    Yup. We scared the young whipper-snappers away.

    I really do miss the rain and the clouds. I never thought I'd say that, but it's the truth. I've just had a lot of time to think over things in the past two months, and I'm wondering what exactly it is that I'm doing down here in LA. I want a family someday, but....can't imagine doing that down here. And I can't imagine my girlfriend's dad would be too impressed when he asked me "how will you provide for my daughter?" and I say "I'm waiting to make it big in Hollywood!'
  2. OOH! I had no idea you were 'one of those' (an aspiring actor, that is). The plot thickens. We have so many 'connections' (not in a creepy way at all). My cousin lived in LA for years, auditioning and such. He and his GF finally realized they were getting too old for that and moved to Portland. Now they're super happy.

    Not to say that you'll never make it big... just an alternate reality.
  3. And a side note: Do dad's really ask that, in this day and age. I don't think my dad would ever have dreamed of asking Mr.Z that, before he was Mr.Z. Of course now he yaps on and on, giving him career advice!

    Aspiring screenwriter, actually. I've lived here 2.5 years, and it's been a good experience, but I'm starting to really question what I want out of life, and if I want to rent an apartment for the rest of my life.

    I don't know if he'll really ask that, I mean....hopefully he'll know me well enough by then that he'll know what my plans are and how I'd provide for her. Maybe it's just tradition?

    ps - they are British, if that matters?

    LOL! I like it, the location, that is.

    Just came across this, a clip/leak/thingy


    I know what you mean about renting and raising a family and whatnot. I thought Tucson would be a good place for that (raising a family) but I'm not so sure. At least the house was cheap! When would you move, if you do? Or is this just a twinkling of a thought?

    Interesting little clip...I like the "Walk Out into the streets with your heart out" bit. Love hearing Edge screamin' out his little background vocals too.

    I'm not sure as far as a timeline. At this point, I'm just mulling things over. I did just sign a 6 month lease, which is a bit unfortunate, since my heart really isn't in LA at the moment.
  9. PM right back atcha.

    The 6 month lease might be a good thing, though. Keep you from jumping in to anything too fast, ya know? Where's your family again? Is your mom still staying with you?

    I'm so nosey. Feel free to tell me to piss off at any time!

    Nope, no problem!

    My mom and step-dad are here until Saturday, helping me get used to things here and get set up. I'm actually incredibly grateful for their help, especially my mom, since she's been here since the day after my injury. THey're from Minnesota, and my dad and step-mom live just south of Seattle. I do have a brother and sister-in-law in Portland still.....
  11. I totally wish I was closer to my family. Most of them live in the Bay Area and one of my brothers is in Brazil. Can't afford to move either of those places. *sigh*

    We are talking about transfering the Zooey tribe to the UK/Ireland in a few years though, which would pretty much rock!

    SWEEEEEET! What would you do there? Actually, since my GF is a citizen of the UK, we've talked about moving there too.....at least she could get health insurance there, since she can't here. Our country's health care system is F'ed.
