<p>opossum,</p>
<p>im a member of “i survived the purple tunnel of doom” from the inauguration. i think a lot of people joined the group thinking they would be given some perks for having missed the ceremony despite have tickets but i dont think that worked out too well. maybe you guys should start a “i survived the summer process so let me in the fall internship” and make a more compelling case…ha</p>
<p>hahaha.</p>
<p>I wish I had more to say…but I dont :P</p>
<p>But I am still wondering where the other 4000 people are…</p>
<p>WAIT WAIT WAIT…If we are now claiming territory…I declare that I am the KING OF THE JACK DANIELS roflmao…additionally I am second in command to the fb group and the thread…don’t try me bc I am like Israel…I will set something off LOL…</p>
<p>Clearly we’re all delirious as we have shifted off into the void of the rose petal game…“They want me…They want me not” lol…we should organize a summer trip to Cabo and label the picture album “CHANGE WE BELIEVE IN”…then when we get the internship we should create a video blog and name it “THE REAL WORLD: WHITE HOUSE INTERN EDITION”</p>
<p>the other 4000 people are not as big losers as us</p>
<p>doctorjohn: very true 
but you’d think they’d all be on edge like us. Or maybe they’re like “meh, time to move on” and we are the barnacles of the sea, er, internship.</p>
<p>BARNACLES I SAY, BARNACLES!</p>
<p><<has officially=“” gone=“” loopy=“”>></has></p>
<p>We haven’t heard back from Peebles or Apple, who also interviewed I think. Where are you guys? Have you heard anything back? Thanks!</p>
<p>Oh if we are claiming territory I claim “All analogies or metaphors pertaining to Willie Wonka”!!!</p>
<p>scanman1722</p>
<p>good point you made about cronyism, etc.</p>
<p>oh, and for a fact, i dont personally know Jimmy Carter or Robert Gibbs parents, I only know people that are close to them. Jimmy Carter I met, and got to meet the Carter family, etc. I made good friends with the Carter’s daughter’s teacher…she was Amy Carter’s teacher and moved to the White House to be her teacher and nanny, pretty sweet tho, however, I dont know if using her would have helped much lol. plus, im fairly new to these folks so I didnt want to cloud my intentions, immean, its like, are we friends or being used? haha</p>
<p>maybe, i have to get those notions out and play the game, like u said lol.</p>
<p>haha, so I take it that everybody else has submitted to my dictatorship/divine monarchy? haha kidding ofcourse.</p>
<p>Great ideas about Real World, Cabo, etc, haha</p>
<p>we literally could run our own leadership internship and have MTV do something on it, lol.</p>
<p>we could make some noise if we…say…went to intern in Cuba for the Castros? haha, part summervacation/part internship…lol…all under the guise of bringing democracy back there? lol.</p>
<p>we could go ultraliberal and go Venezuela,maybe that will make them hear us, haha kidding ofcourse yall</p>
<p>as for the facebook group…i was think "All American White House Intern Rejects"if we were to solely have all the losers in it, lol, losers as in rejected</p>
<p>another name…"Everybody is a Winner:White house Interns:Rejects&Accepted Alike</p>
<p>O, btw, message to everyone else here: I live very close to the DC area. If you get the internship and are worried about housing, just message me–we have a guest room in our house, and my parents and I would love to host you for the summer. Being a metro-area, and DC for that matter, housing can get expensive. So, just message me through this site–hopefully we can work something out.</p>
<p>And again–to everyone, while we’re waiting…buene suerte! Good luck!</p>
<p>blaaaaah. still no news. although I guess I shouldn’t expect anything until the 4-6:30 time range since that is tres popular with the White House :D</p>
<p>this is true, apple and peebles seem to have fallen off the face of the earth: where are you guys!?!?!</p>
<p>Perhaps they’ve been accepted, and whisked away by the White House?</p>
<p>Yeah so I just called they said the end of the week. And they said there were “Some” phone interviews. I’m surprised I got an actual person.</p>
<p>nupenupeyoo: what do you mean they said “end of the week” as in they wont release <em>any</em> more decisions until the end of the week? well poop. I guess I just have to wait now…?</p>
<p>what number did you call… i’ve never got a real person</p>
<p>202.456.1414. I asked if they made all the decisions yet. She said no. I’m a little on edge because she admitted there were “some” phone interviews. I dunno we will c.</p>
<p>man i wish they could just tell you flat out that if you didn’t get an interview or your references checked than your chances are slim or whatever. I just hate this whole beating around the bush thing. I can take it…just tell me the truth for goodness sake!</p>
<p>oh. Well that is the White House Switchboard… that makes sense</p>
<p>I’ve never called them but I’m glad you guys have. hm. I guess we just wait all the way Friday now…?
Did they say perhaps by what <em>time</em> on Friday we would hear?</p>
<p>No I’m not that brave. I really think its safe to assume that if you haven’t done an interview or have had your references checked your chances are slim. But HOPE lives on.lol</p>
