Day 276 - That's Life

I am deleting people from Facebook. I keep getting invites and random emailings from people when I don't even know them, talk to them or live in the same state. It's refreshing.

I watched the show Gelson is on. I didn't see him, but I had a hard time paying attention. It was so boring. Not even trashy, dumb good. Just dumb. And I can watch some pretty dumb stuff. It looks like it was shot in the '90s. I don't know if I can watch another episode to look for him again.

On the other hand, Degrassi was great! As usual. I can't wait for next week.

The Brit and I were going to try to hang out this weekend, but he's been swamped with projects, etc. He did ask to see me this afternoon, but Legal Eagle and I are going Halloween shopping and I needed to finish my work before. Plus I'm kind of annoyed with him. He just isn't making much of an effort and just says "I'd love to see you," "Can't wait to see you," etc. instead of actually trying to see me. I don't know how I feel about it, but I do know that not hearing from him in between dates is no longer acceptable. He said he'll text me early this next week to make plans, so we'll see. I didn't respond.

However, not hanging out with the Brit has been great for my productivity. I am ahead on work, able to blog and did some cleaning.

I can't wait to go shopping for my Halloween costume. No idea what I will be, but who cares!

That's all in my life.

Oh! Wait, I ran into Neighbor this week. Haven't seen him since sometime in August. He is still "with" the 19-year-old, although now she is 20. He wrote her a song for her birthday. He told me I should meet her because he thinks I'd really like her. Sorry, I don't hang out with 20-year-olds.

Now, that's all in my life.

Day 262 cont. - The Day Neighbor And I Finally Hung Out

Sooooo...Neighbor and I finally got together. I went over to his place Thursday night to see his kitten and catch up. We ended up hanging out from 10:00pm-1:30am. Yikes!

But, onto things.

We did a brief catch up when I got there and I played with the kitten. And then he began talking about his 19-year-old "stalker."

They've kind of, sort of dated. But not really. I'm not sure I get it even now. But he said they've hung out like all the time. He claims its because she just drops by and that it's weird when she does because she barely talks to him and nothing physical goes on, although they have made out early on in their "relationship." But he did call her cute and I'll admit, when he first said all this, it stung. But in a "you're an ass" way, not a "why not me?" way.

So he told me all about her and she either has a mental imbalance or is a pathological liar. She's screwed up in some way. And I think he thinks he can help or save her in some way. And I think he likes the drama. Every girl he's stuck around for has been drama.

He claims he wants to get her out of the picture, but he isn't exactly doing what he should to make that happen. Note: he leaves his door unlocked and sometimes she'll just go in even when he isn't home. Something about this is fucked up.

Also, she called him when we were hanging out. He didn't get it on time the first time she called, but then she definitely called back five seconds later. We agreed he would answer and, of course, he told her we were hanging out. Apparently she said, "Oh, OK." So I told him to not tell her where I live.

Moving on, he asked me about work and then asked if I was seeing anyone. I mentioned the Brit.

He then asked a bunch of questions about him. Name, job, where he lives, etc. I won't deny that it felt pretty great telling him about the Brit and how normal and good everything was. He teased me a bit -- a lot -- about him.

It was interesting talking to him about another guy. It was a different kind of conversation than I would have to Legal Eagle or one of my sisters. I don't know how to describe it.

But we caught up a lot and then I headed home. We hugged when I left and agreed to get together soon.

I don't know how he feels about things. I spent a lot of the time trying to figure out why I was so gaga over him. But he brought up dating someone else first, so I assume a guy who likes you wouldn't do that. I hope that he just wants to be friends because that's where I'm at and I think we could be great friends. Plus, I've never had a close guy friend. And maybe I can help him stay away from nutter butter girls.

I'll keep you updated as I try to figure this out.

Day 261 - I Will Write Soon!

I'm going to try to update my life on here tonight, but I have tons of work to do so at the end of the night I might just feel like shutting down. If that's what happens, I promise to update this weekend. In detail.

But really quickly, movie night at the Brit's with his roomies was a success and I think I will be seeing him this weekend.

Also, I hung out with Neighbor last night and caught up. I can't wait to tell you all about his 19-year-old friend. I told him about the Brit and, oddly, I think Neighbor and I might be on our way to being good friends.

OK, back to work. Wah wah wah.

Day 255 - Best First Date!

I went out with the Brit! The date lasted almost 8 hours. It was so much fun.

Recap:

We met at a pub in our area to have some beer and play darts.

He's got the cutest, most genuine smile.

