let this one slide
when the week is finally over the headaches and fatigue start to set it. while i'm going at the speed of light things seems fine. once i slow down i realize that this shit has got to stop.
friday i met up with prof barnet to talk about my job at y&r. he made me feel confident about the position and said it was really an amazing opportunity to be getting experience in intergrated communication strategy since it really is the wave of the future. i'll be very marketable. however, he did confirm that i'll probably get peanuts as a starting salary. aka 1500 euros net per month. i'm hoping i can up that to like 1700-1800 with maybe some free first class round trip tickets to home twice a year. creative right? that's what i'll have to do when it comes down to negotiating shit. that is..if nothing happens with google. i made progress with my cover letter. that shit needs to be perfect before it gets through to the google machine which weeds out unworthy candidates. i of course not being one of them! i also have my resume translated into french. progress progress.
stayed in last night with david, watched saw II then retired to the bed. despite him being the traditional, sometimes boring capricorn man that he is. he sometimes suprises me by always keeping things interesting. honestly, i think if that weren't the case we wouldn't still be together.
today i hung around his apartment and did some unnecessary shopping around town. i picked up some knives, a pair of boxers, and some food for him and for me a wooden spoon and a tank top. i managed to get some work done, and my cover letter like i said.
so here comes the strange part. a few weeks ago i met up with ahmed, a friend through decayenne who ironically is friends with people at school. we were only able to meet up briefly while he was in paris for the weekend but there was definitely a connection. or a good vibe shall we say. he's an aries, and i think it stemps from that. anyway, since then we've been religiously sending eachother messages everyday, writing about the goings on of our lives and being witty and funny. i think i've charmed him in that way--i'm too damn good at that. anyway, today was the first time we spoke on msn, in real time. we have a strange 'rapport' and immediately get carried away in a convo that is half humourous, a quarter serious, and a quarter flirtiness. not purposely though, it's just..kindof innate. anyway, we talked about a bunch of shit and this evening, he said something that kindof struck me although it was intended as a joke. or a bloody joke as he put it. in any case, i know that from an aries man, saying that we are meant to be, is something he will say to probably every woman. not to try to get in her pants, well maybe a little, but because he falls in love at first sight. something else he said. in any case, i'm a bit thrown of kilter here cause i've known that gemini and aries go so well together. i've never known an aries guy. his ex girlfriend, the only one that apparently made a difference and that he cared about, was a gemini as well. anyway, kindof bizarre and exciting. for what though? he lives in egypt and i have david. point. but for how long. there's google jobs in egypt, and around the world. i'd go anywhere for google. and for love..probably the same. alright i'm making this out to be wayyyyy more than it is. for sure.
i need to go to bed!!
