My Wizard

It was about 3:30am.  I had just gotten back to the hostel after a night of drinking at Saddle Ranch to find someone sleeping in my bed and all my stuff gone.  I was hysterical and in tears.  It was my first night EVER in a hostel and I was just not having it.  I was arguing with the guy at the front desk but he wasn't helping, he just wanted to move me to another hostel. Then you walked in, black pants and your red button-up shirt, for some reason I felt so relieved seeing another person walk in, it's like I knew at that moment everything would be okay.
You asked if I was alright and I said not really.  I told you the situation.  You looked at me and then at the guy at the front desk and said "give her a blanket and a pillow and we will work this out in the morning." He tried arguing with you but you said it again and he gave up and handed me a blanket and pillow. "You can stay with me tonight so no worries. This is all part of traveling, so don't stress, we will work it out in the morning."
I felt a little akward lying in your bed,  you were in nothing but boxers and kept talking about how you had been doing the shuffle all night.  "What is this Australian guy talking about?" I kept thinking LOL.  We lay there for a bit when I said "I can't sleep."  "I have a bottle of rum.  We can go downstairs for some drinks if you want" was your reply.
So we headed downstairs for some late night drinks.  We talked quite a bit, in fact I don't think we ran out of stuff to talk about.  We laughed and flirted and then crawled back into your bed and finally went to sleep.
I slept in your bed every night after that.  We talked about anything and everything.  You told me about your travels and the adventures you had.  I told you why I had come out to LA. We watched movies, listened to music, we talked about family, careers, relationships,  there were no boundaries to what we talked about.  We would stay up till the sun came up every morning or until one of us (usually me) would fall asleep mid story or movie.
At the end of that first month you asked me to move in with you. Steve had a room and we could move in with in two days and you wanted me to go with you.  I didn't even have to think about it.  I said yes with no hesitation.  I was so scared to move in with you.  I had never lived with a guy before,  I was really nervous.  We didn't even have time to talk about because you worked the next two days.  The night we moved in I told you I was nervous, that I had never done this before.  You said neither had you but we were in this together and just wrapped your arms around me.
I spent the best five months of my life with you - late night talks, Jenny's drink, teaching you how to cook,  NetFlix, True Blood (we never got to finish it), beef jerky and raspberry snapple every night in bed,  our little cocoon, stealing the blankets (it was all you), the light fairy, the Melbourne Shuffle, teaching me the Melbourne Shuffle, the many many nights in the party room, "doing laundry", almost getting kicked out for "doing laundry", MoMo, Lady GaGa, Anzac day, Yo Momma jokes with D, hustling to get a private room, "the other couple", tickets, stealing tickets (you better win me something good), Kino (our favourite restaurant), quitting smoking, thinking you can drink me under the table (my mom is waiting for the challenge), our late night drinking sessions in our room at the apartment,  seeing the sun come up almost every morning, snuggling,  late nights (the favourite part of my day), naps,  "Emmie what do you do in the morning?" how are you up so early, calling me a cradle snatcher, having completely different taste in clothing, CUNT lol, our little family - Justo, Dallas, you and me, "I am Vampire," Metro trivia which I am still planning on beating you at, always moving on Ryan time lol its so true, never being able to get anywhere at a good time, Minute to Win It, Judge Judy, getting kicked off of Judge Joe Brown, Kesha - do you ever wonder if P. Diddy wakes up feeling like Kesha?, Steve's obsession with Alice in Chains,  The Rooster song,  kill Justo's rooster, never wanting to eat chicken again, waiting for the bus at 4am after work at Hollywood and Highland drinking a bottle of rum, Spike aka RJ, Queen Victoria, Victoria, Chiller (the wet lizard), a 16 bedroom dorm room,  smelly socks, all our stuff getting stolen, the Usher Party - I have to use my visa it's an emergency we need more drinks $160 later, bed bugs, bed bugs and more bed bugs, losing the apartment, Vegas - the best birthday ever, hustling for free limo rides, the awful bus drivers, getting dorkified, our day trips ending up being just us hanging out and drinking, night time tears,  the dreaded hostel cough that I gave to everyone, hat wars, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, R, Y, A, N, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, haha you started that one, being on our last dollar and still managing to get by, smelling our socks to see which ones can still be worn lol man that got so bad, your Australianims - jumper, singlet, oi, Mackers, toilet. Being unstoppable, realizing you actually have curly hair, baby oil, conditioner, Bubba Gump's,  never making it to the Tar Pits, me being horrible with money, me accidentally locking you out and you banging on the wrong window and the woman thought you were a peeping Tom lol too funny but I felt so horrible, a king size bed made from to different sized mattresses so in the end sleeping on one mattress, buying you new sheets and head testing your new pillows, pool days ending up in you trying to throw me in the pool, taking care of me when I'm not feeling well, you getting a membership at a gay gym and coming home with stacks of business cards from all the guys there, my southern twang accent you like so much, your british accent, telling travelers at the hostel I was a penguin trainer, SYNERGY, business plans that go just as fast as they came,  Dallas coming home wasted and spitting all night, Justo with his swollen eyes, earthquakes, me getting my miracle, my Paris Hilton Pefume, babe can I use your razor?  