Letter 4 - Your sibling or closest relative

(i'm going to write this to my cousin going to UCSD)

Dear Cousin,
I know you think it's going to be boring going to UCSD instead of UCSB, but college life is what you make out of it. Just be open minded and you'll have a blast. College is going to be some of the best years in your life, trust me. You shouldn't be worried about college life, it's going to be fantastic, just look for what you're interested in and immerse yourself in it. You'll love it.
Love, Jeany

Letter 3- Your Parents

(This letter is super rant-y)

Dear Mom,

I think it's really great you're letting me live in the house rent free. I just wish i could get a job so that you can stop hounding me to get one and preventing me from having fun. The job market is very brutal, most of these jobs i'm over or under qualified. The economy sucks, sorry i couldn't find a job in the few last days i've been looking for one. I want a job too and the money it comes with.

Also stop feeding me so much, you say that i'm getting fat but you're pushing all this food towards me. I already ate, i don't need to eat 10 times a day!

Another thing, i still don't know what i'm going to do with my life, stop pressuring me! I'm having a quarter-life crisis, i don't know what's going to happen so stop asking! Maybe i'll find something i really love to do, maybe i won't, the future is not so clear for me.

Love, Jeany

June 24: This day i was in a slump, so here's picture from today. It's Princess Cake, something very delicious from IKEA. Mmmm...


June 25: This should be the official spokespanda for IKEA. He's had a long day at work hahaha!


So the past few days i did not leave my house because i have to find a job before i go out spending money and being happy. Today i went out to go find some clothes for my costumes for comic con. I was going to go alone but I asked helen to go with me because she was online. We went to two thrift stores, there were tons of things to see/buy. It was really fun looking at junk but a little bit smelly. After we went to IKEA because we wanted ice cream and lingonberry tea. We ended up in the IKEA restaurant and i bought a big plate of swedish meat balls and Princess cake, as seen above. Helen got some salmon. The food was all really good but it was a LOT of food, we underestimated it's filling-ness. We were really full so we walked around IKEA and found a depressing looking panda. Then we spent the rest of the time putting the panda in weird situations and saying lolcaptions, his look was priceless. I got what i needed for my Alice costume but i still need a yellow raincoat and pink sunglasses for my Jubilee costume. I'm super excited for SDCC!

Letter 2- Your Crush

(Sighhh, if you know me, you probably know i'm still hung up about my crush)
(my tenses are all fucked up, hahaha!)
(this is really long letter, there's no TL;DR summary at the bottom)
( wow i spent like an hour on this)

Dear Crush,

Usually when i fall for a guy then get to know him, i quickly lose interest, but with you, i don't know. I've never really met a guy like you, someone who is so sure about himself ,thinks very logically and lives in the now. You've claimed you have no emotions but i know you better than that. You make this claim but i can see that you're just using that as a shield or barrier against other people. You're the first person i've met that did not open up to me within a reasonable amount of time. You are a tease because you'd only give me glimpses of your true no-holds self, but i was chipping at the surface, i was getting through to you. It's just that i only had one quarter with you, such a short time but i really got to know you. You got to know me, but i have no idea how much of my personality you absorbed or if it just went through one ear and out the other.

The reason i did not confess my "love" for you was because i knew that it would never be reciprocated as sad as that seems. I actually liked you for you, not someone you could have been or someone made up in my mind. I didn't tell you i had a big crush on you, but you knew. I know you were only looking for someone that you physically liked, you never really looked for a girl with personality. Heck i don't even think you were looking for relationship. You only saw me as one of the guys. You never lead me on, i think i only lead myself on. You were a great friend. Most of all, you weren't dense, you could see the nuances (geez i was way more dense than you, hahhaha).

I really like that you talked about yourself, sometimes when i talk to people i talk about myself in order to keep the conversation going. But you saw that i was always willing to listen. You genuinely wanted to make me a stronger person by telling me not to just take crap from my mom and telling me to just use logic more (and not my emotions). You were a great person to talk to (except when your roommates interrupted). I miss talking to you because you thought so logically, you helped make everything clearer.

