Quickie Update
I feel like I'm neglecting you, so I'll give ya a quick update.
1. I had a birthday last week. It was a major one. Guess which. It was good and it was bad. There were tears, laughter, friendship, sight seeing, food and drink, and all that good stuff involved. Will post pics eventually.
2. I'm moving to LA. Officially. In about 10 days. I have nothing but my menial job lined up. Looking to get my hustle on. Forreal. (If you know peeps in LA, help a friend out. The more contacts the better.)
3. After said major birthday, I'm reevaluating my life and hoping to gain the things I want in the near future. Been thinking a lot about that. I have a weird sense of entitlement and lofty goals and dreams.
4. I just finished Season 2 of "Girls" and Hannah is doing the most. I think I'm more into the boys of "Girls" than the girls of "Girls."
5. I'm nervous about my jump to LA. Very nervous. Pray for me.
6. I'm liking the Bay Area a lot more. It's very beautiful.
7. I think I'm going to retire from the bar scene. It stems from my inability to drink and drive. Not interested and not really interested in the people in bars, so I guess I shall try to be social elsewhere. Or I could continue to be antisocial, but let's be real, my name is Cynsetional for a reason.
That's it for now. Love ya!

Dating Coworkers
I don't date coworkers (anymore). I learned my lesson.
Last week, one of my coworkers asked me to go to the zoo. I heard zoo and I jumped on it. Animals, sunshine, a friend, why the hell not, right? WRONG. When he started acting weird and nervous and FORMAL about our plans, I realized, hey, maybe this isn't a friendly trip to the zoo, maybe it's a...date. I didn't realize this coworker, who is probably twenty years my senior and who I thought was a homosexual, was pursuing me. I was so hungry for friendship that I was blinded.
I slipped my way out of the zoo trip, which I'm still sad about because I like the zoo! But more than I like the zoo, I hate feeling tricked into going on dates with people I am not interested in at all. When I mentioned the situation to another female coworker, this is what she said, "He likes to date the granddaughters not the grandmothers." Eww, especially since he's a grandfather.
Also, she told me his last girlfriend was 21 and had down syndrome. Seriously. Good for her, but what does that say about me?

Neighbors
My upstairs neighbors like to have loud bed creaking sex. Just thought you should know because I don't know how to deal with it.
I do a lot of huffing and turning the music up and being annoyed slash angry because it interrupts my quiet tiime. WTF y'all.
Maybe I should leave them some nuts and bolts so they can reinforce their squeaky ass bed. Get a better mattress platform people, or put that shit on the ground like the rest of us poor people. I don't get it.

Laundry and Convo
After wearing my bathing suit as underwear, I realized it was time to do laundry. I think I've been waiting to get a car to do laundry ha. I'm going to make a bold statement here... I bought my car in order to do laundry. Hauling laundry around town without a car or a little wheelie basket thing is the most unappealing thing in THE WORLD.
So, I packed up my focus and headed to the laundromat. I've been doing my own laundry for years now. In high school my mom would always shrink my clothes so I took over my own laundry duties then. Anyways, I popped the clothes and the coins into their allotted positions and I sat down to read/text my lovelies back home.
Then Betty walks in with her grandson. Betty is a teacher and an outgoing and lovely woman. She was teaching her ten year old grandson how to do laundry so that he'd be prepared for college and the future. We struck up a conversation about life, love, marriage and goals. Betty is in the middle of a divorce and my parents are divorced, so the conversation got real. I told her about my LA dreams and she was totally onboard with it. She said to focus on those goals and that everything else would fall in place. She also said to make my future partner go through an extensive interview process haha. I love that idea.
I will say that I've met a lot of kind and open people during my time here in Oakland. Many interesting conversations and opinions, but always welcoming and supportive. This place isn't as tough and radical as everyone claims it is. Or maybe it is and I just haven't seen it yet.
I love when I get a chance to believe in humanity again.
