Because Tiffany said so.

I'm posting because Tiffany said so.
See:

hello lady.

did you quit your job yet?
if not, you need to post something else on your blog because i keep getting pissed everytime
i see that entry.

and, you know, it really is all about me.

right?

Okay so she didn't give me permission to post this private email message from her, but I think it's funny so I did anyway. See, that's what happens when you chat or email with me??

Everything you say could be blogged when I have nothing else to talk about.

Oh, I applied for a few jobs and Corey helped me update my resume. It's all sparkly and beautiful now... If you saw my resume now you'd think I deserved a good job!

You'd say, "DAAAYUM, that bitch needs hirin' up in here." Except you'd say it more professional-like because you are a business man or lady.

And I'll be working on my online portfolio tonight. I'm hoping I can finish it this week. I can't wait til it's up.

In other news... there isn't any other news. Thank you.

Here's a random chatlog with Nadine from a while back:

jen: how's Emma? [nadine's daughter]

11:01 AM nadine: good, watching seseame street

jen: sweet.

jen: done anything cute lately? besides everything.

11:03 AM nadine: well she found some bird poop on her swing outside this morning and then tried to get it off with her fingers

nadine: it was gross

jen: eww. i said cute, nadine.

nadine: then went inside and started eating a cookie before i could ge her hands washed

nadine: it was dried, thank god

jen: I SAID CUTE!

nadine: it WAS cute

jen: oh man. a mother's love.

Yeah. That's what motherhood does to you. Anyway. How's that for a post!?

Oh, the crazy things we say.

Just to clarify, the lady we're talking about really is a bitch:

Nadine: so i go ask her if it was hers and she goes "oh my god where did you find it?" and i was like it was in the toilet paper dispenser

1:59 PM Jen: lol

Nadine: and then she goes "oh my god i didn't even know it was missing, its worth thousands and my husband would have killed me, i guess i owe you big time."

Jen: yeah, how about a GET OUTTA BITCH FREE CARD?

Nadine: LOL

Nadine: HA HA HA Nadine: SERIOUSLY!

I think she says it just to get me to shut up:

Jen: he said that he's even happier now than when we first starting dating, isn't that sweet?

Jen: he is the best Nadine: aww

3:57 PM Nadine: that's cheesy Nadine: have to poop brb.

Nadine: I THINK LOST WOULD MAKE A BETTER MOVIE THAN SHOW

Jen: well i just wish they'd explain things

10:44 AM Jen: i dunno, it's the laws of nature.

10:45 AM Jen: because hot guys are too busy thinking about how hot they are too notice you.Jen: sometimes they pass by mirrors and accidentally hit on themselves. Jen: but that's about as close to hitting on anyone as they get. Jen: here, i will make you a flowchart to illustrate my point.

10:48 AM Nadine: A FLOW CHART

Nadine: I WANNA SEE THIS

(click image to enlarge.)

I should probably do a chicks one too, to be fair.

Argument with the new Blogger.

Jen: I thought you weren't Beta anymore, Blogger.
Blogger: I'm not.
Jen: Are you sure?
Blogger: Of course I'm sure. I even changed my logo to prove it.
Jen: Cuz ya know... some days it seems like you're not even trying to work correctly.
Blogger: Dude, really. I'm not Beta anymore.
Jen: You really could've fooled me.
Blogger: Look, I always try and tell you in advance when I decide to crap out for a couple hours, right in the exact time-frame that you actually have a free moment to write.
Jen: Your little last-minute "advance" notices mean nothing to me!
Blogger: Ya know what, I get enough complaints from blogs that are actually good, so why don't you just move your blog somewhere else!?
Jen: PLEASE DON'T BE MAD. I LOVE YOU.

Fugly colors attack my blog.

For a while here you'll be seeing some pretty awful colors. Maybe not even readable color schemes. Deal with it, okay?

The color changer thingie on Blogger is screwing with me. It won't save my changes more than half the time, so some really bad combos get saved when really I am only half done changing colors, or just trying something out. In case the blog is normal now, here's a bit of the horrors you have missed because you're not awesomely at my blog 24/6 (everyone needs a day off):



My poor, poor blog.


