finally.

i get to write. it's not like i don't write in other things at other times, but i need to get things out in here sometimes too. anyways, if you read my post from yesterday, you realize that i have a lot to say, and have been feeling short on time to say it, at least in this medium. i think i'll go through that list of things and talk briefly about those. then again, i don't know how brief i will actually be. so bear with me.

ready go.

i got danielle to go with me and see sherwood thursday night in hollywood. it was a very good time. not only did i get to see sherwood for the 3rd time in 15 days, but i got to spend time with danielle again, and that was awesome. i haven't really spent time with her in about a year, and it was great to be able to talk to her and hang out, and nothing was odd or weird, and it was so much fun. i've really missed hanging out with her, and the drive back from the concert could not have been more funny. i even ate at mcdonalds again, the first time since my return to california. of course at 11pm there aren't many options either. the concert itself was again so much fun, and another completely different atmosphere. the majority of the people there were there to see daphne loves derby, so it was interesting seeing them get into a band that they'd never really heard before. it was also fun because i finally worked up the courage to meet someone from the band. i met dan on the way to the merch table to get a t-shirt for my dad, cause he really likes them too. dan was actually in my way, which after he introduced himself, and i did the same, he realized. so, it actually sort of just happened, but still, at least it happened, and i can say that i wasn't such a huge chicken that even when i bumped into one of the members i didn't meet them. next!

oh, okay, so my birthday was over a month ago, right? well it was, but my parents still had one gift up their sleeve for me, and it is awesome. it's a light up palm tree for my room next year and i am way stoked. i was going to get an inflatable one, but i have something way better now. also, danielle spent the majority of the last four months in italy, and even though we haven't hung out in so long she still thought of me and got me this really sweet ring from venice. it's a big chunky glass ring that is an interesting yellow color with blue spots. she said that she saw it and thought of me. the best part is that it actually fits my fat fingers, which i found difficult to believe, but am so happy that it did.

last night i was so unsure about working at underwoods. my first day of training was "eh," and my second day, that was more real work pretty much sucked. i had really mixed feelings about working there at all, and those made me REALLY REALLY REALLY not want to go into work today. however, i knew that i had to suck it up and go and try it out a bit longer, and it ended up not being too bad. today went really well actually. i'm surprised at how much i know already, and i so much prefer working when it's busy to when it's slow. i find it easier actually.

i'm not entirely sure how much i want to talk about this next thing, but i suppose i can say it briefly. i have a couple of blogs that i really enjoy reading. i stopped reading one of them for a week, just to see what i would think of it after a week away from it, and it only made me realize that i love to read this persons writing. they could talk about anything, and i would eat it out of a spoon. i don't know what it is, i just love it. oh, and i doubt anyone actually knows what blog i'm talking about, and for now i prefer to have it that way.

reading that person's blog, has somewhat inspired me to go back and read some of my old entries, and i have had so much fun doing that. i think that i'm actually pretty funny, and that my stories are amusing. then again, i lived out them, and that makes a difference, but i do hope that someone reading this who doesn't know me (i doubt there are any of those people though) would find it amusing and interesting in a boring way to read. there's still stuff that i'm sure that i'd like to write about, but i don't want to force the issue, and if i'm supposed to write about it then the opportunity will arise again, and it will be written about. i'll make note of it in the future, so stay tuned.

i hate drama, and i have been lucky enough in my life to not be involved in it. that can't be said for some of my friends though. yesterday i spent almost 2 hours on the phone with 2 friends about the same housing issue. it was exhausting, because there weren't any easy options in the whole thing, and there wasn't anything that i could do for them to help the situation. plus, i think that it got talked out a little too much in some cases. since then, more drama has arisen, only to have subsided with an agreement that should make everyone happy. at least for now. i'm relieved, and if i'm relieved, then my friends must be even more so.

oh my, i am tired. i'm also glad that i have gotten everything out that i wanted to. i have all these things that i want to say and i feel like i try to cram everything in as quickly as possible, and it becomes muddled and odd. luckily, i feel that this all turned out well. there was something else that i wanted to say, but it has escaped me at the moment. oh! now i remember. i am a little disappointed that once i have posted this entry, one of my favorite entries will pass on to be not visible and only under the link of "may 2006." it's called "insecurities are funny" and there is something about that entry that i do love. so if you haven't read it, please do.

i looked out the window earlier and saw the moon between the cracks in the curtain, and it made me smile. i love the moon.

there. it's all out there now.
