BE BACK IN 7 DAYSHow much does it suck that I think I got the stomach flu yesterday and I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow morning!? Ugh. I think the lack of sleep has caught up to me.
I went to an interactive advertising agency party for Cinco de Mayo, that DJ Camilo was spinning at. It was definitely a good time. Then last night I went to the Jay-Z/Mary J. Blige concert at Madison Square Garden, because our reps got us tickets and took us. It was good, needless to say. But the guy in front of me was straight smoking weed for like 4 hours. I woke up in the middle of the night 3 times to throw up. Inhaling all that weed and no food in my stomach fcked me over, I think. And I felt like death this morning. But I did see the cute guy at work a few times haha. That made it a bit better. What didn't make it better is the VP of Client Services has been literally hovering over all of us. It's getting annoying. And not to mention how he asked me to print out 15 copies of this one deck they had to take the client to. He wanted me to kill a motherfckn forest! That deck was 44 slides long, and 15 copies??!! GEEZ.
There was a party at Tenjune tonight that I had planned on going to but when I didn't feel good this morning, I changed my mind. I should be in bed now since I need to wake up at 3am, to leave my house at 4am to get to the airport for my 6:30am flight. Unfortunately I didn't leave the office until around 8pm and got home at 9 because there was a lot going on, lot of things that needed to get done. I'll rest easier once the senior planner gets back on Monday.
Anyway I'm going to finish packing. I shall be back soon!

So, I had put in my aim status "Buffalo :)" on Friday and some people assumed I was in Buffalo. Needless to say, I wasn't. In all honestly, I was going to buy a plane ticket on Wednesday night to go up for the weekend but I was banking on getting a pass to the NFL upfront on Thursday night. When I got my pass, I didn't buy my plane ticket. Sorry but I passed up seeing some people that I'll see in a month to go see some NFL players instead. Wise choice on my part I think. I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned that I love football players, but I do. I don't intentionally seek them out, it just seems that the guys I'm attracted to play football - not necessarily on the school team but for fun or whatever - they play. Well, at the upfront I had met a few of the NY Giants! And can I say, Osi Umenyiora is fckn sexy in person! He's supposedly dating Selita Ebanks (the Victoria's Secret model), who broke off an engagement to Nick Cannon awhile back - nice upgrade on her part. But yeah so I met Umenyiora, Jacobs, Strahan, Toomer, Smith, Ross, and also Favre, Hasselback, Sanders, and Faulk. Then on Friday I went to a Fantasy Sports cocktail reception and saw Jacobs again, met Steven Jackson (St. Louis Rams), Ron Harper (former NBA player), and Tom Colicchio (from Top Chef). I also met Ray Rice, who was drafted in the 2nd round on Saturday to the Ravens. He's only 5'8 but he's a cutie. I should've gone to talk to some of the other guys but IDK it was weird. I had no idea who they were and I didn't want to be THAT girl that was talking to all the pro athletes there, since there were already not too many females there anyway. Oh well. Then after the Fantasy Sports reception I went home to get ready and went out. I didn't know I'd be creeped the hell out when I got home. I had went out that night to a club and it was blah. The DJ kept changing the songs after 1 verse and the music selection alone was ehhh. And there were no cute guys to top it off. I must've gotten home around 3am. I had just missed the bus so I walked. There were these 2 guys walking also and they started making conversation. One must've been in his 30's and the other guy looked like his nephew or cousin or something in his late teens. Whatever, I get paranoid late at night sometimes, so I said bye and turned the corner of my block across the street and didn't cross to my house until I was right in front of it and I checked to make sure they weren't following me. I turned on the alarm and everything when I got inside and after I locked the door behind me from the main floor to the basement before I walked down the stairs to my room, I saw a shadow run past the side door and then run back towards the street. And I swore I heard them try to open the window in my basement's kitchen, couldn't open it b/c it was locked, then run back. I was literally scared fckn SHITLESS. I think I stood at the stairs like OMG for a few minutes before I ran downstairs to my room. We also have bars on all of our windows but to SEE that shit freaked the hell out of me. I sat with a few lights turned on in complete silence to listen for any sounds. My phone was charging b/c I was low on battery but I kept it in the one spot where I had almost full service. I didn't go to bed until 5am and I kept the TV on and was trying to listen for whatever weird sounds I could until around 6am when my grandparents woke up. So I didn't actually get out of bed until 2pm Saturday b/c I didn't actually sleep until 6am. And now I refuse to go out late unless I get a ride home or something. I know it was just coincidence that I got home at that time and saw the shadow. I was creeped out at first b/c I thought it could've been the guys that were talking to me as we walked but he was hitting on me, asking me for my number and stuff. But it definitely made me not leave my house this weekend. On the upside to that, I finally finished coding my portfolio - seveneighteen.net!
Time is just flying by isn't it? Yesterday was the 6 month anniversary that I've been at my current job. It doesn't feel like 6 months. It definitely feels like I've been here shorter than that, but longer at the same time (b/c everyone I work with is so cool and we all get along real well). Well, hopefully that promotion will be coming soon as time goes on haha. I'm in charge of this campaign coming up so hopefully if I do well with it, it'll be a good look. In other news, I haven't done much. This week has been less crazy than the past month and I've been getting home around 7:30 while the sun is still out, as opposed to leaving the office at 10pm. Last week was the FUSE upfront, where Wyclef performed. It was a great time. Tomorrow is the BET upfront, and Friday is MTV. So hopefully these will be just as fun, although the MTV one is during the day? Awkward.
It just so happened also that recently, random people have been getting at me out of nowhere. I mean granted they're all people I know but I say random b/c they hit me up after we don't speak for months? So I think that they want something from me, and of course, I was right. This chick wants to ask me for advice on vacation tips. I said fck that shit and just bragged about my upcoming trips to Puerto Vallarta and cruise (Cozumel, Belize, and Honduras). Me and her also have bad history. Whatever. Another person was actually getting at me for business purposes, some freelance stuff I'm trying to do ... party flyer design basically so that was ok. But yeah I hate how people think it's cool to be strangers then hit you up months later like no time passed at all and ask you for shit. I don't play that shit. If you can't take a minute out of your day to IM/text/Facebook me asking how I'm doing, then I don't need to communicate with you, thanks!
Oh and I'm going to try to finish coding this site and add links and stuff.... or I guess try to figure out how to set up WP b/c Cutenews is blah.

Yay. So that didn't take me too long but I've coded the blog portion. If I didn't have a meeting at 9am tomorrow, I'd blog the rest of the site. I'm still not quite sure how much that will be.
Anyhoo, so some shit happened last night that really pissed me off. How you call yourself a designer and copy someone else's designs? This chick copied part of a flyer I had made for my birthday. click to be nosey.
I'm seriously counting down the days until Puerto Vallarta! I'm going there for vacation with 2 friends in May. In July, I'll be going on a cruise with family. And I'm trying to plan a cruise with a big ass group of friends in October. I already found 2 really good deals so I'll see if people will be down to go. I should be a travel agent on the side b/c I stay finding good deals LOL.
As for work, it's still busy even though the Tudors and State of the Union campaigns are over. I'm just working on a bunch of reports. I'm also going to be in charge of another campaign for the smaller account I work on. Hopefully if that goes well, I'll get promoted soon. It's only been 6 months that I've been at this company but it feels like so much longer.
