Commmmmmmute!

Today’s commute = 3.5 hours… Total time in my car today: 6.5 hours. Total Miles driven = 145.

I took me 2.5 hours to get from SM back to AV today. It only took me an hour this morning to get from AV up to SM. This is insane, fucking LA traffic! Stupid drivers! I’m carpooling tomorrow with someone, thank god! I’m hoping I can get an apartment close enough to work that I can walk/bike or get a scooter.. Go Vespa!

Looked at 10 places today. Only 3 of them are worth considering. 2 of them don’t have any parking (Street only) and the last one is a small studio for $1300.. Way too much. Lots of stuff is coming avaliable in Westwood (omg, hot boys!)

I got news today. I _AM_ for 100% sure moving to Santa Monica. But not in the capacity I wanted/was hoping for. The idiot PM gave the job to some one else. (Apparently a bad move acording to my sources). They purchased me a new computer today, to satisfy my annoyance. And also guaranteed a pay increase equivalent to cost of living increase. I just have to call and OK the cost of living before signing the lease. I’m going to schedule a meeting with the CEO/VP’s early Friday morning to discuss my role in the company. As I’ve got a feeling it’s not really thought out too well, and I want to be sure there’s a place for me before making this move. Altough the VP’s have both expressed high regard for my work, it just feels like they aren’t sure where to place me long term.

I really want a roommate. Someone, anyone?! Robert and I are spending the whole day Friday up in SM/WeHo/Valley. I will sign a lease that day. I hope… ::crosses fingers::

I’ve been getting a feeling that Dustin is avoiding me… though he did call today to confirm we were still on for Friday. So I guess that’s a good sign.

Adios.

Welcome to AJAX!

Welcome to the world of Ajax! 🙂

I hope you all love the new theme as much as I do. 🙂

There’s some annoying bugs with it yet. Such as the damn Date/Time on Comments don’t work and the damn Time on the posts don’t work. But I can live with those till I have more time.

Up to Santa Monica tomorrow and Pamono tonight. Adios!

What am I doing?

Really, what am I doing….

The West Wing is coming to an end, only one more epsiode. They’re closing down all the relationships, creating new ones, all this emotional stuff. And tonight.

Well, it made me start to think. There’s a new guy in town, in case you all haven’t already figured it out, Dustin… How do I handle him?

Ever since Andrew, I’ve taken everything slow, I’ve been defensive in relationships, both with friends and dating, I’ve been cold and bitchy, I’ve been disconnected. Not wanting to expose myself again like that.

Then, the new years. It was time to change all that, time to get out there and find another boy. Enter, Austin. I jumped in with both feet, I jumped in hard. I did things with him that I had never done with anyone else. I exposed myself and I got trashed again.

This time, I wasn’t going to let it get me down. Yes, I was down for a little bit, but it wasn’t going to stop me. I kept going.

Date, after date, after date… All horrible, all stupid, me defensive and bitchy to most of them.

Enter, Dustin. I was excited for that date anyways, he seemed so much better online then all the other boys, a good down to earth working boy. The date, as we all know, went off great. We’ve gotten closer and closer….

But now the time comes, one toe at a time, or both feet? Things have been moving pretty fast already. He’s spent the night a few times, we talk every day. No sex, which is good, that’s moving way to fast.

It seems people always say.. “We’re going to take it slow… ” Etc, etc. But they never seem to actually do it. I’ve said it, and not done it. So what’s the right speed, and how do you know? How do you regulate it, and should you?

There’s so many unknowns in relationships, they are so difficult. I’m excited for this one, even though I do have reservations about his age. We’ll slowly see where things go with this one.

So what am I doing? Why am I thinking about this move to Santa Monica, why did I agree to it? I’ve gained these amazing friends… Pretty much exactly what I’ve wanted. People who do BBQ’s, people who go out, people who will go on bike rides, and I’m sure there’s so much more. So why am I leaving them?

It’s all being really difficult for me right now. Very annoying.

And to top it all off… Austin contacted me today. He ran into the boys on Wed at the Boom, and then again on Fri… Today, I get a txt message. I replied, he replied, I replied… No response. I’m not sure what he wanted.. It’s been over a month since I’ve had any contact with him. So what, and why now?

It’s time for bed, I’ve had a horribly long day.

A Day Without Immigrants…

On the fucking roads!

Warning: Extremely racist comments following:

Sooo. Yesterday, I traveled from Aliso to Anahiem in 20 minutes… DURING RUSH HOUR! Normally during this time, the 5 basically comes to a STOP starting at Jamboree, yesterday, however, it was clear all the way till I got PAST the 55. This is a HUGE thing. I say it’s because all the immigrants weren’t on the roads. haha. I’m sorry, but I don’t see what all the fuss is about, seriously these people are here illegally, thus they should be treated as such. In my opinion they already get WAY too much out of our tax dollars.

Ok, so yesterday was pretty good. Did random work, and spent a lot of time looking for apartments. Things there are really stressing me out. I’ll be spending Wed, Thur, Fri up in Santa Monica looking for places. Hopefully I can find SOMETHING. I’m really starting to think I might have to rid myself of the cats as well, it’s so HARD to find places that accept them up in LA. Why do landlords HATE pets so much?! I don’t understand. 🙁 They just get MORE MONEY out of you for them!

Spent last night with Dustin, met up with him at 6 and went and got food and then watched The Majestic with Jim Carrey. He was actually pretty good in it too, which was surprising. I went home about 10ish. I was doing a little over 85 on the way back home and this motorcycle guy went FLYING past me, he had to have been doing 95+. Then like a 10 seconds later this moto-cop went flying past me as well with his lights and shit on. I wonder what a ticket for 30 over costs?

Anyways, today is more of the same. Apartment hunting, stressing and all that shit. Ugh!

Adios!

LA?!

If only I could live in LA!?! But I don’t think I want to drive from Downtown LA to Santa Monica every day.

I have found some really nice places downtown that are high-rise, loft style, hardwood floors, basically exactly what I’m looking for. And they are cheap! But I’m not really sure what the downtown LA night life is like, or saftey really. It could get bad.

But I’m up to 8 possible places to check out for wed now. I just hope that I can work them all out to be viewable during the day. I want to be out of SM by 2pm.
