10 Reasons to Date an Artist 5 Reasons to Date Me

First Read this: http://www.howaboutwe.com/date-report/10-reasons-to-date-someone-in-the-arts/
Number 10 is my favorite:

Artists lead exciting, passionate lives.

And when you date them, you get to be a part of it for a while.

Now I am going to give a list of 5 reasons why you would want to date me as someone who has always been involved with the arts:

1.  The arts have shown me I am passionate, I appreciate life, I cherish the little things
2.  From comedy classes and teaching kids I can now make any mundane activity fun because I find the joy in almost anything ( I'm also told I'm funny so that helps keep things lively too)
3. I am creative so I am always making something cool and interesting for you to enjoy or laugh at if it turns out really badly
4. Acting has taught me to know my objectives so I know what I want so there's no bullshiting
5. Because I know what I want to be I have a direction and path I'm following so isn't someone with the courage to follow the dream and take a risk kinda sexy???

Pets and Soldier Return Home Videos

There are so many of these videos floating around the internet universe. Not a week goes by on fb I don't see a link to one of them and I can't resist. the connection between humans and animals is so amazing This video however is my personal favorite http://teddyhilton.com/2012-05-26-soldier-returns-dog-cries  Clearly the dog is so overwhelmed to see it's owner again. It makes me think what it will be like when I'm reunited with all of our pets in MA I miss Zoey the most and plan on seeing her asap. I think Mahalo will show the most recognition because he will even bark when he hears my voice on the phone (once skyping he liked the ipad) and Wally I think will care less! My new room mate has a cat but I do miss PV's dog Thor I really want a pet but honestly feeding myself is hard enough but its the one year plan for sure. Animal's love and devotion never cease to amaze me ~S~

A One Year Commitment

About 2 weeks ago now I signed a one year lease with my Aussie Julius and our new roommate Kate
 ( also a Nichiren Buddhist).  This is a big step for me considering I am signing into a life plan. We only have one sub lease for the whole year and J has pretty much claimed that in case he doesn't apply for a visa here. It's important to me because ever since Nov 2009 I haven't been able to commit to anything really. It's been a survive day by day just make it through kind of mentality and that still is very much the case here. However at least there's a standard of time that extends beyond the immediate to the future- all crises aside I will be in West Hollywood for the next year. Of course that scares me but I also find so much relief in that. It means no moving, having a consistent home, and establishing a life here. I haven't the slightest clue what is in store for me I just hope it involves a camera, me in makeup, and a director saying action!

Kish and I out today!

Cabo, Comedy, and Karaoke

I think I have finally recovered enough from Tuesday to actually share a little something about it. First off if there is anything you should know about me is that I love karaoke, I would do it totally sober, but I don't think I ever have.  I haven't had a real night out since St Patrick's Day in a vain attempt to save money and my dignity surprisingly i'm still pretty sure neither are in tact! So when we decided to go to Cabo before Alex's show and it was buy one get one for any cocktail I knew what the pace of this outing would be. Cabo Cantina has several locations around LA and I have never once left their establishment not drunk. So after some girl talk, boy bashing, good food, and drink we headed to the show a mere one block over. The number one rule in ANY comedy show is do NOT sit in the front row. Maybe it was the booze or my desire for an entertaining night but we sat right in the front. Amy got covered in egg and so was "my phone." The show was fun and completely different then when I originally was helping them remember lines a few months back. Totally completely worth 5 bucks and the drive to Santa Monica. I didn't think I was too bad but when I tried to help clean up the confetti all over the floor by detaching the dust pan from the broom I smacked my face with the broom..... yes you read that correctly. Afterwards it was only a small one block a way to the Britannia Pub, infamous scene of my 25th birthday. I say infamous because one of the barbacks said "Aren't you Felcia's friend?" "Yea, I am" "I remember you the girl who threw up at the bar".......... ( insert slow embarrassed head nod here) I was reintroduced to another acquaintance from St Pats who said "I remember you now your the girl who drinks bacardi and coke" and apparently that's how i'm known to men in LA. Anyways I was completely distracted by the foreigners- 3 British guys on holiday. Fact: if there is a hot European anywhere in my vicinity I sense them like a hawk I don't even try it's just like instinct. Of course I loved being the center of 3 men's attention but even my puppy dogs eyes could not entice a single one to sing karaoke! Eventually I jumped in a spice girls rendition and 50 cent song- me rapping is always hilarious. I have to say all in all it was a pretty serendipitous night flowing from one fun thing to the next. I have to say although I am not a big partier when I do the rules go out the window- 9:30 am for work was a little rough though ~S~