There was definitely some awkward first date stuff, in fact, I think he was maybe a little nervous, which is really nice.

I told him a bit about what I do and then I accidentally found out he recently got laid off. Ouch. I didn't ask any more about it or work because I don't think that's probably something he wants to talk about on a first date. It doesn't bother me because hey, I haven't had the best career going for me at all times, but I hope he doesn't think it bothers me.

We then played darts, sat and talked, played darts, sat and talked, met some good dart players, learned a new dart game, played, talked, went and grabbed pizza, and then he walked me home.

So what have I learned about him? He went to school at Elon (a school I looked at once) for two years and then transferred to NC Chapel Hill, born in Buffalo then went to school for two years in Saudi Arabia (yes, weird) then lived in Ohio, lives with 4 (!) other people (in a house, but no idea if he has his own room, surely...), has played just about every sport (soccer, volleyball, surfing, basketball, track, and even can play tennis a bit!), has been to Italy, France, England, Australia and maybe more (can't remember), has siblings and at least one nephew (who he helped teach basketball to), is competitive (!), has had girlfriends (I know, random, but it's always good to know that someone has dated, it's a weird thing of mine), voted for Obama (phew), has a dad who is a chemist, blah blah blah.

He paid for everything, except my first drink because I got there first even though we were both late.

He had driven down, but had parked his car safely and offered to walk me home. And yes, we made out a bit in front of my door like we were in high school or something. Thank god for neighbors who don't go out past 11pm.

Oh! And he was a total gentleman, didn't ask to come in and never asked me to come over.

Then after he left he sent me a text that said he had such a great time with me, etc. Geeze, I'm in for it now.

Basically it was really great and he made me laugh and I'm excited to see him again.


Then today:

I ran into Neighbor. It was...weird? Well, he was out talking with one of our neighbors so I was kind of interrupting in a way. The convo was short and there really wasn't much to say. He said he was going to tell me more about his 19-year-old stalker sometime, which made me realize just how inconsiderate he's been lately. He said he wanted to grab a drink sometime, not this week, but next week. I didn't have much to say to him. Maybe we'll be friends? I don't know.


So much that I left out about the Brit, but come on, I can't write a novel on here. I'm sure there will be more to say.

Day 253 - Yikes! Hi!

I know, sooooo long since I've written.

My mom was here and just left this morning. And I turned 26!

I really can't write much because I have work to do. So much work. Here is a quick breakdown.

Work: Good. Busy. Taking on a lot with the new job.

Birthday: So much fun. Got nails done. Had martinis. Wonderful wishes and presents from my family.

Mom's visit: Crazy fun. Wandered around Hollywood. Went to a comedy show. Had hot dogs at Pink's.

Boys: OK, my mom found me a guy. Went out to the local bar and met a guy. Then the next morning he was at the same place as us for breakfast. Details - musician, lives in my area, has a slight British accent, great teeth...basically way cooler than me. Exchanged numbers and Legal Eagle and I have devised a plan of action. And for now, I will refer to him as the Brit. Oh, and Neighbor didn't wish me a happy birthday. Major fail.

Other: Everything is really good. 26 is off to a great start.

Now I have to get back to work. I'll try to get pics from my mom and update when I have time, but it's going to be an insane week.

Day 249 - Maybe He's Stalking Me

Ran into Neighbor again. And this time I looked adorable!

He's really pushing grabbing a drink next week, even said he's not working on the work that he was doing at night. I think he finished that project last week?

But as usual, not holding my breath. If we do go, I'll be shocked. If we don't, I'll be expecting it.

In awesome news, I found a CVS nearby so I don't have to haul to Target anymore to get my razors. Believe me, this is like finding a $100 bill.

Also, in heat news, when you come in from the heat, go stick your feet in cold water from the tub. Instant cooler.

In lame news, I woke up at 6am and couldn't fall back asleep. Not fair. Hopefully I sleep in tomorrow.

OK, did some cleaning this morning, now onto some work. Fa la la.

Day 248 - Phew!

Hi Bloggity Blog!

This week has been nutter butter. I quickly started a new gig/job/project/whatever mid-week. Basically that means I wake up at 6am, am working by 7am at home, leave around noon-ish to go to this new office, leave there at 6pm and am home after 7pm. Then figure in a workout (if not dead and Legal Eagle wants to) and making dinner and I'm beat. Plus, I had previously agreed to transcribe an interview this week so that made this week nonstop (kind of like this paragraph).