Emmie can I use your hair mousse?  Vikram's scissors, getting through the toughest times, growing as a person, sharing every waking and sleeping moment with someone (not always easy but we did it), never knowing what a song is called or who it's by even though you were a DJ, you branding me with the Australian flag, I always managed to find your hand and slip mine in it,  trying to buy me pepper spray,  you eating pretzels and jerky in bed,  grape fights and waking up to them in my hair, pinning me up against a chain link fence until I kissed you,  my very own Harry Potter (you never did show me any wizard tricks I'm thinking you glamoured me), "Emmie, Ryan have you seen my towel, oh wait I found it" "DONT USE THAT TOWEL!!!",  who was that guy that came into the room that night it wasn't Justin, Lopedawg, Em Dawg and Hawt Dawg, Leo Dicaprio, Twilight, Justin and his spray tan lol I did a bad job he looked like a Zebra, your house on the hill, Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, dry noodles, talking to me in your sleep, calling me turtle and then I lost my shell and you called me a slug and then said sea turtle because they are cuter,  being your heating blanket and calling me a Polar Bear, Mother Hen, tocitos at 3am (bad idea),  Massive Attack, Air, La Roux, hookers in Vegas thinking I was working you, Zietgiest and remembering your dreams...I hope I didn't forget anything.
These past five months have been incredible.  We went through hell and high water together and I would not take a second of it back.  It wasn't always easy, you went through your depression and I went through dealing with Max stuff, but we supported each other no matter what.
It was harder not living with you then it was living with you.  It was more of a struggle but we got through that too.  We wouldn't let anything or anyone tear us down.  We were in it together no matter what.
 You have taught me so much about myself these past few months. When we met I was heart broken and wanting close myself off to the world and others. I tried to be bulletproof but you wouldn't let me. Bit by bit everyday you listened and let me be me with no judgment calls.  You showed me what it's like to have what I deserve in life.  You made me feel beautiful again inside as well as out, that I'm strong and I can take on anything life throws at me. You always say your a lucky man but I consider myself a lucky woman.  Lucky to have someone in my life like you and share with you what we shared.  There are no words to describe what you mean to me or what we had together means, I can try to explain but I know you could look in my eyes and understand because with you I don't always need to say it you just know.  For the first time in my life I actually felt worthy of something so incredible that always seemed just out of my reach and you took my hand and shared the beauty with me.  It was like everything I shared with you was the first time I shared it with anyone, like everything we were doing was the first time for both of us.  I grew up so much and can stand on my own two feet now, no matter what comes at me.
I watched you grow from this "Cool guy" who always needed to prove something to people and  himself what he what he believed in,  a guy who needed a five year plan to feel settled and comfortable in life into a man who knows what his beliefs are and he doesn't need to prove them anymore because he knows where he stands with himself.  A man that still wants a five year plan but it's ok to stop and smell the roses and take things day by day.  A man that knows as people we aren't perfect and we make mistakes and it's ok, and a man who realized it's ok to let your feelings take over sometimes.
I never thought you would fall in love with me.  I tried so hard not to but I finally let go of my fears and let it happen.  Loving someone and them loving you back is an amazing feeling and when we both finally let go it was so beautiful and I will always hold on to it.
Saying goodbye to you last week was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. Then you showed up at the hostel to say goodbye one last time. You are my best friend, my family and my lover and I miss you like crazy, but maybe this is just another challenge for us.  We never went two weeks without something coming up and biting us but no matter what we got through it.  Nothing ever broke us, nothing ever knocked us down,  together we are unstoppable and no matter what happened we just seemed to get stronger and closer...closer then either of us ever thought.  It's hard not having my best friend around,  who is going to pick me up when I'm down, who is going to be in bed waiting to hear about my day,  who is going to sit and talk about nothing all night but yet it's the most important conversation.  You get me Ryan, and I have never had that.  You got the real me, shell gone and all and I don't regret it.
I miss you so much but know we will see each other again soon.  Just remember who you are and don't lose sight of that, and when in doubt I gave you my world so just hold on to it.
 I would sleep with you in a box in a ten year dream.
I love you

