Just arrived in LA - yay!  Ordered room service because I can and then I'm going shopping.  The most troublesome thought of the moment - should I rent a car?  Or cab?  Or public transit?  Life is so tense.  I also have a bruise on my foot.  Oh!  On the way down I sat next to a pilot
(they put staff in the exit row, because supposedly we won't panic (hah!))  and we both elaborately lied about our jobs as we're supposed to, until he cracked when I asked what furniture dealership he worked for.  I was a traveling midwife.  Midwifery! 

The other night I was at a Ignatieff fundraiser (it was fancy - I had to wear high, high heels and a dress you guys.  I spent an hour on my hair.  It was at the aquarium, which was the best idea ever) and two awkward things happened. 

1)  Mindi made the Worst Political Joke Ever.  So Ignatieff wrote the care and practice policy for the Red Cross, right?  And spent two years in Iraq covering the massacre of the Kurds?  So he's into global politics.  And the woman making the introductory speech made this joke:

So, apart from the genocide in Darfur, the worst massacre in recent history is of the Liberal defeats in Quebec.  Bodies everywhere!

Oh god, people.  It was so awkward.  Paige and I just stared at each other in horror and no one laughed - except for one very forced haha that sounded like an explosion going off.  It was literally painful.

2) Someone asked Ignatieff what three animals he would breed together to create the ultimate fighting animal.  Perfectly valid question, yes, but he was taking questions about his speech with dealt with foreign aid to third world nations and refugees. 

Food arrived!  You guys, there is the tinniest little glass bottle of coke ever.  I LOVE AMERICA.

When I did leave my room I got lost and wound up in Compton, where someone tried to sell me drugs and asked if I wanted to touch his gun. Literally.

When you're traveling with interline, you have to stay in the hotel room 3hrs after you check in so they can check to see if you really work for an airline. Therefore tiny bottles of coke.

No. I did not want to be trapped in an american style prison. I've seen that movie with Claire Danes. I don't want to die in jail..... besides, I have never done an illegal drug. Seriously. In my life. I am that girl.

Hi. Saw your comment on a community and thought I recognize the icon you used (http://userpic.livejournal.com/61909732/1430193) as one of mine that [livejournal.com profile] queennut_gfx stole from me. It's a long, dramatic story that I refuse to get back into. But I was hoping you could edit your credit for that icon. My original post for that batch is here: http://dev-earl.livejournal.com/22554.html#cutid1

Thanks.

What! Scandal! How awful for you - I went and had a look at the rest of your icons, they're fantastic, by the way - credit will be changed post haste.
