update

its been a really long time since i've posted but i dont really know what to say! all i have been doing since i've been living here is job hunting. and thats pretty much. of course ive been hanging out with friends and my roommates but thats about all. its been fun, but im getting frustrated with not having any money. ugh. so tomorrow i plan on going out to a ton of restaraunts and trying to get a job as a waitress or hostess. hopefully something will pull through. and in the meantime, i will continue my search for a nanny position and hope something comes along.

i thought it would be alot easier to find a nanny job so i just kept putting off getting something else. im just not used to this. i am usually handed jobs. im not being conceited or anything, ive just been really lucky with finding work and they always seem to just fall in my lap or come along easily. so this is new to me. and i really dont like it. and i really dont like rejection. i have interviewed with a ton of people, and have only recieved 2 "second" interviews and none of them have worked out. i either hear nothing, or they tell me they went with someone who had more experience. but i cant get more experience if no one will hire me!! ugh. its so frustrating.

but i love living in LA. i also hate it. haha. i wish i had more friends but i know i will at some point. i totally get why people hate LA. its ridiculous here. but i still love it too. it doesnt make sense to most people, but it does to me. anywho, i love living so close to lindsay and getting to hang out with her alot. i love being close to disneyland (even though i havent even been there yet). i love...so many things i cant even explain. i dont even know. i just love it!

ive also been thinking about going back to school. i know, weird huh? but ive been thinking of either becoming a teacher or a high school guidance counselor. random right. well, the teacher thing makes sense if you know me. i'd teach 3rd grade. or maybe 2nd. they were just such fun grades and ages and i would really love it. i was watching a show on dvd and one of the characters went to his guidance counselor and it kind of turned on a lightbulb for me. i used to want to be a therapist, but knew i could never do all those years in college (atleast not now). but then i saw this and thought i could prob do that. people tell me im a really good listener and i give great advice so i think i could do it. who knows. maybe when im older i'll be more motivated. we shall see!

i always seem to start these posts not knowing what im going to say and then end up rambling on and on. so yeah. thats all for now.

Celebrity Sightings

it's kind of funny, but after being here a little over a week, seeing celebrities is not a very big deal anymore. Okay, so i have not seen anyone huge yet, but still, it's just kind of like, whatever. Theyre just people like you and I. I know there are a few people i will probably freak out about if i ever see them, but so far, its no big. Anyways, I thought i would just post some. Most people probably dont even know these people, but i am an entertainment junkie, so i know alot. haha.

last saturday night, i hung out with my cousins and a bunch of their friends who all grew up in Portland together. And one of them was Michael Cassidy. He played a character named Zach on The OC. He was also in a movie called Zoom with Tim Allen (but i never saw it).



i went to a church on sunday, and as i was leaving, i just glanced over and saw this guy that looked super familiar. I could not for the life of me figure out what i had seen him in. Finally, about 15 hours later, it hit me. He was on the movie Bring It On as well as the movie Miracle (about the american hockey team).


(he's the one on the left in the yellow)

monday night i went to Korea town with a friend and had these amazing tea drinks. We were the only white people in the place until a white couple walked in and i immeadiately recognized the guy as "Chili" from the popular tv show, The O.C. (yeah, thats my 2nd OC sighting). He was also on a movie called Raise Your Voice.



so that's all....for now. i'll keep adding onto it when i see more.

Mary Poppins

this is one of my favorite movies. okay, i know what you are thinking..."jessica is a nanny, mary poppins is a nanny", ok so its true. but thats not the only reason i love this movie. its just amazing and i think you all know that. anyways, because i have not really been doing much lately (besides looking for a job, of course), i have been watching alot of movies. Today, its Mary Poppins. And i forgot how funny this one scene is. It's where Uncle Albert is laughing so much he floats on the ceiling and bert, jane and michael all join him and they tell jokes and honestly, some of these jokes are HILARIOUS.
