Ok so movies...
I just watched "PeggieSue Got Married" at home an it made me think about high school. At this point 3 years ago I was sure I would be married at right now and starting a family.
Fuck dude, now I'm no where near that goal...hard to have any thoughts of starting a family when you have no prospects of a person you want to start that family with. Doesn't stop my feelings of want though.
Goddamnit. Problem is: that movie ends with the main character chick ending up with her high school sweetheart. That never happens. I don't regret my high school relationship at all (so Nathan if you ever read this thank you for everything. I'm totally serious.) But I know I could never stay with that person forever. High school is so different from 'the afterlife.' It's insulated from money problems and debt and painful passion and everything (at least I think so.)
You can't have school without chool. (thank you Mike and Matt, I really miss you guys)
Fuck man, even now is so different from real life. I'm not sure what real life will be like, but I hope and pray to God (or whatever spiritual guide I feel like) that it will be as fun and as happy as Senior/Freshman Summer year. Right now I miss that part of my life more than anything possible. I don't want my life to exactly the same, obviously, but with at least as many people as I cared about and knew and loved.
Godfuckingdamnit I just want someone to understand this.
Oh wait, everyone who has come out of college/high school and is looking toward their successful future feels this way...
Go us! We will conquer the world, because we get past this shit

Place to Live!
Ok so now I am officially out of El Monte. Yey! And I'm living with Sarah, which is awesome because I know her! I think this'll make the whole OTV and becoming famous work out a lot easier when I don't have to drive forever just for meetings.
You know you're in Hollywood when the gym you go to won't let you have a fucking cup for water for free. Fuckers. 50 cents for an empty cup that didn't even have to have water in it. Christ. I need quarters for laundry goddamnit! That frustrated me.
On another note: I really want to start kickboxing and stuff! I think it would be really fun and a much better way of getting rid of LA-related road-rage than killing people. Only problem I could see is royally screwing with my wrists, and I need steady hands. Right now my hands resemble those of old people. On speed. If I was playing my flute/sax right now I could trill D/Eb really, really fast! Because that half-step trill is used so often...
Or I could just be ridiculously tired.
Or just really, really excited about my turning 21 on Wednesday.
Segue!
I'm having a party on Saturday night celebrating this fact! Not sure where exactly yet, but it'll be wonderfully awesome and filmed!
And I get to sleep in till 6:30 tomorrow! Things just keep getting better

It's amazing how fast you can go from bored off your ass to busy as f...everything
I'm trying to at least keep my titles PG.
Goal #2&3 - CHECK!! Holy shit! You are now reading the ramblings of the Assistant Pastry Chef at UGO cafe in Downtown Culver City. Oh my god it's wonderful. It's 6-2 most mornings, so I'm up around the time I used to go to sleep, but it is totally, completely, undoubtedly worth it. I don't even feel tired when I leave!
(By the way, #1 = going to culinary school, #2 = job in kitchen doing anything, #3 = job in kitchen doing pastry stuff. I don't know the order of my next goals, but I do know they include going to Europe to learn more about all the techniques and everything there, opening my own place somewhere, and having enough money to pay off my school debts. And starting a family. And being the most kick-ass grandma ever. But those are in a while.)
I'm picking up Spanish at an alarming rate now, it's amazing how well the immersion technique works.
Next step = Moving into an amazing apartment! Then finding a serving job for nights near Culver City/West LA so I can get the hell out of debt and start enjoying life! I really like Crocodile Cafe because of the people, but hostessing really isnt too cool.
For the love of GOD, I will never, EVER take a job as a hostess again.
