waking up an hour earlier was a bit difficult for me, i slept heavy through the alarms and wanted to skip work and sleep. i want to almost every morning, there is something so entertaining about just sleeping for me. my dreams were strange, i remember only a certain little detail, i wish i had more of the dream because it was very insightful. i remember someone explaining my beauty to me, about how everyone forever will be able to relate to my appearance, that it reminds them of the "dead". that i am not a typical type of beautiful, but i am a familiar appearance to people. i get ready quickly and love my outfit for the day. leather leggings and glatior sandals.. the coat hangers band tee and the teal and orange animal print vest/shirt that i got will in san francisisco.
the bike ride was nice, it was good to see the sun out and it made me able to bike quickly. a guy in a white jeep slowed down to compliment my hat and tell me how cute i was. it is always very flattering, but didn't do much good because i smiled and said thanks, but i would never see him again. i noticed an estate sale that was happening, i wanted to stop and purchase these lion lamps… but i had no extra time or space. i got to work on time … the meetings always start late anyway. it was mainly about marketing, which is good, but i just get bored with all these meetings. they are necessary… the day turns out to be busy for everyone at the salon which is great, frustrating because i was not busy. but i did manage to get one request… haircut. faith, a girl that i met a few weeks back after she got a major short cut that she wasn't too crazy about. i spent the day reading and socializing with other stylist clients, filling my time up.. trying to get the day to pass. my very last appointment rescheduled… letting me be able to leave a bit earlier for the event that i wanted to attend. i wrote a blog post right before i left… i saw london's clients shirt.. a joy divion tee, that reminded me of sterling. he loves that band and would often wear that tee. i quickly biked home in the most sunlight, it was only six pm. i called sarah and planned our evening a bit. changed my shoes to combat boots (for walking) and she met me outside. she was also wearing a joy division band tee… huh. i was so happy to see her, she just moved here from new jersey a few months ago. a very relatable character. I'm was glad that london introduced us. we started our walk and the conversation went well, she is good at making it continue. as we were walking towards alamitios, we passed the client of london's from earlier.. who had the joy division shirt on. i got really light headed and a bit emotional for just a second. as it was weird that i would run into her in this huge city. we stopped for a second so i could catch my breath. sarah was a little confused at my reaction to something she didn't even understand.
we were in downtown and i needed some tea, we stopped in at its a grind, where she works now… mint tea. we continued walking to 7th street, which seems far but really is not that far at all. I'm glad that we walked it together so now i know where we can walk while lindsey is here. also i need to get out more and socialize, walking seems to be a good way to get around. we arrived at the art show, i spanded through three buildings. the exhibits were interesting. i was so intrigued by the "bee" room. a guy had made plastic bees that were placed in old victorian frames, they looked 3d and his flowers growing out of bricks were stunning. i wanted one, as i joked that that was the only way i could have a garden. i was introduced to sharon, the lead singer of slush box, she was a bizarre creature but i did enjoy her hair. she reminded me of laura and we hit it off well. come to find out she is a music intrustor and probably knows a lot of people in the industry. i also met michelle, she was a beautiful petite thing who mistakes me and sarah for teenagers… like seventeen. she was surprised at our actual stories. then she commented on sarah's shirt… "that is my boyfriends favorite band". we spend time looking aournd. the japapnsse style watercolors paintings made me feel untalented and very lazy. the cats were funny to see as all the history heroes of ancient japan. i just have a lot to work on i suppose.. the amount of time and detail for these pieces of artwork is amazing. a band started to play.. two asian girls as the lead. the band was nice, but the music drug on… i wasn't really feeling it. so we headed back over to see slush box. that music was more "our style" and i had a seat to listen and pay attenion. the green lights covered the floor and made the room glow. she had a great voice and they were jammy, i wanted more interest lyric wise.. but it was a good set. then we left and headed to a record store/coffee shop that i never realized existed. i was very stoked to discover this. we spent some time browsing around and i found some records that i really want, but "one step at a time" i need a record player. sarah said "look, and showed me the record of joy division".. i had to tell her the details of this, explained i named my blog post that.. and wondered why it was written all over my day. i ended up purchasing a book called sex in the cinema. i do have interest in reading the book… too bad i'll probably never be able to finsih it. it was getting late and we walked back to the ocean side. our conversation continued on, she is really a lovely character. i enjoy talking to her and i think we will become pretty good friends. she walked me home and her last comment "i think we will be good together". i think so too. i ran across the street to the apartment and made some late dinner. spent some time catching up with ian… then to my room. i was sleepy and didn't feel like painting, even though i have some good ones in my head. i have a lot of work to do. i need to focus more on the "light"… but i fell asleep early, after a few late night text from james. i keep sleeping with all the lights on.
