Saturday Night Nonsense July 6, 2008

1. Roommate wars have commenced as of last night. She wanted to have her trashy friends over, I wasn’t up for it… texts went back and forth regarding respecting each other’s lifestyles and schedules. She’s an idiot. Basically. I stayed at a friend’s house to avoid what was going on here and came back today. Nothing has been said and it’s now 3:45 a.m our time and she’s not here. So…. I’m hoping she’s out for the night. I was seriously concerned that she may have people over when I got back from work, but nope. Which is good… because I was about to turn into a serious bitch. I hate having a roommie.

 

2. Athletic Trainer and I were texting the other night. He was telling me that he may go out and meet a friend or the 21 year old. I asked if he was “like getting serious with this girl.” He said “Somewhat. We’ve spent a good amount of time together.” WHAT!? He can get serious with a 21 year old but not me ?! This annoys and upsets me to no end. And since Unofficial has been so busy, I’m feeling slightly neglected by him which just escalates the whole AT situation. But really… REALLY!?!? AT is going to “get serious” with a 21 year old?!?! WTF!!!!!!!!

 

3. Work Crush came back from Ireland last night (he was on vacay). He was back at the restaurant tonight. I giggled a lot.

 

4. My high school ex-boyfriend called me a few hours after one of his best friends also called me. Then I got a text from High School Ex (HSE) to hang out. I told him I was at work and couldn’t. Texts go back many times regarding me going there and I definitely call him out on having a fiancee etc. He just wants to hang w/ an old friend and in my head that can’t be a good thing. We’re friends but I know he has these underlying feelings for me, because let’s be honest… I’m the best girl to ever date/marry and eventually they all realize this. So anyway I tell him I have plans and can’t come over. I just don’t think it’s a good idea especially when I feel like he’s prob been drinking. Then he tells me to call him via text and I do. I am out w/ friends after work and he can’t understand why I won’t come over. He thinks that it’s the end of us being friends. Mind you… he’s the one who hasn’t allowed his fiancee and I to meet. There are no feelings on my end towards him in any non-plutonic way. it’s RIDICULOUS. he’s thinking of ending this over 10 year friendship because he’s afraid she won’t liek him being friends with me… WHAT!? What am I missing!?!?!? I dont get it………..

Blah blah July 2, 2008

1. I got my surprise today!!! YAY!!! Random sent me this book. PERFECT!!

 

2. Ever have a craving for something, eat it and then almost immediately feel gross? Happens to me each time with Whoppers. Ugh. And now, I feel gross. Blah!

 

3. I had business cards printed last week from that stupid Easy Button place. I think I wrote about this earlier this week. They came out like crap. Well, some of them. By some, I mean 75% of them. They were either cut wrong or there is some strange coloring on them. I brought them back to the store today and spoke w/ the manager. He was going to have them re-printed by since I ordered them online to be printed in the store, the file is no longer saved on their computer and I have to REORDER them and then he will give me the money back for the reorder. He said it’s OK if I want to make some changes and that he’ll give me the full 200 order. The problem? I HAVE NO MONEY. Ordering online requires payment online. ARGH. Dummy Edit: I’m an idiot. It does not require payment online for in store pickup. Talk about getting excited about nothing. The new order is in and I should pick them up tomorrow morning! Plus, I changed them a little bit. I added the “Esq.” because I had forgotten and I moved things around. I like them better now.

Persuasion, Athletic Trainer, What!?, Lawyer Stuff, and Surprises! July 2, 2008

1. Last night I finished Jane Austen’s “Persuasion.” I’ve been reading it here and there for a while now. Why? Well… I was watching “The Lake House” [stop snickering] and she said it was her favorite book because it was about these two people who wanted to be together but were separated for years due to various reasons… etc. It’s a good book. I liked it. Granted, I would like it better if it were in more modern language, but whatever, I got the point of it.

 

2. Athletic Trainer and I haven’t been speaking much lately. He was dumb and let the name of his 21 year old slip in a text. Once a name is used, I want no part. And since he did use her name (and told me he was taking her out to dinner… WHAT!?) I know it’s something real. Why this matters? No idea. It definitely causes a distance between us though. It’s weird to not have him there as someone to banter with and fall back on… but maybe that’s good?

