White Wine & Words of Wisdom

So at drinks tonight with one of the best people I know, I got a little inspiration to write. I obviously couldn't steal away and write, or whip out my iPhone right there, (rude). I tucked the inspiration to the back burner and waited until I safely made it to my house.

Side note, LA parking is a fucking bitch. I parked on my street, which is always a plus, however, two spots down was a parking sign for, "No parking after 6:30am." So the nervous-don't-want-to-waste-money-on-parking-tickets part of me (I mean who ever wants to risk spending money on parking tickets?!) has set her alarm for 6:18am so she can book it to her car and move it to street parking that's not going to waste her money.  I love my life, but I do not love that I don't have parking at my home, but I must remain calm, this is my first Los Angeles home. This also means I will have to get dressed, FML. Which most definitely includes putting on a bra because lord knows, the "girls" cannot be jumping around for the 6am street walkers to feast their eyes upon... Unless said street walkers (what is this 'Walking Dead'?) want to stuff $20 bills in my pajamas on the street corner, the twins(mostly) are getting strapped DOWN. Can we also discuss that a guy I met on tinder that I am not remotely interested in, is texting me as we speak. FML, AGAIN.

Anyway, side tracked much? That should be my middle name because I have a serious case of ADD.  I tested positive for it in college, hence the unlimited supply, that I definitely did not sell(lies) of aderall.

 So I grabbed drinks with a bestie of mine tonight before he went on a date. Let me tell you, this, bestie is amaze balls. He's smart, unbelievably witty, successful, strives for greatness in everything that he does, and fucking GORGEOUS. He had an hour point five to kill before his date so we chatted and had some buzz causing beverages that would definitely help him break the ice later.

Quick back ground- I know this man, based off another friendrelationship (yes one word) I had with his ex....many I am sure are wide-eyed & bushy tailed at this statement, I stayed friends with the friend-of-mines-ex?! Yes people, I did. This guy pulled me out of a rut while I was helping him with his. What brought us together formed and molded our future. While we eventually discoverered that we may, in another universe, very well have eventually been brought together because of our "great minds" we were, fortunately and unfortunately, brought together by a tragedy.  Let me tell you this, I have never seen someone go through so much strife, turmoil, heart crushing, mood-killing, can't eat, can't sleep, want nothing in this world but what I lost, situation and still come out on top, though he may not see it, he is. The things he has taught me, the friendship he has blessed me with, the person that he is, will remain forever.

It kills me that my other friend, gave up, if you will, on him. Kills. He lost BIG. And in a perfect world, he would be here. This is where the: Do things REALLY happen for a reason? Another blog, another day.

 Long story short, if you have something great, don't quit it. I have learned in the last 10.5 months, something I have repeated in this blog one million times: if you have something in your world, life, etc that brings you an ounce of happiness, hope, faith, or brightness, that you see a future with, that you LOVE, that you can build on, whether it be a job, plan, a move, or a relationship, keep it, work for it, reciprocate it. It's your life. Make a choice, live it, and love it, and don't fucking quit it.

Xo.

"What part of LA do you live in?" And Other Important thoughts and questions that go through my head

Oh me. Single as all get out, in the dating world, BIG TIME, not just a toe dipper, nope I am full on doused into the deep end of it.  Yes I am on Tinder, yes I am on Ok Cupid, and yes, I am too cheap to join Match/E-Harmony so I am going with the free ones...which has not proven to be worth it yet but can you complain when you aren't paying for anything....? The things I have stumbled upon, the people I have met, and the amount of drinks I have downed to get through some pretty horrendous dates are quite....interesting.  My last two blog posts can show you a little insight into that. Here are a small amount of things that go through my mind when I am gandering (it's a word even though this tells me it's not- I made it up apparently) at these so called "Dating Bios." How old is he...? Dating sites have filters mostly...unfortunately for Ok Cupid, anyone can message you- but it filters out the age you don't want from your viewing.  So this week for inst...

Rants and Rants and No Raves

Just some things that drive this girl batty- LA DRIVERS- Sometimes I think I need my own reality show (pause for hysterics) but seriously, like just when I am driving in my car.  Can we talk about Los Angeles drivers (literally as I typed that sentence I hear a symphony of car horns on the street below my office window) they are the WORST, although when I was in NYC I feared for my life in the cab, more then once....  BUT LA! I MEAN HOLY CRAP.  I am from Seattle- the traffic there is a fraction of the traffic here, and at the appropriate times- morning, and evening.  Traffic in LA happens at 7AM,  8am, 11am, 1PM, 3PM, 5PM, 6PM, 7PM, 8PM, and etc etc etc etc.  It is one of the main of a small amount of reasons I hate this city, the lack of transportation and how the geography is laid out.  If you live in West LA, and I live in East, you can forget hanging out until Saturdays or Sundays.  When I was on dating apps (SO glad those days are over...

Currently Edition 4

Oh hello!  My last Currently  was in December! My how time has flown!  Already 11 days into April.  OH and FYI, it's been 105 years since Titanic's maiden voyage (NERD ALERT, if you have read my past blogs, you know I am a Titanic fan) and on April 14, it's been 105 years since she sunk.  Since I was 11 I have been remembering this date as if it should be a national day on calendars, to remember. ANYWAY...April 11! So much has happened since December.  Work pace has picked up, I am heading 3 brand new, and time consuming projects that are actually SO MUCH FUN and I am loving them.  But...alas this is not a blog about my job, it's about the going on's in my life! Here goes nothing... Drinking This isn't really as exciting when it's not a festive time of year...but the usualy, coffee from the Keurig in the AM with almond milk.. TONS of H2O throughout the day, I think I spend equal amounts of time at my desk and in the bathroom because I have to go ...
