california license

so i spent all day at the dmv, took a test that you can only miss 6/36 questions and passed only missing 2!! whoo hoo! which means that i will get my california license in two weeks!! i am excited!! that means i'm officially a californian!! i'm soooo glad that i passed too because if you fail it three times you have to pay another $28 to take it again and i don't have that kind of moola or time to be spending at the dmv!!

i had a great weekend with the boys. we had a good friday night. tory had to do work all day on saturday, but the boys were nice enough to invite me to go to the beach with them. needless to say it was a great day! it was weird being on a beach and being more cold than hot. it was fun.

sunday was a good day because tory, steve, and myself just hung out all day and took it easy. it's always nice when tory has a day off because he rarely has any!

i'm pretty pumped about starting my job tomorrow!! i can't wait and i hope i meet a lot of cool, nice, and fun people that i can start to hang out with!! yaaaay work!!

and a place to live in august!

whoo hoo!! i got a job and a place to live for august! i am pumped! the place is in an apartment, pretty cozy, in a nice area. i have my own room for only $525/month so that is awesome!!! it is very rare to find a place where you get your own room for that cheap! i'll be living with three other people two girls and a guy. i think the guy one of the girl's boyfriend and he is pretty quiet, so i think it will be good. they're all pretty quiet and keep to themselves for the most part so i think it will be a good fit!

i made hummus and beer cheese last night in tory's food processor. it was mighty tasty if i do say. i went on a walk today and took lots of pictures that will hopefully be up on facebook here in a wee bit. i think tonight steve, phil, tory, and myself are going to go and do their friday night tradition thing. i think it should be a good time! at least i have something to celebrate!! whoo hoo!! it feels good to have a place to live and a job now!

i got a job!!!

i got a job at jupiter's!!! i'm so excited!! i think i will start sometime next week which is snazzy! i can't wait!!! i already celebrated and got frozen yogurt at this place called yogurtland. it is the best place in the world. they have a bunch of different frozen yogurt's that you choose from and then you get to choose toppings! it is sooo good. today i got dutch chocolate and madagascar vanilla with brownie bites, chocolate chip cookie dough bites, resees cups, and i think that's it. but it is awesome because it is also 30 cents/ounce! so mine was like $2.50! pretty awesome! i figured i should treat myself :)

yahoooooooooooooo i am so excited! i finally have a job! and he said that i will start out hostessing and then depending on how fast i catch on i can work up to food running and then maybe even bar backing at one point! so that is awesome. i think he wants me to work more than just a few nights a week so that is awesome!!! during the interview he said he was "getting a good vibe" from me.. hahaha! that must be the way the californian's interview.

good day!

yesterday was a good day! i have an interview at this awesome place to eat today at 2pm to work as a hostess. which i think will be a nice change from having to wait on people, and i'm sure after a bit i could serve if i really wanted to. so, hopefully we'll see how the interview goes today! here is the website for the place: http://www.jupiterbeer.com/jupiter/ it's pretty snazzy, they have their own beer garden and everything. i think it would definitely be a fun place to work!

i got a bike yesterday. it's a little old, but i think it will get me around places once i move down the hill in august. it was only $40, so i figured why not?

today is 16 months for me and tory. pretty crazzzzy stuff! it's flown by! last night we went to an oakland a's game vs. san fran. it was fun, besides the fact that oakland lost. tory and i went with steve (his roomie), phil, and ben. they are all fun guys!

i have an appointment tonight at 7pm to look at another room that would only be $525/month. i hope i like it and can get it if i do!!

uhh

well, i went to look at that room on saturday and it was really nice. i would be living with a girl in a wheelchair that i think has some kind of handicap. she has a placemat on her wheelchair that she points to different things that make sentences. it would be something different, that's for sure. her parents are the landlords and a super nice older couple. the location is pretty nice in a quieter street that's closer to everything. it's not like i need to be on campus anywho. so, i have to tell them by wednesday if i'm going to take it and i think i will. it's $600/month, which i think is the best price i'm going to find in order to have my own room. any opinions?

i would really love a gym membership to some place here. i can feel the pounds growing onto my body and it is gross. even if i walk everywhere, i still don't think i burn off more calories than i eat because i am constantly snacking because i don't have a job or anything else to do! bah! i need a job. i really hope that i get one soon. i'm getting bored of doing nothing.

i'm glad tory is back!

