I haven’t blogged in a while and I have some uncommon downtime at the moment so I thought what the hay! ha

Things sure have changed a lot in the last month. I up and moved to Phoenix, started yet another job but glad I had a whole month to get aquainted with Phoenix and get all movecd in and settled into my new apartment with my new roommate. There’s adjustment pains I think but you’re going to have that no matter what I think.

I was just perusing facebook and saw some of my friends pics from a “wine night” the girls had and it makes me reminisce about a time when I thought these girls were going to become really good friends of mine. That’s sad. But that’s LA.

I’m from Iowa. Sure you have to hang out with people to get to know them and truly become good friends but I feel like we don’t fake it. If we like people we hang out with them, if we don’t like them we don’t. Simple. Not in LA. I spent months hanging out and developing (so I thought) relationships with these girls and in the end I found myself alone, in LA, jobless, soon to be homeless and just really lonely. Even now thinking back, it makes me sad. If only I had had that wonderful LA experience so many people I know or have talked to have had.

So far in Phoenix I’ve met a lot of really great people. I have people to call when I want to do something, I have people to call when I need to talk, I can actually find a ride to/from the airport. I can afford to live here.

The funny thing is I was called and/or offered quite a few jobs before I left LA but the pay was just ridiculous for the cost of living there. What’s funny about that is I took a job here making what I was being offered in LA and I pay 1/4 of the rent. It’s kinda crazy.

Adjusting to living with yet another roommate is challenging. I feel like all my roommates have been so different and you just can’t ever get a good idea of how well you are going to mesh with someone unless you know that person prior to moving in with them. And that’s not always the best situation. I’ve known tons of people who are no longer friends after living together. Honestly, I don’t really get the people who say they love their roommates and are like bff’s with them. I guess they just got REALLY lucky.

Anyway that’s my 2cents for the day.
