One of my favourite things about LA would have to be the street art.
Here are some gems I came across today while walking around Downtown.
my dream is to wear only black and red lipstick and walk around breaking hearts
I think your 20s are the hardest part of life. I mean, everyone goes on about how hard it is to be a teenager, but actually I think it’s tougher to be in your 20s because you’re expected to be a grownup and expected to earn your own living and be successful and I think you feel like a kid still.

I say this aaaaaaaaaaalllllllll the time.
I can’t actually remember the last time I felt this way. I have had so many dreams come true in the last few weeks. Audrey Kitching in Mermaid Killer. Getting sent a car, that also happened to be a Rolls Royce. Moving to LA and it feeling as though I always imagined it (last time it never felt right, or even moderately how I imagined it). I have all my motivation back.
“Gothic Holly Golightly”.
Kelli and I bonded over our mutual love for Good Charlotte, ten years ago. We’ve been BFF’s ever since and think Good Charlotte are the biggest “sell outs” of all time.
You deserve someone who would jump fences to be with you not someone who is on the fence about being with you.
I only moved to LA a week ago, so coming home on the Metro train can be a bit concerning. I’ve never lived in North Hollywood before - and so far I’m loving it. Last night I got off the Metro to go home and felt ambivalent about walking back to my apartment the same route I usually take in the day. It’s quite desolate at night, but I decided to do it anyway because fuck feeling unsafe.
I heard someone walking behind me so I turned around to not only look at them but to make eye contact. It’s something I like to do with people who could potentially attack me to let them know I’m in control of the situation. Anyway, as I turned to look the person walking behind me said, “You’re not in danger or anything”, which I thought was nice. Although I guess that could also still be used if I actually WAS in danger?
So in the end turns out he was a really hot dude and we talked on the walk back and he lives in the apartment block near me and he asked for my phone number.
The end.
I traded symmetry for everything I loved.

I've been vegetarian for 4 months (today actually! woohoo!) solely for health reasons. I find myself exceedingly frustrated amidst this summer party season. I'm already getting so sick of having to get dinner before a party so I'm not stuck on chips and carrots the whole night and then swatting away everyone's prying and overtly rude comments about being veg because they think it's bullshit. I just don't know how I'm going to last the rest of the summer.
Congrats!
My favourite thing when I go to a party (if I’m unsure if there will be food for me to eat) is to bring a dish! I like to bring a dish that’s not typically vegan, so then the subject never arises and you don’t have to defend your choices… because they won’t even think about it.
Some good choices you can make vegan are spinach and artichoke dip, a big guacamole and salsa platter with roasted flat bread, cupcakes, chocolate mousse, cannelloni or lasagne.