Lopedog and Dallas Daze

My dearest Dallas,

I know I was supposed to write you a plane letter but when I was planning on writing it we cooked up our last super and cried over a bottle of wine instead.  So here is your online plane letter/blog.  Besides I want everyone to see what you mean to me.

But where do I begin there is so much to say.  Well, you haven't been gone even a week and I miss you like crazy.  I cried a little on Saturday, I saw your stupid empty bottle of Ancient Age and started tearing so I went and put on your hoodie. Then at work they played Lady GaGa and had to hold back the tears.

Now enough about "you" lets talk about how I feel about "you." :)

So we met our first night in California and that was it, we were friends from that moment on. In such a short but important period of my life you have become one of my best friends.  You are one of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life.  Sometimes I wonder if you know how amazing you are but I think right at the end you were realizing it.  You are amazing, driven, committed and caring for everyone around you.  Not only have you grown as an actor but you have grown as a person and I am so proud of you in your accomplishments and know that you are going to do amazing things and I am very honoured to say that you are my friend.  You have helped me grow and given me a better understanding of myself and the relationships around me.  You are the male version of me, 9 days apart and both Gemini's.  Tough because we always want it to be about us and there are so many days I wanted to sock you in the face, especially while we were sitting at the bus stop and you wouldn't stop singing.  I told you I wasn't in the mood to listen so you being you turned your head leaned into my hear and started singing at the top of your lungs. LOL.  I so wanted to kill you but it was super funny and of course I couldn't help but laugh.  But spending time with someone who is so much like me made me realize and understand my relationship with my mom.  We get on eachother's nerves and fight like cat's and dog's and I always figured it was because she is my mom. But you have made me understand The Gemini and myself and I have come to realize that my mom and I are so much of the same person it's hard to deal with sometimes and I know that when I see her again our relastionship with her will be on a different level of understanding her as well as myself and I thank you for that.  (Don't cry yet, it's not the right time of the blog)

I have to find a new adventure buddy :(  I miss seeing your face everyday.  I haven't been to the hostel there is no point.  Who is going to sing songs and show tunes with me in unison at the drop of a hat.  Who can I quiz on movie lines: "Me!" "Excuse me officer don't you know who this man is?..."

I have so many memories with you that should never be forgotten.  Here goes.

Remeber: nasty burrito's, Mulholland Dr.,  the Hollywood Walk of Fame and never finding Madonna's Star, the fart book, the fart song,  missing iPod's and waking up with someone else shirt and then getting your socks returned washed, Marky Mark,  Boulevard 3 and not knowing what it looks like on the inside,  the fucking rooster, Ryan's singing rooster, noisy roommates (oh ya oh ya), Rum, Takaa Vodka the cheapest around, taste testing vodka in the bottler, Ancient Age or as I like to call it Aged Liver, "I can get u into any club but u have to pay", the hottest people in the bar, "Whats this song called?", getting drunk off of 3 rums and then u walking out holding urself saying u have to pee,thinking we saw Matthew McHonoghy and it was an imposter - we should've just taken the picture nobody would've known from the angle we were at, U Turns on the freeway ramp, not being able to make left turns, a treasure hunt that wasn't so fun, stealing shopping carts for groceries and taking it down Melrose, Troop Beverly Hills, a shitty promotion job, Lady Gaga, Telephone, the Melbourne Shuffle, the party room (we owned that room) or should I say your fishing grounds, speakers falling from the ceiling, pooping in the party room, MR. BIG HANDS (just imagine...), coming in wasted and letting us all know how the vodka made you feel, spitting in your sleep, waking up without pants and texting me asking why you have no clothes on, leaving your friends at the club, Zoltar - "I just want to be big" and getting a really bad fortune,  amazing talks, tears of joy, tears of sadness, RENT, the Pointer Sisters, watching the Oscar's in the Silent Theatre and leaving because we drank too much, singing our lungs out, Mac and Cheese, it's a buggy not a trolly, "They say that your buffet here is the cats meow", "Ughh", Friday night hostel parties, Anzac day tattoo's, Lopedog and Hawt Dawg, my new found Aussie slang, "Security", possessed choir boys, bed bugs, nights of tears due to my wine drinking, rum, vodka, to many cigarettes, job hunting well the attempt to job hunt and getting distracted, rum, always ending up with free food,  your beer collection, vodka, movie days in the party room, TUNA FIGHTS, "Good morning my love how are you?" "Still Gay!!!", afternoon naps, YO MAMMA, thanking your parents for having sex because they made such a great looking person, BOOBS!!! - I'm still waiting for you to tell us your straight, "Hi I'm Emmie, it's my first night in a hostel, whats your name do you want to be friends?"- who would've thought it would end up to be one of the best friendships, two of the best months I have ever had "Thank You."

