So today I ventured out once more, this time to the Grove. I discovered that I need to find something way better to do with my time then just go shopping... especially when I walk away with nothing. Thank goodness my self restraint in shopping has been better than ever. I keep convincing myself I'm saving up for something... for what you ask, who knows, time will tell. The one thing I did enjoy was that every Anthropologie has the same look and feel and somehow that made me feel at home. What a fun store, I wish I could be in charge of their layout and all their cute ideas.
Then I returned home and took a nap. My first LA nap. Somehow, even though I've been taking it very easy, I've been extremely tired. So this nap felt really really really nice. I woke up, mapquested directions to the Bombay Cafe, where we had Carrie's birthday dinner. I was probably the youngest person at the table, but they were all really nice... that is, the five i could actually hear around me. The dinner was good, but we split the bill so that everyone paid the same, which made my strategic ordering not so strategic. Then the group went to get a drink across the street and then to a karaoke bar. I was highly tempted to join, especially since I was stoked to be conversing with new people, but I have registration early tomorrow morning. :( There are a few things I need to take care of while at FIDM, and I'm hoping it will all go smoothly. Apparently a few people at FIDM still haven't ever heard of the professional designation/SPU transfer, meaning I'll be explaining myself over and over and they'll probably end up calling my admissions advisor to see if I'm telling the truth.
Afterwards, I'm hanging out with my friend Caleb's little sister, Sarah. She seems way sweet and we both need friends. haha. New to the LA area and friendless. cute, take pity. Not really, soon enough I'll make friends through school and hopefully a job, and here and there. I really like Becky and Joseph, Carrie's sister + boyfriend, we chatted at dinner and they invited me along to a party tonight, which was so nice of them. Unfortunately 8am means I need to sleep, but YAY for nice people, especially living next door. It's nice to have good people around.
Off to bed. My parents are still en route, I love them and miss them so much!

Hi Lara,
Well, we can't have you feeling that this is all one-sided now. It's so good to read all about your adventures in LA. I hope once you begin classes you will have time to keep up with it.
It sounds like you've seen some great things so far---and even a star-sighting already. What fun. I'm glad that you have so many places you like that are convenient to walk to also.
Wish I could see where you live. Send pictures when you can. Take care and God bless.
Hugs, Granny Janny
Hey Lara Lingcod!
It's not one sided anymore. Your mom sent us the link!
It's already cold here in WA. I'm wearing my down coat, sleeping with my fluffy down bag, and have turned on the space heaters. But, I'm still managing to wear my flip flops. Hopefully, until October 31 which is my official cut-off date, but it's getting cold fast so I don't know if I'll make it this year. Warm weather sure sounds nice to me!
Walking walking everywhere! I sure wish I could do that here. Take a walk for me sometime and tell me where we went!
How was the school registration today?
Love you to pieces, my little love bug!
mwah!
