I’d like to thank the AcademyPosted on February 23rd, 2010 @ 12:58 PM
I don’t normally (or I try not to) blog twice a day, but I didn’t want to wait to post this!
The Blogosphere has recognized my greatness and bestowed an award upon me. This award comes to me from Heart and Hairspray, one of my fellow LadyBloggers. Gaze upon it:
I’d like to thank Jesus, my momma, my manager, and the 238 people searching for blackberries that keep finding my blog. WTF, I have ONE post on my blackberry.
According to the rulez, I have to state 7 things that people might not know about me. And tag 7 people. Uh. Okay.
1. I never tag people. *eep* I know, I’m a rebel.
2. I am a military brat. I have lived in OK, TX, CA, SD, IN, WA and GA. Most of those places I lived before I turned 12. My father retired at Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane, WA. I left Spokane 15 years later and moved to Georgia by myself. Best thing I could have ever done.
3. I have been at my current job the longest I have ever been at a job… since 2004. Technically, it’s with a family of companies so while my job title has changed, I’ve worked with just about the same people for 6 years. Wow. I think I am an adult, or something.
4. I graduated with a degree in Interpersonal Communication Studies. That means I can ask, ‘would you like fries with that’ with a deep compassion, understanding, and deference to other cultural, gendered, or nationality or relational differences. I was supposed to be an English teacher. I got to college, looked at the main coursework for an Ed major, said “eff that, Comm Studies looks fun!” And it was. I loved loved loved Communication Studies. I wish I’d opted for a more specific track like Public Relations or Journalism. I could have, but with IP you got to take all of the classes with none of the Internships. I regret not doing an internship.
5. I minored in Teaching English as Second or Foreign Language, spurred by my experience with a Japanese roomate my freshman year and working with English Language programs at my University. While I excelled in it, my ego was trampled upon when I applied to work abroad and didn’t get the job. All my co-workers did, though. I pretty much figured I sucked at it, and decided I didn’t want to teach. Because being an Executive Assistant is so where it’s at, ya’ll. :|
6. Watashi wa nihongo ga sukoshi dake hanashimasu. Translation: I speak a little Japanese. I took a year of it in college. Got a 4.0. I’ve always loved languages- I took 3 years of Spanish in high school. Sometimes when I watch Telemundo, I can almost understand what’s going on. When I go to the Dominican salon to get my hair done, sometimes I eavesdrop. I’m nowhere near bi-lingual or multi-lingual but being curious about other languages has come in very handy. And I can also say, excuse me, which direction is the bathroom (Ano sumimasen ga. Oteari wa dochira desuka?), which, you know… is a phrase people should really learn in any language Ah, I miss Japanese.
7. Man, that elusive number 7. It should be a good one… let me think, let me thiiiiinnnnkkkk. I have no idea. Uhm. I like underripe bananas? Especially if they’re really cold. I don’t know, people! The pressure. I buckled.
So like I said, I normally don’t tag people, let alone 7 of them, but I think Tex and Green Eyes and Becky would actually do it. SO DO IT. And link back! YAY.
*curtsy*

Welcome to the Diary of Curvy Jones. I like to think of myself as like Bridget Jones, only not as well put together. Join me on my semi-daily, sometimes funny, always sarcastic, lazy stroll through the adventures of single girl in the city.
