After some convincing from Yang, I decided to wake up at 4:30am in order to get there by 6am! I was beaming and singing the whole drive there. I thought it would be fun to mingle with line people, but Yang was pre-reg so it was just me and a group of aggin's (is that spelled right?) for two hours. They would try to include me in their conversation ( Read more... )

I met up with Yang last night for her twenty-first birthday. We went to Dave and Buster's in one of the Asian parts of town, and I've never seen so many tickets won before than those that are won by asian kids. There will be groups of girls racking up stacks of tickets that will require a shopping bag to carry around usually held by their ( Read more... )

My sewing ideas didn't quite turn out how I had hoped, but I'm not discouraged, because the main problem is I can't afford comfortable or nice material. The accessories, though they turned out cute, will just act as prototypes since the lace and ribbons were the bargain types and they're quite stiff and itchy. There will be better chances for ( Read more... )

I got hired at Urban Outfitters! It's not all that exciting, I know, and the constant stream of LA hipsters will drive me nuts, but thirty two hours a week should be enough to pass the time quickly. Plus, it will be nice to finally work somewhere with no dress code: no uniform, no khakis, no business casual (thankfully, because I can't afford to ( Read more... )

So the class was so very full. Over twenty students showed up to add the class that day, and about thirteen of them were on the waiting list. The first ten got in the class, and the rest of us went home. I didn't even know there was a such thing as a waiting list for a class. I'm severely disappointed; of course, it's my own fault, but I'm still ( Read more... )

I received both a letter and phone call from my bear yesterday. Poor thing keeps getting sea sick because the weather has been really rough. He said business should pick up this week, and he's getting more used to the boat. We only get to talk for about fifteen minutes. Every time I hear his voice I change my mind about letting him go! Five more ( Read more... )

On my way to my car from my job interview, I crossed the path of a crazy hobo lounging on a bench, smoking what obviously looked like a fat joint. Upon seeing me, he went into crazy hobo rant mode, where I couldn't make out what he was saying until I passed him. In this passing he was looking me straight in the eyes through my sunglasses and ( Read more... )

So I'm back from another day of job hunting, and it would appear most have already hired all their summer help. And here I wasted my first month of summer moping. Urban Outfitters seems eager to hire people for their new location in Studio City, but it doesn't open until the 19th of July. However, they will be training for 3 weeks prior. My only ( Read more... )

I've successfully made it through my weekend on my own. I've, amazingly enough, have found several things to entertain myself. I'm hopelessly addicted to Netflix, and bit torrent. I have two freshly gesso'ed canvases ready to be painted on. I have no snacks in the house, thankfully, because I would eat them all in one sitting, (one sitting could ( Read more... )

my social awkwardness is at it's best! lately, i'm scared to death of embarassing myself in public or in front of people, that when i'm outside, i have these spats of anxiety that hit me. which makes it a horrible time to get to know your neighbors, but we just realized that the couple across the complex has a lot in common with us so i'm trying my ( Read more... )
