so i finally get to blog. i've been wanting to for awhile.. but just haven't had the time or been too tired.. or wasn't in a big typing mood. but i look at my blog and it looks so sad and lonely.. so i'm sorry blog.. i love you.. i really do.

not much .. i've been a tad busy with nothing. fun huh? my grandma left :( which sucks because she was a lot of fun.. we got to hang out a lot and was even fun to just watch tv with. plus she liked to cook for me and do the dishes. she was rad. hopefully i'll get to see her soon. my sister also went to taiwan.. but she'll be back soon.. monday to be exact, with lots of presents in hand .. whoo hoo! i told her what to buy me.. hehe. but in the airport we also perused the duty free shop and i got a new watch :) i've lost/broken the last few i have, and just rely on my cell phone for time, but i also like a good watch, so of course i went looking. it's courtesy of my grandma.. she said she bought it as a birthday present for me. :) the only sucky thing is that since it's duty free i have to wait until my sister comes back from taiwan to get it. oh well. it's purtty and shiny .. i'm excited.

i also went to the virgin howie day instore (without driving in triangles... thank goodness) with erika and beth. we got there late.. but he was great.. :) and then through erika i got tickets to the concert the next day (which was actually supposed to be the day before, but got postponed because of the fires because his plane couldn't land) and dragged benji to the concert with me. he was the only who would go.. i would have been so sad if i couldn't find someone to go with. benji is the best. the concert was SO good and full band and solo work by howie was sweet. he also did this looping thing that was really really awesome where he makes all these different chords, sounds, beats and loops them all together on stage in front of you to make a whole song.. it's neat. apparently he's done it forever.. but this is the first time i've seen him live and it rocked. not to mention that his bassist looked like a relative of steve kim hehehe. not quite as hot, but definitely not ugly. he just needs to not smile with his mouth open though.. he had pirate teeth. haha. but i enjoyed it. matt nathanson was also lovely and funny. thanks again benji!

wednesday i finally called up the temp agency again (since i hadn't heard from them in forever) and asked them to call me again. it works out well because before i felt bad for leaving my grandma at home by herself, but now that she's gone it's good that i can work so my parents won't nag me about me being a useless lump of nothing eating their food and using their money. but so the temp agency called me about an "indefinite" job which was pretty close to my house (16 minutes in traffic) so it's nice. the bad part is that it's 8am-5pm.. which is normal like most jobs, and not too heinous, but when i've been waking up at 1pm.. 8am is kicking me in arse. i'm super tired all day and what not.. but it's chill and not stressful. a bit boring.. i punch numbers ALL day.. but it's easy and leaves me with plenty of time to surf the net, email and chat. but i DO get all my work done and then some.. so i figure it's alright. that's what everyone else there does too. but i'm also getting paid, which is definitely nice.. my funds were running pretty low... so it's good to have income.. now i can be even more wasteful and frivolous. but i'm also crazy and applied at the gap for part time (nights and weekends) which means if i got it then i'd be going straight from one job to another. i don't know why.. i just had this overwhelming desire to work there still. it's not like i NEED the money (although it is nice to have extra) and not like i NEED the clothes either.. (my closet constantly looks like it's thrown up all over my room) .. i don't know.. i just really wanted to, and thought it would be fun. but i guess we'll see. what if they don't hire me? that would be pretty sad. but it would follow my current hiring trend. how sad would it be if i got rejected from the gap. damn.

halloween came and went, i passed out candy to some really cute kids. i saw these kids that were a set a crayons!! it was so cute. and then i really wanted to see a set of kids dressed up as harry, ron and hermione. how AWESOME would that be... but it didn't happen.. kids are dumb.. haha. i was supposed to hang out with carrie but couldn't because i got in a fight with my mom (yes again) so i just stayed home and wallowed. boo... i know.

the play is going well. just two weeks left. opening night was good good.. and then it just kinda has been all over the place since then. since it only shows once a week and we don't do anything in between.. it's like those classes that you only had once a week were you forget everything from the week before. i've fudged up a little with lights and sounds.. nothing TOO noticeable.. but it kind of sucks. there are flaws.. but most everyone seems to not notice and enjoy it. i just know because that's my job right? it sucked though because last week we had to start and hour later because on of the actor's cars broke down. this week was good.. it just sucks with traffic and parking. damn hollywood. but some people have mentioned that they're going to come to the next two shows.. so i'm excited.. i'll have friends. haha. i hope i don't mess up too badly from the pressure.

i also worked on editing my trailer for my sister's shorts. i went late late at nights and my mom freaked.. but it's all good. i didn't quite finish, but i will soon.. although they already showed them.. and people responded well. i still think it a p.o.s. but that's what i always think. but it's been fun piecing this stuff together and every once in awhile i like getting compliments that i pretend not to care about and say i'm unworthy of ;) but deep down.. it makes me all warm and tingly. i'm smiling on the inside.

ryan and i finally got the details of the softball worked out.. so i'm pretty excited. although i'm writing a fat check that i don't have money for.. i hope they don't cash it right away. :P but hopefully we won't suck to bad and maybe even kick ass. go waffles!

and i'm going to see jason mraz tonight. sexy.
