So yes, it's official- I quit my job & actually had 2 interviews on my last day. Tomorrow is a big day- a day when I should be making a decision about the next step in my career. It is also the day I will be seeing Gavin DeGraw in concert! Whoohoo!!
For those of you not in L.A., I had a wonderful weekend. (Although I do always miss my Wade on the 4th of July)
The celebrations actually began on Saturday the 3rd with a BBQ at my friend Justin's apt followed by a kickin party out in Echo Lake at my friend Maryns house. I drank & partied till about, oh, say....2:30am, made some new friends and bonded with old ones. "Sooo, I just want to know if you think it's possible to actually get Ghonnoria of the throat..."
Sunday I got up early to drive Nicole to the airport so she could spend the weekend with her fam in Vegas, while I continued on to a brunch at ChrisP's. After a filling brunch and one too many Mimosa's (is that how you spell that? I'm just not sure...)- I headed over to Chris "Topher" Larkin's house where I wound up basically spending the following 24hours. There was much swimming, good food, plentiful alchohal and a wonderful vibe. New friends and quality memories were made. We watched fireworks all over L.A. from the top of Mulholland Drive, set off some of our own at a nearby park, then returned to the Larkin residence to chug champagne, play some asshole, skinnydip and sleep only to wake up the next morning, play with a new AWESOME puppy, shop in the madness that was Ikea, grill some steaks, oh, & did I mention play with a black lab puppy?? Man I can't wait to get a dog.
After a weekend like that & the day that is to come, I'm hereby dubbing July 6th as Jen's Thanksgiving in July. Here's a list of some things I'm thankful for :
1.)- Good Friends
2.)-New Friends
3.)Nicole Castro for making my life better.
4.) Animals, especially puppies.
5.) Good art- black & white photography, Dali, etc.
6.)Songs that make you want to dance
7.)Songs that define a memory and yet still fit the current mood perfectly.
8.) Good food.
9.) Boys cooking for me.
10.) Being able to get to know people for more than what you first imagine them to be...if that makes sense. Pretty much being able to look past 1st impressions and appearences to really get to know an awesome person.
11.)Friends with awesome houses or apts that allow me to live alone but never BE alone.
12.)Old friends who even if you don't talk to them for 2months keep the love.
13.) Having no inhibitions.
14.) Respect.
15.)The future.
16.) My career and the many paths I may take.
17.) Psychics.
18.)Staying positive and open.
19.) Love.
20.)The sun.
21.) Myself.
22.)You.
I think that's all for now...
Much love to you all,
~J
