Damn Europeans.

Listening To : Undisclosed Desires - Muse (kinda a weird song, to be honest.)

Two things.

Today, I called this awesome tile company at my internship. This was the conversation.


"Joe speaking."
"Hi! Could you please transfer me to whoever handles distributing product binders?"
"Well. I guess that's me, isn't it. What can I do for ya?"
"I am Alyssa, with __________, and we have an old ___________ Architectual Manual binder, and I was simply requesting an updated copy?"
"Oh! The binders! Well lets see. I don't know if I have anything new to give you. But you could take out ________, we don't work with them anymore."
"Alright..."
"They were just too unreliable! Damn Europeans, you just can't count on them, and it's not like we could just go over there and shake them around a bit!"
"Well no, they're way too far away!"
"EXACTLY. -laughs- And definitely not in the middle of a job -- I can't just announce to a client I'll be gone for a week-long European-ass-kicking trip."
"-laughs- That would seem highly unprofessional."
"Yes. Well, thank you for the call!"
"Thank you! Have a nice day."


So there ya go. That's what I spend my day doing.
That, and without fail misunderstanding "Where are you from?" questions.
When they want the city, I give them the name of the firm. When they want the firm, I give them the city (the second is more common...).
I call myself the librarian, and feel very official.


Second thing.
I'm thinking of getting a chinchilla.
Which is kind of stupid, because I am leaving for college in a year, but whatever. I could figure something out, and then maybe bring it to the East Coast at some point...?
I have no idea, really. But whatever. Chinchillas are adorable, thank you very much. ♥




Meanwhile back at the ranch...
I'm like, having all these second thoughts about going into architecture, because it's all complicated and stuff. And a lot of work. And a lot of time. BUT WHATEVER.
I'm just lazy, and don't want to apply to college. It's going to take for freaking ever, and I'm not too excited about that. Especially since I am like, 10 pieces behind on my stupid portfolio. STUPID PORTFOLIO. 
I wish I was in an art class or something, so my artistic ventures didn't depend completely upon my determination to draw a bunch of random crap for (pretty much) NO reason.


Life is good.


But really, it is. 
I'm just sick of summer.
I WANT TO BE IN SCHOOL.
Shoot me, but it's true.

Oh yum!

On my other blog (which you should check out), I practiced food blogging.
I made rice krispie treats! They're amazing, too. So tasty.

So go check it out.

(my new blog needs people to read it. so hey, read it.)

A Little Help?

So I've got a predicament.
I kind of want to graduate my blog into something slightly more intelligent, and...
Okay that is a total lie. My blog will never be anything close to intelligent, and I suggest you realize this now (if you've been too dense to do so already) and never look back.

The real issue is I want to "open a new chapter of my life", and not have 200 blog posts about absolutely nothing of any importance anymore (then again, none of this is important, once again).
Because I don't like to be able to go back into the archives and read about all of the stupid drama I submitted myself to.

Is it possible to like, back up archives? Or hide them? OR SOMETHING?!


Also I drew a really cool drawing, but I'm not letting you see it until I get a better scan, because the current one makes a really cool drawing exceptionally crappy.
Bummer.

Hi.

edit.
SNAP AND A HALF THIS IS POST 200.
I can't decide if that is a) awesome, or b) a new level of dorkiness.
TWO HUNDREDDDDD.
/edit.

I'm really bad at blogging.
I'd like to share that with you right now.

Don't hate me!

Uhm uhm uhm things I could say.

1. I have an architecture internship on Wednesday, and I'm scared out of my mind!
I've been told that nervousness is good energy entering my body (which I need to remember!), but it's still scary.

2. My cat is licking himself next to me! It's so raunchy!

3. I'm one month away from senior year, and I'm really excited because summer is REALLY boring.

4. I went to New York City! It was amazing. And big. And hot.
But mostly amazing.

5. My very first cousin to get married got MARRIED. In NEW JERSEY. IT WAS SO AWESOME.

6. I'm sick. ):

7. I love love love to knit. Seriously!

8. I want to move out of my house, but it's really inconvenient, and so that kind of sucks.

9. I just right now remembered I'm supposed to be working on my application portfolio this summer.
I haven't like, at all. And I need to have 15 things in it or something. This really sucks. I should probably draw...

10. But I won't draw, because I'm going to get distracted by knitting!
I'm knitting a shirt!

11. It is also August, so that means I could be working on college apps. But I'm not. Again.

12. I have been really unmotivated this summer to do much of anything.

13. My boyfriend cleaned my room because it was too overwhelming. But it is amazing, and I love it. And him. Yeah. (:

...

I think I'm going to go draw. This is seriously concerning me a little bit.
