inmylittleshoes:
College meals don’t have to be compilations of random ingredients thrown together, although they often are. I know I don’t always grocery shop with recipes in mind, so a little bit of imagination helps me pull ingredients together. I started out with tomatoes and I ended up with this.

February assessment.
All in all, this month has sucked all around. I go to sleep because I’m tired of being awake. Here’s hoping March is better.
Writer's block.
So much writer’s block these days it’s ridiculous. I used to need to be sad to be able to write but now I need to be happy. Probably because in high school I always wrote sad poetry but now I write comedy.
Woman: Can I have birth control?
Government: No.
Woman: I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Government: No.
Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Government: No.

Kissing
…is such a strange thing. I wonder who decided in the course of humanity that putting their mouth on someone else’s mouth was a way to show affection.
Hi. I'm Joy.
A writer/actor with big eyes who believes in dreams and irrational things. Which is three ways of saying the same thing.
“For someone who believes in dreams and irrational things… I guess now...”

“I always wanted a girl with big eyes.”

On moving out.
I’ve been worrying lately about how lonely I’m going to feel once I move away from my family. But I already feel lonely living at home. LA can feel like such a lonely town. And moving to LA will mean that I can go to my friends’ parties, I can pop over to their apartments, I can go clubbing and dancing and not have to worry about driving 30 miles home at 2 in the morning, I can...

Argentum Pilot Season special
2 headshots for the price of one? Don’t mind if I do.
Good thing I have this new job… I am spending money like water. Can’t wait for my paycheck this Friday. My bank account is hemorrhaging.
Move to LA by April? Or May?
Can I do it? Is it possible?
I want to. This commute is slowly driving me insane.
May AT THE LATEST. How’s that for a promise to myself.
Huh?
sincerely puzzled by what happened on my way home at a stoplight. Random guys in car next to me wave. I wonder if I know them. They motion for me to roll down my window and it's a younger Asian guy and an old Asian guy.
YOUNGER ASIAN GUY: Where are you going?
ME: ...home?
YOUNGER ASIAN GUY: Where's home?
ME: ...that way? [points]
YOUNGER ASIAN GUY: I'm new to this neighborhood.
ME: Ah.
YOUNGER ASIAN GUY: What are you?
ME: ...uh, Filipino?
The light turns green. The guy looks like he wants to talk more but I wave and speed off. So weird.

The Language Archive, by Julia Cho
George: So, Mary.
There is a certain language…our language…and. If you don’t come back, I can’t speak it
anymore. Do you understand? We are the only two speakers of that language. And if
you don’t come back, the language will die. And no one on earth will ever speak it again.
Mary: I’m sorry.
But I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.
I have never understood what you were trying to say.
Pictures tell stories of happier times.
Feeling a weird mixture of hyped up on sugar and caffeine and completely exhausted from 3 hours of sleep.
9 straight weeks at airports.
Four square really has a way of telling it like it is
Endings.
Looking at photos from college makes me feel nostalgic and sad.
Oh, how I cried the night before I moved out. The night it finally hit me that I was leaving forever and would never come back.
“Everything’s going to change, Joy. You’re moving out tomorrow and we’re never coming back here.”
We sat on the floor of my empty bedroom and he held me as I sobbed.

“Oh, Will,’ she said, ‘What can we do? Whatever can we do? I want to live with you forever. I want to kiss you and lie down with you and wake up with you every day of my life till I die, years and years and years away.

SAG-AFTRA merger
so excited that I might not need to pay SAG dues because I’ll be grandfathered in as an AFTRA member! WOO. (Unless I book a SAG national in between now and then. In which case I will NOT be sad if I have to pay because heck, I’ll take a booking.
So, I guess I'm a Vimeo Plus member now.
So much money, all these subscriptions. They all add up so fast. Man, I hope those commercials start pulling through.

I’m not segregating from you. But sometimes, I want to be around people who I can relax around.
Sometimes I want to be around people who will not oppress me, be it by accident, or on purpose.
Sometimes, I want to be around people who understand, fully, 100%, what I’m going through, because they go through it too.

Let Me Make Sure I Understand This
racismschool:
When PoC learn white history, it is OUR history. When it’s time to learn Black History, it’s just for black people?
No, I need to say this again real slow…
White history is my history and your history. Black history is my history but NOT your history?
Nooooooooooooooo…of course I don’t think you’re a racist.
Real quick though, if a “White History Month” was officially declared,...
Also,
I just signed up for Casting About. SO USEFUL!
Pilot season! [fingers crossed]
One more also. I have my first audition for a procedural drama tomorrow. Gulp.
To write tomorrow:
A girl who rushes to her local off-brand Albertson’s at 4pm for fresh baked bread, only to find out there is none. I think the other character is the sales associate. And he’s a poet.

I love How I Met Your Mother, but this comparison is really interesting. It’s essentially Friends for the current Generation.
Pretty interesting, no?

microaggressions:
In gym class, we we arbitrarily split into teams for flag football, but divided so that there were even numbers of girls on each team. Our teacher explained to us that any touchdown in which a girl was involved would receive double points. This was in a middle class suburban high school.
Well, but I could see why the teacher made that policy. Because when I was in jr high,...
