The Battle of Los Angeles
Ok so I’ve kind of neglected to write anything for a while. I’ve been busy though, so you must forgive me. I don’t even have the will power to write about everything that’s happened to me since I last wrote, but I’ll try and cover the important stuff.
The internship is going well. Sometimes it gets boring, but I still love the environment and the whole accessory thing. Nothing terribly interesting happens except for me finding out that I can get the $500 purses somewhere for like $50. Badass. I don’t think I get an actual discount on the stuff though. Of course even with a discount the shit is still a lot of money.
Work is going well too. I spend so much time there, its not even funny anymore. There are lots of cool people though. I’ve gotten to be pretty close to some of them. Lately I’ve seen: Jack Black, Carmen & Dave (again), and a few others, but it doesn’t compare to the ones I missed at the Bourne Supremacy world premier: Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Julia Stiles, Magic Johnson, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock and others. Does that suck or what? Anyway, the other night it was one girl’s birthday so a whole bunch of people went to this pub and I got in because I said I wasn’t drinking. Too bad someone bought me a drink and once that happened I could just order as much as I wanted. So yeah, it was pretty cool hanging out with everyone somewhere else. And remember Matt? Okay well we’ve talked about dating and stuff and we’ve been hanging out and stuff lately and people were noticing that night. This is when the shit hit the fan. At that point a billion people were asking me questions about it and stuff. So then other guys are trying to talk me out of it and stuff. Ben, Trey, and Jake think it’s a bad idea and of course have to play big brother since Matt wasn’t there. I got a free drink out of it though because this one guy Aaron, who by the is a total cutie, seemed a little disappointed and may or may not be trying to score some points, which he did. He’s so cute and such a sweetheart. We were talking about doing something today, but I didn’t see him when I was leaving work so we never made any real plans. Oh well.
And for my next stunt…As of right now, I will be returning to UNT in the fall. I will finish the semester, head home for Christmas, and move out to Los Angeles in January. My mom wants to buy a house here. I will live there and so will Matt. Matt will pay rent to my mom and things will be awesome. I can have a grill and a kiddie pool and most importantly, a parking spot. I will most likely go to school at the Fashion Institute, but I need to be sure that an associate degree will suit my needs in the career world. I’m trying to get in touch with all the right people so I can be sure I’m going the right way for myself. I just have to get enough information to feel safe about it. I’m actually really excited about going back to school and seeing everyone. I miss everybody…I guess I need to talk to Lorinda since the poor girl has no idea what I’ve been brewing in my head about this moving to LA thing. I am addicted to Los Angeles.

Maybe I just need to get laid.
Happy fifth of July everyone. I’ve been far too busy to keep up with this particular segment of my life. Things are going well though. I’m still loving it here. I love it so much that I kind of want to stay…for a long time. It’s a completely realistic idea. If I stayed here and worked for 6 months while I established residency, I’d qualify for in state tuition at Cal State LA and finish my fashion degree there. Reasonable rent DOES exist here too and I find that to be excellent. I mean, I already know I don’t want to stay in Texas for too much longer. I don’t know though.
I feel like I’ve let myself do too much thinking for the amount of down time I have. I’ve been having a loneliness issue lately. I think its due partly to the fact that I’m around guys all the time and I always hear my girlfriend this, my girlfriend that…but I think its also just that I don’t have any really close friends around. I haven’t had the time it takes to form a good bond like that. That’s okay though. Remember the 28 year old guy I talked about last time? Okay well I still work with him a lot. I don’t know what the deal is, but I feel like I should give him a proper introduction since I’m going to say that I officially like this one. His name is Rodney. Obviously he’s 28 and has a girlfriend. He’s in school to be an actor and this is kind of funny…but remember that other guy Matt? They’re friends from their home town and live together. Anyway, there have been a few nights where Rodney and I have sort of started to make plans, but they have all seemed to fall apart at some point. No big deal though. So the flirting level is high, not gross, but definitely high for someone who has a girlfriend. We’re talking some touching, always talking to each other, waiting for each other, mild sexual jokes…Obviously the girlfriend thing hasn’t stopped me before, but this one sounds pretty serious. However, he never even brings up the word girlfriend when he talks to me. I’ve heard him talk about her to other people but never to me directly and that makes me wonder. What’s my deal anyway? All I know how to do is break people up. That’s borderline obnoxious. He asked me what I was doing after work today and I had no plans but he said to call him if I was doing something. Too bad I’m not. I called him but nobody picked up and I didn’t bother with a message since I had no plans to present.
There’s also Rob. He’s so fuckin cute. I was supposed to go to some party with him the other night, but I didn’t really have a way to get there, so that sucks. I talked to him for a little while this morning. That brightened my morning a little since I was about to pass out. I got off work last night at 12:15 and then headed to some girl’s apartment with Mel to meet up with the boys. We hung out around the fire pit till oh, about 4 in the morning singing songs and drinking the beer. Nick and I invented the androgynous high five, but that’s a pointless story all by itself. I think it only works when you’re sitting next to someone and you both have armrests for your elbows.
Stacey finally came back to the United States the other day, only to go to Salt Lake City…which is not unlike a foreign land. So I’m hoping she’ll get out here soon so we can finally have some hang out time. There’s so much stuff that I wish she was here for and I miss her so much! I can’t wait until she’s here. I think that’s enough for now, have a good one.
Oh and P.S. Today I saw Scott Wolf, Carmen Electra, and Dave Navarro and on Friday I saw Giovanni Ribisi when I was eating breakfast. Damn he’s sexy.
