After almost seven months of living in Los Angeles/Sarah’s
life quest for celebrity spotting, the fruits of my labor have been
minimal. Few people even know who
Lesley Jordan and that Emily girl from the Bachelor are, and yet, they have been the
only sightings I have been able to boast about. Needless to say, I had grown weary. I saw more famous, fabulous people in
New York in one month than I have here in over half a year. I must admit that on many occasions
driving through the neighborhoods of Beverly Hills, I have slowed almost to a
stop just to get a good look at the faces of runners that clearly live in the
area. No such luck…until Thursday night. Don’t get too excited, it
was only Minnie Driver. But it was
really cool to walk out the door of my office, and see her standing there
talking on the phone. Of course I
was wearing gym clothes that I’ve had since middle school. Almost immediately, she noticed me
noticing her and turned quickly to the corner of the building so she could
continue her call in peace. I’m
assuming the fact that I stopped dead in my tracks, mouth wide open, had
something to do with that.
Surprise, surprise.
I am moving again. I
believe this is the twelfth apartment I have had since I graduated
college. Moving has definitely
become an art form, and I have mastered a 48 hour turn around time from start
to finish. However, this time may
be a tad tricky. We actually have
to be out of this place by the 23rd, and I can’t move into my new
apartment until April 1. So I find
myself calling upon the good graces of the people of Los Angeles (aka Daniel’s
friends and family) to let me store my stuff and couch hop. Thankfully, I will be in Austin and
Charleston for some of that time, so I hope to not be too much of a
burden. I am finding myself very
ready to settle down…finally.
Moving around has been great, and I have enjoyed each place I’ve lived
for different reasons. But I think
it is time to gather all my things (that are hoarded in my parents and
grandparents’ attics) and make a home. I don’t know where that will be, but it is high time I lay
down some roots.
