Brangelina

Wow, so, I'm working on this proposal for (don't laugh)... Brad and Angelina. I kid you not. And I don't think I should go on about the details here. I thought it was pretty far-fetched and ridiculous when this was first assigned to me...

But the more online research I do, and collaborating with my graphic designer friend, and laying out the components of this proposal... the more I'm shocked that this may actually be an awesome idea... especially from a business perspective. Wow.

I can't believe I'm getting paid to research Brangelina. lol And Starbucks and the United Nations and the ONE Campaign and so many other cool things.

In other news, I went to lunch with this lady who is a "relocation transition coach." (It was for networking purposes, I suppose...) She was very Mom-ish in a way... well, she is a trained counselor, and it really shows. She listens well, but she also talks very well - slowly, and clearly, and unapologetically... without any nervousness at all. It just really put me at ease talking with her. No that's not necessarily what I want to say... hmmm. It made me realize how some people are so gifted in that relationship-nurturing way. I want to be that kind of person. Lately I feel like I've been super hurried in everything... I can't slow down to read or have a conversation very well. And I love being oblivious to time like that. So hopefully it can be regained.

Well, actually, I'm giving myself a hard time. I mean we had a fun and relaxed time last night. Okay so I guess I am just spastic at times (rather than all the time). Cool. I can handle spastic from time to time.

You always seem rushed when we talk. But I know you are rushed and i don't mind. You have a nervous energy as if you will offend me or hurt my feelings. That is very considerate. I think you put more into relationships than you give yourself credit

i don't know what to make of this comment. are you being serious? do i really have a nervous energy? i sort of am a nervous person (SOMEtimes) and i'm not sure why! when i know someone really well i'm soooooooooooo unnnnnnn-nervous.

but then again maybe your whole thing was sarcastic. HMMMM.
