  1. I’ve never been to LA and have to say, I’m not sure I will ever really seek it out as a destination. I’m not much into the whole celebrity/movie scene. I cannot imagine growing up there! I think my favorite part would be the delicious Mexican food!

  2. -Where you find yourself at the beach in December
    -When you have never had a white Christmas

    *Im from LA too and you are very spot on!

  3. Haha! So which celebrity went to your high school and which one are you friends with? Very interesting. Life is way different here in Toronto! Except for the traffic thing. Trust me, traffic is AWFUL here. I know traffic is horrible there but it is pretty awful here too.

    • Well…I actually had a few, America Ferrera from Ugly Betty, was in my drama class. Christopher Mintz-Plasse also know as McLovin from Superbad is really good friends with my brother, who also went to High School with us. I had Bob Dylan daughter in my drama class as well and also Shia LaBeouf as well. For the ones that I’m friends with for now I’ll keep a secret 😉 lol

    • haha that’s not her sister, it’s my old friend. I was invited to the Pre-Grammys party a few years back. I actually used to be friends with her a while back, also with Paris Hilton and a few more people, mainly back in the day.

  4. I was born in LA but moved away when I was a kid. However, we always seem to go back every few years and love going to my “secret spot” in Malibu. I keep meaning to do the touristy things like the Hollywood sign or the Walk of Fame, but in all my many trips, I still haven’t gotten around to them.

    • Yes! I love my secret Malibu spot as well, especially when I haven’t been to LA in a while. I was actually thinking not too long ago to do the same and take one of those tours, just for the hick of it!
