What!?

Let's begin with an introduction. My name is Nell. I'm new in town. I pulled into Los Angeles a little over a month ago. I'm an aspiring writer and former Chicagoan.
First reaction? Minor panic attack.
This was brought on by the fact that I had been thinking a lot about the difficulty of the move and not at all about life after the arrival.
Second reaction: why does everybody hate LA?
Where I come from people talk about hell and Los Angeles in similar tones. Chicago theater people have nothing but scorn for the exploits of their glittery, money-making, Angeleno counterparts. I had only been here once before -for a week -so I was surprised to discover that Los Angeles is actually pretty interesting. I even find it beautiful in an alien, Dr. Seuss kind of way.
I've now had some time to look around, settle in and get a little bored: time for further explorations. I need to find my own culture here in L.A. I figure that to do that I have to explore everything. I knew exactly four people out here when I moved. So I have a responsibility to myself -I have to try everything. I promised myself that I would keep accepting every invitation until I no longer had time for such things. After all -I'm in no position to turn down friends!
This is a place to relate the fruits of my explorations. I hope you find something useful, or interesting or humorous here.
In the end, this is all about adventure and exploration and the need to keep moving until we find something worth stopping for... like the laserium.
