I got a job!

Woo hoo! I am now a marketing associate at a circulation company called ProCirc. Basically, they do the marketing for magazines all over the country. I'll be working on 4 specific pubs with my boss, Lee. She seems pretty laid back and like she could be a good mentor. So excited! They gave me the salary I wanted with benefits and 401K after 90 days. More info as it comes!

Nicky and Liz drive this bus to blue town!



Hey Florida, North Carolina and Virginia residents-- get out there!!  We NEED you!!!

Liz or Nicky- if either of you is volunteering for the Obama camp and needs help going door to door or whatever let me know and I can try to come help.

Also Abbers, I'm sorry to hear what you're going through right now with Andrew... If you want to come take refuge in DC and get drunk and eat ice cream, get on a bus gus!  I can imagine it might be hard to be around him right now, perhaps you should encourage him to move to Ohio and register to vote as soon as possible.

Abby update

Hola Fellas (it has a feminine ending, I swear),
Happy birthdays!! We've got us, what, two more 25s?
Erica, how old are you now, 21? HAHAHAHAHHA. I love you.
Here's a nice picture Andrew took of me this past weekend in the garden.

Notice that the carrot I harvested is white. They are all coming up albino. What the heck?
In related news, he and I broke up shortly after it was taken. Well, a few days after. On Tuesday night. We just kept having the same fights and neither of us felt willing to modify who we are to accommodate the other. I still want to be with him, and there are no hard feelings, but I'm just not willing to be in a position where I don't feel the same level of appreciation and respect that I put out there. And to him, I'm too hard to trust/too much of a flirt and unapologetic about it. I mean, I'm not saying that those things aren't true, but to him they fall near "dealbreaker" on the spectrum of relationship annoyances. Anyway, I don't think he's very happy right now, and that, I believe, is really the biggest factor underlying the discontent.
Speaking of ex-boyfriends, Jiban contacted me! Strange. I'm glad, though. It's nice to talk to him when he's not saying crazy things at 4 am, drunk on my parent's doorstep. I guess he and Doria were living together but broke up and moved apart. She has a different guy in her facebook picture now, anyway.
What else? I just ate a ton of ABC homefries left over from earlier today at the cafe. I hope I don't feel sick to my stomach in about five minutes.
