Alrightyyy....So What Do I Do Now?

Well Ladies and Gents,

So as you may or may not have heard, the Big Day came and went. No, not my wedding day, that's a ways off seeing as I've never had a real boyfriend, or really even seriously dated someone for that matter-but more on that later I'm sure. Hey, I've got plenty o' time. I'm talking about my college graduation from the University of Banana Slugs.


They gave me a blank scroll signifying my diploma that marks my Film and Digital Media degree. You may be asking yourself what is Digital Media? Well, after four years of taking critical studies' courses in said department I am wondering the same thing. The department only requires you to take one class in this area, and I got a grade that really isn't worth mentioning cause it was boring as all hell..although it did get me onto friendster--but where is friendster today my friends? Exactly.

On the other hand I have watched a lot of movies. So if you have any movie trivia, I am your girl. I pretty much rule at Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, so don't even think about challenging me to that game. I have been forced to watch foreign films (ie, Godard and Pasolini to name a few) for my degree. Not that Bacon has made that crossover, but bygones.

The point is I have now proudly taken my blank scroll and returned to live in Los Angeles with my parents- I know, I'm a rare breed!- for the summer. I've done L.A., I want to do San Fran or maaaybe even N.Y. So the idea is to spend hours and hours on craigslist, post my resume on monsters, inc. and find myself a nice little job, and get myself an apartment. Shouldn't be too hard, yea?

OK, so throughout my life I've wanted to just about every occupation there ever was, from teacher to lawyer to astronaut to Broadway star to veterinarian. About the only thing I haven't considered is porn star, and maybe that's just because I haven't been somewhere at the right time and place. So really the possibilities are endless. In the meantime, I will have to find ways to fill my time. A La my tripping counterpart, or rather one of my inspirations, I should consider extracurricular activities. I'm thinking I'll take walks, maybe even eventually work up into a run (I was a cross-country runner not so many years ago), I'll maybe finally teach myself to cook, and catch up on some reading. Oh, and of course watch movies. But I am incredibly welcome to suggestions. While you think of suggestions, you can enjoy this picture of me fooling around on my mom's new Mac....thinking hard about what I'm gonna do next.
