Getting Close to LA time [Return to the Blog]
I got the coffee mug at the local starbucks in Miami Beach. I'll be using it at work to remind me of Miami :) It's such a nice coffee mug and I needed something to remind me of Miami while I'm at work in Los Angeles. I told Arlet that for my going away present she needs to get me a coffee mug with some character that will always remind me of Arlet. Let's see what she comes up with.
It's getting close to the move! I've been in a zombie slump lately but slowly I'm getting very excited. I started back on lexapro to help me cope with all the changes that are coming. Change scares me so much and I know I would go a little crazy at the end of December if I didn't have lexapro. So far it's been working great. I'm feeling upbeat and excited about the move.
I've been saving my money like crazy and am proud at how much I've saved. My parents are also going to be able to come with me for the move. I was coming at the beginning of January to Los Angeles but since my dad can't make it then, we'll be driving the day after Christmas up until New Year's day. That way my parents can check out Los Angeles for the long weekend and then fly back home.
I'm so psyched that my parents will be able to take this trip with me. I just hope I can convince someone to go with me during the early part of December to find an apartment. Luckily I made friends with Jim, who I met through my blog. He's been awesome and I know we'll be great friends when I go over there. We spoke for the first time this past weekend. He was so nice and warm that I felt like I've known him forever. He's going to check out some apartments for me and get back to me. I'm already invited to one of his parties in Decemember. It will be a great way to meet new people in a city that I barely know :)
I've narrowed my search to three areas: West Hollywood, the Hollywood hills, and Silverlake. I'm leaning towards West Hollywood because it reminded me a lot of South Beach and it's close to work, but Silverlake looks like it would be a really nice neighborhood to live in. It's a little more west than West Hollywood but I hear it has nice gay bars and a dog park. Gotta look out for Lola too :)
Last night before going to sleep I wrote Luis a message. We haven't spoken since I was living in Fort Lauderdale. In reality I'm not sure why he's not talking to me, but he has done this before with one of his friends Billy. And to do this day he hasn't talked to Billy. I hope he returns my email because I would like to make up before I head over to Los Angeles. Since I moved from Fort Lauderdale I have lost two good friends: Mario and Luis. I know that no matter how angry I feel towards my friends I eventually get over it. It's taken me a lot longer to get over Mario's stuff because I feel he's totally changed since I first met him, but I'll probably contact him before I head to LA. I don't like to leave things the way they are. It feels wrong.
