oh my goodness....
life has been DULL for the past couple of weeks..pretty much getting used to my new job, getting used to a new school year, and getting used to feeling the looming pressure of both my senior internship and my senior thesis, which i have not touched since the spring.
I am honestly starting to freak out a bit. i mean, you start your freshmen year of college ready for the world, to meet new people, not even thinking of what its really gonna take for you to get the diploma in your hand that proves you have endured 4 years of hell in order to be qualified to work at the same job you do now, but at a higher rate. Im telling you, college is such a pain in my nalgas! Lucky for me, ive gotten my whole undergrad basically paid for and even bought a car with extra money leftover from my scholarships (having a 4.0 has its benefits!). but now i am up against Bowzer, the big daddy, and apocolyse that is keeping me from further pursuing my career and travels........my frickin senior thesis.
now, i am lucky enough to attend a small private school...and by small i mean tiny...and by tiny i mean microscopic! why is this lucky? well, everyone knows everyone, and the teachers are super cool about helping and whatnot (some you have to bribe with cookies..). i am sooooo stoked to be done with my undergrad education, mostly because no one thought i would make it, much less from a private school thats paying for everything. and i wanna get outta here. ive lived here my WHOLE life, and i need a different scene......L.A. is looking good....but so is Barcelona....hmmmmm....
in the midst of all this stress....i find out that my bestest friend in the world is basically leaving me to go to school back home..............................3 HOURS AWAY! now, im not the type of person to get attached to people easily..i know people come and go all the time and its natural. but now my BEST FRIEND, the only one i have really had is leaving me! woe to me! i will miss her so! but...i must let her go so she can pursue her dreams (and her man) and hopefully in about 2 years we will both be sipping on margaritas down at the Santa Monica Pier....or in Spain...WHO KNOWS!
so, while i have been going nuts and running around like a lunatic trying to juggle everything going on in my life...HE appears. no, not Jesus....but MICKEY ROURKE! now i know everyone likes to hate on him because of his botched plastic surgeries, but i am IN LOVE! and i dont mean "oh yeah hes a good actor" love, i mean "OMG! i cant stop crying because his character died in The Wrestler and I imagined what it would be like if he was really dead" love. yeah, i know. im insane. thats what happens when there are LITERALLY NO MEN around these parts worth my time. (if you havent watched the wrestler, i suggest you do, its so goooooood! plus, u get to see Mickeys tush! LOL).
and while in my head are detailed fantasies of what i would say to Mickey if i ever met him, i must get back to reality, which today includes trying to define the parameters of my experiment for my senior thesis (which will turn into sitting in front of the TV and watching 9 1/2 weeks starring..u guessed it..mickey rourke and later The Jersey Shore)
if you are ever in the blockbuster at sequoia station in redwood city, tell Eric he is awesome. hes setting aside all Mickey Rourke movies for me!
A.A.K.
