yes...yes it's finally friday...but I still have a work day to get through...
this is going to be a long babbly entry so I think I'll cut here.
it's good to be alive. i feel like I'm enjoying my final days of being 24. I'm ready to turn 25. I know some of the "older and wiser" folk that I know tell me not to rush things, but I am ready. Ready for the next stage, the "other half" of this decade, and HOPEFULLY for some kind of decrease in my car insurance.
I cannot wait to go to Hawaii. I just can't wait...WOO! I scream in the car :) I jump up and down in my apartment. I am going on vacation and it feels good :)
Tonight there was a work celebration for the deadline we had last week. It was at this restaurant up in the hills above Burbank. Pretty cool view. That is definitely something I love about this area, the vistas. They are always so mesmerizing and they add so much to the atmosphere of a social gathering.
After I left that I prepared myself to continue on through the night. Yes, I went out on a "school night'! OH MY! It was fun - a party for a girl that my friend knows - someone who knows so-and-so and so-and-so...I saw a few people from various Real Worlds...and they thought they were all that and a bag of chips. How do I know? It's just in the way they carry themselves, kind of like they know that people recognize them. What would that be like? To be recognized when you go in to a place. I was in this bar, letting my inner gangsta out and shakin' my groove thang, and just looking around the crowd. Even though I'm 3000 miles from home I'm convinced I will see someone I know. It's possible...I mean, just yesterday I was on the 5 and next to me was a Ford Taurus from Ted Britt Ford...this is the Ford dealership that is in Fairfax, VA - minutes from my house, and just down the street from my junior high where I went to school with the Britt boys! So random...but the world shrinks constantly. I mean, I saw a friend of my sister's when i was in the Louvre in PARIS! Wow...
I was hanging with a few girls from book club tonight - it's always fun to get to know people more and more. I mean, there's the initial hello, how are you, where are you from, what do you do...but the more you hang, the farther you get from the initial details, the more you can let your true self out. It feels good to be entering my 9th month of living in Southern CA and feel like I can be myself.
I'm just happy right now. Maybe it's the few beers I've had tonight. Maybe it's the fact that I will be leaving for Hawaii soon...who knows...but I am smiling... :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) and I like to smile :) :) :) and be happy :) :) :)
I think I shall attempt to sleep now...it's so difficult...but intoxication might help. Must wake in the morning. Must remember to bring ipod to work because work day is VERY long without ipod.....i need to finish packing tomorrow night and be sure to wake up on Saturday in order to get to LAX. The thing is - I can always wake up for the fun and exciting stuff...it's just work that I seem to like to sleep through :)
