Sooo - has anyone noticed lately that PostSecret hasn’t updated their Secrets this week? I’m highly upset because that site is really cool and I enjoy viewing the secrets that are posted there on a weekly basis.

Anywho, so this past Friday was the Intern Cubs game! Now, I’m not really one for baseball at all, but even I have to admit, this game was pretty GREAT!

The Cubs were down 5 to 0 in the FIRST inning - everyone was ready to leave and/or get drunk at the bars before the first inning was even over. However, SOMEHOW, the Cubs won. You should have seen all of the adrenaline during the last inning of that game - it was ridiculous how many people were there!

Alright, let’s get started with the pictures!

This one is of the pitch pre-game. As you can see the stands aren’t that filled. Trust me, once the game started, it seemed like the whole stadium was at maximum capacity! People were sitting/standing everywhere!

Soooo - you want to see the type of people I hang out with? Featuring: Tyler and Stuart of Discover! (Stuart is in the background on the left, Tyler on the right)

Come to think of it, this is probably the best picture I’ve ever taken of Tyler that doesn’t involve him giving me an obscene face and/or gesture of sorts.

Another guy I hang out with alot - Zach is actually sitting two seats away from me in this picture - The person directly on the other side of me is Helen, my roommate (I need to get a picture of her and post it on here)

This is more of a “Before” and “After” picture of Zach. The “After” picture will come later - yes, this is a test.

I told Zach that he was looking like he was plotting world domination, so I told him to make his “I’m waiting for the iPhone to come out” (Yes, we had an HOURLY countdown of the iPhone premier the entire day). Sorry, Zach - you are still making your “I’m plotting world domination” face!

This is the post-game picture. I actually held my camera up as high as it would go and snapped a photo. Yes, that’s a street light there, and yes, it’s a parade of people celebrating the Cubs win! Now do you see how crowded it was?

And this guy definitely is not drunk, nor does he have my camera. Okay, those are both LIES. This is on the bus ride back to Discover. He took my camera and was like “Ooooo let’s take pictures!”

The following is the result and documentation of said camera event:

And I quote Brian (The guy in the first picture taking all of these pictures): “Jillian your camera takes really good pictures!”

Wow I need to write more - so many things and so little time. If you really want to know what is going on in my life you already know or you need to call me in the next 10 seconds.

Anywho - so today there is an “Intern Outing” at the Cubs game at Wrigley field in downtown Chicago. Then on Saturday some of the interns are going to downtown for the Taste of Chicago! So stay tuned for pictury-goodness coming to a theatre near you. And this blog!

God I’m fat.

I was reading about how transitions are in books and novels, and how people naturally do them when they are speaking or writing a blog entry. When it comes to a paper, however, people usually have to think for about 3 days before a transition comes to them.

Interesting.

Did you know that Odontophobia is the fear of teeth? See, I’m getting better at transitions already. I actually find that not doing transitions makes the reading, well, funnier.

The most money ever paid for a cow in an auction was 1.3 million dollars! Wow that’s a lot of cash that no one should ever paid for a cow, unless they were to sacrifice the 1.3 million-dollar cow to say, a really good steak-house. Speaking of sunscreen, I haven’t told you all about my little “problem”, have I?

Over this past weekend (Sunday, to be exact), I laid out by the pool for about three hours. Swimming, tanning, swimming, etc - and it was an overcast day! Anyways I woke up on Monday, and boy was I burnt!

Over the next few days I just took Advil to get rid of the pain, which wasn’t so bad. Then, on Tuesday, Joanette and I decide to go to the Health/Fitness Center where we get free passes to by living in the apartments that Discover provides for us.

Sweating + Sunburn = BAD

After running a lot, we decide to go back to the apartments. At first when I got done working out I said “My sunburn is starting to itch…”. By the time I got to the car to drive back to the apartments, I was itching up a storm!

Boy I could go for some lobster right now. Did you know that 1 in 5,000 north Atlantic lobsters are born bright blue?

Anyways, Joanette and I made an emergency stop at the Dominicks on the way home, and at this moment in time I just could not stop scratching. The pharmacist gave me some of this spray-stuff, and after I got home and took a shower, I sprayed that crap all over me for like 10 minutes.

Aerosol is BAD for you, by the way. Boy was I choking and gagging - genius!

However, the itching was gone!

It was a really tiny can, so I figured I should buy some other things to try and get my itching down to a minimum level. After buying a bunch of lotions (none of them worked) - I finally bought some Benadryl anti-itch cream made for poison-ivy and sumac skin irritations - but it also said that it will work with sunburn! That, along with this lotion that had oatmeal extracts (which are supposed to keep people from itching) and Aloe Vera in it is working pretty good.

Now I can type without having to stop every five seconds to scratch myself. Ah, technology makes me happy.

Don’t forget to have a good day, and make sure to keep that toothbrush at least 6 feet away from the toilet! What, you didn’t know that? Dentists have recommended that a toothbrush be kept at least 6 feet away from a toilet to avoid airborne particles resulting from the flush.

I think I will be an excellent writer when I grow up.
