Wednesday

So I have positive feelings about this move, but I'm feeling like a bit of a homebody today. My parents dropped in to say goodbye, tears were shed... but it's only 4 weeks until I see them again! It's super hot still, I don't think it's cooled down one bit, which is a world of difference from Seattle. I'm usually decked out in sweaters and scarves by October, or at least anticipating the cold weather's arrival. Here I feel like I need to do summer shopping, yet all the stores have fall clothing... i'm confused. Most places are in fact air conditioned, so I guess you can choose what you wear based on that.

My room could use some help decor wise, I have a few things up and it looks nice, but i have yet to be inspired for a full transformation. Also, I don't feel like spending the money, even on cheap items. This is when I get crafty and start making things out of grocery store paper bags.

I went looking for the thrift store today and ended up just going to the Beverly Center. Normally I'm stoked on H&M clothing, but for some reason it was lack luster. I think maybe now that it's accessible, I know I can come back, if I leave still thinking about that 'one item'. This did not happen, I just walked around and realized I had no money to spend, went to the parking lot and drove home to eat dinner.

Tomorrow, I think I will do some walking. I need to get a detailed map for my car, just in case. There are a bunch of fun stores on Fairfax and La Brea and Beverly, but it doesn't look like there's any parking at all. So if I walk, it's excersize!

This is probably going to be the hardest thing I've ever done. I thrive off people, off of spending time with my friends, befriending people, just being all around social. The few people I know in LA, are conveniently outside the city. I know they'll be back, but I want a sense of normalcy now. When I find out where the church I want to go to is meeting I'm going to jump on that, I want community. Good community. I have pretty good conversation with the checkers at the grocery store, but I can't call them to go hang out.

I'm going to cut my hair, I know, that's nothing new. But I need something fun, and that always lifts my spirits. I just have to find a place to go that I can trust like I do my previous hairdressers.

The lame thing about a blog is that it is all one-sided. I want to know what other people are doing and how seattle life is. LA is nice, how's Seattle? I'm also hesitant about calling people, not for any reason but that I feel guilty like I should be out covering pavement, figuring this place out.

ho hum.
