Some days I'm really amazed that I've survived in LA this long.
Why?
Because so many people here are crazy.
Not straight jacket crazy.
More like "just not quite right" crazy.
Sure, people are all unique. Different. Everyone has their quirks.
And perhaps "normal" is boring.
I have "normal" relatives. They are all married, with regular jobs, kids or no kids but just normal, everyday folks.
Not in LA.
Almost everyone I know is weird, quirky, odd, "a bit off" or something like that.
Why is it is so hard to find a nice group of "normal" friends?
I don't mean I need a group of friends that are doctors, lawyers, dentists and accountants. On the contrary, I love that I have a diverse group of friends that work in every field from entertainment to accounting.
However, since I seem to meet the most people through the entertainment business, finding a group of normal friends can be challenging.
What I would give to make friends that aren't white trash, angry, have a horribly negative attitude about life, or what not.
You are the company you keep - isn't that what they say?
So is it me?
Or are there just slim pickings in LA these days?
After all, in a city where you need to plunk down a half a million dollars to buy a house way out in the valley, who can afford to live here? Only the super wealthy or the super insane. I guess I know more of the later than the former....

Hey! I resemble that remark!
I have never considered myself normal. But, for some reason I feel pretty normal here, in LA.
There are those that are a bit wackier than I. They are just here to make me feel more normal than I am.
This is where we come to be our true selves. No matter what that may be.
