Small World

My short visit to San Diego is coming to an end today. It has been wonderful to lay out, blend in with California crowd and to hang ten on a surf board (potentially this afternoon - if I brave the Pacific Ocean). After this, it is back to reality and to really give a shot at this acting gig.

It is amazing to me how wherever someone is in the world, there is always someone that knows SOMEONE you know. For example, last week I was in the Apple store playing on an Ipad for about a half hour (I want) when one of the 'geniuses' asked me if I needed any help. Well I really did need help with a new Ipod but after a few minutes of talking and an awkward attempt to be my 'guide around Los Angeles', he mentioned an acting class he went to every Tuesday night. Well what do you know, my friend is in the same acting class as him and knows an extension of friends' of hers that I know as well.

I am in the most random Apple store in LA and the genius and myself have friends in common? This is so strange.

Besides all my friends that will be apparently VISITING ME (ahem...EHS girls...) their are a number of people that I have reconnected with down in LA that I haven't had the chance to see in years! It has been great catching up with them and remaking those old friendships.

On top of that I have had a number of friends or people who have reached out to me that are in LA and are from Toronto who do not know many people down here! The craziest connection so far is someone who goes to the same university as me (we have never met) and is in Beverly Hills for the summer as well (unbelievable). It has been so fun meeting these people and making those connections as well because at the end of the day, we can all help each other out ... and have a conversation with someone who won't interrupt you when you say 'eh', 'sorry' instead of 'sahrry', and our apparent 'aboot'.

Need to go even out my tan!
