HALLOWEEN
I need to come up with a really good costume. These are my ideas today... give me your input.
Patsy in Ab Fab...!!!! but I feel like it may be a bit too lost on most people.
CALAMITY JANE.... everyone will just think I'm a cowgirl
Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra.. would be really fun to dress up as.
And then you have the ubiquitous classics; Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction, so played out but fun, or in Kill Bill; Alice in Wonderland, etc.. Obviously I feel the need to take this holiday very seriously, but what an amazing night it shall beee!
So apparently I haven't written in here about what is actually going on in some time. Hence, in other news, I got approximately 3 hours of sleep, again, and am feeling rather unable to formulate coherent thoughts and sentences at work right now. Oops. Fuckyeah Monday night pictionary.
Moreover, I bought hangers yesterday (SCORE) and today I will get some curtains, because -- OH YES -- I have a place to live now! Ladies and gents, my 3 week stint as homeless has come to an end with me currently residing in a big, lovely house across from Golden Gate Park with some roommates I never see and a bearded dragon. Oh right, which brings us back to me not having a place to live for the rest of September... yes that was fun. Figuring out that you don't always really know what you're getting yourself into in this city and uh, that bitches be hos.
I'm working at a law firm, doing legal assistant stuff for personal injury & worker's compensation, on the plaintiff's side. It's boring, but I like the people I work with for the most part and they pay me well with benefits and all that. I'm completely cut off from my parents now, which is a frightening but awesome feeling. It's all up to me I guess; where and when I stay or go, what I do from here. I have a million different desires pulling me in quite different directions of what to do next. I'd really like to get my JD, but I'd also love to get a Master's -- maybe even like an MPA -- in some environmental policy/sustainability program. Also, I'd like to join the Peace Corps, but I don't feel like I'm ready for that yet although I think I should do it before getting an advanced degree. However, I'm antsy to get on with grad school for no real reason.. but really it's just a feeling I'm incapable of shaking.
On a completely different side of things, I've been thinking about moving to LA (god how horrifying) or New York (intimidating and far from the SF I love) to work for Warner Music. I have an in, there are job openings I'm qualified for, and I think being involved with music in some way may be the only thing consistently interesting and highly motivating to me. Although actually working for a major label might kill that, I still really like the idea of trying it out.
Or I may just save up money until I can travel around in South America working on farms or something. I've also been thinking about moving to Alaska, getting a job and buying a ton of land. Or following Jeff and Cass to Portland and investing and working in their restaurant. Or opening a cafe/bar in the City with whoever is here.
Hmmm hm hmmmm... so this is life..