wide open weekend

well this past week has been crazy with helping with tory's shoot and all that jazz. we had a lot of 12-15 hour days, which was pretty crazy. but it's good that he has 3 episodes behind him. everyone on the crew and set were really nice so that made it fun. tory went home to kentucky yesterday, so i am in california causing trouble! haha, not really. but it will be interesting to see how a weekend goes without tory. it's nice though that i won't see him for a weekend versus 3-4 months, definitely better. i wish i was going to the big party this weekend in kentucky. i will miss it!!

the job hunt is going, but still haven't had much luck. i meet with a lady next monday, the 29th to discuss job stuff. sooo hopefully she will have some options lined up for us, but i guess we will see. i'm still applying to places, so i guess we will see.

i'm going to go look at a room in a house tomorrow morning at like 10am. i think i would be living with an older married couple who are renting out a room so that could be nice. i don't know, i guess we will see if they want to put up with me! it's in a pretty good location so it would be nice if i could stop looking for a place to live! i am ready to have my own room though, that's for sure. my roommate's boyfriend spends the night in our little dorm room style room and he snores. last night i had to put in ear plugs it was so bad. merr. not cool at all.

i'm gonna go and watch the movie the hangover here in a wee bit with my two chick friends, erin and christina. that should be fun. i think we're gonna hang out with tory's roommate, steve and another friend phil tonight.

i need to find somewhere to move tory's car that's not two hour parking. merr. i drove on the highway last night after dropping tory off at the airport. i think i can now say that i am officially a californian. it was sorta scary. i really did feel like the scene in clueless when they freak out because they get on the highway, hahaha. oh man. but, i'm starting to think that driving around here might not be so bad. when i first came to visit i didn't think i would ever be able to drive here, but i am doing fine. so, that's good!

it still hasn't rained since i've gotten here. that's pretty suhhhweet. i looove the sunshine :) well, i'm gonna go get some things done before the moovie! i hope everyone is doing good! miss you all!!

yiiiiikes

i'm not going to be able to update for about a week. so, i figured i would update now.

i didn't get the apartment for $500 so that sorta sucks because that was the best deal i have been able to find. merr.

i went to san fran a couple days ago with this chick named erin. she is fun to hang out with and i feel like i've known her for years. i can be really weird around her and she just laughs, so that's cool. we had a good time.

i've been trying to help with tory and scott's webseries thingy. they start shooting tomorrow like all day everyday until this upcoming wednesday. i'm excited! i think it will be fun and i am ready to work and do something productive! i've been making pizza costumes, i hope they turn out okie dokie! well, i need to start sewing again!

i hope everyone is doing good!!

yahoozle

well it's sunday and i have no plans except to go to the library and extend my library card so i can check out more than one book at a time. my library card is tie-dye, pretty awesome. then after that i think i'm going to go read a book on campus. it's such a pretttttty day, i have to spend it outside! tory is location scouting and spending some quality time with scott for the day.

yesterday was fun. tory had a day off so we went to a park with z and had a picnic! we took some good pictures that i'll have to put up soon!

everything is going really good here. i love it here. it's nice to finally find a place that i am happy. i love walking everywhere and being without a car. it's very freeing. i hope i find a job sometime soon though because doing nothing is sort of becoming a little boring, and i need to make some mooooney.

i'm going to meet some girls tomorrow about moving in with them in august. rent is $500 and i would have my own room. hopefully it will go okie dokie and they will like me because this is the best place i have found. one guy called me yesterday to ask if i was still looking for a place, continued to ask if i would be okay if he walked around naked, and then asked if it would be okay if he masturbated in front of me. needless to say, i hung up promptly. woof.

well, i guess i better get moving. have a good day!

day one!

well today has been fun, besides the fact that i am starving and have no food yet!

i moved into the barrow's house. it's pretty snazy, but i have yet to find a coffee maker! right now i'm waiting on some laundry to get done.

i went to goodwill and got some sheets and a towel. went to cvs to get some laundry detergent, shampoo, and conditioner. but while i was standing in line this guy asked me how much the detergent was and i told him $6 and he told me to go to the dollar store two blocks down instead to get all that stuff, so i did! needless to say, i had a very difficult 20 minute walk back to my place. i thought i was going to die going up all the hills with two heavy bags in my hands, but i made it!

it's beeeeautiful outside. it's somewhat cold compared to the 80 degrees in lou, but it's nice and warm when you're in the sun. it doesn't really get sunny until about noon though, which i think is funny. i'm pretty much moved in, i just need to get some hangers to hang up all my clothes!

i am so hungry! after my laundry gets done and i can take a shower, i think i will venture back out. get some foooood. i think tomorrow i will venture out, get a checking account, and go to the berkeley career center and see if they will help me even though i am not a student!
