Many people didn't know this but I spent the last weekend in Boston with Brian. It was awesome! I got to meet a lot of very cool people (and resee some old friends of my own). I really liked Brian's friends, they were all very funny and hospitable.
Boston itself was super cool. I liked the architecture and how easy it felt. It's a welcoming city in the way that you don't have to feel too awkward just being plopped in the middle of it-- it's small enough to get a very easy understanding of and seems very straightforward. And hell, it was wintery-- well, at least fallish. It was chilly and I wore a coat and there was rain. And I cannot deny my love of any place with Dunkin Donuts -- and so many of them.

And that leads me to regret being home. At least a little. Los Angeles is hot (80s today), and dry and bright and I like that a lot, some of the time. Also, I have no job.
I can't describe that stress.

California Unemployment is fucking with me hardcore. They refuse to see a lot of the jobs I've had, I don't have all my paystubs (packed, for moving, I hope they're at Brian's. I believe my Important Documents box is there, so I'll have to check next time I go over, but ugh, the stress in the meantime) to say exactly when I was employed and, more notable, the wages I earned during those periods. They seem to completely be ignoring my wages from Titmouse and Animax. They are also not sending forms on time for me to send back, so I cannot receive checks from them, and I keep telling myself it'll be okay, it'll be okay, it'll be okay. But I definitely have a fear that no, it won't be okay. No studios are hiring. What am I supposed to do? I suppose if Unemployment keeps fucking with me and no studios are hiring I can get a crappy job, but I definitely can't get my own place on those kind of wages-- and I can't stay in Vicky and Karin and Caitlin's apartment forever.
It sucks to know that you're kind of stuck. If I get a low paying random job -- I won't get unemployment, and what I do get will severely be diminished. But unemployment is not favouring me right now. Nor are the jobs I want/need. My skill sets are not varied enough for more-- though I plan to do more art/3D animation and stuff at home now. I just need to relax again-- it sucks to come home from a really wonderful vacation and have a lot of issues plop down on you at once.

Ughhhhh.

Needless to say, I'm under a lot of pressure here and it's hard for me to be good. When I'm under pressure I tend to want to escape -- video games, books. I know the current job market is doing this, and it's not me, but aowehrajkwehr talent wtf.

Brian is awesome, though. I can't describe how easy our relationship is.

Now, come on life, get back in order so I can truly enjoy everything.

Well it's 9 AM on Monday morning, I woke up at nearly 7 (even though I went to sleep at nearly 3) because I was worried about my kitty.  I got home last night and couldn't find him-- he had disappeared!  But come morning he apparently got hungry enough to come back..... out of Karin's room.  Which is kind of messy so it was hard to find him.

I'm very happy he's okay.

As for a real update.... I haven't had any luck finding work.  I haven't really looked since contacting the groups of people I know though-- I've been too busy moving from my apartment into my friend's apartment.  Most of my stuff is at Karin, Vicky, and Caitlin's.  Some of my stuff is at Brian's.  They've all been generous enough to let me stay with them and I really appreciate it.

In the meantime, I've done a lot of fashion stuff.  Photoshoots for ICON international and with a photographer named Chanel.  Both were awesome and I'm looking forward to seeing photos.  Also did two fashion shows-- Cassie Bett's Bridal Couture and Tristan + Trista for a super real fashion week event that was aweeesoooome.  

Besides that it's mainly been hanging out with friends and Brian.  We're doing well and I <3 him quite a lot.  We were Scully and Mulder for Halloween, and I can't say I was terribly convincing.  Really, probably neither of us were, but it was fun.  

I think things are starting to settle down and grow better. :) By a lot, actually,.  Now... if only I could get a job and an apartment, hah!

OH OH OH BUT
at my fashion show Brian was talking to people and may have gotten me a chance with an agency.  We shall see.  If I acredit my becoming a "real" model to Brian I akehrakwjher will owe him for life.
With my love.

 

Anyway, photo time!