I don't know what else to say except I love you and I can't wait to see you in February.  Like Ivana told you, spray yourself all over Australia, I know you will.  The movie industry doesn't know what's coming to them.  Be strong and remember who you are, you have worked hard and deserve everything that is coming to you.  I have tears in my eye's right now (this is where you can cry).  Don't forget I am your date to the Oscar's.  Take care of you and CALL ME!!! I love you sooo much and can't wait for the days that we will meet again.

Take care my love.

Cheers

Mates for life

Emmie

The amazing sky!

Well well, it's been a few weeks and I haven't posted anything but I do have a small sweet story to tell.  In this story is Me of course and my roommate Justin. We decided to go for a drive with no destination in mind.  Me, who loves playing tourist suggested we go up to the Hollywood sign (considering I am obsessed with it I just can't seem to take enough pictures of it).  So we began our drive up to the sign turning down this street and that street trying to get the right one to get us up there.  Well we never made it up there because Justin decided to take me up to the Griffith Observatory.
It's right on top of the Hills and looks out over L.A. and has a perfect view of the sign so I was super stoked.  There was so much to see inside and outside.  There was a pendulum that moves with the rotation of the earths axis, telescopes, displays with meteor's and the Leonard Nemoy theatre.
There are telescopes that you look into with spectrums of the sun and a telescope that you can actually look at the sun directly which was pretty awesome.
There was one area where it had all the different planets and a scale and it tells you how much you would weigh on each planet, I weighed almost 300lbs on Jupiter, 1.5lbs on Pluto and on Earth I weighed....haha I'll never tell. We were like two kids in a candy store we had sooo much fun.  We even went to the Leonard Nemoy Theatre where a documentary of the observatory was being shown.  - Griffith Observatory started as one man's vision for inspiring people through astronomy and has become the most visited public observatory in the World.  Griffith J. Griffith first fabe Griffith Park to Los Angeles in 1896. He left money in his will in 1919 to build the Observatory and the Greek Theatre.
Leading astronomers and architects guided design and construction , and the Observatory opened May 14 1935.  With Art Deco, Moderne, Greek Revival, and Beaux Arts architectural influences, the stately building actually looks like an observatory.  It soon became a featured location in hundreds of movie and TV productions.
Always intended for public astronomy rather than research, the Observatory offered public telescopes, astronomy exhibits, and the third planetarium theater in the U.S.  Nearly 70 million people entered the building from 1935-2002, with many more visitng solely for the unparalleled view of the Los Angeles basin.  The Observatory indtroduced one of the region's first structrued school field trips, and generations of students came on visits that inspired careers in science, engineering and beyond.
After nearly 67 years of heavy use, the Observatory closed in 2002 for it's first comprehensive renovation and expansion.  This ambitious public-private partnership renewed the Observatory's world-class standing and enhanced it's ability to serve the public.
Just incase you are wondering I didn't actually remember all that I typed it out of the pamphlet lol. But when they closed it for the renovations they actually lifted up the whole building and nothing fell or broke. I had no idea it had such a history and was such a landmark and it's been in many movies it's first movie being Rebel Without a Cause (I think that was the one) and it showed footage from the movie. It's pretty cool to think that James Dean walked that very floor :).
We were the during the day so I didn't get to do any start gazing but getting to see the sun through the telescopes was really cool, I've never done that before.
It was really awesome getting to spend that time with Justin as he had to make a quick decision and move back to his home town Alabama the next day.
I know this as funny as my usual blogs but it was a little educational and I thought that this adventure and my last day with Justin deserved it's own blog.  All the pictures are posted on FaceBook in the Amazing Sky Album.
Miss you Justo