I liked that you were so passionate about your hobbies. You even let me sit in on your private piano sessions, i think that's what i enjoyed the most. I would just sit there and listened while you played to your hearts content.

The reason i'm so hung up on you (i think) is because i know you're not the type to just keep in contact via internet/facebook or phone calls and i know i'm not going to see you (probably ever). I hung out with you practically everyday and I never weaned myself off of you, i just quit cold turkey the night i left for home. I guess there was no proper closure of our friendship. I've tried talking to you on facebook but you don't really respond, that's really strange but it helps me get over you (maybe that's what you're doing :/).

I have to move on, I could think to myself, maybe one day he'll realize what he's missing (a girl who accepts him for him and his flaws). I know that's going to be a long time from now and i don't want to wait for something that might never happen.

I've thought to myself, maybe i can get over you by distracting myself with other guys. No, i don't want to be my boy crazy self. I think that i should not worry about dating or anything. You've made me not boy-crazy, that's just preposterous.

You were my first REAL college crush. I just need to let you go.

Love, Jeany
P.S. I don't think i'll forget about the time i kissed your cheek (before i got to know you), the only thing i thought right after was "prickly" and i think i'll always smile when i think about it.

Letter 1 - Your Best Friend

(I don't have one best friend so this is a letter to them all)

Dear Besties,
You girls have been there for me since high school. I know our bigger friend group broke up right after high school, that is expected, but I am so glad that we stuck together. You guys have been my rock while I was away in Santa Barbara. I always knew that I'd come home to open arms and warm hearts. If anything got too hectic I could always come home and just talk to you guys about my problems, these talks and hangouts were very important to me. You each are amazing in different ways, but differences are what make you, you. (man this sounds cheesey). I know it's hard for me to express my gratefulness through words or actions, but I think you guys already know. Thanks for being there for me.
Love, Jeany

June 18: Randomly encountered this in Burbank.

Today Cynthia and i went to submit our paperwork to become extras in television and movies. We didn't think there were going to be that many people because the hours were only from 10:30-11:30am. Really strange. So we went and we were about 10mins late, we walked into the office building and it was pretty much jam packed. I was really surprised. All we did was wait in line, submit our paperwork, and get our picture taken. Simple as that.

Now all i can think of is if i can get any jobs as an extra. It's a call in service so you call in and hear the jobs available. Too bad i don't fit the parts they had today. If only i was in my late 20's, i could have been an extra on Entourage (not that i even watch that show).

I hope i can get a job like once every two weeks or more because it's not too demanding of a time schedule and working a day gives me about $100. Sounds like a good deal to me. I wonder what is in production now.

My goal for being an extra is to work in a show i like or a movie with a celebrity i know or get one SAG voucher. I hope i get a job. Eeee! So excited even though i haven't booked anything yet.

Fine i'll blog

I'm going to blog because i have nothing really else to do and i should have kept blogging during the school year. I don't really blog because i know i'm going to look back and say, "geez i was boycrazy" or "dang, i'm boring". I'll give it another shot.

So life as a graduate so far, don't know what to make of it yet. The first 2 days I did not have internet, i realized how dependent i am on internet. I felt really disconnected from the world. It was depressing. Luckily the internet picked back up, phewww! Over the last two days i missed out on vuvuzela craze and the disapproving Beckham memes.

First day after going home i went to the beach, it was nice. I freaked people out and showed them sand crabs. Helen got stung by a bee at the beach by stepping on it, that was really strange. I met up with some high school people that i haven't seen in a long time, it was like we were back in high school again. With my best friends i always feel like i'm back in high school.

Today i basically tried to clean and organize the house. It's a big task to take on. I worked really hard just cleaning all day. Being at home has been nice...so far.
