"Wellies...bout freakin time!"
So i've always wanted to get those obnoxiously eye-catching (either in a good way or a bad way, matters in your fashion style) rain boots...and YAY i finally got some!! WoO WhOo lets all celebrate! me and a coworker ordered them from target.com (HELLO $19.99...that's freakin awesome!) and got them shipped to the office (LOVE gettin packages especially from the cute guy, though he very well may be gay?...ha we'll find out eventually). i got them like 2 weeks ago, right before the 3 days of straight rain. it was AMAZING! i was so excited to wear them, i totally DOMINATED puddles!! i was purposely walking in puddles just cause i knew i could..haha. it took forever to pick which ones..but i think i made a good choice..ya wanna know why?? cause from the first day i wore them i got me some compliments "oh those are great boot!" "i love your boots" "those are soo cute!"...yeaah i know! ha. and if they didn't say they loved my boots, i caught they staring...i like to think staring out of "wow i wish i had that girl's boots" rather than "eww those boots are f'ing nasty" ha you decide for yourself...

"Get Over It, I'm Just Walking"
I'm walking down the street going to the subway, wearing my big ass fun retro like sunglasses...just tryin to get to the subway cause i feel like i'm running late. So through my sunglasses i see that 3 dudes are walking the opposite direction as i am on the sidewalk, which means i'm going to have to walk between them, and i see them lookin at me and i'm "ohh greeat here we" so finally we reach the point were we are close enough to hear each other and thus begins the stupidness "hey baby, hey sweetie,..yeaah you do that..shake it for me" when i hear this i'm thinkin "shut the hell up...i'm just WALKING..i'm not shakin anything for your stupid asses." but of course i don't say this..cause from past experiences i have learnt that these stupid ones loovvee gettin reactions and even love it when you talk back. sooo in response to their stupidness...i just have such a dead on, bitchy look on my face (plus the sunglasses just add to it) and i felt like they shivered a little with the icy look i shot them....but REALLY..i'm JUsT WALKIN..not tryin to impress anyone..especially stupidness.
"Just Keep Thinking 'Time and a Half'"
This whole past week i have stayed late at work due to this seminar we are having this wed. Basically in a nutshell, attorney's don't know how to work with powerpoint..ha. i had to redo every panelists' powerpoint for the books we're giving away. on top of that finalizing sings, banners, covers, cards and templates. it's been quite the busy week. i've been gettin home at like 9:30, 10 or just ended up staying at my bros. but like i said "just keep thinking 'time and a half'" my last pay checked sucked balls cause i didn't get paid for the week i went to the philippines, but i "feel as though" (haha) i made up for that week with my overtime..ha. at least i didn't have to come in on sunday!
"2:34am Babylon Line ='s SUCKS BALLS!"
Yup, i've def learnt something since i've moved back home....that comin back home from a night out in the city sucks cause i end up takin a late train with all the drunk asses that live within the cities/towns of woodside, jamaica, forest hills, kew gardesn, lynbrooke, rockville centre, baldwin, freeport, merrick, bellmore, wantagh, seaford, massapequa, massapequa park and etc. this friday ended up goin out after a late night at work and decided i need to go home since i crashed at my bro's place the night before (due to a late night at work). it's just a shit show really...but not as bad as the like 2:55 train which is THE LAST train of the weekend..and that's even worse!. but really...either way it's no fun..ha. people are throwing up, passing out, being violent, being loud, being annoying....i personally don't mind those that pass out..they are my favorite. not like i'm saying i've never been guilty of being quite drunk on the train..but i tend to keep to myself. buut noo others aren't like me....many like to try to talk to people/hit on people. such as friday night..i'm literally SLEEPING..i'm like dead on sleeping and i i wake up to a dude...who had the nerve to be liek "hey...hey you...hey you sleeping...wake up"...i'm like "oh heeelllll nooo" the kid would not give up...i'm like "yeaah i'm sleeping sorry" and just go back closing my eyes to hear an onlooker go "ohh dude she shot you down"...but yet the kid cont. to talk to me disturbing my sleep...and i just keep my eyes closed. this finally ends when we hit merrick to him saying good night to me....no more late trains please..thanks! ha
"Eww...I Feel Like a Man"
So i have this seminar on wed for work that i need to work and i felt as though i should look kinda professional since i'll be dealing with attorneys inside and outside of the firm. figured if i look more professional and less "fun and non tranditional dressed" they'll surpass me lookin like i'm 12 and take me seriously. so i went to go buy a suit. loehmann's is having a sale $199 for 2 suits (all name brand if that makes it better)..and i went there today to go shopping. soo i've never worn a real deal suit before...and i have no idea waht the hell it's really suppose to look like. but all i know is SNOOOOREEEE i don't like it! really...it's boring! ha. i'll give it to them though, the pants..they fit well (though i do lack an ass...but eh what can ya do)...the length and waist..PERFECT. then i put the jacket on and BOOOO it's not as fitted as i'm use to...so i truly feel like a man. i showed my family and apprently it looks fine and i'm just a big ho who likes her clothes to be fitted..haha. but eh wahtever...i got me 2 suits from loehmanns..and a fun snazy kinda suit thing from h&m..personally like the h&m one the most..has some flavor to it..ha...but yeah i'm a sucker..i got me a suit...booo ha..well i guess i had to do it eventually.... | | |
| WEEK IN REVIEWso...imma try something new...reviewing my past week in a lovely xanga entry ha..lets see how long this will last...

