| Crazy Dog |
[Nov. 8th, 2006|12:39 am] |
I work at a belgian cafe. We have a patio which everyone likes to sit on. We allow dogs on said patio and house tons of them a day. I love dogs and enjoy having them around work. But, today, I was working and i walked by a certain dog and suddenly it jumped out from under the table and bit my knee! I was so shocked and i jumped back as soon as i realized what was happening and the owners grabbed their dog. My knee was bruised and blood was coming out the teeth marks "Hamlet" (the name of the dog) had left. I wasn't in horrible pain but i went and sat down completely shocked and tended to my wound. It looked kind of bad but i couldn't tell. After work i went to the doctor's and they sent me to the emergency room where i waited 2 and a half hours to see a doctor. They cleaned and bandaged my knee, gave me a tetnis shot and prescribed me some antibiotics. I can't unwrap my knee, or wash it for that matter, for 2 days. Hamlet's owner is dropping off a check for me in the next couple of days at work covering the cost of my emergency room visit. She says Hamlet has all of his shots but my mom wants me to ask her for his medical records. I have to sleep with my leg elevated. Needless to say, it was a very strange day. I just hope the next time there is a full moon i don't turn into a werewolf. |

List five truths. Five things that are on your mind. Good, bad, it matters not. Lift some weight off. Then, pick five people to do the same.
I'm not sure that i really want to do this but i shall try and see what happens...so five truths....hmmm.
1. I am having a terribly difficult time coming to terms with my grandmother's death. I'm not expecting to be over it by now or anything, but i just forgot what it's like to lose a member of your family. It's the absolute worst. Although the way i'm dealing with it is revealing a lot about myself. The last time i experienced a death in the family was when my grandfather died when i was 13. It is a much different experience 10 years later.
2. I miss Kevin and Kristina. Two of my best friends both moved away at the same time to different cities! Now i have to figure out when i can visit New York and Colorado. Better start saving money...
3. I wish i lived closer to my relatives, especially Sol, Randi and my nieces. I miss them. I'm really looking forward to when they come and visit in December.
4. I have become LAZY in my pursuit of acting. I know this. I am going to remedy this problem. I hope that the new improv group i'm a part of will rekindle and jumpstart my inspiration and ambition for performance.
5. I am comfortable in my Barista job at La Pain Quotidien but i don't know how much longer i can stay there because it is not what i want to be doing and it pays pretty poorly. Although the guy who plays "Kyle XY" lives down the street and comes in all the time.... I think he's really cute and look forward to when he comes in. I didn't think he was that cute on TV, but in person, he is quite gorgeous!
Alright, 5 truths! I would love to read other people's who have not done it yet, so I tag:
Sol, Randi, Bonnie(have you already done this?), Miranda and that is all. |

I HATE the LA City Parking Enforcement. They're always after me. I got a parking ticket today at work. it's going to cost me $45. so i basically went to work to earn a parking ticket. it's been so long since i messed up and it was a rookie street sweeping mistake. OH it boils my blood. i could seriously rant for hours about them. they are like the sheriff of nottingham robbing from the poor. but they aren't giving to the rich, they're giving to the cess pool that is LA. it's going to take me awhile to cool off my temper...
in other news mir, gina and i are still looking for a place to live. we really want 3 bedrooms so we can each have our own space but it is difficult to find affordable ones because we want to live in one of the beach towns. i think the perfect place will come along very soon!
i might be going back to Texas again. either at the end of august or the beginning of september. this is such a weird time in my life...very transitional. i can't believe i'm 23 now... |

man it feels like the universe is just mixing things up to see what happens. tomorrow morning at 7:26am mir, gina and i are due to fly to hawaii. then yesterday gina's dad had a heart attack scare(he didn't have one but he has before) and is in the hospital getting tests even as i write. gina is now trying to find a way down to LA by tonight so we can leave in the morning. then i talked to my mom a while ago and my grandmother's condition is worsening and it's looking more and more like she has a very limited time left...in the worst way. we're still going to go to hawaii but man are things strange. hopefully when we get back i can look into getting to texas somehow to visit my grandma. and all this travel when i have pretty much no money! although that seems like the least of my problems right now. but i know it will all be ok eventually and i'll find a way to get where i'm going somehow! now i have to go pack... |

to hawaii! gina and i searched and searched and we got our tickets for just under $400. It could be much worse and we decided that it was better to just go ahead and buy them and lessen the stress in our lives. so yay! i'm officially going to hawaii! i can't wait. but i also need more money. i'm going to go think about my life now... |

...does anyone know of any? we found a somewhat affordable flight but then it filled up too fast. we don't know what to do. we are traveling may 17-24. any information will be appreciated. alright then. i am going to go because my brow is furrowed and the only way to get it down is to eat or drink something delicious and stop staring at the computer screen that i have been staring at too long. oh yeah, i talked to my best friend from preschool today! it was quite strange, it has been at least 15 years. and yes sol it is scotty thompson. we're going to hang out next time i go to fresno. life is circular you know? |

so our whole neighborhood on the wilshire side is blocked off with police tape and police cars. from asking around we have discovered that someone left a suspicious suitcase in front of a business on wilshire. as far as anyone knows it is a bomb. they evacuated the businesses on the street but so far they have not evacuated us. more parts of our neighborhood have been blocked off by police cars and lindsay saw a bomb squad car. so we're just hoping that the bomb squad does a good job! now i am hungry and will eat dinner. |

