I've been able to delay reality for a while, but classes finally start up again tomorrow. I'd rather have something to do rather than just sitting around looking for ways to fill up my time. I think they're going to be interesting and I'm going to learn a lot, but most of the time I'll be day dreaming of California...
Speaking of which, I just watched the pilot for "Beverly Hills, 90210." Amazing. I know I was only four when it first came on TV, but I can see why it was such a hit. The pilot alone had everything you could want in a teen movie. But a teen movie that lasted for ten years? Incredible. I think one of my favorite parts is that Brian Austin Green (a.k.a. David Silver) actually looks like a high school freshman. He has a squeaky voice and a baby face, but I think he was actually around seventeen when it was filmed. If you have the Soap Network, I highly recommend you DVR/Tivo that action. If you don't, invest in the DVDs.

snow no!
as if i needed any more reasons to be sick of massachusetts, a snowstorm is most likely trapping me in houston.
sure, the weather is nice, but i am bored out of my gourd. the city is kind of nice, but its so darned big that you have to drive forever to do anything. i'm in the suburbs, and it's all strip malls and fast food.
at my brother's, we pretty much just sit around and watch tv and try not to let their three dogs and three cats jump all over us. i was forced to watch football last night, but luckily i was able to slip away for the tail end of an antm marathon...
i did get to go on a helicopter ride piloted by my brother today. it was pretty rad, if only for twenty minutes.
it's great to see my brother and his wife, but i feel kind of lazy here.
i'm hoping that when i get home, my motivation to make it to la, will motivate me to be more active and productive in other areas of my life.

la la love
i almost let myself be ruined by stereotypes.
i didn't like what i'd heard about los angeles.
entourage is entertaining to watch, but i didn't want my life to involve those kinds of people.
well, la proved me wrong. i fell in love.
there is so much more to that city than just the city.
every neighborhood is unique, and escape is easy. tired of the hollywood hustle and bustle? drive to the beach. visit a farmer's market. surround yourself with people you love.
it was so good to see old friends and make new ones. i felt really loved the whole time i was there. it was the first time in awhile that i didn't feel completely disconnected from everyone. it's nice to know that i have community waiting for me. and even family- my dad's cousin and her husband were so cool and amazing and i genuinely enjoyed hanging out with them, despite our thirty-year age gap.
the weather was supposedly "bad" when i was there, but it was 6 degrees when i left boston last week. i think i can handle a little rain...
i have some great potential internship opportunities out there as well.
now all i need is a car and a place to live.
it's going to be hard, but i'm determined to be there this summer.