But! Things are good. I'm good. Feeling productive, enjoying the new work, getting along with the people, succeeding, etc. Granted, I know that at any time my work schedule can change or disappear, but things are good! And they really like me too.

Now I am just so happy it's Friday. I have no major plans other than a movie Sunday night. Mostly going to clean and do some other work (leisurely). But cleaning is a must because my mom is visiting for my birthday!!!!

What else, what else? Haven't hung out with Neighbor but I did just run into him. It was good. I mean, it's always good. Apparently he has some little 19-year-old actress "stalking" him or at least trying to hang out with him a lot. Yes, I find this annoying, but am really kind of too tired to think too much about it. I know, shocking. Sorry, no extreme over-analyzing right now. He wants to hang out, that old story, but I know better than to think we will. Although, it was kind of cute when we were standing in the road talking and I wouldn't move for the cars that were passing by and he said something about it and then brought up how when we went to the Garden of Oz, I didn't really pay attention to the street and cars. I tried to explain that they should be looking out for me, but he didn't get it. I don't know, it was a cute moment, you had to be there.

But moving on, my brain is only on work and my mom's visit. Oh, and the comforter and pillows I am about to buy online on sale. Finally!

OK, would chat more but I really just want to shut this lappy down. Good night!

Day 245 cont. - See, We Are Friendly

Text Exchange:

Neighbor: Hey Molly! How's your Friday evening?

Me: Hey, it's pretty good. How have you been?

Neighbor: Well, my parents are still here, so that's awesome. Still busy, but everything's awesome. We should go get coffee one of these weekends!

Me: Glad you're having fun with them. Let me know sometime when you're free and we'll do coffee. I don't think I told you, but our notes aren't there anymore.

Neighbor: I know, I saw...and I was pissed. Start thinking of your new one! And I'll bring super glue and a staple gun.

Me: Deal.


Yes, I will admit I was happy to hear from him, while his parents were still in town no less. And yes, he did use the word awesome twice in one text.

The notes are the ones we wrote down at Bourgeois Pig in the forest-like room where there is a little jewelry box type thing where people put little random notes.

I know, this conversation is fascinating. And yes, I have thought of my new note already.

Day 245 - I Don't Know What I Was So Worried About

4th of July was fabulous!

OK, here is a run-down of the day:

Left from Hollywood to Huntington Beach mid-morning on the 4th.

Prepared for the day, helped LE make American flag veggie tray, checked out awesome bike I got to borrow (with basket and cupholder), had a beer.

Biked down to Huntington Beach...well, closer to the beach. Thought I was going to die. It was not a short bike ride. My legs are still sore today. But we survived.

Oh, my outfit...sorry, I don't really have any pictures. But, I wore layered tanks, shorts and my black straw fedora! The hat was a hit. And I carried this red, long strap purse that my middle sister brought me from Nicaragua, I think. It's awesome and I looked totally hipster.

OK, so back to the party. I had met some of the people before, so that was nice. Everyone was, as usual, very friendly.

Just as the burgers get done cooking, LE and I are forced to go on a short bike ride to the actual beach. I cried internally.

A group of us ride down to the beach, lock up our bikes and head to a bar...mostly because the girls have to use the bathroom.

Have a beer at the bar and go through the "Who should we set Molly up with," game. Then explain the Neighbor situation as "We're friendly."

Head back to the apartment. Eat, drink, yadda yadda.

Eventually walk down to the beach for the fireworks! Park it in the sand, borrow another person's blanket and watch the fireworks. Perfect!

Head back to the apartment and eventually to the main road to grab a cab.

Jump in cab that Double B grabs and sit in lots of traffic with an insane driver. Make it home.

BEST PART:

The best part, for me, was that the apartment we were at was throwing water balloons back and forth with the house across the road (and at people passing through). I got way into this and at one point totally nailed a guy with a balloon who was passing by on his bike. He then came over and high-fived me and said that no one was able to hit him all day. I actually had quite good aim and was able to get a few people and always blamed it on all of the guys at our party. I then also told the story of how my mom once hit a kid on a bike with a rock when she was little. See, it runs in the family.

All in all, a very mellow, easy-going, beachy 4th! So happy I went!

Day 242 - So Now We're Huggers?

Quick weekend post:

I ran into Neighbor as I was walking up the hill to home.

When we stopped to say hi, he gave me a hug. A big hug and made it seem like we hadn't seen each other in years. I saw him Tuesday.

Thing that is really odd about this is we never hug when we see each other up and down the hill. It's just never been our thing because we always run into each other...and I'm secretly terrified our bosses/apartment landlords will see and I'll have some awkward conversation with them about why we were hugging and what's going on. I'm paranoid like that.

