It's Official.

I officially became a California resident yesterday. I have a California driver's license and can vote in the state that elected Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor, however, I still don't have a job - so we'll see how long this lasts.

I had an interview with California's version of Inner Harbour today. If I get this job I'll be working as a Classroom Counselor - being a teacher's aide in a psychiatric treatment facility for kids. Sound familiar?

I may not have a job, but I do have a part in a play. This is my first acting job that pays more than imdb credit and a copy of the dvd. It's not much, but it is money. I'll be playing a soldier who goes AWOL from basic training on his way to Vietnam, and who plans on blowing up the pope. Now, I know what you're thinking, and to answer your question: yes, I will be using a Brooklyn accent, and, yes, I will be tackling a nun to the ground.

I like it out here pretty well. The people are cool and there's lots to do. I would like it more if I had a job, but what can you do? Before I came out here I found out that I had one friend from college who had recently moved to the area. He let me stay at his place and helped me get acquainted to the area until I found my own place. Unfortunately, this is a friend that I intentionally cut out of my life and planned on never having to see again. In a nutshell, I hate him. He's a horrible person, and spending time with him feels like slowly shoving an ice pick into my lungs. I feel obligated to hang out with him because he was so nice in helping me get set up and such. Plus, he calls like every other day and wants to do something. So I can only feign excuses like twice a week.

I live one block from the library. It's magical. I also live in a gated community, but I was never given a key to the gate. It's not a problem when I'm coming in - because I can just punch in the access code and get the car gates to open. But when I'm leaving on foot I've had more trouble. For the past month or so I've been climbing the gate when no one's looking. My roommate told me yesterday that there's another gate that doesn't need a key for you to exit.

I've watched 'The House Bunny' twice since I've been here.

I hope everyone's doing well. I miss you all terribly.