The Point of No Turning Back

When it comes time to make a decision there inevitably is always a moment in time where the decision is in the balance. I always knew and planned for moving to LA but I remember trying to put my foot down on the gas to pull away from my childhood house and was stuck. 4 1/2 hours into the drive I nearly turned around I actually pulled over and had to tell myself it was just fear and that I could do anything. Since that moment I have not looked back once with regret because even if nothing ever happens here ever I did it. I think all kinds of relationships hit that point at some point to. Especially in dating I think you can always trace it to a moment you thought I could love this person or I could never love this person then all the rest of it is details. I think sometimes we try to trick ourselves or give false reasons for why we made the decisions we did but in the end we always knew from the beginning. If you listen to your heart truly you will know what the right decision is, always. ~S~

When Horoscopes Blow Your Mind

So I have always been a fan of horoscopes, tarot cards, anything of that sort. When I was 14 I made my email aquarius and my birthday and it been the same ever since. Today mine read "Under the combined influence of the Hermit and Justice you are craving for security and calm, and for sorting out your love relationships. You therefore decide to keep away from people and withdraw into the depth of your own soul, to assess your situation."I couldn't have written a more purely true statement then if i had actually written it myself. The day of prom my horoscope said something like "you have worked very hard for this day, celebrate, and don't forget to make you acceptance speech short" that night I was crowned prom queen! Of course I think there are hookey bs things out there but i do think overall there is something to it. Have you ever met someone and been like they are such a (insert sign here) and they were. I had one friend and he was so his sign it was unbelievable and I do think I am very much the passionate, emotional, caring aquarius.

Girls in their 20's

So I was told I would like the new HBO Show Girls but it's almost too much like my life to be interesting...however it has introduced me to some good music and I enjoy that not all the girls are super thin and traditionally pretty. The thing about your 20's is of course you are broke because well who knows what they actually want to be doing and if you do it's most likely out of reach. You are also bound to fall for the shitest guys you can find ya know the one who uses you and never calls I think maybe by 30 we'll get over this one. There's also that nagging feeling of shouldn't I be further along then I am at this point? but the truth is not really you are still young and have years to figure stuff out. I also think it's a time to learn from your mistakes and to make mistakes because hell if your doing the same damn thing at 40 it's kind of pathetic. Basically the show just confirms everything I already know/experience as a girl in my 20's. One of the songs on the show has the following lyrics:
(BTW the girl singer's name is Shannon)
 I make the same mistakes
 Feels like I never learn
 Always give way too much
 For little in return
 I haven't changed a bit
 I’m still not over it
 I make the same mistakes
 I make the same mistakes
 Listen to it here: If you read my blog you know one of my current goals is to stop making the same mistakes JBRown pointed out maybe I should stop falling for people that have no interest in dating me (Point JBrown)so what if my favorite guy at work happens to have a live in girlfriend he nicknamed me Massachusetts lol and my other super hot coworker pulled an elaborate prank on me today sure he drives 3 hours to visit his girl whatever but I'm learning I swear I'm learning! The broke factor well I don't have that figured out in the slightest either. However I do know what I want to be doing so I just have to work harder on the steps to get there. Dear Girls show writer also the main character (2nd point JBrown) you should write me as the 5th eccentric LA girl who brings in the sunny optimistic perspective!~S~
