Employment

I'm really starting to hate that work. "Employment" It seems like everything in this world revolves around money, and how do you get that money? By being employed. Which I am not really at the moment. I have a weekend job of doing photography work but that only pays the bills, not the rent. I'm living in LA, the entertainment capital of the world and yet I still cant land a gig. Now dont get confused, I'm not an actress or singer. I work on behind the cameras. Mainly in set dressing but at this point I'm willing to be the water bitch for the director as long as I can land a freaking gig!
I moved out to LA a year ago for 2 things: To be with my boyfriend and to make a career in production design. Well I got one thing down, we have been living together for over a year and are still madly in love. Awwww
The other part is still in the works. I haven't given up hope for my dream even with doors shutting on me left and right. I still have hope that things will turn around. They always seem to do for me.

For example, I land the most random jobs. Seriously, completely random. Right now I'm getting paid to sit in an audience and clap for the Newlywed game. I've gotten paid for watching a movie. I've worked for the Super Bowl. I've worked as a photographer taking school portraits. I've been a green blogger. I even worked as a receptionist for a sign shop (which lasted about 2 weeks). I've done all sorts of interesting jobs in my life so far and I'm only 25! My boyfriend on the other hand, has a stable job, which I am eternally grateful for because at least when our cats are starving for their food, he can at least afford to pick them up some!

I suppose someday I would like some normalcy in my life when it comes to a career but right now I'm taking it as it comes and seeing where this all leads to.

Roommate madness

Okay, so in my previous post I told you that I live with two guys. One is my boyfriend and the other is his best friend. At first I didnt mind it, thinking it wouldnt be so bad having another roommate to split the bills and chores with. But as it turns out, this guy is still stuck in his frat/bachelor days! I know he's single, but seriously? What girl is going to want to come back to a room that you cant even see the floor its so covered in boxes still to be unpacked, laundry, and old news papers? And dont even get me started on his bathroom which happens to be the main one for guest. Let's just say we moved in around Nov/Dec time and he hasn't cleaned it once....

Okay, now swallow that upchuck and I'll tell you about some of the good things about having him around. He pretty much stays to himself. Which is great because my boyfriend and I can almost still live like its just the two of us, minus the walking around naked part. He pays his portion of everything, just have to get on his ass about dropping off the rent check. He likes to go out and most of the time he is the DD, so we can get as tanked as we want. And overall he's a pretty decent guy. Just not a clean one.

Baby, I'm glad you have gotten used to my OCD about being clean and actually help me in this aspect. Dont change.

More random adventures in LaLaLand

Wow, its been quite a long time since I've written in this blog. I'm sorry to those that are actually following this thing. I promise I'll make more of an effort to blog haha

I say that all the time and it never turns out. BUT yesterday my boyfriend told me that I should start blogging about my adventures in LA and my annoyances about living with two men. And oh man, do I have alot of complaints on that subject. My poor boyfriend has to hear most of them and he actually had the nerve the other day to suggest that we live with another one of his friends. All I had to say about that was if we do, I'm out. A girl can only take so much men messiness!

So, with all that said, I will now be blogging about the daily randomness that is my life. And seriously, my life has no repetition. I absolutely love it. I feel it makes life exciting and worth living!
