Oops, I have a blog!

I've been in Los Angeles now for about a week and a half, and my life is plugging along quiet according to plan - and for those who've followed my blog, you know there was no plan, so that's exactly what i'm dealing with: arriving in a place and having no specific plan.

So i'm homeless, jobless, hungry, tired, eyes constantly scanning for pennies on the sidewalk, avoiding the wealthy movie making elite's disapproving glances, and the like.

but in reality, LA is a blast, and i've been busy just trying to figure out what my new life is gonna be like. Like a caterpillar moving to a big brand new traffic-filled chrysalis, i know in a month i will metamorphosize into a big deal, hot shot celebrity of sorts, living in the hollywood hills, stepping on peons who scan the sidewalk for pennies. so it's just a matter of biding my time until good fortune seeks me out.

actually, i'm trying to seek it out myself. i've responded to more craigslist ads in the last week than i had in the previous 5 years combined. i auditioned for a band that is totally gonna make it, since their five songs are so awesome, they just need that missing lead guitarist piece. everyone here wants to 'make it.' no one wants to just have fun and do it for themselves, it's this quest of the highest and most famous. but it's rather exciting, because though many of them will not achieve the high level they want, they at least want it, and are willing to work for it.

i also have a photoshoot scheduled now for Friday so i can become a famous background actor aka extra. that's a sure path toward fame.

i also need a place to live, so i'm replying to ads on CL about that, too, and will see a place on Friday. so it's a matter of setting the little goals and picking up the phone (or clicking "compose mail") and setting the wheels spinning.

a fun though sorta anxious time to say the least.

and if it all crumbles down, i'll just check into a seedy motel and sell off my possessions to get some cheap whiskey.
