It's been a while since I've signed into this thing, but when did xanga try to be like facebook?? Anyways, I decided to follow suit with Kim and write a Thanksgiving list of my own. Plus, whenever I'm upset, my mom would always tell me to stop what I'm doing and start writing a list of everything I am thankful for. It works every time. So here it is...
I am Thankful for (in no particular order of course...except for the first one)....
1. My friends and family, who are some of the most supportive, hard-working, AMAZING people I have ever and will ever know. Especially my parents....they're the best.* *(Side note: Ever since I moved to ny, meeting people has never been the same. Sure I'm meeting a lot of people, but none of them match up to my friends back home. A lot of them are boring and just lack substance. And I never realized how hard it is to find people with the same sense of humor as me. Out here, it's all about "networking." What happened to just meeting people? No wonder why nobody stays in nyc. People just come and go in this city.)
2. My dog, Rocky. I miss that guy SO much. It's never been the same without him. Life is so much harder! Lol.
3. The opportunities I've been given. Even though things aren't going exactly according to plan, I'm still glad to be where I am. Plus, what would life be like if you didn't have any hard times? A lot easier I guess....hahaa.
4. TV and Internet. Since I don't have a tv at the moment, the internet has saved my life!!! I seriously don't know what I would do without it. I was able to catch up on all my Ugly Betty episodes!
5. Ugly Betty. Only the best tv show ever! Hahaa. I really think this show has the best characters on it. I love Marc and Amanda! And I want my own Daniel Meade one day!! To work for that is...
6. Mexican food and In-N-Out. New Yorkers have NO idea what they're missing out on. So there's something called the "Shake Shack" out here and it's like their version of In-N-Out, but it doesn't even come close!!!! I mean, I'll admit, the fries are pretty scrumptious, but the burger? No way. And I refuse to eat Mexican food out here. It's just NOT the same. I can't wait to go to El Taurino when I go home!! And even Del Taco for that matter.
7. My Crack-- I mean, Blackberry. I don't care what you all think of them, but this thing has saved my life many a time!!
8. MacBooks/laptops. One of the greatest inventions ever! The built-in webcam and wireless internet? GENIUS.
9. Chocolate. It's been my comfort the past few months. Especially the scone-like chocolate chip cookies at Levaine's...to die for!!! Yeah, I'm becoming a real fatass in this state of mine.
10. Disneyland/California. There's just no place like it. California really is great isn't it? I mean, you get the best weather out there, you have the beaches AND the mountains, and not only that, but NorCal and SoCal are completely different. It's like a country in itself! And it has Disneyland, one of the most magical places ever, where you can just go and be a kid again. You can't beat that.
11. Cars. I miss mine. Sure it sucks driving in typical so cal traffic, but there's something about that solitude. Being able to just listen to your music in the privacy of your own car. Not having to rub shoulders with a complete stranger or wondering what the hell that smell is.
12. Apple. For letting me "borrow" her internet so that I can write this entry. Kekekee.
I canNOT believe I am moving to NYC in a couple days. It still hasn't quite hit me yet. And honestly, I don't think it'll really sink in until I'm actually there....getting lost, trying to figure out which subway to take, or being dirt poor because rent is so ridiculously high, or freezing my ass off because I'm not used to the cold. It's going to be great....and miserable all at the same time. The thing is, no matter how scared or nervous or anxious I am, it just feels right. And that's the bottom line. I'll be honest....I don't know when I'll be back. I mean, I'll be home for Christmas and to visit in between, but all in all, I have no idea. One thing I know for sure is, California will always be my home. There's just no comparison. And I know some of you think that I'll never be back, but I know I will....because I'm going to miss it here...A LOT.
I highly recommend that all of you guys watch this. It's a little more than an hour long, but it's soooo worth watching. Randy Pausch: Inspirational GENIUS.
It's a vicious cycle. I moved out to LA for work (the only reason I'd move out there in the first place) and now I'm just trying to make things work. Endless amounts of bills, now there's rent, and I have to pay it all off with a job that certainly does not pay enough. Yeah, yeah, "welcome to the real world" you say, but this isn't it for me. Like I told Frances, this is just something we all need to do. Something to add to our good ol' resumes. It's extremely rare that anyone finds a job that'll pay enough right off the bat, but I'm all about starting from the bottom anyway. It just sucks when you know that this isn't what you're going to do forever. I need more than that. I mean, I'm totally grateful and I love what I'm doing at the moment, but it's kinda like grunt work you know? Or it's like...being stuck. I can't help thinking, "I'm meant to be more than this. Just another year of this stuff and then onto the next big step." I'm sure a lot of you totally understand what I mean. This whole "out of college, first real job" experience. It doesn't really suck...but...you know....it's just something we all have to do. I hope you guys don't think I'm complaining or anything because I'm totally grateful and I know that this is where I'm meant to be....but just at the moment....not forever.
So anyways, work has its perks....like riding in a Bentley for the first (and probably only) time, or being filmed for my boss' reality/makeover show for E! network, or clients bringing me gifts every once in a while. But this is Beverly Hills. And no matter how much Chanel some people wear....they'll just never have class.