 

3. I had some very vivid dreams last night. The one that scared me the most and was the most vivid was kind of twisted. There was a mass murderer and we started to think it was my Mom. She had what she was saying was a prescription for adivan (sp?) but the pills looked like long white pieces of chalk. Then we figured out it was my Nana who was the murderer and we had to stop her so I stabbed her numerous times in the chest with one of those old school metal nail filers. And then, I told my Mom I was going to need the adivan in order to sleep. We were concerned about her potential addiction so I agreed to lock the adivan in my safe box. UMM…. WHAT!?!!?!??!?! REALLY!? REALLY! THIS IS THE CRAP I DREAM ABOUT!!!!!! What the hell happened to my dirty dreams? Shit…

 

4. I sent out my first engagement letter (letter that formalizes the attorney-client relationship) today. It was pretty cool. This guy is excited about the work I’ve done so far and is pushing to have me write his will and get paid for it… So… Freelancing it is for now! haha…

 

5. Random claims that there is a surprise in the mail on its way to me and I should be getting it tomorrow…. I’m so excited!!! I love surprises!! Yay!!

This Is My Friend… Seriously… June 30, 2008

I just received this text in regards to sending a picture of my ummm… chest. Mind you… I didn’t ACTUALLY send the picture… it was requested that I do (jokingly) and then followed by this text:

 

“Okay, but seriously. don’t do it because I have a commandment. Thou shalt not covet thy straight friends naughty pillows.”

This Is Amazing… June 30, 2008

Listen to this. Seriously, though… listen to the entire thing. It’s amazing!

Other Happenings… June 30, 2008

1. Unofficial’s job is getting more and more stressful as the company runs out of money. He is very much afraid of losing his job and what he’ll do after. Friday, to be the really cute quasi-girlfriend that I am, I met up with him before he went to work. I brought him cupcakes and a nice card. He said “You woke up this early to drive here and bring me cupcakes?” My response “I just wanted to start your day off with a smile.” I think he’s smitten…

 

2. There was a program for newly admitted attorneys sponsored by the local bar association on Friday. I went hoping to be able to network. I’m noticing that I find myself very timid and overwhelmed at these events. I see people in groups and I’m not sure how to break in. Everyone seems to know everyone else (obv from going to school in the area) and I’m an outsider. I’ve never been one who anybody would consider “timid,” so this is weird. Any advice?

 

3. Also, on Friday, one of my best friends from college (who I NEVER see) came to my place and we had a taco/margarita night. Nothing crazy, just a couple margaritas and some tacos. I forgot how much I love tacos AND hanging out with her. I need to name her for here. Wait. I’ve got it. Mrs. Gump. She’ll understand the reference… ahahahhaha. Anyway, we had a great time. It was good to catch up, I miss her a ton. We’ve had a weird friendship as much of it has been solely via internet/phone because of distance. BUT since we live near each other again, we’re trying… I was just happy to be hanging out with her.

 

4. Saturday was interesting. I ended up hanging out with Unofficial and his best friend from out of town. We had brunch, then reconvened at a bar around 5:30 pm. Some of his other friends showed up and we had a great time. The problem? Me starting to drink in the early afternoon and trying to keep up with the boys all night. Oh Jesus. Unofficial was great, he was very attentive and cute with me. The guys seemed to like me, so that’s good too. However, I can’t remember the last couple hours of being awake. Unofficial says one bar shut me off, so I was pissed. I asked if I was mortifying and he said “No. You were funny.” Ok, funny I can handle. I woke up at his place yesterday morning and felt pretty OK. No headache. No queasiness. Just tired. I think I have a problem. Haha.

Swearing In Update… June 30, 2008

1. My swearing in last Monday was amazing. I wore what I refer to as my FBI suit (it’s a navy pants suit with a crisp white shirt) and was very close to the stage. There was a lot of anticipation because, much like everything else done in MA, they made us wait until all of the guests and family members were seated and then allowed us entry into the building. The ceremony was funny yet stoic at times. A lot of good things were said and it was great to see my father and his girlfriend looking on. My father presented me with my license (you may have 1 person present you w/ your license if you wish) and he was so proud. I loved it.

 

2. The first thing I did after seeing my father off was order business cards from one of those office supply stores. You know, the one with that stupid button? Anyway… I order the cards and pick them up. They are the cheapest things ever. I’m slightly annoyed. They cut some of them wrong so there’s white where there should be color or the borders don’t match up. I’m going to have to take the F’d up ones back and demand restitution. Yup. Restitution.

 

3. Dinner was fantastic! I borrowed a very cute dress from Fake Big Sis. She and Irish Teacher came to my place for a glass of champagne before we headed off. When we got there, Unofficial was just ordering a drink at the bar and my friend from high school and his girlfriend were just finishing up drinks. We sat at this fun half booth half chairs round table. Of course, I was next to Unofficial. Everyone got along soooo well. I was seriously the happiest I think I’ve been in a long time. Unofficial was very attentive to me and sweet and he got high reviews from everyone.

