This week I went to a training for AmeriCorps. It was so nice to be around people who could talk about poverty, politics and books we were reading. However, I felt like I was signing my life away for a year. Scary. We had to take an oath and everything!
A few "scary" quotes:
"I don't know if you realized it, but you signed this piece of paper I'm holding in my hand. That means I don't have to answer that question. You should've read it closer."
"If you choose to do that, we will come after your money and your position. So you choose."
"Yes, we understand he was just in a bike wreck. We can't stop you from leaving. But you won't be sworn in. Sorry."
And some fun ones:
"I can't wait to write 'Ended Poverty in 2008' on my resume at the end of this."
"I LOVE it when people attribute everything to fate. I got spit on today. Then I changed my shirt. Then this woman complimented my shirt. Then my self-esteem was boosted. It was fate."
"But I'll feel bad if I tell you. Ok, think of the crudest, dirtiest, rudest, most disturbing thing you can and then multiply it by 50. And that's what this joke is like. Here I'll just tell you."
"Don't read that book. It's like you make one bad decision, then you and everyone else's lives are ruined. And then you die."
"Remember when I said I loved that people could talk about poverty? I take it back. I feel like my head is going to explode! Let's just watch something predictable."
"Q: So what does it take for a guy to impress you? *wink, wink*A: Well, my boyfriend always makes fun of me because I'm so different than most girls....Ok cya."

Was that book you weren't supposed to read Atonement? If so, it's a fairly accurate assessment.
:)
Let me guess, this quote was from me?
"Remember when I said I loved that people could talk about poverty? I take it back. I feel like my head is going to explode! Let's just watch something predictable."
What were we watching that was predictable?
