it's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world

I hate it when i have a friend who is envious of "all the time off" i have. yes if I had a job lined up in a year from now and coudl travel, i'd be envious too, but I have a friend who recently said "i wish I had months and months off." so let me disabuse anyone of the notion that having off a ton of time with no end and no paycheck in sight is anything but glamorous. And let me tell you why... I do not have a family member or husband to swoop in and save the day to pay my $10,000 in medical bills and all my expenses, that must be nice! Here's how i live my life.

I have to steal toilet paper from businesses.
I have to steal $1 coupons from the coffee bean so I can afford my daily fix (only can go 4 times a week now since it adds up pretty fast)
I've had to cut up all my credit cards.
I have to bring a yogurt to my friends house during the acadmey awards party because I can't afford the pizza everyone else is ordering
I refill my gallon water bottles for 25 cents each at ralphs
I walk to church, coffee bean and the grocery store so to avoid using gas
i spend every waking hour coming up with ways to save money! it's exhausting.

my friend told me recently to do something and then i could deduct it for business expenses on my taxes i said to her "um deduct it from what? I've earned zero dollars, i believe you have to earn money in order to deduct it."

being a hollywood writer is not an easy life, so please no one at home try it!
