snow got me out of jury duty! *High five!*

VERY long post about events to follow. Time to warm up and drink some cocoa.

Sun, 26 Nov 2006 01:02:13 GMT

Megan REALLY wants me to post to LJ...but I don't really have anything to say right now. Possibly later.

Mon, 14 Aug 2006 06:10:32 GMT

Best. Weekend. Ever. This post serves to remind me that I need to update about this weekend! Yay! Oh, and about work and stuff too. Everything is just going really well, I couldn't be happier!

oh, and about that last post: it dealt with a kinda random conversation that my mom and i had about people after high school, and from friends in the past and stuff and her friends from the past and high school and where everyone ended up and etc. Now, a few days later, I am not sure why I was so compelled to post that. Sorry boos!!

Fri, 11 Aug 2006 04:43:01 GMT

things aren't always what they seem like on the surface. Sometimes I wish people could see how things really are, and not just what they seem like. You might be surprised.

eep.

First and foremost, birthday love to Cuddly Joe!! :)

So... I haven't posted in 7 weeks. Wow, that's weird. Well, not that weird that I haven't posted... but weird how fast the last 7 weeks have gone. Very, very fast.

So, lets see... according to worm and a shamrock, i've been graduated for 1 month, 1 week, and 1 day. I got a job... I've had it for about a week now, but I don't start until the 31st. Lame. But my benefits do start on August 1... so I guess I can't complain too much. It seems like a really good place to work, with a lot of fun people (the average age is about 26 i'd say), and I also work with a former UO defensive line guy... yeah...

Wedding planning is going well. Brian and I have the place, the date, the colors, and the save the dates done. I have a lot of good ideas, so now it just comes to execution!! YAY!

Being all graduated is weird. And not in a good way. I've totally lost my erection for advertising, which is really dissapointing. I mean, I'd still love an awesome job at an agency, but it's really hard to be motivated to be creative right now. Hopefully it'll come back. Last week I went to my brother's orientation at OSU (gross, I know), and it REALLY made me wish I was in school right now. I think it would be totally awesome to go to grad school to become a University administrator of some sort (like work in admissions, or housing), but I just really don't think grad school is in the budget right now. It's actually kind of sad because I've wanted to do this off and on since my first senior year (lol), so that's probably the longest I've ever had a specific career goal other than when I wanted to be a verterinarian in middle school through about sophomore/junior year of high school. I just wish I didn't feel like I always had these obstacles in my way, or maybe I'm just pessimistic.

OMG NO MORE OF THAT. Tonight will be fun because I'm hangin' with Jessica and Ben! I haven't seen Jessica since like... last Wednesday, and that is really an eternity.

also: I miss Megan. :(

Sat, 03 Jun 2006 09:05:04 GMT

that's it. I definitely have sleep issues...

YES!

Tue, 30 May 2006 16:51:29 GMT

all my links worked, full bleeds were there, and all the fonts transfered over! Just have to fix one little low res pic and i'm done. Well... almost. :)

Ok, time to sleep forever (well, almost forever)!

Fri, 19 May 2006 07:01:40 GMT

I totally just SCREAMED at megan "happy birthday!" downstiars. She practically peed her pants! YES! :)

anyway, happy birthday megan!

vindication!

Thu, 11 May 2006 01:35:49 GMT

quick sidenote: I am eating the most delicious bagel ever with a yummy vegetable spread!

Anyway, after several weeks of pumping out so-so campaigns... i finally did something that made deb say "DAMN!"

I'm really excited. I was at a creative low for far too long.

Mon, 08 May 2006 16:10:30 GMT

I hate mondays! boo.

shakes fist

Thu, 04 May 2006 16:19:11 GMT

go away, guy!

YESSSssss!

Wed, 03 May 2006 02:13:40 GMT

I just thought I would let you all know that I *finally* got a new phone! YESsssss!! It's the motorolla razr and it pretty much rocks my face! So now, never fear, you'll actually be able to hear me on the phone, and my shit ass phone wont drop the call! I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna throw the old phone into a wall because I hat it so much! :)

I heart commercials!!

