There is tragedy in not believing.


Great news everyone! I'm now, once again, certified to makeout with you safely. :0D Ok, ok...so I'm certified in CPR again. This time by the AHA. The 5 or 6 other times I've been certified has been with Red Cross. Now being certified by either is great, but I would have to recommend the Red Cross...I feel more comfortable with the training from them, and I'm not saying AHA's was bad...just different. :0)

Anyway, that's what I did this morning. I had to wake up at 6.30am to get to downtown Los Angeles by 8am. I thought I would have to fight traffic, but apparently it was too early for that. :0P I was there a half hour early, so I just stood around waiting for my other co-workers. It's all ok though, because I got paid to be there. :0)

This Saturday marks the start of working full-time for Jonathan Beach Club. From that day forth, I'll be putting in 35-40 hours a week playing with kids on the beach until Labor Day. Then it's back to workin' in TV and movies. :0D The TV season will be back in full strength, so I'll have steady work.

Well not much else to update, things are just movin' along at a steady pace. :0)

If I let you see me, if I let you hear me
If I let you smell me, if I let you taste me
Then what will you feel?


Moving for me seems to be like..a three week process. Even after I move all my furniture and boxes and whatnot, I still take forever to unpack them and get everything "home-y" again. Like just this weekend I hung up posters and put away the boxes that had littered my bedroom floor for a few weeks. I am the king of procrastination it seems. :0P

I spent last week with Rachel. She makes my day, my week, my month, my year...my life... a better place to be. I miss her so incredibly much, that I physically feel a void inside of me when she's gone. I'll see her next week for a few days as she comes down to go to court for her speeding ticket she got on a previous visit. She's also going to be checking out some roommate possibilities down in the LA area while she's here, as she may move here next month or so. :0D

I bought a fan at Sears the other day. It has a remote control!! :0) Just knowing that I can sit in my computer chair five feet away from the fan and make it oscillate with the click of my remote makes it worth the purchase. :0P My only problem is that it's "Silent Force Blade Technology".. meaning it's supposed to be quiet, right? Hmm, I guess I put it together wrong, cuz mine makes an annoying noise. Black and Decker is probably laughing at me right now, saying "Hahaha, we'll make millions off of suckers thinking there's such a thing as a silent fan! HA!" Oh well, I will fix it, I know what's wrong. :0)

I get to sleep in tomorrow as it's my day off, and maybe even wednesday too, but we'll see. Thursday I must go to the Jonathan Town Club and re-certify my CPR. I thought about just taking the test instead of the class, but I'm getting paid training, so I might as well just take a refresher course. :0) Then Friday I get to sleep in before the storm, as Saturday is the start of working full-time doing Youth Recreation at the Beach Club. Ohhhh I can't wait. :0P

I'll update again tomorrow. <3

I'll let you be in my dream
if I can be in yours.


Well all your questions can be answered now. I'm not dead. I wasn't kidnapped (well I sorta was), and I haven't been lazy...I actually have real weighty excuses for not updating recently.

It all starts off with my ex-roommate Kain, turning off our phone (which includes my DSL) on the day after he moved out, which was 2 weeks before Tyrico and I moved out. So we were a bit upset about this, but we got him to turn it back on until the 31st so we could at least have a phone.

This left me without the internet for a bit, but that's fine. Rachel came down and surprised me! She stayed for a few days before I started work at my new job, which has been going nicely. It's a blessing to see the ocean all day while you're at "work", playing random games with kids in the sand. :0) The time I spend with Rachel is so precious to me, because I constantly feel like it's never enough. It's a scary, but good feeling as odd as that sounds. When I'm around her I just...I...feel...more. Of everything. :0D

So, I have since moved to North Hollywood, just this last weekend, and we finally got our phoneline setup the other day, which marked my triumphant return to the internet. Oh joy! :0P My DSL will be hooked back up next week, and I'll be able to get off this blasted dial-up for at least another 6 months (when I plan on moving again). Tyrico ended up not finding a place of his own, and asked if he could live with us (myself and Danielle) and we of course agreed, and he moved his stuff in with us last weekend, but then he disappeared, and on monday morning his stuff had disappeared from his room. He decided against living here, which really upset us, because he owed rent, and he didn't say anything to us..he just sorta snuck his stuff out. :0( Lame.

But later that day, this girl and her mother called, asking about the ad Danielle had put in the paper a week earlier. So they came and saw the room, and talked to us for a bit..and presto, we have a new roommate named Jennifer! :0) She's 18, just graduated high school in Ohio, drove out here just last weekend to gain residency in California so she can go to UCLA for the cheaper resident rate, and needed to find a place quickly before her mother flew back to where she lives on friday...in Puerto Rico. :0)

So everything actually worked out. Weird. Rachel says things just seem to happen for me, without much effort.

I say things...just happen.