 

4. Unofficial came back to my place that night and I turned into quite the ass. I think I’m getting scared. Things are going really well and I feel myself falling. I feel like he’s more there w/ me than ever but there are moments where I freak myself out and wonder what will happen if he’s not and never is. I apologized for my behavior and we are fine. At least he is understanding…

Alive… June 27, 2008

I’m alive… and I will update soon. I promise. Quickly, all is well. I’ve just been real busy/tired. It’s been a long but good week. Again… I’ll give a real update soon. You can hold me to it!

Getting Sworn In, Celebration, Unofficial, Sweetness and Legs ;-) June 22, 2008

1. Tomorrow is my swearing in ceremony!!! By 12 pm I will officially be a licensed attorney in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts!!!

 

2. Speaking of tomorrow… I’m still working out the details for my celebration dinner. Unofficial will absolutely be there, as will Irish Teacher. my guy friend from high school (who I need to give a name for on here) and his girlfriend (needs a name too) will be in attendance. Finally, it’s possible that one of my very good friends from college and her fiancee (both in need of names as well) will be there. Fake Big Sis will be showing up for a cocktail (or two… or three), she claims that she won’t partake in dinner… we’ll see. Other people may meet up with us throughout the night… who knows. The problem? I have NO IDEA where we’re going. I’m trying to pick a place that I like, has a diverse menu and isn’t too expensive. UGH!! Hey you Bostonites: Any suggestions?

 

3. Unofficial and I are having a REALLY good week. I don’t want to jinx it but we are. Yesterday he was pretty insistent on getting to see me. It wasn’t in a needy way or anything, but he brought it up randomly and continued throughout both of our “work-shifts” until it happened. Haha. I got out of the restaurant pretty early so I came home, showered, went to his place and we got takeout sushi. He was really beat from a tough week at work and with this event he was working at, so he was kind of out of it. What was nice though, was that he still wanted me there with him. He could have easily just gone to bed but didn’t. Today he said that I should come by the event. When I was about to, I texted him and asked if I could bring he and his little brother (big-bro/big-sis) anything. They requested lunch, which was good because I was starving too. So, I brought them lunch and sat and ate with them. We then wandered around the event for a while.

 

4. My lovely non-boyfriend was very sweet today. As I was leaving, he said he would be thinking about me during the ceremony and that he’d see me tomorrow night. After I left the event he texted me “Thank you so much for coming by with lunch and beautiful smiles.” Later, I was having issues deciding on where dinner should be tomorrow night, and he texted me 3 choices. I asked about a couple of other places and said something about how I don’t want people to feel forced to spend a ton of money etc. His response to me: “It’s your day. Go where you want don’t worry about location or money.” He does sometimes make me swoon.

 

5. Fake Big Sis lent me a couple of dresses so that I can choose which one I want to wear tomorrow night. I’m bored with mine and want to look especially stunning. They’re all on the shorter side… yay legs!!

Babble Babble June 20, 2008

1. Yesterday I worked a double and it was insane. The day shift was kind of lame with only a few tables. One of my favorite regulars (who is helping me to network!!) came in and that was fun. At around 4, things took a turn. It was just me and the entire patio filled up (a party of 15, a party of 6, a couple 2 tops and a 4) AND I had a table of 5 and a few smaller tables inside!! HOLY CRAP! I was running my ass off until 10 pm when it started to slow. Needless to say, it was a great night. I loved it.

 

2. I have tonight off. Do you think Unofficial has tried to make plans?

 

3. This very second, I’m hungry. REALLY HUNGRY. I am also lazy. VERY LAZY. I am on the couch and still haven’t done a damned thing worth anything today. I can’t imagine anything in my fridge/freezer/pantry that I want right now. This means I would have to get myself moving and go to the store… but I’m lazy (as mentioned already). My choices are limited now… I went on PeaPod but they won’t deliver until tomorrow which does not help me at the moment. This is quite a predicament that I’m in…

 

4. I was gross last night and had a cigarette. It’s a rarity and only happens when I drink. I didn’t even have a craving but the two people I was with were both smoking so I wanted to as well. DUMB. I HATE waking up the day after I have a cigarette. AND I can’t run today that means, for the obvious reasons. Why do I do stupid stuff like that?

 

5. What should I do on my night off?
