"WTF. Are you aging backwards?!"

A producer asked me that question. I feel like Benjamin Button.

Here are some more quotes from my L.A. trip:


"If you move back to L.A. I will kick your ass."

"Why do you look younger?" Studio executive.
"Because she moved out of this crazy ass city," Agent.

"You haven't aged at all."

"How is it possible you've lost weight eating pasta?"

"Are you dating?"

"Who are you dating?"

"Do you have a hot lover?"

"What's up with the sexy times?"

"I like your hair. You found a hairdresser in Rome who knows how to cut black hair?"

"Do you speak Italian?"

"Tell me what do you do everyday." (I heard that one a lot)

"Do you miss L.A.?"

"What do you eat?"

"Are you in love...what's his name?"

"How do Italian women wear high heels on cobble stone streets?"

"You're glowing."

"I hate you."

How DO Italian women wear heels on cobblestone streets?? I've always wondered...

By the way, you are my hero for having upped and moved to Rome to escape the insanity...I can only hope to one day be like you when I grow up.

I just came across your blog, and really enjoy your perspective on Rome, and just up and leaving the U.S. period.

I am looking to move to Italy after I graduate, hopefully in two years.

Ahahahahaha! This made me laugh out loud! Did our cousin ask the question about the sexy times? That sounds like something he would say!

See, you shouldn't move back!

Truly a testament to your decision to move from the rat race of LA/The US being the best for you.

You had better not move back!!!!

"If you move back to L.A. I will kick your ass."

My exact sentiments when I read your other post.

Take that with all the love and admiration a blog reader that's rooting for your success can muster:)

If those comments alone don't make you realize its best to stay the hell out of LA then I don't know what else will.

It looks like only one person wants you to move back to LA versus how many hundreds of people who don't?
Of course it's ultimately your decision what to do with your life but remember why you moved to Rome and away from LA in the first place.
