trying to stay positive
In the craziness that has been my life these past few months, I'm now trying really, REALLY hard to stay positive and to not let things get me down too much. It's been working thus far, then again I've actually had some fun "distractions" in the meantime, so we'll see.

Saw my friends play on Friday - I don't think I've seen that particular band in over a year, so that was nice.

Saw Duran Duran at Staples on Saturday - incredible seats...incredible show.

Monday I went to the Jimmy Kimmel taping to see Duran Duran. Met a cute little Aussie boy while we were in line. He ended up coming in with us because my friend Gilby had an extra ticket. Afterwards, his "mate" joined us and we all headed over to one of my favorite LA eateries - Bossa Nova. Then over to Roxy to see Metal Skool. You just can't go wrong with those guys. The Aussie's had a BLAST. I'm betting it will be their best time while visiting the States. We'll see.

Went out to dinner with "the boy" last night. Quite a nice time. Even though he is much, MUCH too young. It seems like forever since I've been on an actual date and it was nice. Then we headed over to some little dive bar and played (or attempted to play) darts and he dumped money into the jukebox and let me pick all of the songs - ALWAYS a plus with me.

He's off this morning to Vegas, so I probably won't see him for a month - unless I decide to make a quick trip to New York (which is where they're headed after Vegas). Doubt it, but sounds like a fun idea.

I also have Motley Crue to look forward to - although I'm going by myself - to Vegas. And, if I don't sell my extra ticket, I'll be out $150. :-( Oh well...what can ya do? I really felt the need to see The Crue.

Tonight should be fun...I'll be seeing some friends play - actually, two very different bands playing at two very different venues and I'm going to try to make both. Then I'm off to see my heart breaker for his b-day.

Let's see...what else. Oh - I got my phone back yesterday. Apparently it wasn't stolen by some pimple-faced 10 year-old from the Grove - just given to the wrong guest who was nice enough to call numbers in my phone until he got a hold of someone to give me his number. Then he was nice enough to overnight it to me.

I have no voice after all the screaming, which began on Friday, and people at work are making fun of me. Oh well - it's all for a good cause. Good, clean, Rock N' Roll fun. :-)

Oh and a note to add that I'm so grateful to have my best friend in my life. He never ceases to do sweet things for me and take care of me. And yesterday I came home to a squeaky clean car - which was such a nice surprise because due to the floodings in my 'hood (refer to earlier post about floods), my car has not been clean for more than a day since I bought. I've had it for just over two months now and every few days there's some sort of mud river flowing across one of the main roads by my house; therefore, the side of my car looks as if I participated in the Monster Truck Rally.
