The News
Well as some of you do, or do not know, I am leaving for California next week. I'll be there a couple weeks working, and then I will probably move there and take the position permanently. Aleena is coming with me for the drive, and we are both really excited about the trip. Mom is taking my car tomorrow and getting it all tuned up and new tires and the works - that's my birthday present from her. I really hope things go well for me there. How the current plan goes is they are paying my travel there, and while I am there they are paying my expenses. And then I get paid my normal wages on top of that. That'll go on until they get all my particulars worked through Human Relations and get a real job offer to me. Then, assuming I like the offer, I'll take the offer, and move my stuff out there - all expenses paid (either have a moving company pack it and move it, or come back and get a u-haul and do it myself)
But like I said, Aleena is coming with me for the trip there Tuesday, then I am flying her back on Sunday (week from today). This might be the last time I see her for 4-5 months... I hope to be able to make it a special 3 days, aside from the obvious fact that it'll be in California. I'm planning on asking her out again while we are there... maybe on a beach... with the sun setting... hey, to quote Psymon from SSX Tricky,
If your going to go down, go down in flames.
I dunno... I think she's really starting to understand just how much I care about her...
apparently Erica asked her if she realized how much I liked her back when I gave her her Christmas present... and apparently Aleena said I was just going through a phase.... between her birthday, Christmas, and her flight back from California... we're talking an $800-$900 phase since October.
Erica and I pretty much just came to the conclusion that Aleena is scared... which Aleena has told me as well... but I need to figure out how to show to her that I am not going to hurt her, I am not going anywhere (emotionally) and that I will always feel this way about her.
she kissed me Friday night... just a quick french kiss... granted she was drunk.... however she's been drunk around me many times and had no urge to kiss me what so ever. so what's just about confusing as all hellfuck.
I keep thinking so many wonderful things could happen between her and I while in California... but I know that if I let myself get my hopes up, I'll end up with nothing but pain and regret.
so I've been sitting here kinda planning the 3 days we'll have...
my first priority - beach. never been to one... not a real one... and I'll get to see the pacific ocean too. I've got a lot of choices as far as beaches too... looks like Venice Beach would be the closest, then Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Long Beach, then you get down towards Orange County with Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach. Venice Beach is about 2 hours away, while Laguna is about 3.
and then Aleena wants to get a tattoo or a piercing while she is there..
http://www.maddogtattoo.net/main.html looks to be a fairly good place. just fired off an e-mail to them about it so we'll see.
and I wouldn't mind wandering around LA some... Walk of Fame.. Aleena wants to see Johnny Depp's star.. not sure who I'd want to see in particular, but it would be fun.
well that about sums it up for now... i'm pretty much out of what to talk about, so we'll see how things go in the next couple of days.
