New Phone & Apartment Hunting

So I finally got a new phone! My BB Pearl had been going crazy on me. I couldn't end calls and it would randomly turn off. After ComiCon I decided I had to get a new phone. I went with the BB Curve 8900 of course, since I had owned it for a couple of days when I lost my Pearl. It's such an awesome phone, I love the Blackberry OS, and the Curve just makes it even better! The screen is a good size, and I can watch videos!!

I've only had for about 4 days and I'm loving it. I'm sure there's still a lot more I can do with the phone, I just have to keep playing with it. I'm also addicted to BBM! It's so much better than texting. I also got a car charger and a case, so I don't have to drag around a charger and hopefully I won't be scratching it by dropping it with the cases I have. I'm hoping to keep this phone in good condition for a while!

Even the apps on the Curve are improved from the Pearl. I'm very impressed, bravo I say to Blackberry!! Here's a pic I took with my Curve:



Very colorful! (That's my Dad's office. He's been collecting toys from BK and McDonald's forever....)



Next order of business: Moving.

It's definitely time for me to move. I live at home with my family and it's starting to drive me crazy. Not necessarily my family themselves are driving me crazy, more of the fact that I don't have my own space. I'm sharing a room with two younger brothers. I'm dying for space! It's also hard to function as an independent adult when you live with your parents. My parents have never been the strict type though, I've never had a curfew or anything, and they're cool for the most part.

The only thing that is keeping me under their roof is the ridiculous cost of living in Los Angeles! IThe only thing keeping me in LA is the fact that I'm working on an acting career. If it weren't for that, I would have moved away from here long a go. But being an actress also means I can't have a career that pays well, which means I can't afford the ridiculous prices to live here! It's all a huge mess and it's stupid.

Unfortunately, at 18 I went credit card crazy, so I also don't know if I have the credit to move out. Blech. I'm tired of looking for a place to lvie and figuring out who to live wiht. My 23 year old brother wants to move out too, so were gonna find a place, but we can't seem to agree on price or location. I'm getting ver antsy and very frustrated. I'm ready to start my own adult life!! But I feel so trapped living here. Grrr. I don't know what to do!!

Intro

My name is Genellyn. Gen, Nelly, Nellyn, G; I go by them all!

Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, I am currently pursuing an acting career! I'm gonna post little bits of me and my road to stardom! There will be laughter, there will be tears, it's just gonna be a good time in general.

Here's a summary of me:

I homeschooled from first grade through high school (Ask me about it if you like!). I went on to college where I majored in International Business. I decided when I was quite young that acting was where I wanted to be. After graduating I took some "for now" jobs, but they all fell through, so I finally decided to put all of my energy into my dream and one true love of acting. It's a tough business! You get lazy when you actually live in LA, because you don't have to struggle as much as those who come out here with a buck and a dream. So now I'm buckling down and saying "Let's do this!"


I've never been in love, barely had a BF (that's a whole 'nother story as well). And I seem to attract the strangest and/or oldest guys in the world! I have plenty of crazy guy stories. They'll probably be spoken of in the future!

I'm also a writer. I haven't been published yet, but I'm working on it!