Sometimes it's better not to know things, maybe.  Or not know things.  Or wonder things.  I'm a chronic wonderer and I never come to good conclusions.  I discover too much too easy (I know the internet far too well).  

Meanwhile-- friends:  I'm moving in wtih friends as I am jobless and cannot afford my own place in LA.  It hopefully is temporary.  I'm supposed to go to Boston with Brian next month and I'm excited to see Ben and my friend Jenny.  I don't know if anyone else is in Boston.  I'm bad at this.

I'm trying not to be too depressed generally lately.  But I'm kind of failing.  Brian helps me feel better, but I don't want him to assign that task to himself.   At the same time, not really sure how to avoid it.  I'm not crazy, I just have to suffer the consequences of crazy circumstances that surround me.  

I don't think I want to be a redhead anymore.

I am the lamest. [Sep. 25th, 2009|11:14 am]

 I'm starting to look more and more forward to moving out on my own into my own house and starting a new chapter of my life.  

There are things that I want and I have to prove myself to Titmouse and other companies so I can have continuous income so I can have those things (IE, single bedroom apartment, my furniture from my parents, decorations, a nice place to live, and maybe a manicure and a few more dresses.  Also to be able to serve Brian yummy dinners without feeling like I need to pinch my pennies afterwards would be nice).  

I need to find a dress for the wedding, visit my friend Andrea, find an apartment to live in, make the monies, do my laundry, hang out with my girlfriends, and eat a fucking cheeseburger.  And I want one very badly.

I am watching too much TV, hah!  I doubt i'll even have cable when I move-- I don't own a television.  Sigh!  What will I play video games on??

My imagination??

I want to learn to make/do things/ and probably become more indie when I do.  I WANT A SEWING MACHINE.  Anyone in CO have an old one they want to sell me for cheaper than a new one that also is a pretty awesome sewing machine for someone of my skill level (lame skillz?)

It'd be nice if it can do buttons.  But I can, if it can't.  Mwahahaha.

I want to make Sarah and feather headband.  Does anyone else want one?

Also my seven degrees of separation gets smaller.   A guy at the office (I think Chris' assistant??) walks up to me and goes, I saw you at Theater Asylum the other day! And I was like, yeah I went to see that show, and he was like I went to school with all of them how do you know them? And I was like my fri-- my boyfriend did the lights!  And he was like oh Brian is your boyfriend?  And I turned crimson.  Or as crimson as I get, which is noncrimson and more like just feeling like I'm blushing.  

I keep finding people on facebook who are connected to other people I know on facebook through one core person and it both amuses and confuses me.  Oh man!

I'm talking about nothing now, aren't I?  Man, I'm boring.  Sewing machine plz??

My eyes are puffy from crying and then not sleeping because I have all the work and then also because Jeff called and we talked and talked and cried and talked. To no avail, otherwise to know that he doesn't hate me for seeing the boy and he also is hurt and he also still loves me and he also still can't be with me.

But it's like, I guess moving on, I don't know. It hurts a lot, but we know that. I wish my eyes didn't burn. Everything in my life is going really well I guess? But I can't help but be an emo angst bucket sometimes still. Damn you heart, get out of my chest, I'm through with you.

Is it bad that a part of me is like, man, fuck romance?

@ the same time (yes, I used an at symbol, suck it) I totally made dinner last night for B-rock and I and it was the tastiest thing I've made in a long time. I wish I had some more now.

Going to see the broski in San Diego on Sunday. :) I'm excited!

They've given me this killer shot to work on at work (granted my last day was Friday but it was SUCH A LONG SHOT they were like, ok, take it home) and it has thus ruined my weekend.

I have spent much time working on these 109 seconds ALL BY MY LONESOME and I am SO TIRED OF IT. I am excited to start at Titmouse tomorrow. I'm supposed to go see the Killers (hell yeah!!) tonight in Santa Barbara with Tall Matt.

