Hmm... not counting the spaces, your NDA phrase required 16 characters including an unneeded n while your embargo phrase required 17. If you changed to "I signed a NDA", even fewer characters are needed and no clarity is lost.
BTW, you hit one of my pet peeves. I tend to reserve embargo for such things as "Iran is under an oil embargo" and not "My parents embargoed me from going to the mall with my friends".
