A Nerd's Life in #WeHo

It was Friday.

When people are partying all night in my part of town, they’re loud and it seems so innocent on a Friday night. Despite living in West Hollywood for over 6 months, there’s something incredibly sweet about it. Despite a lot of people having non-traditional jobs where Friday doesn’t necessarily mean Friday, it kind injects an odd measure of normalcy into the whole Sunset Boulevard mentality. Our local sport is watching women teeter down the hill in fuck-me pumps after the mandatory 2AM alcohol curfew goes into effect and everything shuts down.

Look! There are people getting shitty-drunk on a balcony next door at 11PM! My next door neighbor opens his sliding glass door and bellows at them, “people are trying to sleep! You are too loud for me!”, despite the fact that we live, um, here, and isn’t fighting fire with fire really clever? He is so clever. We had a stare-off in the parking garage recently over my disdain for his tail-gating ways. He starts shouting about their lack of courtesy, I’m outside too, and the people from the building next door spot me and ask if I think they’re being too loud.

I tell them “turn it up to 11″ because I’m immature and having a really good day.

They did. The dude next door seriously lost his shit, it was gorgeous. I think Burbank would be suitable for him, maybe Tarzana. What the hell did he expect to find here?

I’ve been reading Medea Sin for years. I wrote a piece earlier about the dark art of being good at doing something that isn’t looked upon as honorable or kind , and at Medea Sin, you’ll read about how Scott married his demons and angels. He’s still working on making that marriage stick, the man works at it hard. He’s a man, a doctor, a husband, a father, a self-proclaimed half-Corean and a whole lot more. I wish he could draw on prescription pads and show at a gallery so badly. He is an amazing reminder that we have to incorporate a lot of little pieces into a whole being, and those pieces don’t always fit together nicely. His life is addicting, but seeing as he’s a doctor, he’d know how addiction works. I see what you did there, Scott. I need a refill on my ‘script, man, and I’m going to get all of these people hooked while I’m at it.

Basically, if you’ve ever wanted to see life through the eyes of someone who is outwardly very different than you are, but your fundamental organs, desires and needs aren’t so different, that kindred spirit sensation kicks in, and the exotic does become erotic. I wish we could see this all across the world. I love reading blogs for this reason. I find more transparency with veteran blog-kind. Warts and all. I find it inspiring.

Kristin will be joining DefyAuthority very shortly. I can’t wait to have her. I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want to say her words for her. I will state that I think she is something else. I love how she chooses to rebel against the conformity of rebellion. You’ll see what I mean.

Time to nap and then get some more writing done. Get yourself an appointment with the good doctor, and I don’t mean Doctor Who.

Signing off,
Lauren
