It's the end of an era!
Well, I moved everything out of Ithaca safely and I'm back on LI for an undetermined amount of time. I'm thinking about a month or so. Maybe a lil more. My game plan so far is to hang at home for the next month or so, and continue trying to get a job in NYC. If I do manage to get some kind of job, an old friend of mine is also looking for a place in the city. So I think we're gonna talk that over at some point in the future, and if I get a job we might end up looking for a place together. But if I don't find a job in the next month or so, I'm gonna call the internship place in LA and see if they'd still want me. It would be unpaid, but the experience would be great. And then I'd be in LA and be able to get a foot in the door there. So we'll see how that all works out.
Bunny was here when me and Dad got home, which was a surprise. She hung out that day and spent the night, so that was really fun. Dad finally got the promotion at the NY Times, so he's gonna be the new Sports Editor soon. Yaaaay! It's a really great promotion, and we're all super proud of him. I sort of got a small job? An ex-neighbor of my parents, who live a few blocks away now, they asked me to house sit while they're away. I'm gonna be staying at their place for like, a week and a half starting on Sunday. Should be fun/interesting. I've never house-sat before. Do people usually pay for that? Because I wasn't sure, and she didn't mention money and the my parents don't pay our housesitter, so I have no idea. I kinda don't want to do it if I'm not gonna be paid, but I already said I would. So now I'm just like...ehhhhhhhhh? Oh well. It'll be something to break up the monotony.
My birthday is a week from tomorrow, which means I'll be house-sitting during my birthday. I'm not entirely sure how that one will work. Maybe I'll come home for that night, because I'd like to wake up at home on my birthday, not in a strange house all alone...you know? I have no idea what I'm doing on my birthday. I don't really have friends on LI to hang out with. I'm not even sure if the concert thing on my birthday is gonna work, now that I'm housesitting. I should prolly see if people still actually want to do that.
Mom threw a bunch of shit in my memory chest, so I spent some time organizing it last night. I ended up reading my journals from when I was 14 through 18 years old. It was a bizarre experience. Seeing how depressed and bitter and insecure I really was. I mean, I'm still insecure, but less depressed and bitter. It feels like it was forever ago that I wrote those journals. All the drama with high school and all these people I was friends with, and my crushes on Nick and Brian and Alex...it was really amusing and strange.
I'm currently trying to figure out my birthday plans. Because now that the whole house-sitting thing is happening, it makes going into the city for the concert a tad complicated. Hopefully I can straighten it out and have a fun birthday.
