Long and tall days
Hey kids,
Lets recap on the last few days shall we?
A couple of nights ago Mike & I went to hookah at The Spot with Tim. I thought everything was going well except for the occasional moment of awkward silence that I would try to fill up with any number of topics that were uncomfortable for everyone (i.e if Tim would date the lead singer of Metallica… he said no). On the way home however was a different story. Mike was upset and brought up something that I thought was really interesting “Why do I always have to pretend like I’m perfect.”
He was upset that even though he was in a bad mood all evening he couldn’t tell Tim and couldn’t just be his upset self. I’m sure everyone knows that feeling of trying to be someone your not and just getting weary of putting on a show for others. Anyway I tried my best to comfort him and eventually all was well but I guess it kind of stuck with me. For example there’s a good number of people that have no idea who I really am and what my flaws are and that’s a shame. Sorry this was kind of a tangent… anyway…
Yesterday I had my first day volunteering at the nonprofit in Beverly Hills (I know, ironic) and it was buckets of fun. I spent most of the day doing clerical stuff then being introduced to a whole bunch of folks, which was nice. It looks like they’re opening another branch in West Hills and they want me to work as a job placement counselor there when it opens and if that doesn’t work the guy who runs the job placement website (think monster.com only tiny) offered me a job as his assistant/slave girl in a few weeks, this my friends makes me a very happy girl. Here’s to hoping this being driven and working for free thing ends up paying off.
After volunteering my friend Brandon kidnapped me from my house on a mad errand adventure. I thought it was going to be awkward and horrible but it ended up being quite nice. He’s seeing a girl that he calls squirrel which I think is amazing because I got to say “You have a SQUIRRELFRIEND” about 9 zillion times.
Tonight is my twelve sister’s play, which I imagine will have one of the three outcomes
1. She’ll run around like a crazy person scaring her classmates and audience members
2. She’ll start an impromptu song in the spirit of the rainbow connection and everyone will join hands.
3. She’ll add more and more false hair to her face as the play progresses so at the end of it she looks like a teen wolf.
I thought girls her age were supposed to be all self-conscious and worried about boys. Nicole is a crazy person and worried about alligators, nuf said.
The forecast for this weekend is D&D, work, D&D again, and lots of friends and love. Lord I’m a huge nerd.
PEACE!
