so today i had an interview with warner brothers but after the interview i almost hope she doesnt call. its 60 hours a week at 550 before taxes. hmm, do the math, that is less that ten dollars an hour. i would feel obligated to take the job because Patrick put out the effort to get me the interview, but at the same time...do i really want to waste my life by working more nearly half of awake time so that i can say i worked at the WB? i am not sure what to do. i havent got the job yet to even turn it down, but at the same time, i dont think i want it. i am not that consumed with "the business" to waste my time. i think instead i am going to call around to some photographers and see if they need assistants...at least then i will be learning more about something i have some education and slight passion in. i didnt come out here for nothing.
this week has gone by fairly quickly, but the days are so long. i barely remember what i did. one interesting thing i did this week was go roller skating. tiffany is training to be a "derby doll" which is really violent speed skating. she got new skates in the mail and wanted to try them out, so we went to a skating rink in the valley. how fun to skate with a bunch of 5-10 year olds. i am actually pretty good at it, but not enough to want to get my ass kicked voluntarily by stressed out women with pent up aggression. nessa and i went on a walk today and to eat, then to see batman begins...its an alright movie. not a huge fan of katie holmes...no real suspense or drama. typical action flick i guess.
i talked to cheryl today which was nice because i dont talk to her nearly as much as carol and mom because of our schedules. i cant really call till after 9pm and she is usually in bed by then. it was nice to talk to her. maybe it is the homesickness setting in, but i am not sure i am so happy here. though i feel different. i am not nearly as "brutally" sarcastic, but still sarcastic. i am very much at peace here and feeling closer to my goals in one way or another. i still have a long way to go.
i have really been thinking about the TEFL thing. which is teaching english in other countries. (www.tefl.com). for some reason it keeps coming to mind. now is the perfect time to do it, though i now feel somewhat obligated to stay in los angeles (at least as a base) because of living with tiffany. i guess i can go through all the classes and see what is really available for me before i make any rash decisions. i will be here for a while, but what a great way to get paid to travel and be emerced in other cultures. we'll see what happens.
i am listening to my arabic on the way to work, i should probably make more of an effort to study languages, but in a way pointless since i dont know anyone that speaks them!!
OH YEAH..TOTALLY forgot really cool thing i did....becky, you will be impressed!! SALSA LESSONS!!! trinas salon does free salsa lessons. and there were actually boys there to dance with...they were super nice..frank, a red-headed white boy from equador, his long time buddy marsela, also from equador and geno, very tall brother, but i dont know where he is from. they all had ryhthm...very fun!!! we had margaritas and learned some basic steps and danced around. i must admit though, i have a problem with following a guys lead...geno said.."whats a matter, dont you trust me?" and i guess i didnt, but its only dancing right? there is no reason not to be relaxed and let him do all the work. regardless, they were super nice guys and i had a lot of fun learning to salsa...couple more lessons and i will have to come home and take becky dancing!!! hahah=)
everyone is away at KHO, no new stuff to read...makes for a boring day. luckily i have abbi...she is writing lots of great things and gives me some things to ponder on. i am sad for cindys mom, but i am sure she will be ok.
this weekend is pretty packed i think....friday there are two parties to go to...saturday we were supposed to go to a movie in a cemetary but it got cancelled...sunday is david bryne at hollywood bowl, which from what i hear is going to be my sunday afternoon hot spot all summer. they have outdoor concerts in a park and its really cheap. will be cool to hang out with everyone.
i have one request. i am not going to elaborate, let the spirit take over that, but please pray for a particular area of my life. i need all the help i can get. thats my request, and i know with you all i will get lots of devout prayers and petitions.
i cant think of anything else that was exciting that happened this week. keep in prayer about my job cause i do still need to pay my bills...that i will find something i dont dread and that will be sufficient for my needs.
keep writing, keep reading....stop being lazy with the comments...i write more when i know people actually read it.
oh yeah, another thing to pray for, somewhat disconnected from me. a girl at encore feilds ertel fell down some steps and died on friday...her memorial services were this week. she was young and getting ready to get married and her fiancee found her. pray for the family....its a trajic loss.
love you all

Glad to hear that things are well. If you want to work abroad instead of teaching english, check out bunac.org. They mainly deal with sending people to Australia/New Zealand for a year or so to work. You might want to look into it.
Dont give her ideas that are even farther away from home. However, it would be an even cooler place to go visit!!!
cheryl
i know how you feel w/not having anything to read. i'm glad to have yours for sure! just let god lead you w/your job and things will be cool. i totally got that with michael's job. although it's very easy to say and hard to do. i'll be praying for you, as always. for whatever reason you've been on my heart and i almost cry everytime i read from you. i thought it was just missing you, but maybe it was god telling me to pray. i love you and i hope you know that i am here for you.
love ya
who died?
