What a wonderful day. Went to GST with Myara, it was soooo good to be back! But also so hard since I hadn't done it in months!! After class I decided to stop by Frederic Fekkai to see if they could give me my woke-up-in-a-dumpster-hippie-mermaid hair, so I talked with Henry and Kelly and made an appointment for 1:00! So I went and had a quick lunch and then headed back to FF.
Oh how I love Kelly. She's the coolest ever. She's like 32 and still seems soooo young and fun and I hope to be like her when I'm her age. She just got married last month so i was looking through all her pics on her ipad - such a beautiful wedding! I hope I have her life some day cause she just seems so happy! - and has a really cool job, a really cute husband, and a really hot bod! Oh, and she does the best blowouts in the history of blowouts. The ultimate bombshell barbie hair. Ok so as she's cutting my hair she says she's going to sweet lady jane after and wants to know if i want anything, i said i had never been there so she gave me two choices - the italian wedding cake or the berry shortcake (which i realized i HAD had because Merle brought it to Terrie's birthday dinner). So i opted for the wedding cake.
So I go upstairs and hang with Henry (who i always feel sooooo sorry for because he always seems so sad about not being able to eat lunch) and he started in on painting my hair with globs and globs of bleach. I'm not gonna lie, i was sitting in my chair fretting that this homeless mermaid thing might not be a good look, or that it would come out blonde at the ends (i just wanted it to fade to light brown) but I realized that he's a pro and knows what he's doing, so i just sat there and endured the painting. Kelly returned with a massive slice of cake for me and it was delicious! I ate a third of it and packaged the rest back up.
So once the dyeing was done I went back downstairs so kelly could blowdry me up a hair fairytale and it looked amazing as usual. I was also relieved to see that my hair was not blonde, it was in fact not as light as I had wanted, I guess hairdressers really aren't into giving clients homeless mermaid hair cause it would reflect pretty badly on them! BUT kelly did say that it'll lighten with washing "it'll be like a fun little surprise every time you blowdry it!" And it does look really good right now so i'm perfectly happy with it!
Came home, read, and got ready for dinner with Andrew #2 (#2 because his roommate is Andrew #1 who we met first). We went to Citizen Smith which was really cool and had really good food - the desserts looked SO good, but i opted out because I'd already had Kelly's cake. Dinner conversation was entertaining. We talked about books.
Went to sleep at 10:30 cause i'm still running on Toronto time (and liking it).
Today I learned two things:
1. Americans pronounce Mom how it's spelled (think - rhymes with palm) and Canadians pronounce it Mum. I'd never realized this til now. I thought everyone pronounced it Mum and it was just Brandon that said it differently.
2. I FINALLY discovered the location of the waterfall/jungle malibu hike described to me by roger last summer. Henry and Andrew both told me today that I need to go to El Matador beach and that the waterfall hike is across the PCH from it. I'm terribly excited, and will hit that up on Monday. (I'm not even gonna attempt going to a beach on a weekend).
Saturday
Woke up at 6:30 and didn't even try to fall back to sleep cause i'm gonna roll with eastern standard time for as long as possible! Went for a wonderful overcast hike. All hikes are wonderful, but today was especially wonderful cause it was the perfect temperature, perfect amount of clouds and the running part just keeps getting easier and easier! And i was listening to my hiking playlist from when I first moved here and it brought back wonderful memories. I'm really looking forward to another fall here. Although it wont be the same without Valley Oak and Maria stressing about the patio cushions getting soaked... hahahah.
After the hike went home and got ready for lunch with Matt. We FINALLY made it to Oliver (the restaurant at our gym) after talking about going there since October. The food was delicious, the ambiance sterile yet calming. It was good to catch up with him, and he told me a pretty funny story about a certain sweat monster who he's been seeing at the gym getting winded after dribbling a basketball and shooting baskets for 15 mins. I laughed. I enjoy his company. He also told me that there's a tanning area at the sepulveda gym, so after our lunch I went straight to Ashford's office so he could hook me up with a pass to that gym. Apparently there's some wonderful sundeck that I had no idea about! I'm pumped. It solves my lack of pool woes! I just hope my elbow isn't gonna do that annoying popping junk anymore. After arranging my pass Ashford says "i've been trying to date you for like 6 months, is it ever gonna happen?" I didn't wanna flat out say "no", so instead I just straight up just went into a rant about how i'm quitting dating until I find someone who's perfectly perfect for me. I then wondered if i had put my foot in my mouth (as I always do), by insinuating that he's not "perfect." Why oh why is it so difficult to just be friends with boys!? (I say this even though the majority of my friends out here are boys)...
I then went to Hot Rod cause Cam said he was gonna be there. He never showed. Jerkstore. But it didnt matter cause Hunter and Kyle were both there. And Johnny......... And this kid named Christian who was awesome who used to work there. So we hung out, checked out the new shirts, I was severely disappointed with their new women's tees. Way too tight... or maybe its cause my pipes are too big. But the mens colorways are AMAZING. They all had a good laugh at my expense about my preference for mens tshirts. And they said my mom was awesome for voting for their mountain dew can.
Tonight I watched P Rats ... I mean R Pats in Remember Me. It sucked. I was disappointed cause I'd heard good things. I'm seriously starting to wonder whats wrong with me cause i have a very hard time sitting through/paying attention to movies these days. So many of them just don't interest me! Oh - and Leigh says i'm crazy for not liking romantic comedies.
Speaking of movies, see Chloe. It comes out on DVD next week. Starring my favorite Real Raw Live green drinking buddy Amanda Seyfried. The most amazing part of it is that it's filmed in Toronto and actually SET in Toronto! That never happens! They're always filmed here (and by "here" i mean toronto) and pawned off as New York! But this one is amazing - so much of it takes place at the Windsor Arms - even in my beloved tea room! Although they don't sit in my dark dark dark purple room, they sit in the neutral room, but still. It's a really good movie. Rent it.
It's 10:30, well past my EST bedtime so i better get to bed!