"Blast from the Past much"
"A Place of My Very Own"
"The World Does Not Revolve Around New York"
"Slight Post-College Depression"
"Second Times A Charm?"
---------------------------------
"Blast from the Past much"
okay soo lets just say a lot of people from the past popped up randomly all within like a few days from each other and i'm just confused haha. i feel like they all got together and said "HEY lets just randomly jump back into arlene's life, freak her out a little (good way or in a bad way either or ha), then peace out!" well my friends, you have achieved what you set out to do. it was just really weird timing i guess ha...but cool nonetheless, but really in reality more so weeeiiirrddd when thinking of all that went down as a collective whole...ha.
but all in all:
"congrats i'm happy for you, can't wait to see ya, could've never guessed, sorry if it was too soon, hope all is well, ya look good, i always thought ya did but oddly enough i was still surprised, good luck with that"
"A Place of My Very Own"
so after a week of apartment sitting at my bros place in manhattan...i CANNOT WAIT to freakin ship out and get my own place man! it was SOOO much fun! i def went out every night after work, though i regret one night (ahem Brother Jimmy's) it was pretty freakin amazing. though i know if did get my own place i wouldn't be playing that game, but it's just nice to have the option to i guess? and don't get me started with how much money i saved from not takin the freakin LIRR every day, twice a day PEAK. all one needs is an unlimited metro card and you're set. it was freakin pretty hot...and i totally could get use to wakin up at 8:15 instead of 6:15. that's another HUGE advantage....uuuggghhh soon enough...
i got my eye out for OF COURSE some where in manhattan, but really i wouldn't mind brooklyn. i'm talkin more so like 1 to 2 subway stops into brooklyn though...i do love me some williamsburg...i totally could see me living there...
"The World Does Not Revolve Around New York"
okay here i am babbling bout finding a place in NYC and blah blah blah...but secretly inside i'm like "DAMN...i wanna try living some where OTHER than new york...thanks!" like yeah, NY is cool and stuff, but i feel like it's all i know. i was born in ny, i grew up in ny, i went to school in ny, and now i even work in ny and probably will end up gettin my own place in ny and in reality i can picture myself ending up in ny in the long run. so when the hell do i get to see soemthing besides ny?? yeah i was SO LUCKY to get a chance to live in London, but that was for only like 5 months. i wanna try living some where new for like a few years! for some reason seattle and san fran always pop into my head. i haven't gone to san fran in a zillion years and i've never gone to seattle, but seriously for some reason those two places pop into my head. of course i like to dream bout london or some where in italy or australia buutt that's kinda a stretch. but in the end....i got my job (which i'm SOO happy about ha)...but it's here in new york...when will i ever leave??
i think the whole leaving NY goes with my need of seeing what else is out there (curiosity and traveling bug) and the constant need of "challenging" myself, to see if i could really hold my own w/o family or friends around to help me out. but yeah...i don't know man it seems like my world keeps on revolving around New York ha...
"Slight Post-College Depression"
sooo i soon realized that more and more people started appearing on my buddy list group "Fordham." and then it hit me..HOLY CRAP their asses all moved back in! now i constantly have TONS of sn's online under "Fordham" with aways messages and such..and i was liek "ddaammnn they are all back." not goina lie, it was kinda like a punch in the stomach that knocked the wind out of me...it was hard to take in the beginning, but soon enough i caught my breath again and was fine and content. but GOOD FOR YOU FORDHAM HEADS! hope you're all having fun! i do wanna see ya soon, but at the same time totally don't wanna be THAT alum that can't let go of college haha...and i know other alum tooottally know what i'm talkin about ha
"Second Times A Charm?"
does one write someone off after a first try? or do ya give them another chance to redeem themselves. ooorr is that messing with someone, cause that's not nice at all...questions to think about ha.
alrighty...that's pretty much all the highlights i came up with from the past weeks. umm i really don't see this flying well because it's just too long ha...bullet points and pictures are truly the best way to go haha but whatever, it helps me sort things out from the past week ha
| | |
| BREAKING NEWS...okay so started the job yesterday..and WHOA was i in for a surprise..here's highlights in bullet points so it's fast and easy to read (unlike my last long ass mother freakin entry..snoooree!, no pictures were even provided..yuck! ha)
- went in the conference room and it was full of coffee, tea, juice, water, pastries, bagels, fruit..ALL FOR ME..a welcome breakfast
- got my picture taken for my official badge and key card
- after makin rounds they said "okay i'll take you to your office now"...I HAVE AN OFFICE! and it's a BIG ONE!! with a HUGE WINDOW!!..i have a huge desk, a PC AND a mac, a black and white printer, a colored printer, two chairs and an art table...I KNOW!! it's crazy!
