Verbal Dyslexia

I have a way of being truly bad with words. Not being able to think of the correct one in a timely manner, not knowing enough and mixing them up in sayings are just a few of my favorite things. Aww-nuts will be used to keep a running list. Here are the top 2.

Verbal Dyslexia:
  1. Don't cry sheep
  2. Eggo my leggo
I'm sure you've heard me say more so feel free to add-on. kthxbai.

3 Days Left!!!!

Hello,

I wanted to steal 1 minute of your time in support of North Korean refugees seeking asylum in the US. Arguably the most isolated country in the world, North Korean refugees have no hope for a chance at freedom without the help of caring citizens around the world. 5 days is not a whole lot of time for us, but 5 days seems like a lifetime for these refugees.

American Express is holding a competition for the top 25 (out of 1190) 'positive impact' projects to share 2.5 million in funding. Under Liberty in North Korea, the Liberty House program was submitted into the competition, a refugee resettlement center that houses, supports, and creates a community for North Korean refugees resettling in the US. If awarded, these funds will FULLY and DIRECTLY be used to help NK refugees resettle in the US and in South Korea, apply for scholarships and mini-grants, and ultimately provide them with practical ways to reach a life of freedom. A small group of us worked on the Liberty House project for many months, so we are very excited to see this come to fruition.

There are only 3 days left to nominate LiNK's "Liberty House" - an initiative to assist North Korean refugees seeking asylum in the United States - for consideration in the American Express Members Project competition.
The winning project will be awarded $1.5 million, while second and third place projects will win $500,000 and $300,000 respectively. Two finalists will also win $100,000 each.

We're currently in 39th place, so these next 5 days are crucial to get us to the Top 25.

This is all you have to do to nominate Liberty House Project:

1. Visit http://www.membersproject.com/project/view/B9OYLB by Monday, September 1.
2. You DON'T have to be a cardholder. Sign-in as an AMEX GUEST MEMBER (just 1 page of basic info), or log in if you are already an AMEX cardholder
3. Click on Nominate This Project! (make sure it's Liberty House Project)

4. Lastly, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the "facebook" or "myspace" icon so that you can post it to your profile.


How else can you help?

*Ask 10 of your friends and family to do the same by simply forwarding this email.

*You can also spread the word by clicking on the Tell a Friend, Facebook, MySpace, delicious, Digg, and StumbleUpon links in the last section of our project page.

*Copy/paste this info onto your blog/xanga/etc. or even copy this into your away message: http://www.membersproject.com/project/view/B9OYLB - Please Vote to support N. Korean Human Rights

*Stop fantasy football and ask everyone to take a moment to vote


We only have until Monday, September 1 so please don't put this off. Your vote can be a catalyst to help hundreds of North Korean refugees!


Thank you for your time and nomination!


Thank you SOOO much!!

Things Society Keeps Teaching Me

a. Hard work does not pay off

  • Being manipulative works better
  • Just gotta make it look like you did something and talk a lot
2. Being a good person means nothing

  • Yup, nothing.
  • Jerk *ffs get everything

Update: Today sucks. I'm cold. My feets is wets. They didn't have my sammie at Subway (and they looked at me like I made something up. Steak and cheese you bastardos! I've gotten it from you at least 3 times in past 2 months.). MTV are a-holes. Time to go home.

20 years ago today (March 12)...

...this was the number one single.

historic convos of yesterday

Convo 1: me, coworker A, and coworker B are chatting. A is rubbing his neck, looking pained. i am eating cookies.

B: (to A) what's wrong with you?

A: i have a stiffness problem.

me: (spitting out cookie, laughing hysterically)

A: what?

B: well, i guess you could take that both ways.

me: (spitting out second cookie, laughing hysterically)

note: no one laughed with me, and i just kept giggling throughout convo bc i kept thinking about it.


Convo 2: friend and i are talking about our past karaoke experience, where he annoyed me by wanting to sing "Bye, Bye, Bye" at least 4 times.

friend: c'mon, it wasn't four times.

me: yes it was!

friend: it was more like two.

me: uh, no, bc you put more in when i was in the bathroom.

friend: that's what she said.

me: okay, that's just disgusting.

3 Points For Awesomeness

Dearest Ei,

I dressed all pretty for our date tonight. I kind of did my hairs. I put some makeups on. I even wore my pretty purple see-thru shirt. But alas... I went to Starbucks with Flanders so we could steal a few moments. I had two tall hot chocolates balanced, one on top the other, in one hand (and I looked good) so I could get my supervisors change out of my pocket when my world came crashing down. Things like this always happen in slow motion. But not a slow motion where you can do anything to save yourself or the hot chocolate. A slow motion where you see everything happening and know what the outcome is going to be but you, yourself have become too retarded to do anything. Anyway, now it looks as if I shat all over my front-side. Weird. I have a meeting with GQ and then off to anywhere to buy cheap pants (I'm buying clothes and I don't have time for a good purchase).

