change.

i realized that i still need to get used to the constant flux of people coming in and out of my life...and that it's okay. and the need to find a balance between being numb to people leaving, and allowing it to devastate you. it's very tricky, this thing we call change.

Apple Z

when i was in college, two of my friends were graphic design majors. they both had macs, so when they would want to 'undo' something while designing, they would press Apple Z. i remember them saying how they wished they could press Apple Z in real life. you know, 'undo' something that actually happened. ha. i love that. and totally wish it could happen. i've definitely been having Apple Z moments lately. whether it's pressing send on an email and wishing i could Apple Z that, or letting something slip out of my lips and wishing i could Apple Z those words.

but alas, there is no 'undo' button in life. just having grace with yourself and learning from your mistakes.

driving sneezes.

have you ever been able to keep your eyes open while sneezing? this morning i was driving in to work and had to sneeze. i definitely love a good sneeze, so i wasn't going deny that sweet release...but i did happen to be driving on a windy road at the time, and closing my eyes wasn't the best idea. i tried to keep them open, but alas, i haven't quite figured out how to do that!

last day of summer.

wow. is that right? tomorrow is the first day of fall. that seems crazy to me. i am secretly hoping that i will wake up and it won't be 90 degrees out, i will feel a crisp breeze as i walk, and i will crunch A LOT of leaves.

here's to hoping?

500 days!

after seeing 500 days of summer, a few friends and i decided to find the bench from the movie!

pershing square.

the bench :)

red light?

someone literally ran right through a red light today. not some light that just barely turned red, a full on red light. it was crazy. who does that?

i'm just trying to help you out.

while walking back from the bank yesterday evening, i found myself waiting for the light to change at ventura and laurel canyon. i first see a police car pull up in the far left lane. no big deal, that's pretty normal. then a girl pulls up in the far right lane, right into the crosswalk. she's not exactly paying much attention to me being a pedestrian and realizing that i will be crossing eventually. i see her rummage through her bag and pull out her blackberry. hmmmm. so me, trying to be a kind, compassionate person, i say to her through her open window "just so you know, there is a cop right there." the girl looks at me and starts giving me all this attitude..."i was just...." (i didn't really catch what she said). so i respond, "i was just trying to help you out!" just then, she gets a green arrow to turn right and wizzes away. i think to myself, man, what is it with people?