- on my desk there was a gift basket full of office supplies..soo cute
- my boss and the marketing coordinator (basically the whole marketing department, the three of us ha) went out for an AMAZING lunch..i got dessert!
- goina start desiging REAL DEAL STUFF
- and THEY ARE FLYING ME TO CHICAGO next week for 3 days!! (the art department is centered in chicago soo they want me to get to know them all)
who am i?!!...geez this is pretty crazy. i can tell some people think "aww arlene didn't get into magazine" but ya know what...this is pretty hot..and it's not all simple boring designs...i gotta be really creative for some events. soo WOW i can't believe this is my job! i was sitting at my desk today sketchin out ideas for stuff. i felt like i was doing grpahic design homework..but this time it's like REAL..haha..i don't know..but i hope i don't f' up! haha | | |
| And it begins . . . sooooo....for those that may have not heard the CRAZY news; I, Arlene Yinnie Butt, has landed herself a REAL JOB! yeah I KNOW...crazy shit huh! soo yeaah my ass is now a 9:30-5:30 Desktop Publishing assistant for a law firm in the upper east side. yes yes yes i said LAW FIRM, apprently they need designers to design stuff for them such as invitations, ads, news letter, brochures and etc.
sooo this is how it all went down...
i personally still remember finding the ad on craig's list and reading it and saying "ha i'm so not qualified but WHATEVER i'll send my shit to them anyways." then suprisingly enough they called me for an interview and i remember telling my friends the night before the interview "eh whatever i don't care, i'm not goina get it i'm soo not quaulified, doing it for practice." then surpisingly enough i get a second interview with the art director (via speaker phone..scariest hours of my life). theeen didn't hear from them till like 2 weeks with a "so we all really enjoyed meeting you and we'd like to offer you the job." yuuppp at that very moment i was pretty much freakin out inside.
this is what was going through my head...
I ACTUALLY GOT A JOB IN DESIGN!!! i'm ACTUALLY going to be doing what i WANT TO DO!! I"M DESIGNING..then it hit me...I SUCK AT DESIGN!! haha. i think they may have made a HUGE mistake!!! are they CRAZY!..i didn't even major in graphic design! i didn't even go to an art school..what the hell are they smoking?! i'm goina f' this whole thing up, i shouldn't tell anyone i got a job cause i'm probably going to get fired!
theen i pretty much tried really hard not to throw up haha.
soo now it is the night before my first day at work. i picked out the power outfit, got my papers in order and i'm ready to go...well, not mentally ha. i'm pretty excited, but more nervous. i'm just really questioning my design abilities, but i remember someone telling me to just fake it..haha. act like i know what i'm doing all the time and just fake it....soo that's the back up plan faking it ha.
but besides the whole anxiety and such. it finally hit me that tomorrow i'm starting this whole new "life." okay sounds super dramatic and blah blah blah stop being dumb. buut really think about it. this isn't some summer, part time job. this is HOPEFULLY a job that i'll be doing for at least a year and hopefully more. and i can't compare it to school, cause it's nothing like it. i'll be working pretty much EVERY DAY, i won't have spring break to look forward to, winter break to bum around for a month or reading days to just hang out and seriously, there goes my summer vacations for life. never will i ever have THREE months off STRAIGHT to do whatever i pretty much feel like doing...i'm a slave to the man..ha. it's just kind of a crazy concept to accept. i'm supposably an "adult" hahaha crazy thought i know! but yeaaah man, this is a totally "new chapter in my life" (hi biggest cliche in the world), buut it's true. ohh geez ha
i hope i don't sound like i'm complaining cause come on i've been scared crap-less that i wouldn't find a job and i would never design and get paid for it ha...and look! i landed me a design job..sooo this is a good thing! i'm just scared i won't be able to cut it, but i guess you can't think like that. i just need to gas myself up ha. I CAN DO THIS GOSH DARN IT!!!
but alrighty i should peace out. i gotta get up at like 6:15 pretty much every day and dress up in some snazy corporate clothing (I KNOW!!..ME..corporate?!! what the hell is that!!...i don't know how to NOT wear jeans to work..ugh!)...ha. but alrighty this should be interesting...ugggghhh...but nooo I CAN DO THIS!!..ha.
thus begins the "adult" part of my life...adult?? yucky! ha | | |