OK, so we talked about randomness and it was nice and whatever. He says that he wants to do things, but follows it up with how busy he is, but that we'll figure it out. I nod and make a mental note to not have any expectations.

Then at the end, he hugged me again! And these aren't even little, quick hugs, yeesh.

So, I don't know why he's all of a sudden hugging me on the street. He's done it once before, when I ran into him one day when we weren't on good terms and had a talk that ended with a hug. That was months ago.

Well, OK, just going to go with the flow...he did smell quite nice though. Oy.

Day 241 - OK, A Run-Down On All Things Me!

I know, it's been quite some time since I've told you what's been going on. So buckle up, here we go!

Work: I just got back from an interview. The guy seemed like a dick. (Cue him being a technical genius and finding this blog.) He was all, "The other people in this building are losers," and "I hate weekends," and "I want someone who works for Fox News and will work here for $9 an hour." Seriously...he wants a Republican? The interview was for a newer entertainment site. It's hard enough going on interviews, let alone one where you want to stand up, tell the guy to stuff it and walk out. At least I'm not in financial distress and NEED to take the job.

Neighbor: We talked on the phone yesterday and I stopped by his place. We are horrible communicators...at least with each other. He likes to talk, talk, talk, whereas when he says something like, "I don't want to get into anything," and follows it with, "I want to take you to a movie," I need time to soak it in and think. Basically, we didn't resolve much, but I did conclude that I'm going to go about my life. If he wants to ever hang out, I will only do so as friends. He isn't offering any sort of consistent dating and I don't want to be someone he takes out once a month. Oddly, I think I'm becoming OK with this. I did always think we could be really good friends. He's never answered if he just wants to be friends or date or go out randomly or anything. I guess we'll see.

Legal Eagle: Did I tell you last week we went on a manhunt? This is her new thing because she really wants to be a wingwoman. So, we went to this Irish bar and had so much fun. While we didn't meet any potential suitors for me, we chatted with many guys and one told me I was adorable after he kissed my hand. He later passed out on a bar stool. So sweet. But, we're going to do this much more often...in fact, we are going out in Orange County tomorrow night with a coworker of hers. Not a "real" manhunt as it would be nearly impossible for me to date a guy in the OC, but always fun!

Upcoming Goodness: Did I ever tell you what I got LE for her birthday? No? Oh, well, I am going to take her on an overnight trip to Solvang, California. It's a little town 2 hours north of LA. It'll be July 10-11. The hotel was not expensive at all and we are champs at eating cheap, so it'll be a good little adventure. They have an ostrich farm nearby. Yes!

Other Randomness: I'm going to check out tennis racquets this weekend. I got Sprinkles cupcakes for LE and me as I interviewed near the shop. I found a duvet cover in gray that I want, but it's $100! I love Pandora...it's radio station thing, but you choose a song or artist and it creates a station with similar stuff. It helps me find all the bad songs I love.

I'm sure there is other stuff, but I have work to do.

Oh, the baby next door has a rash. I heard about it through the wall.

Day 240 - Tennis Anyone?

I think I may have found a tennis league thing that I can join. It's all over LA and you sign up (for super cheap) and they match you with various people to play with.

First, I need a racquet. Maybe some tennis shoes? And maybe I should go out and serve/hit against a wall before joining. And I need to figure out what level I'm at. I'm guessing 3.0 since I'm rusty, but still know how to play.

It's pretty exciting though. I better get moving on things. Luckily, it's so nice in LA that the tennis season is much longer.

Random Life Note: I think things have fizzled out with Neighbor. I'm going to try today to find out where we stand.

Day 239 - I Guess That Means I'm Hitting The Wall?

I feel like I've been waking up on the wrong side of the bed all week.

Well, Monday was actually a rough day, for legitimate reasons. Or rather, one reason.

Other than that, the week hasn't necessarily been bad. Work stuff is moving along. I pitched a new piece on Tuesday to a place I haven't worked with and so hope to hear something. I know editors take forever to respond, but waiting is the worst! I've even transcribed some stuff that I've been meaning to do but haven't been motivated to do.

Things with Neighbor are weird and blank, so maybe that's part of it, but really, I've kind of gotten myself on board with nothing happening with him.

Mostly, I just shouldn't be allowed in public or around other people this week. I really feel like being in bed, hiding under the sheets.

I was short on the phone with middle sister yesterday, felt horrible about it, and called her back later to apologize.

