Update

A lot has been happening lately...which is exciting and naturally a little overwhelming. I scored a babysitting gig which I'm excited about that pays 14 an hour plus some gas money and is only three times a week in the evenings but will ultimately pay all of my bills. Along with that I just started doing some freelance design for set materials for a TV show that is shooting on the Warner Bros lot. It pays well and I'm thinking it will hopefully help me get work on some shows in their Art department, Which would be epic. Along with that I got an interview for a Web Developer position and have my second interview on Monday for that job. If I get that position it would be full time with benefits [INSURANCE!!] which would be sweet but it's about an hour away which would equal out to about ten hours of driving a week..egh! But it would be worth the experience...plus there are always audio books! Besides the new job situations I have been just working on some web design for Christy Bruneau a musician and trying to design a good portfolio. If I don't get the Web Developer position then I'll have enough time to work on improving my design and still have more than enough money for bills and other expenses...obviously if I get offered the position then I'll have a lot of hard decisions to make but until then I'm just going to do my best to get the job on Monday!

Also...I NEEEEDDD to start exersising again and getting out there. I need to make friends! Ben and I have been having such a good time together that we really haven't pushed ourselves to go out and meet new people like we would have probably done if we had come out here alone. It's been great hanging out with Ben but I'd really like to meet some girls with similar intrests in the area. I'm thinking of going to some of the bike coop type places around on the "ladies" night...and also joining a weekly cycling club or other clubs but I have been a little nervous about just making it happen. I think as far as the cycling club goes I really want to get back into some kind of decent shape before I join them for a 40 mile ride! I've decided that I can for sure fit in doing the route below at least 4 times a week...probably more and even though it is short [only 5.24 miles] it has a decent climb of 600+ feet and will be a good start at least. If it becomes too easy i'll push it further but I think that the climbing will help me get in shape and then i'll go on a few longer rides maybe on the weekends...drive down to Santa Monica and ride along the coast or something.
