Celebrity

I feel like I should comment on this whole exodus to ProseBox thing.

Websites ALWAYS have issues, no matter what website you’re talking about. It’s the nature of the beast. There will be issues from time to time.

I don’t think the issues we had recently are out of the normal, and it was a fleeting circumstance. Everything works fine (for me) now and I feel absolutely no need to switch sites.

I’ve written in OD for 11 (11!!!!) years and I don’t think I could switch to another site. If OD goes down, I go down with it.

Obviously I will miss my buddies, some of whom I’ve known for, like, EVER, but most of ya’ll I am friends with on Facebook.

For anyone I am not connected with, please email me! rjburris@gmail.com. I will add you to my FB and we can be friends 4 lyfe. Maybe. 🙂

 

 

Enough of that!

 

 

My birthday week has been great. SO BUSY. SO. BUSY.

I have been a complete brat for some of it, and bless Paco for being such a strong support for me. And not leaving me because I’m a spoiled emotional brat.

He has really made this birthday a special one, and I feel completely undeserving.

Remember a few weeks ago when I was all "my emotional bank account is empty" and I had that serious convo with Paco about it?

It’s like a rubber band, I am completely over-the-top rich in my emotional bank account now. Everything is great.

I feel inadequate though… I wish there was something super special I could do for him.

 

The truth is, though, we’ve spent every single afternoon/day together for a week and a half without any "solo nights" and I know it’s wearing on both of us. Mostly because those days have been nothing but nonstop social activity and family stuff and more social activity.

I decided today that I’m skipping our pick-up kickball game tonight in favor of chilling the fuck out at home by myself.

I’ll stop at the store on the way home and get some healthy dinner food, probably make a stir-fry, maybe rent a movie from the Red Box, and just chill.

That sounds so awesome. Seriously.

 

I have eaten so much god damn food in the last week. I’ve eaten out for at LEAST one meal a day for the past 5 days. Ugh. It’s a good thing I was uber healthy going into this week so it won’t be that hard to get back to being uber healthy afterwards… but damn. I’m gonna have to kick it into high gear in order to feel great before Mexico in October.

It’s like 50 days away!

So excited!

 

Work has been super chill recently. My boss and I are getting along really well. I feel much more myself around him, and much more comfortable in my role.

There are some really big stuffs coming up for me at work, though… some really big accounting shifts and changes and I’m slightly nervous but also excited to get this shit done.

 

Plus…. we are planning a boat party on September 6th for us, a few intern alumns, and two of our clients that I absolutely love. They’re hilarious and fun and funny and I can’t wait to hang out with them and all my little intern buddies!

Also, our most legendary and famous snowboarder client is coming into town today, so I may get to meet him if he’s able to come into the office.

It’s slightly difficult to not get flustered around these athletes… I see their instagram followers’ comments and people are OBSESSED with them.

Celebrity is a weird fucking thing, man.

 

I watched the Ashton Kutcher Teen Choice acceptance speech that everyone is kicking around the internet and I honestly don’t see what makes it viral-worthy. I feel like I could’ve given that speech. Big whoop.

Is it because he went from telling people they’re Punk’d to playing Steve Jobs and having an invisible platform to stand on? 

I don’t get it.

 

Thanks to all who wished me a happy birthday on the FB or on OD! Ya’ll light up my life.
