Xanga welcomed me back

 

I signed into Xanga today and a banner on every page reads, Welcome back! And I guess it's appropriate cause it has been awhile since I've last visited. My, how the design layout's changed, but what's up with the annoying ads every time I go back to my homepage?

So, what's new?

After not working for a month (mostly not by choice), I got a job through the temp agency: receptionist. Which I have a small amount of experience with, however I don't think I'll be getting any #1 receptionist awards any time soon. So it's good it's only temporary and I'm not trying to make a career out of it, cause I'm not that good.

Looks like the WGA strike might be over, so I read. Hopefully that'll bring more industry related jobs my way.

I feel very boring right now, as I have no exciting news to talk about. Hmmm, let's see.

I learned how to make green and red enchiladas last night, in addition to spanish rice. That was fun.

I've been feeling both anxious and confused of late.

Confused about a number of things: my career, God, my place in God's will. Funny that the sermon on Sabbath was about the wilderness taken from the passage where Jesus is tempted in the desert. Funny that when it started I thought I wouldn't have anything to learn because of the numerous sermons I've heard on "the wilderness" but Pastor Ryan's message was very fresh and insightful. I prayed with him and afterwards he told me that he's been getting a lot of calls lately requesting prayer and thought the passage (picked months in advance) was very apropos for this week. At least I know I'm not alone.

I've been feeling anxious I suppose about the same things: my career, God's will. Also, although I suppose antsy is a better word, about a new stage of life. You probably know well that last year, '06, I moved five times. All in LA, but each time a new area and, for the most part, new roommates. In March I will have lived in the same place for a year. Maybe it's my sense of adventure, but I'm ready for something new. On one hand I hate change, but on the other I crave it. The entertainment industry is like that, nothing is certain. And while I hate not having a steady job, I like that every month or two there are new faces, new challenges, new environment, new responsibilities and it's all in the realm of what I have a passion for (now if I can just start getting those jobs again...). Anyway, maybe because that's how my career path plays out or maybe because I'm not in the that particular work environment at the moment, I want a change in my personal life. So I'm antsy, bored, looking for something new. And yes, anxious, always anxious about what that change will be.

i totally know how you feel. only with art/music not film and moving. but yeah, i think that is why we are in these fields...we mostly crave the unknown adventure, but we have peace because we know whatever happens God will take care of us. Being bored can be an adventure...just think abstractly.

i have a picture of us playing our instruments together in my painting studio. I think it was in 2nd and 4th grade. We are in our pj's: you on violin and me on cello. I love looking at it! Makes me happy...oh and what is apropos? some type of LA slang?

Dear daughter #1,
Yeah, I know how you feel and will feel. I like it when all goes smoothly and I THINK I am at where I should be the REST of my life.HA! Life sure isn't like that, but I keep thinking it SHOULD be. Anyway, you are where you should be for awhile so let God use you in whatever way-smiles, coffee, "how are you's?" and so forth.
Love you-Mom

*sigh* I know college isn't for everyone, I just have problems believing it isn't for me.  A teach I'd had (and worked for as a lab assistant) came into the store the other day--more specifically my department of the store--and stopped to ask how I was and what I'm doing.  I hate having to say "I'm only working...at Walmart."  I both hate and love Gilmore Girls for making working full time at Walmart a running joke. lol...it's odd.  I wish that a lot of things could have been different at VU; in retrospect I don't think I was that great a roommate...so thanks for putting up with me :)  I wish we could have spent more time hanging with less responsibilities.  I really do hate homework.  I would totally move to LA except that I have to be here for this moment.  I may not like it a lot, but I'm learning a lot.  I know my character better than I ever have and God twice as well as that.  It's hard, but easy because the end will be worth it.  I love you, Slee, thanks for commenting on my blog.

Wow, I can't imagine moving that often! I'm in the process of moving right now (into my backyard), and even though I am excited, I wouldn't make this a hobby, to tell you the truth!

Sounds like these are anxious times for you... good luck and I'll praying for you!