Today was my last day working at the sheraton delfina! I finished my shift, i said my goodbyes and then i took care of the rest of the paperwork. at that moment bonnie came in who was also taking care of her paperwork for her last day. then bonnie and i were free and we celebrated by going to venice beach and watching the sandpipers run and the crazees walk on glass. Ah what a glorious day.
then i went and saw a UCB show with mir, chris and a bunch of irviners! it was pretty good.
it hasn't quite hit me yet that i won't be going to that hotel all the time. it's so exciting to be moving on to the next thing, whatever that may be. and by the way i just want to remention that i am an aunt twice over. and that is reason enough to celebrate daily! goodnight. |

I'm sure you all saw this update on Miranda's LJ but i wanted to say it on mine. We adopted another kitty! Her name is
Bijou Wendybird Smith. Her first name she actually already had but we thought it was so cute that we decided to keep it. Wendybird is her middle name and we got that from Peter Pan to go along with our other kitty Tiger Lily. And Smith...well that's my last name.
we just got her today so she is far from adjusted to her new home and her and Tiger Lily have only seen each other a couple of times and hissed and growled. but i'm sure they will be friends soon.
and i would love it if you filled this out for me as well!

As stated in the subject title, I am in Austin Texas! We left LA on Saturday morning, spent the night in El Paso, TX saturday night and arrived in austin on christmas at about 6:15pm. When looking at it from this perspective that seems like a relatively short trip. but in the car it seemed a little longer but it was fun!
I was looking forward to a cold and very "christmassy" environment when i got here but it is currently 77 degrees and is supposed to be 80 tomorrow. I should've packed my swimsuit for goodness sake!
We always end up being on the road either christmas eve or christmas or new years and this year it looks like it will be all of the above. our two travel days on the way here were xmas eve and xmas and then we leave for our return trip on new year's day i believe. we opened a couple presents in the car just to make it official. but i still have a few presents waiting at home so that's exciting.
we will hang out in austin tonight and tomorrow afternoon and then it's off to waco to visit my grandmas. I apologize if i don't make complete sense in this entry or if i am gramatically incorrect but i think i still have the car travel version of jet lag. but just remember "the stars at night are big and bright! Deep in the heart of Texas!" |

i am going to drive to fresno tomorrow and the next day go to sacramento to watch gina graduate! there is so much fog in fresno right now so i have to drive during the day. at night sometimes the fog is so thick it's like being in a bog. and i'm not just saying that because the two words rhyme. anyway i should probably go... |

i woke up this morning feeling fine. i got ready for work. i was supposed to be at work at 3 so i left for work at about 2:30. i walked down cloverdale to where i had parked my car the night before...and walked...and walked...only to find my car was gone! I was sure that it had been stolen because it was not a street sweeping day in which i might have been towed. so i proceeded to get upset. i called miranda and we searched more for my car but it was not there.
we were going to search another street and then call the cops. then a falcon landed on the car in front of mir and i. it was just sitting there being a falcon in the middle of LA. so we followed it. it flew and would stop for us to catch up. then it finally landed in a tree right next to our house so mir and i stopped our search and went inside.
mir called the cops because i was kind of in a sad moment. i called my work and explained what was going on. they were very nice and told me to call them back when i knew more. it ended up that my car was towed! i was amazed but relieved that the black dolphin was still mine! i went to pick it up. they said that there were temporary tow signs up, but i didn't ever see those. it cost me $170 dollars to get it out and the car had only been there for 6 hours. then when i got to my car there were a couple of newborn, fresh as a lily parking tickets! those totaled to $90! horray! so they not only towed me for parking in that zone, they ticketed me too! i was frustrated all over again but was trying not to lose it.
mir and i went back to check for the signs and saw no signs anywhere! we got our video camera and filmed the area to prove there were no signs. we ended up finding them on the ground turned upside down underneath a cone. isn't that great! i got towed when the signs weren't even posted or visible. i'm going to try to fight this cost but as they once said to Rocko "you can't fight city hall".
i got home and called into work. they asked if i could still come in. so i got here at like 6:20. they told me i could leave at 11 if i wanted or else i could stay a full 8 hours. i decided to stay the full 8 hours because obviously i could use the money. so i'm here until 2am. it should be pretty relaxed though. but i am mentally exhausted.
so quite an interesting day. but the black dolphin will live on! |

so i'm living in LA.
i was walking down the street earlier today and i ran into someone mir and i knew from monterey- what a small world.
i have run into more people i know here than i ever expected.
i just ate a grape.
kevin, mir and i are about to go to the insomnia cafe.
i have work tomorrow from 8-4am.
i cleaned some of the house today and felt very accomplished, it looks great.
i'm feeling very matter of fact (obviously).
i love the month of October, it is so magical! i can't believe it's already halfway over and it's still between 86 and 90 degrees every day in LA. where are the color changing leaves? where's the electricity in the air? i'm still really happy that halloween is coming up soon regardless of the lack of change in season! it's one of the best holidays! We already bought one pumpkin and a welcome halloween thing for our door. oh yeah.
here is a picture of the housemates on miracle mile. i love my housemates!