I suspect my poor eating this week has at least a little part in my mood. I really need to fix that.

Thankfully, it's Thursday and I don't have much to do this weekend. Maybe hit up Bed, Bath & Beyond to check out comforters and pillows. Maybe even check out the new Trader Joe's....or will that make me more mad? I hate their tiny aisles and chatty staff.

We'll catch up again soon, Blog, when I'm in a better mood.

Day 234 - Why No Neighborly Updates?

Well, Neighbor and I haven't gone out/hung out since the time we went to Skooby's...like a month ago.

Yes, we've texted, talked on the phone and seen each other (either run-ins or babysitting his kitten).

It really sucks, especially since I've given him about 5 million chances to spend time with me. Mostly, he either cancels, doesn't even bother setting a date or is tired. Oh, and all last week he was "sick" so I guess I can't hold that against him.

So now I'm getting the feeling, despite all other communication, that maybe he doesn't want to make time for me.

I don't know, but whenever he gets around to asking to spend time with me, I think this is a conversation we should have. I need to know where he stands and he needs to know where I stand.

As usual, I will keep you updated.

On the TV front: I'm starting to cut it out, but just during the daytime hours (normal work hours). So far, so good!

Day 231 - A Letter I Want To Write

Dear People Who Live Next To Me,

Your baby, she cries a lot. Wait, cries is the wrong word. She screams and wails at a decibel I'm not familiar with. It's this guttural scream that isn't exactly human. Have you heard it? Oh! You have?? When? Possibly at 6:00am? Or maybe 5:00am like this morning? So you are aware that this sound is occurring at insane hours? Good to know.

Well, your demon child has been waking me up every.single.morning. It's nice that you put her bedroom in the room that shares a wall with mine. Smart! And it's also nice that you apparently do nothing to shut her up when she makes this beastly sound. It was really nice when you stopped by months ago and said that for the next three days you'd have to let her cry because the doctor said she will learn that way or something. When did three days turn into three months?

I'd say I hate your baby, but I don't think I'm allowed to blame the baby for this. Like, babies cry and you just deal. So, I'm going to hate you. Sooooo much.

I mean, why is your baby crying every morning? And often during the day? What are you doing over there?

It's gotten to the point where I can't remember when I slept through the night while in my room. Your screaming baby even wakes up the cats over here. And they sleep like rocks!

Furthermore, please do not tell me, "Well babies cry. What can I do?" I don't care. I have not had a baby. Therefore, why should I be waking up to a screaming baby? I should not be punished for your poor life decisions.

Well, it's also gotten to the point where Legal Eagle has offered to let me to stay in her room whenever I want. Honestly. I should not be chased out of my own bedroom like this. Every morning I feel a little more insane.

And on a side note: WTF do you two do for work? I see your husband working on the same two cars all the time and you are at home with about 50 nannies...who apparently also cannot stop the crying baby.

And on another side note: Why are Neighbor and your husband like new BFFs or something? (I will take this up with Neighbor.) But I do not like these two even getting along while I suffer from baby crying.

I dislike you all and would appreciate you moving or at least apologizing for any of the crying that I may be hearing. A nice bottle of wine or some earplugs would be a good apology gift.

Signed,
Your neighbor with bags under her eyes

P.S. LE totally thinks your baby isn't that cute. So there.

Day 230 - I Just Look So Trustworthy

"And by the way...Thank you thank you thank you for some truly awkward moments. Our neighbor's name is [Name]. Trust me. ;)"

^Text from Neighbor last night. I have repeatedly told him that another neighbor was named a certain name. He thought it was something else. Turns out I was wrong. Silly boy for believing me!

Day 226 - All Is Almost Well In The Land Of Molly

Hi! Just checking in.

Let's see:

Work is good. Sent out a pitch today that I am really hoping works out.

Legal Eagle's birthday party is Saturday! '80s time. My outfit is almost all done. I think I just need some neon shoe laces. Although I still have to make the Rubix cube cakes that I am slightly nervous about.

Neighbor and I are good. He took in a stray kitten that was abandoned. Yes, I know. I'm trying to make sure that he cares for it properly as he seems to think that he can let it eat whatever it wants to eat. And no, Neighbor will not be going to the party because he will be at a wedding in Michigan. I guess that's a good enough reason.

Weather is getting better. It was cloudy yesterday and a bit sunnier today.

LE hasn't guessed her birthday present from her bf. He asked me about it to confirm that it was a good choice and something she didn't have/would want. She's bugging everyone for hints, but hasn't had any luck as I threw her off with a really random clue today.

