My Two Cents about the Colon

As someone who has been around (e:strip) almost since its inception I just wanted to add my two cents about the colon. I definetely think it is a necessary part of the name. It just is like something that has been here all along and really the (e:) is almost a symbol for the site all on its own. I definetley prefer it being in the logo and the bumper stickers. It also forces the pronunciation of (e:) strip. Otherwise people could read it as estrip like how you would pronounce estate or estrace or estrogen and estrip would make no sense. So I think the colon must stay. I don't love the final design(the org seems unnecessary and makes things no clearer I blieve) but I do and always will love the colon.

E:strip Bumper Stickers Fries and Da Dip

So I gave up french frie and potato chips for letn and boy am i missing them right about now. I want some TC Jr's french fries with blue cheese so bad right now. Just one more week to go, I can't wait!!! Though I have saved so much money because without french fries I don't' even feel like ordering food anymore and so I have eaten out a lot less. SO that is good I guess.

Do you remember the song Da Dip from like mayb e8 years ago. IT went soemthing like You put yoru hand up on my hip when I dip , you did, we dip. I think it had something to do with Georgia Peaches too or something. Anyway it was a great song and my friend Drea lvoed it and I haven't talkeds to her in way to long , like since christams.

More importantly: Bumper Stickers! I am in charge of them and I want feedback on what design everyone likes best and how you feel about stickers vs. magnetic ones. ALso any ideas of local places where they can be made. THere are plenty of online sites but we rather use a local place if feasible. Plus,. don't forget to send in your donations, to fund this new (e:strip) endeavor!!1

Overheard in New York

I am reading a book called Overheard in New York which just has all these snipets of conversations that the author has overheard in new york city. It is hilarious. As a people watcher/conversation listener, I love it. Here are a couple funny examples I think:

A woman on a cell phone:
uh huh....yeah....yeah..uh huh...the one you thought was underwear...yeah...uh huh

In an elevator:
Record company slave: Good morning!
Record Company owner: You okay? I mean..you weren't here yesterday.
slave: yeah, i know..my girlfriend's cousin died in a car accident over the weekend and-
owner: You got a girlfriend, really?

An office in midtownn:
employee: I bring my beer in the shower with me and I put it on the ledge so it doesn't get wet. Sometimes I also have a couple of shots in the kitchen.

in an elevator:
girl #1: Oh my God! I was so drunk this weekend, and now my legs are coverd in bruises. theylook terrible, you have no idea. I don't evne know how I got them.
girl #2: Ha-ha! I love when thatphappens. I love drunk bruises!

Guy#1: She stuck her lollipop in my mouth! nd she has herpes! ((e:lilho) remind you of a certain night at hardware?)
Guy #2: She has herpes?

in a post office on cell phone:
gay man on cell: ...and we don't want any fat German ladies in the house.

Girl: oh my god! And then all you'd have to do is puke on her and we'd all be even.

Ok so they didn't seem as funny them retyping them, but reading the book is fun. These were just some ones I found real quick, I will try and mark them as I read along in the rest of the book.
Girl: Well, everyone has herpes

No Raise for the Wicked

So according to Eckerd I have gotten too many raises and so I do not get my yearly raise I was supposed to get in February. Um I make $9.00 an hour after 6 years, doing everything they have ever asked. Leading their whole Medicare Outreach program and what not. Like my district manager and everyone thinks I should get it and are fighting wiht corporate right now but how ridiculous. A new hire starts at like 7.50 I think now so I am 1.50 ahead of someone with no skills after 6 years....how ridiculous. If they don't give me this raise I need to get back at them bad...and not in just a quit at a bad time kinda way...something worse...i have a few ideas...any have suggestions?

Do You Wanna Hang Out

"do you wanna hang out?" 5 simple words. Seems simple enough. It's not like I am asking for marriage just to hang out. Yet can i say them...alas the answer is no. I can call, I can chat, but can I say "do you wanna hang out?" , I guess I cannot!

Tonight some country line dancing with the crew followed by a short day at work tomorow and doing some deliveries where I get some tips which is nice. Then Jill's birthday dinner and going out tomorrow night and Matt's birthday on Saturdya. And then the St. Patty's Day Parade and all that entails on Sunday. YES WHAT A GREAT WEEK!!!

Gullible and Timing

Wow! I am so gullible and should never be on a jury. I honesly could believe anything someone is trying to convince me of. I watched some like 20/20 or Dateline or Larry King or something speical about this guy who supposedly had murdered his wife in like the 70's. Anyway, while he was talking I was so convinced he was innocent and could not believe he was so wrongly convicted like it actually made me upset he was in jial for something he didn't do. Then the victim's brother was on talking and i was like on wow the guy in jail totally did do it, I can't believe he tricked me. I can honestly be swayed to believe anything..seriusly try it out sometime and see if you can convnice me of something completely ridiculous and then later on of a compelety opposite ridiculous thing.

I think sometimes I am bad at making new friends because I am so unwilling to give up on my old firneds for even a minute. LIke only if nothing is happening with them will I be willing to hang out with a new person no matter how much I want to just cuz I feel like that is how it always was. Like I can't imagine saying no to hanging out with them for someone else. I should work on that. I am trying to change that...hopefully it will work.
