Oh, why'd you have to be so cute?

Okay so since I'm such a horrible blog neglecter, this post is going to be extremely long. What's new? So! Since I've been in L.A., I've had so many adventures!!

My cousin, Trang, was with me for the first week, and we basically hung out with Lynn a lot and went sight-seeing and stuff. We also went to Universal Studios with my twin, Ryan, who's interning here for the summer!! I'm so glad he is, because without him here, I'd be so alone. :( Anyhow, Universal was so amazing!! I was proud of myself, on my feet for 7 hours and I didn't start complaining about being tired until hour 6. The lines and crowds were minimal, and we went on every ride and pretty much saw every show! We even went on the Jurassic Park and The Mummy rides twice, because they were our favorite!! The studio backlot tour was unbelievable. It was amazing to see all the sets of tons of movies I've seen right there in front of my eyes, and how it's a SET, not a real city or whatever! And we drove down Wisteria Lane, where Desperate Housewives is filmed, which is pretty cool. After that, we walked up and down Hollywood Blvd until I was just utterly exhausted (in my defense, everyone else was tired too!), then we went home.

After Trang left, Ryan and I went to see Imogen Heap in concert and let me tell you, she is INCREDIBLE live!! Plus, she's such a delightful little British woman. Such a character. In fact, I'm listening to her album while I'm writing this, hence the title of this post. "Oh, why'd you have to be cute? It's impossible to ignore you...." Great stuff. The next day, I went over to Ryan's neck of the woods and we went and saw Toy Story 3 in Huntington Beach (it was the second time for me to see it, the first time I went with Trang). Man, that movie is the best. I'm amazed at Pixar's ability to churn out one masterpiece after another. The supply of great ideas seems limitless coming from them! I'd be up for seeing it a third time actually.

So, Lynn was gone for a week, but she came back on Wednesday and I've been hanging out with her. We're going to see Eclipse together (hehehe don't judge), and also, on Thursday Ryan and I are going to the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson!!! The guest that night is Angela Kinsey from The Office!!! I'm so excited!! I ordered Jimmy Kimmel tickets for us as well, but I have yet to receive an e-mail confirmation, so that's still kinda up in the air.

Work so far is pretty fun. I'm starting to feel more at home here. I hate that I'm shy by nature, and that I've had to work very hard to overcome it. But whenever I'm thrust into new situations, I'm always horribly shy and awkward and quiet for the first few days, then I open up all of a sudden (not slowly) and suddenly I'm a wired chatterbox and nobody knows what the hell happened. I hate it!! It makes me look like a crazy person!!

I also hate that I'm such a blogging slacker, because once I get around to blogging, I have so much to squeeze into one post that I end up having to summarize everything to avoid writing a novel. Bah.

I've been having a lot of thoughts lately. Just thoughts about a lot of stuff. I can't stop thinking about the person I am, and the person I want to be. It's like I'm always on this never ending road of self-molding. But that's what life is, I know. It's just weird that I really like the person that I am, but I have this gnawing in the back of my mind that tells me I'm not the kind of person I want to be. Does that make sense? No? Okay. I wish I was the kind of person who knew what they wanted and went for it without hesitation. I guess I'm 60% there, more or less. I do go for what I want, but I do tend to hesitate a lot. And I wish I wasn't so shy and self-conscious. Being self-conscious is the most irritating feeling in the world. Ugh!! I wish I could just go up to people and tell them they were beautiful, or go up to assholes and tell them they were assholes. Or have a conversation with someone I don't entirely know. A real conversation. I wish I connected with people more easily. I wish, I wish, I wish. Alright, I'm off to do something about that.

Also, I'm obsessed with frozen yogurt. I don't know what came over me.
