October

Life. My best friend is having a baby. I got the flu. Durango got snow early. I was in the tamest zombie march probably in the history of man and didn't get to go the the transvestites ball like I'd been planning for months. Atleast work is steady and I haven't seen the Ex in a good month or so. He called this morning to "make sure I was still living in my apartment". Aparently some of my magizines are still being delivered to his place and he though it was important that I got them. I found them at my door this morning, it was all junk mail. I've seen some good shows at the summit. Warsaw played earlier in the month and last week I saw Freeman Social and In A Day. This Wednesday my friend Roland is playing. I've been practicing Finnish and Last Saturday I met a girl from school who is an exchange student from finland. She talks so fast, I'll have to study harder so I can have a conversation with her.

I've been reading the Twilight series. I finished the fourth book 4 days ago. They were interesting. I finished Women of Sand and Myrrh by Hanan al-Shaykh. I would have underlined the book title, but I can't figure out how. I think I'll start reading MOMO by Michael Ende.

I've was enjoying the feeling of life creeping by slow for the last week. But now I feel like I'm stuck in pause. Nowhere to go, nothing to discover, just work and sitting in my little room. I feel like I have to push to break even. I was up until 1 a.m. this morning cleaning my apartment kitchen because I thought it would break me out of limbo. My apartment smells better but I'm still on pause. I wrote a 2 page To Do list in my pocket moleskine journal and have been checking things off daily so I can prove I'm doing stuff. I'm not sure what the next step is.

Beginning September.

I dyed my hair last week. Today I got my usual cup of coffee from Magpies and paid a visit to Maria's Bookshop. I got a book about Finland and a blank book to write in. I've decided to fill it with poems. I've even christened it with a pasta sauce stain on the second page. I made an origami lotus flower. I'll upload a picture with this post.

I went to a nice dinner party on Saturday. I also went to a not so exciting kegger on Monday night. I took advantage of the books sales going on at the local thrift stores and got a huge pile for $1.00. I also found a backpack, a new scarf, and a 4 oz flask. I've been listening to a lot of trance music lately. I need to buy a stamp in the morning. I finished reading the book I bought in L.A. and discovered there is a second book in the series with book #3 being released in Sept. 2009. B told me he might be moving back to Longmont soon. I ran into an old friend on the street today. Lost his cell number but I'm sure we'll see each other again. My plan to read in the park this afternoon turned into reading in my room since the rain was cold and pouring down moderately. I enjoyed having a 3 day weekend but am not sure when my next day off is. I am enjoying my new job. I was walking home last night down main street and saw some new grafitti.

I've noticed the time posted for my blog entries is on pacific time and I'm not finding a way to change it.

12:01 a.m.

I worked a closing shift tonight and am finding it hard to sleep.
I dreamt about about the beach the other night.
My tea is cold.
For the last week I've gotten up early enough to walk down to a small coffee shop and get a small cup of their daily regular.
It costs about $1.25 but it's filling.
Then I look up new bands on Youtube.
Nothing exciting yet.
One of my favorite bands is releasing a new album in September.
The T.V. is broken but it doesn't surprise me, it's older than I am.

I redecorated my room.

It's always a work in progress kind of thing.
I regret letting my ex boyfirend keep my guitar, I've been feeling the urge to practice. Oh well, I've always wanted to play the drums anyhow.
I thought about getting a second job or volunteering someplace.
I like having free time more though.
If my car starts on Sunday I'll make a donation of some junk I'm purging.
I have a bunch of voicemails on my phone but I haven't answered them yet.
Thank god tomorrow's pay day, I'm out of redbull.
Good morning.

Hello World!

Hi! I'm E. I'm currently traveling in the southern California area. I saw Hollywood today, and got to experience traffic on a freeway. Last Monday I spent all day at Seaworld. I've visited a few beaches too. Last Sunday was Ocean Beach, followed by a brief drive through San Diego and the Gas Lamp District. Then on Tuesday there was Solana Beach for the tide pools and also a local beach which I can't name. On Thursday I walked around Venice Beach for a few hours purchasing some keepsakes to bring home. Tomorrow will probably be a rest for my friend and I Since we have a morning flight to catch on Sunday. What a week!! I hope this will be the first of many awesome trips.