Moral of the story: Always have extra set of clothes at work (a sweater? not enough).
Possible other moral of the story: Hold the hot beverages until you can pass them off.

xoxo,
m

Cranberries

Yesterday was a pretty good day. I was super productive at work. I had yummy lasagna. I made babies with Jon Stewart (well, in my head). Got to play with Harv (altho, he doesn't like me as much these days. I think he's mad that I don't spend enough time with him.). Ate ous cream. What more could a person ask for?

Anyway, today already blows. It's 10:42 am...and it's already been a long, long day. Is it 7pm yet?

Speaking of Taco Bell...

This happened a while ago at the Taco Bell drive thru, but I should probably have it on record in case I forget...


Solomon: I'd like 10,000 tacos please.
Drive Thru Operator: Pardon me?
Solomon: I changed my mind. I'd like two tacos please.

But you
Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can't, you forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else

I don't see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you
We both have shiny happy fits of rage

Jersey

I decided that I wanted Taco Bell for lunch. Scrumptios! Tru story. But I didn't know where to go because...no one hangs out in this area and I haven't worked here long. Plus, it's cold so I usually stay within a block radius for food. Anyway, I used Taco Bell's locator and the closest location they gave me is in Jersey. WHAT?! I know of a handful in the city, just not close enough right now. Worst locator ever! Anyway, it's cold and I don't wanna make my way to Ktown for it so...Chipotle it is. And I'm ordering online this time. No line! Maybe Taco Bell tonight...

not in kansas anymore

a woman just stopped me in the middle of the street to tell me i have buttoned my coat unevenly. i don't know what i was more surprised at:

A) how observant the woman was. when i'm walking in the street, i'm lucky if i see an open gutter, let alone what a bypasser is wearing.

or

B) that she actually took the time to stop and tell me about my coat. there are people all over the city with unbuttoned flies, spinach in their teeth, poop on their shoes...and no one will say anything about it.

a rare case study, this one.

But I guess this is mostly for ei because I'm always hearing about you (don't worry, only good, flattering things), but I don't think you know anything about me and this link combines two things that I love. ...Well, actually, it's one thing that I love and one thing that I am mostly indifferent toward... Board games and Asians. I won't say which one I love and which I am indifferent about. In any case, I hope you enjoy this:

You are the diva of the family. Nothing is too big of a price for you to pay, even though your twin brother keeps telling you otherwise. You try to be responsible at everything just like him, but you can't quite make it to his level.

Al Bundy

I attempted health today. That's right ladies and gentlemen, I got a salad. For those of you that are unfamiliar, I have never ordered a salad in my life. I usually don't even touch them when they come with the meal, but I'm trying to be grownsed up and take care of myself. Anyway, I thought maybe I'd like it today (I used to dislike oatmeal and hotdogs and am big fans of both now). Besides, Tuesday was attempt one at eating salad but I got Chipotle instead (wouldn't you make the same decision? Almost happened again.) so I had to try again.

Thoughts on salad:
a. Gross
2. Look at the COMPLETE menu before you start ordering. Even if you're a tad embarrassed like the first time you ordered at Starbucks and made your friend do it for you. If you don't, you'll end up with cucumber, tomato, chick peas & hearts of palm (instead of avacado, mandarin oranges, eggs, almonds and crunchies).
d. Why the eff does this nasty thing cost me $7.55. There isn't even any meat!
7. Don't skimp on the dressing. That's the only hope that I'll eat this.
j. This thing was pretty heavy...
17. I have never been so unhappy about a meal. I'll probably rant about this until the summer the way I'm still upset about the mullet.
m. I can't finish it. I'm done fishing around for the chick peas and other things and I'd say 75% of it's still in the bowl. Tengo hambre. fashO. I'm out $7.55.

I've done enough grownsing up for now.

Morning After

I starteda tradition last year and last night I kept it alive. How it always happens I don't know because I can't remember a lot of it. I just know that it happened. And at some point I lost one of my contacts. My room's always a disaster after I try to get ready for bed blacked out.

Thanks for trying to take care of me Ei! I remember that much. Perhaps that'll be a new tradition. Something tells me that's not a good thing though. And the morning after was a mix of things. Got my camera!! Forgot/lost phone. Got on wrong train (got breakfast! which led me to use a different train entrance). Waited a long time for right train. I didn't iron my suit or shirt and at this point I just wanna skip my interview.

On another note, tell Car I say g'luck at her interview (that's today, isn't it?) All plans must be made via e-mail today (not that they aren't already) before 4:30 and then around 5:30/6 I'll have the phone again. oOh...the VP just asked me when I started. I hope that's a good sign...
