My dear readers,
The reality that I live in a big, bustling city that couldn't care less about one more person joining their ranks is sinking in. Not that I'm regretting the decision, but it is very real now. I like this city--at least as a big change from where I have been. there are thigns to do, cool places to eat, and people from every walk of life all crowded in together. This makes for a much more interesting life than the beige existence I had in Montgomery. This feels like a big step upward in a lot of ways.
Granted, so far it hasn't been roses. For one thing, I don't have a job yet and have had more expenses than I'd like to admit. Of course, I think Jeff is going to have a job fairly soon, so the immense pressure is off of me for just a little while. Also, we're getting used to living with other people again. It helps that it is Andrew, a good friend of ours. He and Kerrie, our other roommate, see living together as more than just a convenience thing. We're seeing our lives as very communal, sharing food expenses, borrowing cars for long commutes, etc. It helps knowing there are people there looking out for you. AND (and this is a biggie), our stuff hasn't arrived yet. My back feels like it belongs to an 80-year-old from sleeping for more than a week on an air matress. Of course, I can partially blame my bed-hog of a dog for that. We won't be getting our stuff until sometime next week and I am stir crazy for a sofa! I guess that is a mild complaint, but it feels like it's my whole life right now!
The city is crazy, though. Everyone driving as fast as possible, in a hurry to get somewhere. But it is nice to know that I can go out in my sweats and a ponytail, no make-up, or get dressed to the nines in heels and jewelry, and be judged the same way by my fellow-passersby. No one really cares, and that's the truth.
I'm running out of time on my library computer here, so I'll write more when I have more to say. But suffice it to say, I'm a crazy LA chick--who is already making plans for the next step!
