Can we work it out, can we be a family? I promise I'll be better, I'll do anything...In our family portrait, we look pretty happy. Let's play pretend and act like it comes naturally. In our family portrait we look pretty happy, we look pretty normal, let's go back to that.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the story of my life at home, that song. I've been playing it on loop. Maybe someone will hear it and do something about it.

HOWEVER

This has been one fabulous Friday the 13th. To make a long story short- today I had to shortest interview ever to get an internship, and within the half hour, nailed it. In fact, they asked me immediately when I could start working, for fear of some other advertising firm getting me first. That makes me feel SO excited, considering this is a great firm: Austin-based and local, but with big-name clients like Dell, Wal-Mart, 3M, Subway, Fuddruckers, Baylor Univeristy, and more. They- Kolar Advertising- (http://www.rjkolar.com/) will be my new home from May 22- July 22nd. And to top the cake's amazing icing layers, the Vice President of the agency said they'd love for me to work during the next school year, too, and I haven't even started yet, goodness! What if I was a complete failure? But they seem to have confidence in me, which is great. And it's a paid internship. And they usually only take juniors, at the youngest.

So, I'm kind of ecstatic right now. Kind of being very. :)

//edit OMG HAN, I was going through my old journal and found this, dated 6/23/04:
"So we went to the mall yesterday because we wanted to pick up some guys while Hannah's in town, because it's, like, the COOL thing to do. So we met this guy in front of Cinnabon...his name was Dave Rogers. But, his nickname is JARVE. He was so suave, a real hit with the ladies- (us)- until that jerk LEFT US for some blonde girls in miniskirts in front of Abercrombie. JARVE, YOU JERK! Anyway...


Later that evening, "after we got home", and after we got over our traumatic jarve experience, we played- and by we, I mean Han, Evey and I- a long game of scrabble. During this process, we included two new words! SHOEFLA and YUGOSOVQ. They're both new dance moves, but the YUGOSOVQ is the most intruiging one.


We also made sundaes, and told mean Jarve stories. We've decided his name is synonymous for jerk. For instance, if someone bothers you, you can just say: "WHAT A JARVE!".