I really wish that this job with Titmouse was longer than it is because I have not heard of ANYTHING starting up afterwards. Maybe I can get the Mighty B crew to let me back on after their hiatus is up. Hahaha. Animax has said they will always welcome me but they SCREWED ME WITH THIS SCENE GARGH. But I did like the peeps. They were good peeps.

Today's list: FINISH THIS SHOT PLZ. Get perfume. Get free panties (VS coupons for the win!). See The Killers (hopefully, if I finish this shot plz).

I drink my cinnamon spice coffee and stare at you flash and wish you'd make yourself work and give my tired coughing brain a break.

Oh yeah and I went and saw 9 and it wasn't very good.

I have cheered up considerably. Like an aries/myself/whatever I have moved my prospects onto other interests. I am the ultimate fire sign. Roar?

I have to clean my room apartment tomorrow because ANDREA IS COMING TO VISIT ME YAYY!Y!YAYAY!YAYY!!!!

We are going to nerd it out and watch... well, I dunno, 500 days of summer, maybe. And maybe do karaoke, and I will make her nomnoms, and she and I will do a draw off and I AM SO EXCITED.

Hurrray. :D :D :D

waking up after dreaming about being together is the worst. I think if I were more trusting this would also not have happened. I will work on that.

I want him to take his time. But it's making me miserable because I want to have the good times with him, and I am learning what really makes us work and will help us along. I don't know why he is so semi-convinced it has to be quits.

I don't know, I don't know.

All I do know is I love him and he is my one. I think I'm okay but it might just be a brave front.

you will probably not read this, but i love you.

Jeff is at it again. I can't describe what it is that we go through... he has a lot of commitment issues, I believe. It makes it hard for him to figure out what he wants. As of right now we're giving each other space for an indefinite amount of time. I am hoping it doesn't last too long. despite wanting to go see the movie in the park with him tonight, despite wanting to do karaoke with him tomorrow, despite wanting to go see Jack Black with him on Friday, despite wanting to hang out with him and his sister and go to a BBQ and spend every moment with him enjoying his presence, we do tend to have this happen.

Logically, at this point, I know I should walk away.

I can't tell you how much I don't think that's the right thing to do. I know everyone says that it is, but I've walked away from shit before and I know... when it's a lost cause, I think. And I worry, sometimes, that I'm misleading myself because of my love and affection for Jeff, but I really, truly believe this is not a lost cause. There are parts of me that wonder if perhaps over a significant amount of time, say a year or so, he'll come to realize how he feels. That may happen and we may break it off completely in the next week or so. Personally, I hope not... I know he has trouble committing to me and I know that I deserve someone who will. I think I also deserve what I believe will make me happiest, and I'm fine with struggling to have what I want. My mom says its destroying me, and she may be right. I disappointingly thought of the end of my life this morning.

don't worry, it's not a serious thought.

It's not that I'm unhappy with anything else in my life. I enjoy what I do, I'm doing well, I enjoy my age and my friends and the things we do and our activities, I just enjoy everything a lot more with Jeff by my side. While I don't need him to feel like my life has meaning, he also brings a lot of meaning to my life. I know one person shouldn't be this for, and it's hard to describe the complex emotions I have for him.

anyway, I'm not walking yet. However, I am going to pursue other interests and cry while singing Damien Rice songs. He said he is doesn't know how likely it is that we will actually be together, but he did agree to try this distance while waiting for the final blow method as opposed to just saying, this is it, there's no coming back.

Unfortunately, and I hate to say it, he will always be allowed back into my heart. I can't imagine loving anyone more than him, because he and I click so perfectly and I admire him in so many ways. If we do end up together, I think I understand a few things I should do differently already.

I am taking this much better than the last time. But it still hurts like a bitch. Sorry, friends list.

OTHER THAN LEELOO. WOOOO.

But seriously. Sigh. I'd like some other costumes. I wish I could've gotten Jeff to be Gambit to my Rogue. :O
