Breezy all at Sea

So we are headed to BC tomorrow for the long weekend. I’m excited to see my family (who we will be staying with), but am hoping that I don’t get harassed with questions like: why are you still single? why don’t you look harder for a job? etc, etc. I’ve dealt with it before and I’m not looking forward to having to feud with them to get them off my back. They somehow compare to my younger cousins. Who are 19 and 21. Yes, 10 year age gap between the youngest and myself. And she has a different boyfriend every month. And that’s ok I guess. But me, not sleeping with all sorts of boys, drinking myself into oblivion and smoking pot, makes me less of a person. I guess my law degree, my travels abroad, living alone and being an attorney in 2 states just don’t count because I’m almost 30 and still single.  I know I’m being a bit defensive but like a good athlete, I have to be in this case. Hopefully it won’t be too bad.

I went to the gym today. First time at the LA Fitness here. And it is sure obvious I’m not in LA anymore. For one thing, the gym had maybe 20 people in it. Compared to LA where the gym I frequented was ALWAYS packed. Never saw it with less than 100 people. And the classes are only offered early in the morning or after 6. Unlike the gym there where there were classes all day. I know that it’s obvious that LA gyms are always packed because people are supposedly more concerned with how they look. And since most people there are out of work actors, the classes can be all day. I guess I just don’t think that there’s anything wrong with wanting to look your best and working on that. Obviously there are some lines that are crossed down there and aren’t in the rest of the world, but you can’t really rag on a city where people are trying to be healthy and fit. And the gym here doesn’t have a smoothie bar. Lame! I miss my post-workout smoothie   But it was nice to be a quiet gym except for the music was blasted so loud I could hear it over my ipod. Not cool.

I’m off to meet my new advisor for JL tonight. Should be interesting!
