such a seal...

I recently discovered that there is a Seal Beach out here in California. what...a find. I feel like if we don't all take a trip there, we will regret it even more than wearing sunglasses in that one photo.

and now, after a little Google image search, I give you these:

pack your bags.

H...as in suite

I still miss y'all already! and I want to take y'all back to 2006. a time when we lived a few feet away from each other. a time when I would log Amy onto AIM and thoroughly annoy her. this is perhaps one of my favorite pictures ever. it shows Amy's frustration. it shows my ridiculousness and my fear of even committing to a piggy back ride.

so I'm starting a bloggy-blog of my own, but I want to publicly announce that I will stay committed to this blog. clearly I've given it a lot of action, since the last post is from Ashley...on January 31st. keep the faith though. and keep old photos alive.

APARTMENT TOUR TIME!

Well, you guys are blogging way too much for me. MJ is being demanding and asking for a video tour of the apartment...ok, maybe she only sent 1 text suggesting it. Anyways. Here it is.

I still have some work to do, but just thought I'd show you guys around. :)

Oh and Amy, I added this photo to my wall. Because I love it

Columbus has done something to upset God, because we get NO sunshine here. zero. I like my neighborhood. Lots of great local restaurants. Gallery hops on the first Saturday of every month....dog park about a mile away. It's a win for everyone.

kthxbye!

Baby, It's Cold Outside

So I just came in from chasing my wretch of a dog around the park, because she just LOVES to eat the effing snow and ice, fill up her baby dog bladder, and have to pee every 35 minutes for the rest of the night. If I could have tazed her, or had a fist fight with her like a real person, I probably would have. Ready for a thaw...too bad it's months away.

I'm a graduate. 15 months of hard work and it's all over. The shenanigans that started this blog are now over.

So, I'm officially moving to Columbus. Found my apartment. It's in a great neighborhood. I'm excited about my new job, Express seems like a great company. I'm excited about a new chapter in life, but (as always) sad to close this one. Its different than when I left Birmingham. I can't really put my finger on it. I think I really felt like it was time for me to leave there...but I really thought I'd be staying in Chicago for a while. So much for planning anything in life. I'm proven wrong much more often than I'm proven right in my plans or predictions.

So I now sit in Chicago...excited, scared, happy, and sad. Sounds totally normal and stable. Though, Wingo told me I make friends as easily as rotten fruit attracts flies...so I guess that's good :)

I think this is a long-winded way to say that big kid life is hard....

Maybe the grocery store in Columbus will have an "I live alone." section.

My friend Johnny shared this song with me...and I have a baby obsession with it.

A Meezy, out.

fooooooood

"where the hell are we going and what the hell is going to be open when we get there?" miss you's guys!

and since it's almost Thanksgiving...HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

I'm still here...already.

I know I've been blogging a lot, but please bear with me as I add another post to the blog. so, LA, huh? it's been pretty goode so far. I'm feeling settled, but it's still a bit of an adjustment as each day is different as a result of not having an actual job. I'm kinda liking that schedule, but I would like it more if random buckets of cash with my name on them were sitting around the apartment. we only have one bucket, and we keep items like scissors, pens, lighters, note pads, etc. in it. speaking of the apartment, I really like it a lot, and I like our little area of town. I'll give a video tour soon...as soon as I clean it up a little bit.

I've been doing some extra work, and it's been pretty fun. look for me in the background of NCIS LA, Extra and Friends with Benefits. I mean, you're gonna have to look...hard. the nerdy part of me enjoyed doing the Friends with Benefits one, because the lead female is Rachel from One Tree Hill. Amy, I hope/believe you'll remember her. so I'll probably keep doing the extra work and the catering work...and then keep hoping that that'll be enough money to live off of.

now please enjoy these photos of Santa Monica. I took a lovely stroll along the beach one afternoon. it really is a gorgeous area, however the day took a bit of a dive when I walked up to my car as an officer was giving me a parking ticket. a photo of Officer Ramirez is not included.

.

let's see, what else? I'm trying to work on some TV specs. I want to write a short and work with some people out here to actually get something made. I got to check out The Troubadour and see an Ingrid show! Allison, Ben, Alan and I spent halloween night with the crazies in West Hollywood. it was a fun, hot mess. I've gotten back into the coca-cola. I'm not having four or five cans a day, but I do have a fountain drink every couple of days. I saw Blue Valentine during the AFI Fest. it was really good--a touch intense and really well acted. and Ryan Gosling has yet to disappoint me on any level. I think I'm missing a "normal fall" a little bit, but the weather has been really great the past few days. my parents now have Skype. watch out, world. I want to get a fish. my favorite celebrity sighting so far has been Jodie Foster. there are two girls who live next door to us. one of them blasts chick rock-n-roll and the other busts out some techno-beats! I rock out to both in my apartment. I've gotten lost a lot, but I think that's going to help me out in the long run. I feel like I've been talking about myself a lot lately, so I will devote a whole post to, I don't know, some kind of history lesson soon. I miss you guys.

alright, here are a few more pics. I'll get better and more frequent with this fine blog. MUCH/ONE LOVE!!

one more thing...I'm fairly obsessed with this song:

Face the Facts

The glass on the iPhone 4 CAN, in fact, crack. Don't be shocked that I'm telling you this. Phone is still intact, but yes, cracked.

I hate pop quizzes.

Little kids in animal costumes make me melt.

I ate enough candy this Halloween to have a tummy ache for three days. Glenda would be upset with me.

I'm busy. I'm tired. I'm excited.

Miss you both. Will write a better blog soon!
