| Lesson of the week: Patience
Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind. - Leonardo da Vinci
This week has been filled with disappointment, anxiety and feeling completely disillusioned. I am trying so hard to have faith and patience, but I have come to the point where I feel like I cannot deal with this anymore. Basically, to make a long story short, I had a job interview, it seemed to be my dream job, I went back for a second interview, the interviews seemed to go very well, I sent a thank you note, left a message a week later, then left another message a week later, now it's been a week since the last message and still nothing. . . . why??? At this point I just feel like I need to know either way.

| Pre-Birthday Events of the Weekend so Far
So it is my birthday tomorrow, and I have to say that I have had a very good pre-birthday 3 days so far. Friday night me and 4 friends ventured out into the heart of Lala land, also known as Hollywood.
Our first stop,Tokio, a retro, funky sushi bar/ restaurant where there is a DJ spinning music such as Bloc Party with MJ's Billy Jean. We indulged ourselves in some appetizers including Edamame. Miso Soup and an Artichoke concoction with a spicy Mayo sauce. Then we moved on to the big guys, ordering a Spicy Tuna roll, Soft Shell Crab roll in Soy Paper, Spicy Lobster roll, and the signature Tokio roll which included salmon, cream cheese and Eel. We also had a variety of alcholic beverages including: Absolut Vanilla and Diet Coke, some Chardonnay, 2 bottles of hot Sake, and my favorite while eating sushi: Hypnotic & Sake Martini with three raspberries.
Next stop, Spider Club, Beauty Bar and Concorde. We had some more cocktails and danced our arses off. Rumored to be out on the town was the infamous Lindsay Lohan, my conclusion of why I did not see her was that at the time that I looked, she turned to the side, where at that point she disappeared because she is too skinny. Some honorable mentions are Johnny Knoxville, may I add that this is the second weekend in a row that I have seen him and each time I blushed, Nicole Richie and Kirsten Dunst.
What I learned from my night out: It is very easy to get caught up in the LA scene, and to take everything you see and internalize it. I found myself staring at other girls feeling the insecurities stir inside of me thinking that I was not pretty enough, skinny enough or that I was not "fashion" enough. But then I realized, that yes, I could look like all the other girls if I really wanted. . .I could go on the Lindsay Lohan/ Nicole Richie diet, I could bleach my hair, get a boob job, and spend money that I don't have to increase my wardrobe, but would I really be happy after all of that? No. And, what would really be all of the fun in that?? After that mental conversation I came to the conclusion that I like me, so. . . I proceeded to dance my arse off with some very lovely young ladies.
At the end of the night, my friend Andrea and I discussed and analyzed the way in which the young men of today hit on the young ladies. It is inevitable that if you say that you are not interested that they say, "I just want to be friends". . . come on now, what guy really just wants to be friends after he just hit on you in a bar?????????? And on what basis does he want to be friends? On my sweet dance moves or my cleavage? All in all, it really felt like an episode out of Sex in the City. | | |
