I somehow managed to pack up my 57 pursues, 217 pairs of shoes, 34 skirts (...yeah, you get the point- I have a lot clothes and accessories) and move to the OC! It's different from LA County. I mean there is still traffic, but it seems more residential and newer. The people here are different, too. Much less Hollywood. And there seems to be two categories- 1. The Rich and Beautiful, 2. The Poor and Ugly. Either you are extremely good looking and drive a fast German car, or you are trashy and drive around in a pick-up truck or mini-van. I do not fall into either category, although I wish I belonged to the first...maybe someday after I've made my millions that will buy that hot car and pay for my plastic surgery, but for now I am in my own category.
I am doing about a good a job of unpacking as I did packing. Yesterday, I went to Calabasas to get the rest of my things. Then to Santa Monica for the gym and yoga. And then back here. But of course I did not unpack. I had to explore the local shopping opportunities. Next, I discovered the horrible, zombifying force known as DIGITAL CABLE! I have never been much of a television watcher (aside from Grey's Anatomy and Project Runway, as well as the occasional C-SPAN and E! at the gym). And as a student, I have had little time to go to movies. So when I made the discovery that my new condo has all these premium movie channels, I got sucked in. Game over. I lost, HBO won. I don't think I have ever watched so much TV at one time when I wasn't sick! Mind you, I am only talking about four hours and during most of those four hours I was doing other extremely productive things, such as talking on the phone. And then today I hit the gym and worked on my tan. Contrary to popular belief, it is work! It is hard to get that perfect, even tan (or in my case burn). It must be timed precisely and take many variables into consideration, such as time of day, angle of the sun, nearby bodies of water, splashing children, and attractive males.
Now I am actually doing a little unpacking, but that is only because I need to pack for my trip back East. God, I feel like all I do is pack, unpack, pack, unpack! I also need more storage for my extensive wardrobe. The one measly closet is not enough for a fashionista such as myself. So why bother unpacking until I've gotten back from Toronto and New York, and I have a place to put things!
Speaking of the trip back East, I am very excited! I am going to Toronto for a few days to visit with my friends, shop, and cause some drunken trouble with the Girlies. The Girlies and I always manage to consume one too many shots of tequilla and then have crazy adventures. I can't wait to see what we do this time! And then I am off to New York! One of my sisters is graduating from university and the whole fam wants to see me. Family get-togethers are always an interesting experience. Let me just say that my immediate family is very functional, it's just the extended family on both sides that's fucked up. It never fails for a fight to break-out on holidays, weddings, funerals, or other events that require families to gather together. I am looking forward to the trip, but I don't know what to expect. At least I know I will be well dressed!
