TWO BIG THINGS
1. My cell phone died, and took my whole address book to the grave with it
ARGH!!!!!! I'm trying to be very calm about this, but as the days go by I'm realizing how this could potentially permanently separate me from those I normally keep in touch with. so please please please - pretty please with sugar on top - if I had your phone number before could you please email it to me again? Big things are happening to me right now (see #2) and the worst thing that could happen is if I lost touch with my friends.....
thank you!!
aaahhhnd, onto the next big thing (bum ba da bum!)
2. I became a Los Angeles resident on Monday.
No, not show-up-with-my-bags-and-sleep-on-your-floor resident. More like, signed-a-lease-and-got-my-own-keys resident.
It's been almost two years since I packed up my house in Philadelphia, loaded it up on a storage truck, and sent it all west - all with this idea in my head that I would be a California resident no more than three months later. Two years later, after a sordid year of sleeping on a floor in Brooklyn, and another year wandering the country, it's finally happened...FINALLY.
I have my own little house, it's small and quirky and was built in the early 1900's (so I'm told), every room has a tilt to it and it's maybe 800 square feet... but I don't care - it's MINE (we'll mine and my roommate's, in all fairness)
It's on a hill, set back from the street, and while the city is bustling around me, our immediate surroundings are trees, two side yards (and a small backyard), and a pretty sizeable deck for just sitting and watching the world go by. Sunset Junction is not two blocks away from me. Opportunity is all around me.
Last night, I sat on my front deck drinking a Corona, and watched the sun set. Beautiful pinks and reds, all different colors that I didnt think exsisted in a city. The view was spectacular - I could see Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood sign, and all of the hills. Right then, it really hit me - I'm home.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! *happy dance* who wants to come over for a barbeque? or better yet, what is there to do in this city?? I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed, and ready to jump in.
