I've had a job offer in NJ!!!

[LostinVA]

Actually, two.

However, I'm taking the one that I really wanted, which pays $10,000 more than I'm making now, and which is a short commute.

The woman who will be my boss is so excited I accepted it... she said, "I was afraid you'd slip through my fingers!!!"

Yay!!! No working at Borders for me!!!

[Debi]

1. Will you be "LostinNJ" now? n/t

[LostinVA]

2. There's already some damned poster with that handle

Joking! I love Lost-in-NJ. That little pev.

[Debi]

11. I thought that was your sock puppet

:evilgrin:

[LostinVA]

19. Well, in that case

My sockpuppet went to Atlantic City without me.

[lost-in-nj]

47. Hi Queen Pev

:hi: :hi:


lost


you and Haruka have to see this video on my post

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x6780689

[LostinVA]

50. Pizza in Morris County in just a few weeks!

[Debi]

52. Wait a sec....you're NOT LiVA's sock puppet??/

:crazy:

[Midlodemocrat]

3. YOU'RE LEAVING VA?

for New Jersey? What in God's name are you thinking?

Series. Congrats!!! SOOOO happy for you guys. :hug:

[LostinVA]

6. Yep -- seriesly

I'm thinking about getting married.

You should have seen how excited Haruka was when I told her. I think she may just want out of VA, though.

:hug:

[LynneSin]

4. I got a fucking bone to pick with you New Jerseyeans!!!

And you can all kiss my ass for all I care.

Only in New Jersey do they have it setup that the only way you can access the PNC Art Center is by getting on the Garden State Parkway and paying a damn toll.

What the fuck is with that!

[LostinVA]

7. Why do you pay the tolls on the Parkway?

That's the real question.

[LynneSin]

9. Because it was the only way to get into the PNC

trust me on that one. We looked everywhere to avoid the damn quarter toll

[LostinVA]

10. Haruka told me awhile back that they had it on the news about Parkway tolls

and that, as long as you honk, you won't get a ticket for not paying the toll.

[LynneSin]

12. Like I'm gonna take advice on tolls from Haruka

I'll probably have a letter from NJ DOT fining me a couple of hundred dollars for failure to pay a damn quarter for a turnpike toll

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Why would you take advice of any kind from Haruka?

She's a pev.

:hide:

[LynneSin]

14. Seriously!!

She is a Pez

[LostinVA]

22. Nah, her ears don't stick out

[LostinVA]

17. Actually, we're both pevs

I'd trust my advice more than hers, though.

[LostinVA]

15. But, if they do catch you

the first time you only have to mail your quarter in.

[LynneSin]

18. And what makes you any different for someone I should take advice from

Hell you're marrying Haruka - you're corrupted when it comes to advice

[LostinVA]

21. She's corrupted me

But not regarding advice.

[Debi]

55. STOP WITH THE PEV TALK

[LostinVA]

57. Baby, you know you love it

[TommyO]

56. Please, don't call it the PNC Bank Arts Center

It will always be The Garden State Arts Center to those of us who grew up in NJ before the renaming debacle.

[Justpat]

64. You are right about that.

Exit 109 here and still calling it the Garden State Arts Center.


:hi:

[LostinVA]

68. And it's the Brendan Byrne Arena, goddamnit

[fizzgig]

5. congrats!

that's gotta be a big relief for you

[LostinVA]

8. Thank you

It's a huge relief, and I think I'll really like it.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. Congratulations!

:toast:

I shall pour out a 40 oz. of EVOO in your honor.

[LostinVA]

20. YUMMO!!!

[Gormy Cuss]

23. Congrats!

More proof that your stars have been aligned ever since you met your future trophy wife.

[LostinVA]

54. Know what?

I was thinking the same thing earlier.

[soleft]

24. You can drive your mini van on the parkway

Though you have to pay a toll, it's quite pretty.

if you're there in the Fall, you can go pumpkin picking in Colts Neck, NJ.

[LostinVA]

25. MINI VAN?! I'm not Midlo

I have a tres hip VW Golf TDI.

[flvegan]

34. You just wish you were.

OOOH!

Too bad your trophy wife drives a land behemoth.

[LostinVA]

35. I know -- she told me she will NEVER get a Prius

Ugh. She's half Freeper I think.

[flvegan]

38. And how are you getting your stuff

to the land of milk and honey? Moving van? Truck? At least her "half Freeper" has found her other "half"

[LostinVA]

40. Moving van in a few weeks

I know, it's so romantic. I mean, it really is.

[flvegan]

44. Is it a hybrid?

Nice mpg, Hitler.

[LostinVA]

51. *sob*

[soleft]

45. okay, so there is a van involved somewhere

[flvegan]

48. ZING!!

[flvegan]

26. So you took the lostandharukapevcam.com job, eh?

You know you've got my $19.95/mo membership!

Seriously, congrats on the job. Apologies for the new Joisey homestead. Uh, go Devils!

Didn't LL Cool J do that song, "Goin' Back to Jersey"? Nah, that wasn't it.

[LostinVA]

28. I'll send you the Paypal link later

It'll be weird, though -- I grew up in southern NJ, so it was, "Go Eagles! Go Phillies! Go Flyers!"

[flvegan]

31. Hence your

southern (NJ) drawl. "Hey, youze all come back now, ya heah?

[LostinVA]

36. hehehehehhehehe -- funny thing

I do have a slight Piedmont NC accent along with my SNJ one.

[flvegan]

37. Oh, sweet jeebus

I can't wait to hear that!

[LostinVA]

41. I can do a perfect Piedmont NC accent if I want to

As a party trick.

[LeftyMom]

61. Can't be any weirder than your accent.

I mean, you say y'all AND you still have tinges of masshole. It's hella weird.

[LostinVA]

65. I say "y'all'" and I have a South Jersey accent

[lost-in-nj]

49. Go Giants

Go Yankees
Go Devils

:evilgrin: :rofl: :rofl:

lost

[LostinVA]

53. Jeebus

Haruka and I watched the Eagles-Giant game together over the phone. The Eagles WON!

GO EAGLES!!!

However, she IS my little Jersey Devil.

[cboy4]

27. Imagine how much more money you'd be making if you

didn't choose to be a lesbian and live that lifestyle.

Congratulation my little Rosemary!!

I'm proud of you!


:loveya:

[LostinVA]

29. I know -- I cry about it every night before I attack my future trophy wife

Thank you, my evil Devilkins.
