Oh, hey guys!

Moved to LA and had a crazy year - but things have finally evened out (somewhat) and I can be more active on this forum.

So, ask away!

In your own home, do you prefer socks, shoes, or bare feet?

Some celebrities have interesting riders in their contracts, such as specific food products, decorations, sorted candies, etc. What would be in your rider?

If someone gave you a weekend long ticket to learn and do ziplining, scuba diving, parachuting/base jumping/paragliding, flying a plane, zero gravity (vomit comet), or race car driving, which would you choose and why?

Bare feet. Socks bum me out, man.

LaCroix, but only the plain or berry flavor.
Reesees Pumpkins/Eggs - whichever holiday shaped reesees are in season.
Everything pretzel chips and pine nut hummus.
Bananas, obv.
TV with super nintendo and Super Ghouls and Ghosts.

Flying a plane I think. It'd be fun and a sweet skill to add to the ol' bag of tricks.[DOUBLEPOST=1446588523,1446588460][/DOUBLEPOST]

Nope.

I eat mostly vegan still - but I'll have chicken or sushi occasionally. This weekend was chicken and waffles at Roscoes.

Leeks or onions?

Los Angeles is crazy. I feel like everyone always says that - but it's seriously crazy. Traffic isn't SO bad when you get a feel for it, there's definitely ways around those fabled traffic jams and I feel like I've had a harder time in Chicago with traffic. All the bars close at 2am, but there are afterhours bars that are sneaky but usually double as cocaine dens. I was completely unprepared for how superficial people out here could be. I've also moved up in my career a ridiculous amount just by schmoozing, networking (and fibbing a bit about my experience). Also - with very little weather time moves by SO fast.

Oh, the Santa Ana Winds just blew into town. Brr.[DOUBLEPOST=1446589339,1446589302][/DOUBLEPOST]

Onions. Probably because I'm inexperienced in the ways of leeks.

Arnold. He's the lesser of two crazies.

Are you under the impression that you would be safe and warm there? Well, just don't stop by any churches first when you eventually head out of town, I suppose.

No, I'm under the impression that my career is there as well as my school....which I'm anxious to get started. Hence the sad.

Yep.

I miss most jokes in text form. I rely a lot on visual cues and audio cues - so even if I miss the reference I can still normally get the joke that way.

Have you joined a gang yet? Was the application process a hassle? Did you just apply to the one or did you have a safty backup? If you fake being sick can you skip the "blood in" portion of the initiation? Is coordinating your wardrobe easier now that you mainly have only one color to wear all the time? Did looking good in Red factor into your decision?

I joined a union? That's kind of the same as a gang right? The Motion Picture Editor's Guild doesn't really make you bleed in but I did have to go to a meeting after a night shift and was super sleepy and it cost me a chunk of money. I wish I could have just gotten beat up by a gang of editors....

I haven't decided if I'm going to make the bacon sushi or just spread it out with my morning eggs.

Well my new job that's scheduled nights has been relatively tame. I have seen an entire stretch of all four lanes closed down on the 405 for some gigantic accident at 4am. Who knows what happened.

One point while working at the mansion I had to get a drunken, half-naked cast member in a van since he was kicked off the show. He threw up all over himself too.

WasabiPoptart said:

I'm sure if you put bananas, bacon, peanut butter and chocolate together - it'd be pretty damn good. And I chew my fingernails to keep my uptake on potassium going without ruining my fingers.

We could definitely hang out! I'm free during the day and Saturday and Sundays. You still planning on moving here??

YAY!!

And YESS. If I could move there tomorrow I would - our hang up is Nate finding/getting a job. While he's a smart man and has his degree in electrical engineering, everyone wants experience before hiring him. So we're stuck in this weird vortex of he needs experience but how else is he supposed to get it other than getting a job?

Anyway, it's dumb. Your number the same? I'll text you when I'm in town!

Yes! Still on it, moved up to assistant editor which is nice. Juicy behind the scenes stuff is there is a lot of making out with the main cast that doesn't make it on the show because it's just kind of sloppy how much spit is swapped on that show.