Relaxed

Well I have been at the hostel over a week now, and I’m still loving it, the and the guys are super tight and have been talking about getting a place together. I feel I am very lucky to have such a great first experience at a hostel because it could’ve gone either way. Anyways I had to say goodbye to another friend. Our crazy Spanish roomie Garcia. What a character, funny, down to earth, wild and crazy but a great roommate. So I have now said goodbye to about 5 people. I guess with travelling you get used to saying goodbye to people, though it’s kind of cool at the same time because you can meet up with them later on which is what I am doing with Pete who was our roomie for about 2 or 3 days.
To be honest I haven’t really done much the past week. I am taking it easy. With working so much back home it’s kind of nice to not have any responsibilities for once. I am actually relaxed and not stressed out for once lol it’s a nice feeling. I have just chilled out and read my book, did some research in my Lonely Planet book for Sand Diego, met some new people (most of them Aussies) – some so beautiful and a majority of them gay lol of course- strolled down Melrose which is one of my new favourite hobbies, gone out with the boys and Ellie to the Saddle Ranch. We were supposed to go to Guys and Dolls, we were all dressed up really hot (the guys in suits us girls in dresses and heels) but we got there to late so we end up at the Saddle Ranch (which is a pub –Rusty’s like) that has a mechanical bull and karaoke dressed up like we were going to a wedding, but we didn’t care it didn’t stop us from getting a “little” tipsy. I went to the Avalon with the shuffle crew – long story, went shopping at the Grove, taken Justin’s suit to the dry cleaners, and I bought a new phone, I officially have a real California phone with a real California number haha and I cannot get over how cheap the phone plans are here for $60 a month I have unlimited local and international calls, unlimited text messaging and the internet can you believe that, it’s so cheap. My phone cost me $20 and with my rebate it’s only costing me $9 haha.
Well I am off to buy myself some cheap running shoes and then a pack of smokes for Dallas and I. I know I know I was supposed to have quit which I did but I started again. Bad me!

I'm here!!!

Well I am here.  West Hollywood California!  And...I love it!!!  (know it’s been almost a week since my last blog but it took me this long to connect my laptop to the wifi here at the hostel.)

So I left Las Vegas Sunday Morning.  Of course I shed some tears when I said goodbye to Pauly.  I was terrified, it was the day that I officially was going to be on my own and I was feeling anxious.  Ben (who we met the first night) was driving me to the Greyhound station.  He picked me up I said my teary goodbye to Pauly and we were off.  It was still pretty early so we went to Denny’s for breakfast and then went to the station.  At this point I was really starting to get anxiety, I couldn’t believe the moment had come that I was going to board the bus and start this journey.  Ben stayed and chatted with me for an hour which was awesome because he himself has done an extensive amount of travelling and he told me about his experiences as a solo traveller so it was really nice, reassuring and calming so by the time he left I was feeling ok.

I met an interesting couple at the bus station; her, a sweet plump 22 year old in a wheelchair and her husband a tall lanky Napoleon Dynamite looking guy.  I saw a woman with jogging pants that were too big on her and when she pulled them up to try and hold them up by what looked like a cheap knock off of an Ed Hardy belt you could see she was wearing no underwear who was with her friend who I knew was a woman but didn’t quite look like one.  Then I met Ben ( yes another one) a 21 year old just travelling around and wanting to find a bartending  job.  We travelled all the way to Hollywood together.  The drive, just as before was beautiful.  The bus had huge panoramic windows and on either side were just mountains so high that the snow on the peaks blended in with the white clouds.  As I looked out the window I couldn’t help but smile with a tear in my eye because I knew this was it.  I had done it, on my own alone in this huge world and I realized how proud I am of myself for actually doing this.

With a transfer in LA I arrived in Hollywood at about 7pm.  With saying goodbye to Ben and being the only one in the bus station and waiting for a cab I felt alone for the first time.  I was relieved when the cab got there because I just wanted to check into the hostel and then go meet up with Ellie.

