I have been told I just need to find "my people," which is pretty hard to do at the moment since I'm unemployed and know no one. Ha. I've also been told everything social/job-related takes longer out here, which I don't know if true. I'd be happy to come out of this a little softer and less stressy—-somehow.

Yessssssssssssss! Omg I moved to LA less than 4 months ago and when I banter or am sarcastic, I am met with blank stares. I was flat-out told I was "negative." Who moves from Boston to LA after 30 to work in film if they're "negative?" Blind optimism is all I have going for me! Anyway, it's nuts, I feel totally lonely…

I'm still crying about this. I just found out about 30min ago, but 30min is a long time to be ugly-crying over an internet cat :( I wrote my friends to tell them to give their kitties scratches for me. :( Ugh I'm too emotional in general right now to handle these stories why did I click WHY DID I DO IT? :(

Welp, that's definitely some blood on those top stairs. :/

Oh God the original version this film kinda ruined my life as a little kid - afterwards I had to seriously contemplate whether I'd rather be decapitated or take the sign of the devil. I then became obsessed with decapitations and I still cannot deal with people touching my throat (not like that happens often). Anyway,…

She actually posted what reads like a sincere apology:

Oof, if this is a shtick, it's the same shtick I acted out with my friend after she accidentally told me about the Big Death in Six Feet Under...I feel for JLaw here. I'm not even completely spoiler-averse (see: Game of Thrones. Completely spoiled. Love it anyway.), but some shows just aren't the same once you Find…

My cat is totally cool with the bud! I've never intentionally gotten her high and I blow smoke away from her, but she hangs out next to me and I've always wondered if she's getting kinda high...in fact I'm smoking a bowl now as my cat is sleeping on my desk. I don't think this is typical cat behavior though. None of…

Oh look, an all-male film crew. Wow. So rare. Very surprise. Man strong lady weak. Much typical. Such stupid. Wow.

Oof, I was asking stuff like "So where is heaven located ***scientifically???***" And stuff like wanting to know the physical process for how the "soul" got to heaven and all this stuff. They hated me. I was so frustrated by it that I developed a panic-inducing fear of death and had to stop going to church. Then my…

Ohman, I love bad TV, and hot hot people, but I couldn't get through Tudors at all. It's so much worse than True Blood! True Blood has at least a couple legit seasons before going completely batshit, and even now it's a lot of fun. Rarely boring. Lots of hot people. I was also under the impression that Joe waxed his…

Yeah this is an odd story. He's making it like 99% better than most working actors in Hollywood, even.

I just moved to LA after working on the east coast (not enough work!) and job searching has been a nightmare. I shouldn't even read articles like this - I'm already so keenly aware of the sexism. The other day on set the DP actually bothered to be nice, and I was super-impressed. That shouldn't be super-impressive.

Damn, bras for men are cheaper than bras for me. You'd think custom sizing a dude would be harder than accommodating some DDDs...

Yar this is how I got my little lady. I had originally tried to "pull" another kitty from a kill shelter in NYC, but super-sadly she died of a virus after she left the shelter. I wanted to try again, but it was terrible because I'd just cry over all the cats that didn't get homes, etc. so I decided to adopt from a…

Yar I'm in the process of selling the last of whatever anyone will buy! Hopefully things will begin selling a little better now that some people theoretically have "Christmas money..." I need to make about $400 before the 3rd, bah!

I read about your tooth woes down-thread...I'm so sorry you have to deal with that crap. I'm lucky none of the dental work I've avoided has tuned into something truly life-altering like that. I hope you get on insurance ASAP - if the pharmacy hadn't accidentally filled a 3-month supply of my meds. when I moved to my…

Oh man, it's a bit odd because the assumptive responses you are getting to this post reminded me of the responses I was getting to a (REGRETFUL) comment I made last week, then I realized I recognized your name from that very thread. Anyway, I am broke so broke I'm depending on the overdrafts in my account to pay…

I wish you luck (and support!) for your surgery.

It would do me much good to not beat myself up about my emotions...your therapist has good words :) I can relate to the sibling stuff - my brother is five years younger and has been engaged for a few years. The wedding will be odd - I'm happy for them and excited for it, but the feelings of inadequacy and family…
