Hello loves!

I turned 35 two days ago and so far it's been very chill! We didn't do much to celebrate, since KC was just getting home from a two week/three city trip, and I am terrible at party planning for myself. We did get KBBQ yesterday though, so no real complaints from me.

At the beginning of this year I started working as a receptionist for the New York Film Academy in LA/Burbank and in May-ish KC and I moved from East LA to North Hollywood in the Valley. It's been quite a change, and our place is not yet completely unpacked (because I am slow at that sort of thing and doing it solo). But it does mean that I'm walking a lot more, since I can take the bus to and from work. It's about a 20 minute walk though, from one location, and 12 from another so I'm definitely getting a bit of a workout in! The great thing about the new place is that we're on the same floor as the pool and hot tub, it's really lovely. Plus lots of light, AC/heating, dishwasher, etc. I really like it compared to where we were before.

I'll be heading to San Diego Comic-Con later this month for the 50th anniversary celebrations (and to work, as per usual). If you're going to be in San Diego from July 15th - July 22nd, let me know!

There's a few other updates: stuff involving the wedding, mostly, but I'll leave that for another day.

This 1st half of my 34th year has been intense, let's see:

☞ I got engaged!
☞ I visited Los Angeles, California, and Cleveland, Ohio (plus some surrounding small towns like Streetsboro).
☞I moved to Los Angeles leaving my mom, our cat, and my work as an in-home care provider behind

And that's just all the new stuff since July.

I'm really bad at these update types of things. I really like Los Angeles; it's been difficult because finding work has been difficult (I've been without regular work since October) but I love my day-to-day life outside of the stress of not enough money to do much.

Here is my Spotify end of year playlist with some junk on it and a bunch of good stuff I got from KC included. There are also random songs I have 0 recollection of listening to at all, so that's fun! This playlist is actually what I listen to most often.

If you would like a holidaze card from me and KC and the rest of Entropy Farms, mosey on over here!

What is this, who am I, what are you doing here?

Sorry I like to start posts with questions. Anyway, I'm Era and you probably know me from somewhere but who knows where in particular (plurk, just admit it, it was plurk). I've always been rubbish at 'about me' and introduction section so I'll keep it to bullet points. 

First of all, the things everyone should know about me:

• queer woman of color
• still working on undergrad in late 20s/early 30s
• living in the SF Bay Area
• California native
• in-home care provider

I live with my ex for a roommate, no pets (he's honestly close enough). I smoke a lot. I don't drink much. I'm a Nirichen buddhist trying to save up for a gohonzon. 

I feel the need to point out that it's totally okay if this all sounds like drivel. It is, in it's way, and I'm fine with that. 

Things are happening. My shit, as they say, might be closer to coming together. Mind you I say this with every intention of applying for food stamps this incoming week, so your idea of me getting my shit together and my idea of the same thing may not mesh.

But I'm finally figuring out how to get what i need so I can work on what I want, you know?
