i have to be an adult now?

job interview number one, went as follows...
i woke up, spiffified myself, and got to macy's roughly twenty minutes early because i was convinced the alleged "executive offices" would be up some hidden stairwell and i would be wandering around for hours trying to find it.  but, although the employee... er, excuse me, retail sales associate was a bit turned around and confused when i asked her where the executive offices were ("Executive?  We have those?"), she eventually found them and took several minutes explaining where she was pointing, even though i saw the sign before she did.
the office was tiny and old, and a man with a fantastic mustache asked me very cheerfully what i needed.  i could possibly be a lost or disgruntled customer who happened to accidentally bypass the bathrooms.  i sat around waiting for lisa and listened to other employees talk about the woes of retail existence.
when lisa arrived, she was a short woman with a handshake like a floppy fish.  i smiled and was friendly, but was secretly hoping she wouldn't kill me once we entered her windowless office.  she asked me a lot of questions--something tells me they do this at interviews--and seemed pleased with my customer service/retail experience. 
at the end of the interview, she informed me that they didn't have any openings.
...
if anything, it was a great experience?

also, this morning, i thought i had lost my NRA hat, had a small heart attack, and then sprinted downstairs, Polly at my heals, to answer the door.  it was a UPS man who had clearly been expecting me to be a ninety-year-old woman but instead got a 22-year-old-who-looks-like-she's-16 and didn't quite know what to do with himself.  i understood "Karen" and "sign," followed shortly by a "see you later."
maybe next time i should wear make-up.

Jamie out.

Southern California.  I Love You.
Every day is sunny and gorgeous.  My parents' house is amazing.  My dog is the best friend a girl could ask for.  And my neighbors are ludicrous.  From pools and athletes, to rottweilers and guns, just sitting in my room can be pretty entertaining.  The people who live behind us have an outdoor sound system.  We like to compete with one another to see who can play our music the loudest.  They win a lot.  I'm not too choked about it.
My computer has seen better days.  It is currently being held together with tape, and every few days it likes to give me the blue screen of death.  Other than that we're getting along pretty well.  I came home, opened it, and haven't closed the screen since.  The hinges might crumble into oblivion if i decided to try just one more time.

Other that what has happened in the past month or so (graduation, new boyfriend, and moving), not a lot has been going on.  I bought a new phone and got a new plan.  I'm applying for all sorts of different jobs and getting advice from fellow filmmakers on where I should set my sights at the moment.  And I'm patiently waiting for friends to visit me next month while my parents are in Israel (without me... boo)... and for Tasha to move here in July.

Stoked.

I don't think I will need alone time ever again after these next several weeks.
Ever.

Jamie out.

Take me

When the rivers run red
When my soul begins to bleed
When I can't see myself alone
And standing at your feet
I want you so bad
I need you so bad
I want you so bad
Lord take me now
When the forest is dead
When my heart begins to falter
To stop beating in my hands
It takes a thousand steps to know
I'm walking in your plan
You want me so bad
Cause I need you so bad
Oh you want me so bad
Lord take me now.

In The Sun by Joseph Arthur

I pictured you in the sun wondering what went wrong
And falling down on your knees asking for sympathy
And being caught in between all you wish for and all you seen
And trying to find anything you can feel that you can believe in

May God's love be with you
Always....
May God's love be with you

I know i would apologize if i could see your eyes
'Cause when you showed me myself, you know, i became someone else
But i was caught in between all you wish for and all you need
I pictured you fast asleep
A nightmare comes
You can't keep awake

May God's love be with you
Always...
May God's love be with you

'Cause if i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
If i find
If i find my own way
How much will i find
I'll find you
You...

I don't know anymore
What it's for
I'm not even sure
If there is anyone who is in the sun
Will you help me to understand
'Cause i been caught in between all I wish for and all I need
Maybe you're not even sure what it's for
Any more than me

May God's love be with you
Always...
May God's love be with you
