The weekend is upon us. It's about freaking time.
The Price Is Right came back from its one week hiatus (and my 12 day hiatus), and I was so glad to come back. It's nice to earn some money, but it's also nice to do something you love. This week was a bit different because since we had monday off, our taping days were Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. For me, this was a bit weird only because I like having all of my days off at the same time, i.e. four day weekend (Thursday thru Sunday) instead of three day (Friday thru Sunday). More on Price in a bit.
Did you know that eHarmony, that online dating site, has absolutely ridiculous prices for being a premium member? They charge a crap load for one month of service. If I were that serious about finding love online, and if I had that kind of disposable income to use on such a service, I'd totally do it. A few of my friends have fund people on that site; one of those couples is even happily married. I've always wanted to try it, so I made an account recently. However, after seeing how much a subscription cost, I decided to hold off on it till I sat down and thought about wether it is something I would really want to invest time and money into.
You can't really tell by looking at me, but I feel pretty alone here in L.A. I know that I'm flanked by a whole bunch of good people and great friends, but I have this small, yet nagging, feeling inside for some company. It really becomes apparent when I come home to my room and I see the other roommates with their boyfriends or girlfriends hanging out. Sure, I'm used to it. That doesn't mean that I'm comfortable with it. I know that they are not rubbing it in my face, but sometimes it's a bit overwhelming, and I just need to get away. Usually, the only place I can go to is in my room. Lately, I've been trying to find other places to go. Without a car, it become a bit more challenging.
Going back to Price, after our last taping of the week, a few of us went to a bar to unwind and grab some drinks. This was the first time I had joined them, but it certainly won't be the last. Like I had mentioned in previous posts, hanging out with coworkers outside of work is a lot of fun for me.
I've been told by numerous people that I've been doing a great job on the set and that I'm a very talented and genuine person to be around. That means a lot to me because I work hard on the set with the hopes that people like me. I worry about people liking me more than I let on. And I appreciate that my hard work is getting noticed and getting me somewhere.
I am one of a few black people who are on the Price crew. It's just a thought I had and I wanted to write it down.
It's been raining quite a bit here in Los Angeles. I enjoy it. Most people do not. I wonder how much more rain we will be getting.
I don't have more to say at this point, and it's pretty late. So that's it for now. You can see yourself out.
Peace Out.
