Being a working actor is not something that happens overnight. In fact, for most aspiring actors, it's a struggle to even make it happen at all. DUN DUN DUUUUUN.
Yesterday I got to be a working actor. It was an extra role in a television show for NBC and it was fantastic. It was everything I'd ever wanted to do-- except it was negative 14 degrees the whole time. But I didn't care. I was just happy to be there.
Ever since I was a weird little child in a weird little world of my own, all I've ever wanted to do was be an actor. Pretending to be somebody or something else was the only skill I had -- and is probably the only skill I still have. I was never academically minded and I can't stand working in a damn robot office all day. It's the only thing I feel I know how to do and how to do well. It's the only thing I enjoy doing.
That being said, my decision to move to Los Angeles is final. My goal is to work part time remotely for a company that is yet to be determined (PLEASE COME FIND ME!) and work as an extra as often as I can. Then I will take that money and experience to Los Angeles when my lease is up, where the job market is way more competitive, but is also more bountiful.
I may be called to work on a few more episodes of the show and with that, I have something to add to a resume.
Stanislavsky THIS, bitches.

Ventura Highway...
It's looking like LA is winning the race, y'all.
This winter in Chicago is pure and total treachery. I hate it. I also just took a wild guess at how to spell "treachery" and I got it right first try. I guess you could say things are looking up.
My mom's on a rampage. She's living with my grandmother until the spring, when she will move somewhere out west. They don't get along, to say the least. What's more, it's now super uncomfortable for me to go and visit them. So.. that's fun.
Also it's snowing again today, which is just the fuckin' tits. I've always liked snow and cold and winter in general. I never wanted to live in a one-climate place because I loved seasons.
Fuck seasons.
I'm thinking Los Angeles. Beaches. Sunny skies. Constantly. Yep. It's lookin' like LA.
Also, if you missed it my cheap, easy, idiotic makeup tutorial is up..

A Series of Incomplete Thoughts
Ohhhhh man. I thought I'd take today to just talk at your faces.. it took me three hours to bring 40 minutes of talking down to less than 10 minutes of talking. Trust me, it was just as incoherent at 40 minutes.
Enjoy?
Enjoy?

Los Angeles vs. New York City
At the very beginning of the year I made the sound decision to move back to where my heart is, NYC.
However, I'm reaching a juncture where I'm trying very hard to make a career happen for myself. One that doesn't involve meth or stripper poles. Just kidding. One of those is totally out of the question.
I also need a change. A big change. Where I know no one and have opportunities falling out of the sky, even if it's a fucking rat race to touch those opportunities with my pinky finger.
So, I'm seriously considering Los Angeles instead. I'm weighing them both and look at jobs in both and will make a decision as the time nears.
Come June, I'm just going to have to pick a coast and go with it. I've lived in both states before, but I've not been to Los Angeles since I was a little girl. My memories are bleak. But I've heard more lovely things about it than terrible things. New York is always lovely. I miss it terribly everyday. Anything's better and safer than Chicago. Just sayin'.
So that's my current dilemma.
What do you think?
I don't give a shit.
Mmmbye.