Also:

Nadine: I HAVE A CRUSH ON THE BLUE OCTOBER GUY ALL OF THE SUDDEN Nadine: HES MY HUNK OF BURNING LOVE CHUNK

11:05 AM Jen: he is almost a woman
Jen: or an owl

Fergie doesn't know how to spell.

10:00 AM Jen: So, how come Fergie doesn't know how to spell?

10:01 AM Nadine: HOW WOULD I KNOW?

Jen: First she calls her album "The Dutchess" when she's neither Dutch nor a Duchess. Now she spells "tasty" wrong multiple times in that song.

Nadine: tastey

Jen: If only I could be that illiterate and get away with it.

10:02 AM Jen: I wish spelling things wrong would make me piles of money.

Nadine: lol. me too, i'd be rech.

Jen: yes, we could both be writch.

Nadine: HA HA HA

Nadine: its ok though cause having a brain is COLL

Jen: tottallly coll

Nadine: T to da A to da S-T-E-Y, girl you tastey

Nadine: i thought thats how you spell tastey

Jen: no. it's tasty.

Jen: and Duchess is not spelled with a T

10:06 AM Nadine: well tasty looks wrong

Jen: it's not.

Jen: "tastey" looks wrong. because it is.

Nadine: maybe its a test, and the people who notice that stuff will all be murdered

Jen: maybe people who don't notice should be.

Jen: i think that would sufficiently weed out some of the tards.

Jen: He is an jerkhole, I hate him.

Nadine: what? who?

10:46 AM Jen: Mr. Country Ass didn't call me all weekend, like I have the black plague or something. I swear to god he keeps track of my period or something and just ignores me the entire time, every single time, just when I am most moodiest.

Jen: i will rip off his face if he calls me tomorrow when my period is over.

10:47 AM Nadine: did you try and call him?

Jen: yeah, on Friday night i called him before i went to your house

Jen: and i told him to call me. and he hasn't, for 3 days!!

Nadine: what the hell dude

10:48 AM Jen: he better hope he is dying somewhere. or completely lost function of his arms and hands so he can't pick up a damn phone to call me. and he also better hope that he's lost all speaking capabilities so that he can't ask someone else to call me.

Nadine: yea really

Jen: I'm talkin about a coma or complete amnesia here, these are the only acceptable excuses.Nadine: yeah, cuz that's bullsh-t

Jen: i am not in the mood for him.

Jen: and i don't have any money to buy ice cream. Nadine: yeah, seriously. that sucks.

149. Caused a car accident ... I lightly scraped bumpers with a lady because I didn't yield to her like I should have. It was literally my FIRST DAY driving my new car without an adult at age 16. I was all by myself, driving home from a guitar lesson. She was going straight at the light and I was turning left in front of her. She had the right away, but because she wasn't moving forward at all at first, I (stupidly) assumed she was waiting to turn without her turn-signal or that she had a red light. I started to turn left in front of her, and got most of the way in the lane when she started to go forward towards me. We both stopped completely and I realized that if I didn't finish going left I would be completely in her way anyway. But she was still creeping forward too, and I thought I had enough room to get by her (I have lame depth perception and also I was panicking), but instead I very slowly scraped our bumpers together as I finished my left turn. She got out and was screaming at me in another language and the only words she said in English weren't nice either... I was sobbing after a while of this, and she wouldn't even let me use her cell phone to call my mom. When the officer came to the scene he examined the "damage" to my teeny Ford Escort and to her gianormous SUV (there was some dirt/dust, and completely miniscule scratches) and he asked the lady to just let things go because there was not enough damage to warrant any kind of follow-up at all, but she insisted that I get a ticket for something. That was my one-and-only accident caused by me. Okay, I had to tell that story... moving on...
150. Saved someone’s life ... I helped save my dad's life around March 2006 by promptly calling an ambulance and keeping him from passing out by patting his face and talking to him. He had 2 blood clots that had travelled to his lungs (we found out later), and he could have died if we hadn't reacted so quickly. I only played that small part though, thank god, because the paramedics and firemen arrived within 3-4 minutes of my phone call (although it feels like an excruciatingly long time when someone you love is having an out-of-the-blue, unidentified attack right in front of your eyes). The firemen and paramedics took over from there and did an absolutely excellent job.
