One might wonder, where have I been? I've quit Chevron, did some background acting, fell in love with a girl I wasn't supposed to, went camping, joined a gym and watched a bunch of movies and films along the way.
I had to quit Chevron because I got a heads-up from Fitnete that I was going to be fired the coming Tuesday. So I had my letter of resignation ready and got the jump on them. I didn't really get to leave on my own terms since I didn't get the big 75% college tuition reimbursement I was counting on but at least I quit. A little bit before the time I got fired I started doing background acting in my days off and considered trying to do it full time. It's long hours, long commutes and only minimum wage but that's nothing in exchange for meeting really awesome people and watching a production. Plus there's the free meals. I'm only with Central right now so it's getting difficult to find things to work on. I only did an episode of Monk and three days on Heroes. The good thing is that now I'll probably get called in for any of the High School scenes for Heroes but theres' so many damn characters on the show that just waiting on that isn't going to cut it. I'll probably join a call service.
So during this time I started hanging out with Sara. Not sure why; I guess she needed rides and I needed the company. She wanted to join Central and so I took her and from there we just hung out with her everyday. I told myself that I didn't want to develop another stupid little crush on a girl for a good long while but I did. We spent a week just driving around Hollywood and LA, running errands, eating out and watching movies. I've also been driving her to her summer class and work since she doesn't own a car and the buses are on strike. I misinterpreted what I thought were hints that for some bizarre reason she liked me the same way I liked her but it turns out she only sees me as a friend and now she feels that any sort of act of kindness I do is a pathetic attempt to win her over. I don't know if she still needs me because she seems unconvinced that I still want to at least salvage our friendship. I know I can get over her and pine over some other girl but I don't know if she'll ever lower her guard and be just a friend in the same way she says that she sees me. I'll still offer her rides and if she feels uncomfortable then I guess that's the end of what never was. It was probably the best week of my summer. One day I'll build an machine so I can travel to alternate dimensions. I go to the amazing world where I'm happy and kick that fucker's ass.
