Although I'm loving Hollywood, it is very different from New York. And so are the guys...
The guys in Hollywood are, well, let me use the term "Loose." They seem to think that they can score any chick that they want by saying that they make movies, they are an actor and starring in the next best thing, or they just wrote an Oscar winning screenplay. So of course if I get approached and I don't seem interested, they assume that I'm just an uptight New York bitch. It almost seems as if a girl has never blown them off before. One guy even said to me "Oh, come on, this is Hollywood, baby!"
I know that being out here is all about networking. But you'll know whether somebody is full of shit or not. For the most part, I've made tons of friends connections out here. Everybody here is really friendly. Which could mean either one of two things; a) they are actually really friendly, or b) they are fake, because they think that just maybe, you can help further their career. You see, this can also be known as networking. But there's a classy way to go about it, and then there's the "Loose" way to go about it. I'm sure either could work, but I prefer the route of showing people that I actually have talent. (And I'm not talking about in the bedroom).
And over the weekend I even went to my first Hollywood after party at a house in the hills, where everybody was doing all kinds of illegal stuff.Which reminded me of one of my favorite "Saved by the Bell" episodes - the one where the hot shot movie star came to Bayside High to film an anti drug commercial. And when Kelly Kapowski and co. went to his "Hollywood" party, it turned out that he himself did drugs. Typical!
Yep, Hollywood is exactly what you think it is. Everybody here lives in the fast lane. I mean, come on, "This is Hollywood, baby!"

I'm not sure but maybe you were expecting a different lifestyle of most people there.. Either way, it's good to see that you are conscious enough to notice that stuff and be able to say "no" and remain who you are.
Despite all that "Loose" guys and other stuff I hope you can live the way you want there in Hollywod and that you can show everybody your talent! ;)
Thanks for the comment :) But I kinda expected it to be this way. I think it's pretty humorous though.
Glad you are staying true to yourself.
HI JEN! so sorry!! I haven't even read a word yet! But you are from CALI!! (YAY!) so I am following ASAP!! and commenting before reading lol ! :) no nice to 'meet' you!! I can't wait to go back and read now lol
Haha, thanks Iva!
Everyone and everything in Hollywood is fake. Keep a close eye on your soul, or it will be stolen.
It sounds like you're keeping your head on your shoulders! And I LOVE that Saved By The Bell episode! :)
Oh girl, come up to Northern California. We're much nicer! ;-) That is of course, after you make it big with your loose connections. Haha, like the others said, just be true to yourself and don't get too caught up with the fake people.
I'd probably be labeled a "prudish Colorado chick", ha! Whatevs... those of us who stay true to ourselves win in the long run, anyway.
I agree! if you can make it out of Hollywood as the same person that you were when you got there, then you've succeeded!
Yeppers - I never go out anymore because of all the plastics around. I just said to T the other day (during an episode of Season 2 Californication) that we should frequent more L.A. places - then put on my sweat pants and ate some chocolate. Much better :)
