Moving, Arcadia, Gym

So! I have successfully been in Arcadia for over a week.  It's been weird but good I guess? I feel like I get into such a rhythm when I come home.  I still feel like I'm in "visit mode."  I feel like I need to go out all the time with this urgent feeling that I'm going to leave soon for SF. BUT... I am not. So after I realize that I'm here for good, or at least for awhile, I'm sad.  I really miss SF and Ellen and all my other friends in the bay area. *sigh. But! I guess LA is fun too. I get to hang out with Susie a lot and I get to see my family... all the time.  I feel so useless since I haven't worked in like three months. I'm turning into a certifiable BUM. Yeesh. I wake up everyday at like 11 or 12... or 1. And I mostly just hang out in the living room on the couch watching tv... or I watch tv in bed in my room. The one thing I have been doing that's positive is going to the gym! I went to the gym last week THREE days in a row!! Only for like 30 minutes at a time, but still. I'm going!

My first weekend home it was Andrew and Magus' birthday parties at Tokio on Cahuenga in Hollywood and then on Sunday Melissa was down in LA so we hung out! Susie, Melissa, and I watched 27 Dresses! It was soooo great. Very very cute and sweet. James Marsden is pretty damn cute (I'd hit it).  I spent the rest of Sunday semi-studying for the GRE... yuck. Monday I actually took the GRE and got a pretty horrible, but passing, score. So! Since I don't need to take the damn test, I'm just going to forget I ever took it. :) Yes. Avoidance and forgetfulness is best.  The rest of the week I just hit the gym and hung out at home mostly.  This last weekend, it rained like a mother so yeah, I just mostly stayed in doing nothing at home. Niiice. Yesterday I hit the gym and then met up for lunch with Susie and Chris.  We had a really YUMMY lunch at Panera Bread (I got french onion soup and a chicken caesar sandwich) and then after we were bored so we walked around Paseo (DSW, Loehmann's, Sephora, MAC... I just got a cool eyebrow powder thingy and an eyeliner) and then we walked around Old Town a bit.

Since we couldn't figure out what to do... we walked around the MALL.  Wow we walked around THREE shopping centers yesterday. Nice. We tried the frozen yogurt at Ce Fiore (which is GOOD... as good as pinkberry I'd say) and then decided to eat dinner at The Hat. Susie and I shared an order of chili cheese fries and Chris got a burger. Yum.  And after dinner, I hung out at my friend's house and played hold 'em for like three hours with the boys. Niiiice.  I lost $8 which isn't too bad considering I played for so long!

Today I had an appt with my personal trainer at 24 Hour Fitness and man... my body is in pain. Yeesh. I've never worked my body sooo hard before. And now, I'm back in bed watching Friends. I really need to get a job or something... although I'm sure I'll be complaining of not having enough time to be lazy once my pre-req classes start. Hm.
