Dear Diary:
I can't believe it's the Fourth of July already! It's super weird to be celebrating it here in LA, away from Polly and Archie and Jughead. I can't remember the last time missed the Riverdale Summerfest. I guesa it must have been that one summer, when Archie broke his arm building a tree house with Jughead, and we stayed indoors all day reading comics and eating red-white-and-blue ice pops. Everyone's tonguea turned bright purple, and Juggie ate three ice pops for every one of Archie's and mine. But that was years ago.
I miss Riverdale, of course, and my friends. But LA is AMAZING. Aunt Gertrude's house may smell a little funny (whatever it is, I seriously think the odor's been absorbed into the walls. It's like a weird mix od garlic and old-lady soap), but she lives right on the edge of Runyon Canyon. So every day I get to hole Runyon Canyon before work. The view is insane. Its exhilarating. There's nothing like it in Riverdale.
The weather's amazing, the barista at Blackwood Coffe knows my order by now (pour over, milk, and two sugars)
. . . Oh, and one other thing . . .
Yeah, I miss Polly. But being away from Mom for the first time?
Um, it's not bad.
Obviously, I love her and I know she loves mez but she's so controlling. For once, I feel like I hace some independence. And it doesn't suck
I love working at Hello Giggles, too. Even if I have yet to win over my boss, aka the features editor, Rebecca Santos. I don't know if she thinks I'm some small-town hick or what, but she is just not impressed by me.
I know I'm the new girl, and I'm from out of town, and I'm probably the one on staff with the least experience, but so far, Rebecca just has me running errands, fetching coffe, coordinating meetings, mailing packages-girl friday kind of stuff.
I mean, I still totally love it. But the closesr I've come to actual writing labeling files. Rebecca makes me write the labels in pencil first, and then go over the pencil with Sharpie.
