To tid y'all over...

Check this post out, This Sh*t is Bananas over at She Walks. HILARIOUS, esp. to those DC folks who care about politics....the rest of the world could probably care less

She's a funny lady and a great writter, I suggest y'all check her out too. Read the Why Yes Cute Fireman, That *is* My Ass post that was a Best of... on Craigslist.


Enjoy!

and i'm back (well sorta)

After a 5 day "vacation" in the dirty south, I am back to lovely DC (and y'all know what I mean by "lovely")

however,

I will be in a mini hiatus from moi blog. I am in the middle of moving with a mother hanging around attempting to pack and clean for me all while moving into a temp. apartment that has internet but a computer without a working ethernet port....so posting will be tough and I'm actually working now at work so my post writing while on The Firm clock will be limited.


Until then, please be paitent. I will be back and am always reachable via email and I love me some email :)

(esp now that I check it regularly!)

Maybe I’m not like Mr. Cruise, but rather a 20 year frat guy

Really I am.

One might say, “C$ you are nothing like a 20 year frat guy. You’ve already graduated from college and are well past the age of 20. You have a real job. You have a real apartment, including furniture, matching sheets, framed art and matching bathroom towels. You do your own laundry. You volunteer and shape the minds of youngsters. You have renters insurance and pay all (ok, most ) of your bills on time. You are the picture of young adulthood.”

I, however, beg to differ. And below are 10 reasons why I am more like a frat guy than a 24 year old female young professional with goals, ambition and a future:

1. I binge drink (ok, a lot of 24 years are guilty of this, but almost every night of the week…?)
2. I oogle the opposite sex like it’s my job (on the metro, on the street, at work, in my neighborhood, you get the idea)
3. I have profiles on Myspace and Facebook (and mock those that don’t. Wanna be my friend? email me)
4. I’d much rather go to a sporting event than anything else (my google calendar already has the 2006-07 Caps home games listed; my birthday plans were changed because of World Cup finals)
5. I drink. A. Lot. (In fact, it’s been a while in which I’ve gone to something that doesn’t involve drinking. My friends and I planned a alcohol "diet": we allowed ourselves to drink twice Sun -Thurs and once Fri-Sat. It lasted for about as long as any other fad diet)
6. I’m really good friends with 3 others girls, others have called us a clique, I like to think of us as our own frat. (We don’t call ourselves the Clique, someone else called us that. But it was me who created the facebook group…)
7. Favorite bands: Dave Matthews Band, O.A.R., Virigina Coalition (all white frat boy “jam” music)
8. I have music posters on my walls (ok, they are framed, but still, signed music posters as decorations)
9. Just like frats have formal dances, I attend events that require some sort of outfit/costume under the guise of supporting said event, when in fact, it’s just a reason to get all gussied up and drink. In high heels.
10. I have pictures of sports teams in my cube at work (including but not limited to Matt Leinart, several (6) Washington Capitals, Chris Dyment and Mike Pandolfo (former BU hockey players) and the DC United schedule magnet.)

So there ya have it. What do you think I am?

Just call me Tom Cruise

Except for a few minor details, including but definitely not limited to:

Not male.
Not a Scientologist (crazy is implied).
Not married to Katie Holmes (see above)
Have not eaten a placenta (ew.)

However, I will be like Mr. Cruise in that I, your dear C$, will be behind the bar, serving up drinks for a good cause. And that's other than just trying to get my friends drunk. Here are the details:

When: Aug 8th 6-10 p.m.
Where: The Ugly Mug , Eastern Market
Who: Alumni from UCLA and Boston University
What: all tip $ will be given to Amidon Elementary (the school that both alumni clubs worked with for DC Cares)
Why: 'cause SW kindergarteners have "accidents" and need to wash their clothes every once in a while; you like to drink; you want to see C$ serve it up; you're a nice person

So come one, come all for a lovely evening. I'll be on at 6:30-7 pm, but fabulous BU and UCLA alum will be behind the bar all night....

um no....

You have one new text message from Greg:

I'm not the only one that got a booty text recently.

eh.

Birthday Plans

My birthday falls on a crappy day this year. Not only is it on a Sunday, but it's also the day of the last day of the World Cup and since my friends are sports freaks (myself included) that means my birthday is (to some extent) taking a backseat to the game on Sunday afternoon....

it's all good.

So, since they will be busy watching the game and since I could care about the two teams playing, I am taking a little road trip to Annapolis for the day in this:


anyone have any suggestions as to where to go, things NOT to miss while there? I waas there in April for Croquet, but didn't have much time to do anything else. Suggestions welcome :)