I was a little nervous when I first walked in the door as I had never been to a hostel before and didn’t know what to expect.  There was overbooking of travellers to beds so within a half hour my bed had switched three times.  Frustrated and relieved I finally head to Ellie’s.

It was sooo good to see her.  We drank some rum, caught up and went out to the Saddle Ranch it did it up pretty good finishing the night off with chilli cheese fries and I can’t remember what else we had but it definately greasy lol.

I get back to the hostel about 3 o’clock a little nervous  to sleep in a dorm room with 5 people I didn’t know.  As I am getting ready to crawl into bed I realize my bed is no longer my bed and someone is sleeping in it.  I lost my shit!  They wanted to transfer me to another hostel and everything.  Not happy, its 3am, I’m tired and frustrated I kind of wanted to just pick up and go home.  Just at that moment a guy walked through the door and stressfully I asked him if he had a cigarette ( I know I quit) and in a sexy Australian accent he said no and then asked me if I was ok and I said no and told him the situation.  He told the front desk to give me a blanket and that I was fine for the night and we would figure out everything in the morning.   Anyways we couldn’t sleep so we went down to the party/tv room and hung out for a bit.  He said this is what travelling is all about and not to worry.  The next day I went to the front desk and I was told my night was free and they found me a bed.  But Ryan (the Aussie) had a free bed in his room so we are now roommates.  The best thing, none of us snore and we all get along so well. With everything getting cleared up and me getting almost a three week stay here – I decided to suck it up and stay in a dorm room and not go to a private because I’m actually loving this dorm thing – I was ready to do some sightseeing.

So at 11am Dallas (another Aussie from my original room) we started walking to do a little site seeing.  We walked all the way to the Hollywood Walk of Fame and walked the entire thing.  Plus they are setting up for the Oscars so it was pretty awesome.  Six hours later we end up back at the hostel with blisters on our feet and a bottle of Jim Beam and Bacardi.  It was a great day and it was free which was even better.

As we walked and talked I had this crazy feeling of exhilaration.  Its an exhilaration that I cant explain or make you understand unless you have traveled.  The feeling of being out in the world, by yourself with no one to worry about or meet up with and go where you want to go and do what you want to do and meet people who are doing it to for their own reasons.  You have an instant family like connection with people, some more than others.  Justin, Ryan and Dallas are the ones that I am close with.  They are amazing and in the short 48 hours I have known them I can’t believe that this time last week they weren’t in my life.  Justin who is from Vegas is here to start something new; Ryan an investment banker from Melbourne who has the travel bug and Dallas an actor from Sydney who is taking acting classes here.  All so different and possibly people I wouldn’t be friends with under any other circumstances but here we are, here I am having an experience with complete strangers but I wouldn’t have it any other way.  As much as I miss you all at home I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world-if that makes sense.

Anyways last night we went to a party then a club and then I dragged the boys home by midnight as they were falling over drunk and of course I am the one that ends up with bruises, due to the fact that drunkenly one of them knocked my into a fire hydrant and my knees are now swollen and covered in bruises lol but it was all in good fun.

I think I am the only Canadian staying at this hostel which is kind of cool and I apparently have a nice accent – lol what accent. I met one Canadian last night who is from Hamilton and now lives here and he knew Colingwood so I was super stoked about that.  I am surrounded by English, German, French and a ton of Aussies it almost makes me forget where I actually am.  I am starting to pick up accents and new slangs.

We went to a viewing of the Oscar’s next store to our hostel at the Silent Movie theatre.  It was pretty awesome sitting in a theatre of 100 people watching the Oscar’s on a big screen, it almost felt like we were there.  But, with being able to bring in your own drinks we drank too much and left because we couldn’t sit anymore so we just went back to the hostel and partied with everyone else. 

The area we are living/staying in is awesome – Fairfax Village and it’s amazing here.  Everything is here. Melrose Avenue is the next street over, The Grove is about a 5 minute walk, Starbucks, Coffee Bean, the Hollywood Hills is my view as soon as I leave the hostel.  I could live here! It’s so beautiful. And the fashion, WOW! The high school kids have better fashion then me lol, it’s pretty cool.

So this week we are job hunting so we have some extra cash and next week so wish me luck!  Talk soon.
