the end of the world, etc.

let's talk about my recurring end-of-the-world dreams.
these are getting completely out of hand, the worst and most detailed one happened on the night of july 4th (DUH BECAUSE PRACTICALLY BOMBS WERE GOING OFF IN THE SKY WHILE I SLEPT)
sometimes the end of the world happens by war, sometimes aliens, sometimes meteors.
always i can hear it happening before it actually happens.
these have almost completely replaced my old recurring dreams about trying to put really large plastic saucer contact lenses in my eyes.
even though they are dreams, they are entirely plausible situations. i mean you do realize that we are basically just suspended in space. it would BARELY even matter to the universe if it was the end of the world. correct me if i'm wrong but i feel like the earth could just get knocked off its axis at any moment and gravity would no longer be in effect and we would all just float around and die. OR ANY DAY NOW betelgeuse could explode as a type II supernova.

i had an idea to start a chain letter about recurring dreams but i never followed through with it. similar to the way i never made a morrissey t-shirt and also never made videos of my animals doing regular things with sad songs playing in the background.

ANYWAY, in keeping with this blog's titular theme (lizzie in los angeles) yesterday after work, i drove to santa monica, walked around the pier/beach, and also went to third street promenade which is a lovely bustling street full of stores that are usually in malls and also restaurants. i'm under the impression that most people here go out to eat for almost every meal.
i'm sort of on a half-assed hunt to find the greatest breakfast place in LA. i love breakfast so much but i don't know how to cook anything except cereal and eggs.

so far i've already watched 5 movies in the month of july, and we are only 6 and a half days in~*~
about two years ago i was talking to my genius movie-fan friend paula and my genius movie-fan boyfriend dacoda and they were like, LIZZIE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ______? *GASP*
so i made it a point to start watching more movies.
YESTERDAY I SAW TREE OF LIFE
it was sooOOoooOO good (not sarcasm, although i do usually indicate sarcasm with "sooOOooOO")
it really was magnificent. i already want to see it again. if anyone wants to have a serious discussion about the themes of the circle of life/death/impact/what we leave behind/everything, i am readily available.
also the day before yesterday i saw the perfect host, which was also very excellent.

i suppose i'm starting to feel just a tiny bit homesick. earlier i was looking at pictures of people hanging out in shreveport and they were all sweaty and having fun and i felt sad because i wasn't there. probably these creepy men sitting behind me enjoyed looking at them also.
hah i always feel so awkward getting on facebook in public.
anyway my friend danielle's wedding is this weekend and i'm missing it~
also i'm worried that my cats won't remember me when i return, and i really just want to give my poodle a hug right now. i hope my mom hasn't given him any dumb haircuts.
there are more things i miss, obv. but i'm still trying to soak all of this in... living alone in a tremendous new place, making my own decisions, cleaning up after myself, being a responsible adult, etc. i'm certainly not taking it for granted, and i'm not ready for it to be over yet.

today i was thinking about just taking a really long walk until my feet hurt so bad that i can't take one more step without crying. also i have some black and white film to use up~*~*~*~~*~*~
