Which means…”Nice to meet you I am Seiji” Seiji is the Japanese name given to me by my new friend Tomomi ( Momo-san ) she says it means honest. We work together at Lawry’s ( didn’t I tell you I quit IDI and am now a host at Lawry’s? ) which is a lot of fun! I am completely out of my element which makes it challenging, but I am doing great despite a couple mistakes!

 I have made some great friends, Miharu, Ashley, Tomomi, Michelle, Jason, Mary, and Carolyne. Momo-san and Miharu have been helping me with my Japanese. Momo-san is especially impressed with how I pick it up so easily. The host staff at Lawry’s is cool! The bosses are cool and the food is great!

 I have been there almost 3 weeks now ( it seems longer ) my schedule is always varying so it keeps me on my toes and I work at night so my days are free to pursue my school and freelance work! I had to quit IDI, it just became to stressful for me and I hated it when I was no longer able to design the sites anymore. It just go to the point where I dreaded it so bad I just sent an “Effective, Immediate Resignation” and quickly pursued hosting at Lawry’s.

A lot has been going on, I am staying with my grandmother. It’s difficult trying to stay off each other’s toes and understand we won’t see eye to eye. My grandmother is coming to grips that I am grown and that I have say in the things I do such as driving to LA to get Miss Alma on her bus to Mexico so she could go back to Guatemala.

I mentioned the trip to my grandmother weeks before we went and she was strongly against and pulled out all the stops to keep me from going. When the time came, I went without telling her so she wouldn’t worry or get mad. The trip went find to and from, I made the trip in less than 3 hours. It was my first time ( Thanks mapquest ) but I like driving and traveling to different places which is one of my goals for 2008. I am young and I want to experience life before it’s too late.

Anywho, my grandmother soon found out I wasn’t where I said I would be so I came clean about LA. She of course, was upset. She claimed I was being inconsiderate and deceptive and she couldn’t trust me. It’s sad she doesn’t understand that I try to make the choices with the best of intentions and try not to hurt people. We have moved on though and things are fine.

Destiny disappeared for two days recently, it was heartbreaking and nerve wracking! I was very upset to see that she was gone. But when I came home one night she was returned. We don’t where she was at but she was more than happy, like I was, to be home.

I sent Will a myspace recently because he had his damn baby pic as his main pic. He had made a spectacle of himself a couple years back at T-Mobile to get me to look at his picture because I usually ignored him during meetings or when he was on the floor ( we were/are messing around ) so he was determined to get my attention much to the surprise of our co-workers who were aware he had a boyfriend and was acting weird around me. Anywho, yeah he responded and wants to hook up. Part of me wants to because I like him, part of me wants more. He posted pictures of his Cayman Island vacation with his BF. I was a little jealous, I wanna do stuff like that. *rolls eyes* Anyway so I guess he’s setting something up, I dunno. Who knows maybe it won’t happen.

 Mary quit Lawry’s we believe. She was complaining about one of our servers harassing her and she didn’t like seating our guests ( she preferred reservations ). The server she was complaining about was having a discussion with managment and I tried to get the dish if it was about Mary. Mary had called sick and had not shown up for work and did not call. So we don’t know if she quit and why she isn’t showing up. When Carolyne found out about Mary’s discomfort she told the Managers who proceeded to interrogate us as to what Mary’s experience was and if that was why she wasn’t showing up. It’s still a mystery. We’ll find out the rest today as well as last night’s faux paus. Apparently last night one of our hosts told valet to determine if guests had a reservation because if they didn’t they wouldn’t be able to dine with us ( Big no no ) Our manager found out and she was livid to find out that has been going on so we are in suspense as to what happens next!

TTYL =P

Whenever you rent a hotel room for a secret rendevous…remember to put both of your names on the hotel slip! This ensures that you have access to your room after your partner has left for the evening. So if you just happen to lock your stuff in the room you won’t have to deal with the ignorant asshole of a hotel attendant!