Tue, 02 May 2006 18:54:03 GMT

So, I'm a big nerd and like advertising/commercials anyway... but I found these to be particularly entertaining: http://www.apple.com/getamac/ads/?networking_medium I think my favorite is the iLife one. :) "Well, I have calculator.... clock...?"

Don't shoot the puppy!!

Wed, 26 Apr 2006 05:38:32 GMT

(seriously... why do I even post? :))

Tue, 25 Apr 2006 06:07:48 GMT

Today was probably the WORST day in a long long long time. So many things went wrong, it's rediculous! But, when I got home today, Megan totally made it better by going shopping with me and etc! Thanks BOO!

Oh, and we're totally gonna start our own podcast on iTunes. So... we'll update you as this situation develops further!

Note to self:

Mon, 24 Apr 2006 14:22:00 GMT

Waking up at 6AM after falling asleep somewhere around 2AM is not a good idea.
At least I have a ~~rockin'~~ EDIT: crappy campaign for today in copywriting :)

ok! off to school!

OMG YAY!

Mon, 24 Apr 2006 00:09:17 GMT

It is SO PRETTY outside!! I can't wait for people to stop occupying the chairs outside of starbucks so I can move me, and my computer out there.

I should be working on homework right now, but I thought I'd give a little update on things in general. It's all under the cut.

I'm too lazy to go through and chronologically explain everything, so we'll just section this shit off.

Mind
Omg, I can't wait for schoool to be over. Right now I'm taking 16 credits, which seems like too much for me having senioritis and just well, being me. Campaigns is going ok, although I'm kinda annoyed about stuff right now, agency account management is fun and I'm totally learning lots, Bio is meh, and Advanced Copywriting is kicking my ass. I need you all to help me though! Give me ideas of things that I can advertise... here's some parametors: Can't be local/regional, can't be known for its creative advertising, and also, can't be TOO big. Sorry, that's kinda vague... but any help would be awesome! Right now, I'm workin' on a campaign for Livejournal. So, we'll see how that goes!
Oh, and I graduate June 17 and have NO IDEA what I'm doing afterward. awesome.

Body
So, I got my MRI results back for my knee. Turns out that I kinda tore my MCL, got a very small tear of my ACL, and fractured my tibia... but since I was in that brace so flipping long, I just have to go to physical therapy twice a week, and don't need surgury! Yay! Although, physical therapy is the BANE of my existance! I'm trying to rebuild all my leg muscles, becuase being immobilized for 4 weeks tends to make them go away. Right now, my calves are doing ok, but I severly lack a hamstring. And those exercises are the hardest. My legs always hurt. It's pretty awesome. :) But don't worry, I'm actually doing pretty good. :)

Soul
Brian and I finally flipping got the date set for the wedding, and I'm pretty sure that I posted about that already. We're currently trying to find a place to live though... and that's getting hard on our very little budget. Brian really likes these apartments near Reed College, and I like this one place near 39th & Hawthorne. We'll just have to see. I feel really behind in all the wedding planning stuff though, and I just hope that things don't get messed up in the process. Wish me luck, I guess!
As far as everything else, things are going pretty well. I'm just stressed out about school, and live, and how soon graduation is, and the fact that i have NO JOB WHATSOEVER lined up, and people keep asking me about it... but other than that, whatev!

I suppose I should get back to work... my group will be here in about an hour an a half to work on stuff. fun.

this PSA, brought to you by my shitty cell phone

Sun, 23 Apr 2006 18:59:43 GMT

Just to let everyone know... I have the worst cell phone ever. So, basically, I drop calls all the time, and half the time I get such bad reception that I can't hear a word you say. I think I might be able to get a new one in May, and then I'll finally be able to hear all your beautiful voices! Till then... I'm sorry! :)

oh yeah! one more thing!

Fri, 21 Apr 2006 21:49:24 GMT

It's officially official!

Brian and I will be married on June 8, 2007 at Edgefield Mannor! yay!

Because I don't want to work on thumbnails! :)
