im going to move to nashville after i move to LA

hmmm where to begin- i've been in nashville for 2 weeks --its 40 degrees below zero windchill in minnesota right now which is why next week when i get back from nashville i am driving to california and living there- not forever, just for a while cuz i've always dreamed of it! perfect world i pay off my school loans, get sweet jobs, and buy a pt cruiser convertible and jam a burned cd i will call 'my long awaited cruiser mix' with all my favorite songs on it, while cruising down by the beach with the top down with lauren my friend from minnesota who lives out in LA already. not so perfect world i run out of money and live in a palm tree. i already have a room i rented lined up for when i get there - living with 3 other girls in an apartment- one girl rented out the living room which makes rent really affordable for us especially for cali! (its so spendy there) living rooms are over-rated anyway. since im not there for the month of january i rented out my room for the month to a boy named christian who is sleeping on a white couch in my room that i found on craigslist (the only piece of furniture i've had delivered to my room so far).

at my friend allie's house right now- this is how i met her -- i was on facebook one day (year ago?) and got a message from a girl named allie that was like ... " hi jason its allie i met you on a cruise lets be friends on facebook " i was like sorry this is lenay not jason you have the wrong facebook but ill be your friend anyway haha-- and then i realized that it really was jasons facebook because he forgot to sign out and i thought i was on mine but i was not and i was like woops and wrote her back and said woops and the next time i was in nashville my friend aaron was like hey im at starbucks with a girl allie who says she knows you from facebook -- so i went and met them at starbucks ha! year passes by, i call her and was like hey allie i like writing songs on the guitar do you like singing? she said yes. do you speak spanish? she said yes. ok if i drive to nashville wanna sing songs with me in spanish and make a cd? sure. so i drove to nashville but we decided to screw the spanish and just sing english--so i guess u could say we are starting a band and its actually turning out really good! i even brought my friend/photographer/myspace designer/sara with me from minnesota to help get things started-- we are recording 4 songs for a demo- we've been working with a producer all week and have been filming a lot of it- im leaving tomorrow but since we are not quite done with recording he has a studio in LA too so allie can keep finishing her parts in nashville here and then when he heads out to LA next i'll be out there by then and ill finish my parts there, its just a fun kinda side project ive wanted to do for a while- we'll see if anything ever comes out of it- but either way its just fun to say we did it!

giraffe update

oh and that large giraffe statue i got my parents i accidently left at the hotel when i flew out!! but i actually ended going back to canada a few weeks later so i grabbed it-- k giraffe update now its happy in my parents living room

jenny lives in a garage and we slept in it once

me, liz, and jenny, have matching little star tattoos on our left feet. (we all went to university of minnesota duluth) its just funny cuz when we used to have pancakes at jenny's in duluth we had drawn out our life dream of all living on the same culdasac when we grew up, and be neighbors, with a tunnel from each of our houses going underground and leading in the middle of the culdasac to a secret underground hang-out room that we wouldnt tell anybody about! our culdasac had a lot of stars decorating it, liz had a pool, jenny had horses, and i had four-wheelers, so we could all share each others toys. and a fountain in the middle of the culdasac with a reverse mirror bottom so we could see through it in our secret room below but nobody could see down! it was all drawn on a piece of notebook paper and we made copies for us 3-- jenny really wanted two weeping willows so i drew those in for her too, we called our neighborhood 'suenos' which means dreams in spanish, and we wanted to name our street that and get our own street sign!!

but now we all graduated-- jenny moved to be a math teacher/gymnastics couch to middle of no where minnesota, liz is moving to chicago today to pursue chemical engineering, i am moving somewhere far far away in a few weeks but dont feel like saying right now (still in the u.s.), the other week, liz and i decided to go visit jenny in the middle of nowhere so we drove 3 hours and met her at her house- which is actually someones attempt at building a garage but decided to fix it up into a house instead- cuz its a box haha, jenny lives in a very pretty box, its really nice though, with a kitchen and bathroom, bedrooms and stuff but the shape on the outside is so funny, its right on a lake, and we slept over, made pancakes, watched 3 movies (one being stardust and i swear i saw that falling star girl in the mn airport the other day haha i shoulda kept her and got special powers) then we decided to go frolic on the frozen lake with her little white dog-- it was sooo fun!! we were sliding around this random ice-house and some guys truck out there and me and liz kept jumping on the cracks as hard as we could