It has been a while since I last blogged. I am glad I am finally getting back into it! So much going on here. Joined a gym, stopped eating beef and pork, getting ready to move into my first bonafide place! I came a long way and I’m going strong.

Haven’t been doing much of nothin lately. Work, work, work is all I do. I love my job. I design day in and day out! Dad & Anji gave me their Hyundai Santa Fe after my car engine blew in my Eclipse! Thank GOD or I would have been up shit’s creek. They also gave me the 160 GB IPOD!!!! XD…EXCITED! I gets to listen to my music again! 13000+ songs and still growing!

 My laptop had to be turned in to get fixed because the screen was messing up. Irritating. $300+ dollar fix..but I do plan to upgrade the memory and possibly upgrade to Vista. Who knows? I am talking to my cousin Jennifer! I miss her so much! We haven’t talked in ages. I am hoping to talk to all of my family more often!

 I am overflowing with creativity with storylines and poetry. I tend to keep my poems inside because they’re very personal and I tend not to put them on paper for that reason. They express the emotions I am feeling at the time and sometimes reading them over tends to open old wounds. I am going to try to blog them though because I don’t want to forget them.

Everything lately, for me, is day by day for me. I am up and strong but by the end of day it gets tiring and I tend to get down.

I am glad I have Destiny, my Siamese cat. She makes being on my own a little bit easier. I am also going to blog my dreams…because some of them are just cool!

It’s weird the things that go through my head I am thinking of old friends, memories, and stuff like that…it makes me smile at how funny something was or how fast time has gone by. Geez it does seem like yesterday when I was a kid.

 I am writing a story with V and some other people, it’s called “Forgotten Oaths” we are trying to finish writing it like we did a few years back. We are trying to find the best medium so we can collaborate.

IMVU is this fun new program V got me into. I am trying to develop some items on their too. It’s pretty cool.

I have been watching some cool movies like Moulin Rouge! Which I love! My favorite songs are…Hindi Sad Diamonds….Sparkling Diamonds…The Pitch….Come What May…The movie is awesome! It’s weird how some things aren’t appealing to you but they become appealing later on. I WANT THE SOUNDTRACKS!

I bought the 2 cd sets of the night club Tao, here in Vegas. I am loving that music! Toni Braxton will be here through August so I am most definantly gonna catch her show soon.

Right now I am worried about these “tickets” Ugh suspeneded registration on the Eclipse and the Santa Fe with a Speeding Ticket. Grrrr luckily if I pay them off I won’t have anymore!

But money is tight lately. I didn’t budget correctly and I’m paying for it. Cell phone and insurance are due. So yeah not cool. I am hoping and praying everything works out.

I wish I was still friends with Brent sometimes. I guess I just don’t understnad how our friendship ended. I am getting better at not letting those kind of things get at me.

Will text me last night….why I don’t know..I guess he gets a kick out of watching me squirm when he talks to me. The bastard =P LOL. It doesn’t bother me as much as it did before because I know when to stop and not let it get to me.

Anyways what else…..Oh….I saw Awake and Beowulf…Awesome movies….Awake was better than I expected. Unfortunately I did see my roomate nekkid…So not cool….You know it’s time to move when that happens.

I am keeping my laptop at my grandmother’s til I move which is soon hopefully….I don’t wanna deal will having to fix it again because they didn’t offer to pay a dime considering they used it as much as I did. Eric was like “get a better one” and Ren was like “keep 30 for the ink we used” WTF? Anyways I don’t care.

 Why Did I Get Married was a good movie! Go Janet! I want her new album.

I finally washed the SUV…and got that damn orange stick off my windshield. Grrr it took me a minute to get it off but I took care of it. I took Sapphire with me on my errands…the poor dog is always locked up in the Laundry room or getting the shit beat out of her…I felt she need a break..She’s a great traveling companion unlike the damn cat who is scared of going outside. She doesn’t even like wet food. I forced her to eat tuna…she spit it out and ran away Lol. But she loves playing with straws, paper, boxes, and Rolo’s wrappers (Thanks Ashley).

I dunno I think that’s it for now…TTYL.
