So today is three months since my birthday and I've been in LA almost five months so I thought it was a good time for an evaluation.
I lie!
Apparently there's a website where you can go to make friends. Not date, just make friends. You know, get new mates. It's not that I need to replace the ones I have, it's just that the majority of them live thousands of miles away. So when one of your bestest friends tells you about such a website you think yep, this is what it's come to! Time for an evaluation I think!
So you move to LA - bright lights, big city, sun always shining, career making, red carpet attending, life changing LA!
Hmmmm.
Well the sun is always shining I'll give you that much LA. And my life has definitely changed!
I sleep in a single bed in a room I'm scared to leave * that costs more than my two bedroom City Centre apartment did back home.
I spend hours each day on the bus trying not to inhale or make eye contact with anyone else on there.
I'm trying to get up the courage to do Internet dating ** but anyone who knows me well enough will know it's kind of my idea of hell but it's really hard to meet people here and at the moment the only people I meet are Uber drivers & homeless people. Oh and people who take the bus. Im not dating someone who takes the bus. (Yes I know, I know!)
In between acting jobs I'm walking a dog (and picking up the poo!) and being a nurse for a sick child. I'm actually very good at both of these things but those of you who know the dog ignoring, squeamish, fainting at the drop of a hat me are probably picking yourselves up off the floor right now.
Oh and I'm actually blogging about how good I am at picking up poo!
So this is LA folks and this apparently is 40!
