Frozen grapes?? You had me until then! ;)

yeah, frozen grapes. what about 'em? they're a really good snack and i totally recommend it.
next time you go to the grocery store, buy a bunch and put them them in the freezer. later, rinse them in cool water (not quite luke warm) to wash them off and keep them from freezing your teeth. if your teeth are very sensitive (like mine) when you eat one, hold it in your mouth for a second before biting into it.
and that, my dear, is the art of frozen grapes.

OK, I've just now put a test grape in the freezer. I'll keep you posted.

If I like it, then you have to try my specialty of fried bananas and turkey sausage.

why thank you. i should have known you would agree

Morrissey and frozen grapes . . . two of my favorite things.

I have a similar fantasy, except I am in London not Hollywood, but otherwise the same. This might sound crazy, but why don't you try to get closer to what you want, even if only on a trial basis. Maybe do a semester at a university there (USC, UCLA?)? With financial aid and whatnot, anything is possible. I did a year in London (though I never got it out of my system). I know you are in a serious relationship, but a few months in Hollywood won't damage it. Maybe he'd be interested in going along? Find a way to live out your fantasy, even if only for a few months.

btw, I know this is unfair, I know who you are (lj-wise, that is) but you don't know me. Maybe one day I'll send you an email and tell you about myself. I keep saying I'll get an LJ but I never do. I just hate writing (which is strange considering the fact that I write for a living).

pixiekil April 26 2005, 03:27:59 UTC

yeah, but school, as you can see is not in this "fantasy."
so i have to do it all on my own. yes, of course it is possible, but a lot harder. and as for my relationship, that part actually isn't really defined in the fantasy.

all this anonymous-ness is quite confusing.
this is one person, is it not?

School is not in anyone's fantasy. However, school makes it very easy to finance a lot of the things non-students can't afford. A semester away (including living/housing expenses etc.) can easily be financed with financial aid - easy repayment terms upon graduating. You don't even have to take classes for your major, take a couple classes that interest you just for interest sake. I took all sorts of humanities classes, even though I was a special education major. When I came back, I had changed so much I found the courage to admit that I hated education; there was no way on earth I wanted to be a teacher. I promptly switched my major to something useless: English. I loved it and at least I was able to get through school without dreading each day. Anyway, so school is not in your fantasy . . . ok. Look for month or two month sublets on craigslist. Save up some money and go. Get a job at cafe or something there. If you like it, stay. If you miss MD, it is only 1 or 2 months and you'll be back.

Yes. One person.
