Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well. I still can't remember. o.o Oh well.

I am from Calabasas, grew up in Sherman Oaks, went to elementary school in Tarzana and Van Nuys, used to hang out in Granada Hills and Northridge, love to go on dates in Burbank, and my mom teaches in Chatsworth, my grandmother lived in Encino, my last ex-boyfriend is from North Hills, and my favorite restaurants are in Woodland Hills. However, I was born in Beverly Hills and am attending college in South Los Angeles. G-d knows where I'll end up, but it's gotta be somewhere in LA!

I meant job-wise. Though I guess I need even more luck for that! wink

No, I'm screwed. I'm a sportswriter. cry

That's what I mean. Print journalism is a dying industry; it's all going online. I interned at FOXSports.com, and frankly, I don't want to sit around on my a** all day copy-editing others' stories. Journalism is all about converging and downsizing. The LA Times keeps cutting staff, and the Daily News closed the valley bureau near my house.

So, let's say I get a job for a newspaper. They'll want me to take a camera and shoot b-roll, voice-overs and edit for a vo-sot-vo or package for the TV news affiliate, and cut down my story for the online edition and upload the clips there, too. Not my favorite.

I was considering working at Old Navy for the discount there and at the Gap...but I was too lazy and sat on my a** all summer writing my newest novel. And was the Summer Trojan sports editor. Lamesauce.