Our apartment is clean. Doesn't always happen, so it's always nice when it is.


All in all things are good. The only bad thing is my stupid dental work and annoyances are never-ending. Oy.

Day 225 - Thank God I Have Stuff To Do

I'm upset with Neighbor. Is this anything new? Yeesh.

Here's the short story. He sent me a text Wednesday night. We went back and forth and I eventually asked what he was doing the next night (Thursday). He said he was hanging out with a friend earlier in the night, but maybe we could watch a late movie. I said we could see, but that I didn't want to interrupt his plans with his friend.

Skip to Thursday night. Neighbor sends me a text (around 10, maybe) and asks how my night is. I reply and ask about his. He says his friend got sick so he's just been hanging out at home watching some movie. He asks what I'm doing and I reply.

Now I feel a little insane, but why did he not ask me to hang out when he found out his friend was sick? And if he wanted a night to himself, which I totally respect that need, why did he tell me he was up to nothing or even bother texting me? He hasn't even made any attempt to spend any time with me. Hasn't asked what I'm up to this weekend. Nothing.

I assume he'll get in touch with me today or this weekend and he'll be getting one-word responses. (NOTE: When Legal Eagle and I are mad at boys we respond to everything in one or just a few more words. It's our favorite thing to do and it gets the point across. It's interesting to see how quickly they catch on.) But if he is interested in me, he has the worst way of showing it. Or rather no way of showing it.

SIDE NOTE: Earlier this week, I made a promise to myself that I would not be initiating any contact with him because I want him to do some of the work. It has worked, although he hasn't tried to make any date, so that hasn't worked.

So, I will continue to not text or call first. Luckily, I'll be very busy this weekend getting the rest of my outfit for LE's '80s birthday party, decorations and planning the awesome birthday cake/cakes I am in charge of. And some other boring chores/work.

GELSON UPDATE: He sent me a text yesterday. Said he was all busy this week and maybe we could go out Sunday night. Puh-lease. As LE said when I told her the exact text: I hate it when guys try to make it seem like you are an inconvenience in their busy schedules. Because it takes so long to send a text?

OK, we will catch up more later bloggity blog.

Day 224 - I Swear, I Did Stuff This Weekend...Maybe?

OK, I feel like I watched a lot of TV this weekend and laid around, but I know I did stuff!

Saturday: First, breakfast at The Waffle with Legal Eagle. Yum! I had a waffle with bacon cooked in it. Yes, that is an awesome concept.

Then we went '80s shopping at Out of the Closet and Vintage Iguana. It was way successful. Don't worry, there will be pictures!

Then I think I laid around and watched TV the rest of the day.

Oh wait! No, no. I went to the grocery store at some point and ran into Gelson! I knoooooooww! UPDATE: I did not hear from Gelson after our date on Tuesday. He then tells me he was going to call me Sunday (5 days later?!) and kind of asks me on a date. I mumble some sort of lame response. Haven't heard anything more. I'd be bummed if I had really liked him. Phew!

Sunday: Called mom!

Go out to grab lunch at Sweet Love Hangover with Neighbor. Discover that they are now closed on Sundays. Perfect.


We ended up grabbing hot dogs and fries at Skooby's after I mention how I've wanted to go but have been too scared to go. Had a nice time with Neighbor despite the food not being all that great. Walked around Hollywood for a little bit and told Neighbor how I will someday get a stress test done at the Scientology building. He won't go with me. :(

Then, well, I laid around and watched TV. Nice.

Day 221 cont. - Bam!

Done working! Mostly...I can do some other stuff later, but things that needed to be done are done!

What's up for this weekend?

Saturday: Brunch (maybe, I think) with Legal Eagle at The Waffle. We've both been wanting to go and it's just down on Sunset.

After brunch, we will be going shopping for outfits to wear to her '80s birthday party. I originally thought I would do an aerobics instructor thing, but now we might hang by the pool for her party. I'll just wing it and collect random '80s clothing and put some sort of outfit together. We've been looking forward to getting our outfits for months now.



Sunday (Mother's Day): Call my mom. Ha.

Then maybe I will go to Sweet Love Hangover with Neighbor. We had briefly said maybe we would this Sunday, but no definite plans. I'll probably check in with him about it today as he has already texted me. That would be fun, but if he can't, what shall I do? LE will be going to her bf's Mother's Day events. I suppose I could work on my own writing. I'll just make a relaxing day of it. With lots of food to eat!

OK, maybe my internet back home is working again. Going to go find out!
