procrastinate too much. i'm afraid to be seen as ungrateful or unappreciative.

i love pedicures. i hate manicures. i have the most amazing eyes. i can't decide if i like laying on my couch or my bed more. i spend too much time waiting by the phone. i love text messages. getting paged at work makes me feel important.

i like to complain. i think flirting is fun. i'm ok with being seen as a damsel in distress. i hate pumping gas. i started drinking coffee because of peer pressure. i'm now addicted.

i hate my skin. black and white photos are my favorites. i always wanted to be a girl scout. and a little sister. i love to pluck my eyebrows. my fake fireplace is one of my favorite parts of my house. i like living alone more than i thought i would.

i keep it cold in my house so i can hibernate under the covers. i'm afraid of having a wedding day because i don't like to be the center of attention. i'm afraid of not having a wedding day. i have too many pairs of shoes.

and now you know.

taking applications.

for a new personal assistant. i THOUGHT i'd secured one, but APPARENTLY she's not doing a very good job... (see previous comments in which she has no idea where i am during the day...)

responsibilities to include: maintaining current schedule of "appointments," prioritizing said appointments based on how cute he is, and telling me i'm pretty daily.

compensation: i'm pretty and you can look at me. that should just about cover it.

please direct all inquiries to my current personal assistant. she's bored and could use someone to talk to.

goomba: defined.

if you google it, as one might do when trying to learn about something that one knows nothing of, you will get links to the character displayed below. we'll use him as our jumping off point...
see those pointy teeth? watch out when you are kissing him... they are SHARP! and he will bite you! and leave a bruise! note that he has no arms. this is the most likely explanation as to why he doesn't call when he says he will... he can't dial the phone! observe how he appears to be in motion... that's because he's walking away from you, even though you are spectacular. but don't worry. check out the blank stare... there's no substance in there... what.so.ever. you're OBVIOUSLY better off without him.

man, you guys are needy.

in the last 24 hours, 4 of you have asked for an update. so i'm updating.

the last two weeks have made up the "holiday block" of my intern year. i worked about 100 hours the first week, and have had the second week off. i didn't do much of anything. a little of this, a little of that. spent christmas eve with the family. spent new years eve with jen and bob. and decovin. who is so much fun right now. saw a movie. ps i love you. ugh. it was so good, but it was so incredibly sad. and other than that... well... not much going on.

and i have to go back to work tomorrow. boo. i DID get my house un-decorated for christmas, which was a big accomplishment. perhaps the biggest of my vacation.

now, aren't you glad you begged for an update? hopefully next week, there will be more excitement to entertain you with. :-)
