Journal update.
...more like a series of ramblings as I try to sort out thoughts ricocheting off my cranial walls.
Was that not poetic?
So I've been 18 for about 11 days now. Yeah, I've finally begun to remember that I'm 18 now, lol...for the first few days I was still telling people I was "17...oh no, sorry, 18. 18."
Hahaha, I was actually asked today at my job, while cleaning tables, by one of my customers if I was old enough to be working at Yoshinoya. I say yes, I'm 18...he says I look 12. Hilarious.
I was also told that I looked Latina today. Guess I'm proficient enough in Spanish to make people think I'm a quasi-native speaker. LOL.
The job is going good. Today was my first day working until midnight, tomorrow and Thursday are the same hours, Friday I'm off, and Saturday I work until 1. Yeah, oi. The upside is, I get paid 50 cents more for every hour I work after 10 pm. They're also beginning to teach me managerial/shift leader duties, which is flattering, yet I'm responsible for too much cash. Ha. In a way, I kinda wish I was staying longer; in a way, I'm glad I'm not.
I went to a hookah bar last week with Blippy...we lost our hookah virginity together, maha. That's romantic. It was awesome, though...much better than cigarettes; they go down smoother and come out smoother, and smell much better. If anyone's looking to go to a hookah bar, go to Habibi's Cafe in Westwood : 923 Broxton Ave. Good service and good hookah. Plus, the bums there are nice. Hahaha.
So my move up to UCSB is nearing...three weeks left, about. There's a huge pile of clutter on my desk gathering that I'm not touching until I have to move, lol. It's felt like it was closing in ever since orientation, but now it's a lot more tangible, since I have to make sure I pay my fees on time, buy dorm sheets, and buy a refrigerator with Inteema. She sent me an email about one costing $118.00 a few days ago.
I always used to say, "Next year..." when referring to attending UCSB, but I had to correct myself to say, "in three weeks".
I have no idea what life at UCSB's gonna be like. There's so much I want to do...so much that I have to do...people I want to see, people I want to meet. Argh. It's all one big pachanga that I think I have to just sort out one day at a time.
I have to learn how to take care of myself. That's the biggest feat I must accomplish.
My, my. The new record from The Snake The Cross The Crown is beautiful. Everyone must go buy it. Now. I can tell Carl's and Kevin's voices, but apparently I've heard that William sings a song on Mander Salis. I'm not sure which one, but I've got a hunch. Haha. I saw the boys play last week at the Knitting Factory. Good times like whoa. I heart them. They're so awesome to watch and hang out with, I definitely hope I'll be able to see them when they come around in October, in SB and LA.
Speaking of, I received an email from KH today, with a little addendum after the general message :
"***for you long-time kh fans, our old drummer and best friend mark fate's band is putting out their long awaited debut for equal vision records. be sure to pick up the snake the cross the crown's new disk at your local record store to support mark. this is only if you've already bought our new record. ha. do it."
Haha, isn't that amazing? They both make me so happy.
It's interesting that I'm in such a good mood right now. Lately...recently, actually, I've been feeling more free, more liberated. I won't say why, but let's just leave it at...I've finally gotten an answer that I've been looking for for so long...I know now that I have to move on, and for the right reasons.
I've been really contemplative, too. The future freaks me out...to quote Motion City Soundtrack. But...it's really for the best, I now believe.
Ahh. I think that's enough out of me for right now. I'm just going to sit back and listen to Mander Salis; I've had this album for 5 days now and I've only just gotten to listen to it. LOL.
P.S. Wish me a Happy Belated Birthday, y'all! <3
