hello everyone, i’m holland. i’m not very good at introductions but i love it here already since i picked up some amazing food on the way to my new place. i believe it was blackbeard’s? i just walked in a hungry haze, honestly. smelled so good. i got some amazing cheese fries, a yummy salad, a delicious burger. just wow. i won’t lie, only had one cheese fry so far because i’m unpacking but…in love already.

Holland, hey! It’s been a minute, girl, how you doing? Blackbeard’s really do hit different, honestly. One of my go-to places when I’m too lazy to cook for myself. This food in this town really knows how to make a girl feel good.

During Christmas dinner, I told my children that Beyoncé was once the lead singer of Spice Girls. They believed me. How to return kids? I don’t know where I fucking left the receipt. I’m thinking about letting them believe this until they make a fool out themselves at school. It serves them right, dumb asses. You’d think after all those pranks I pulled on them that they wouldn’t believe me but they keep surprising me.

I was about to ask who the hell would mess with their kids like that, but... yeah, I think your kids are broken. Ain’t nobody coming into this world not knowing the difference between Beyoncé and the Spice Girls. Damn! Kids are super adaptable, which is something I learned the hard way from the many tiny children in my family. You gotta nail Bey into them real early, or you’re settin’ yourself up for disappointment.

Damn right. Otherwise, how would we be able to relate to people if we don’t have any terrible stories to tell? Do you? Maybe you should write them all down and get a book going! Especially with the holiday just around the corner, you could’ve published it and gotten some coin. Wow, already the second season?! I think we’re all pumped to watch the second season, too! Pretty much relaxing as of now! I have my mum coming to visit me for the next few days, but that’s about it. I don’t have much work going on until next year so I’m trying to enjoy it. 

Right. Nobody wants to hear a good story. They wanna hear a good story about somethin’ bad happening. I could publish so many books about so many damn things. I could write a book about how dogs should be politicians, then I could do one about how to mask the taste of vegetables for vegetarians that hate veggies... I got a lot of ideas, man! Oh, yeah. Euphoria got so much attention this year and I’m so proud of it, and now I can’t wait to get going again. Oh, yeah, I’m good ‘til after the holidays. Feels good to kick it back again.

Having other projects to do certainly keeps your mind off the impending doom that is realizing your long-time job is over. I’ve actually just finished a film I did alongside Tessa Thompson. It’s good to see you, too, Z! I’ve been quite alright. I haven’t gotten the chance to tell you that I finally watched Euphoria, and it was brilliant.

See? An end of an era always brings a new, kickass job with Tessa Thompson. A whole ass queen. Oh, hey, thanks so much! I’m so glad you like it. I gotta start filming season two pretty soon. I’m pumped. And I’m so thrilled that people are liking the show; I never thought it’d be this big.

I’m looking for advice. How do you cope with no longer playing a part you’ve been playing for four years? Our last episode aired at the end of September, yet I keep waiting for the call that another season has been picked up, even though our show was not cancelled. Seth decided it was time for the story to come to a close. I was thinking moving here would help with those mixed emotions, now I’m not so sure. My name is Ruth, by the way.

Trust me, sis, I know the feeling. I mean, after playing Rocky and K.C. it was like a whole ass grieving process for the longest time, but trust me, it gets easier. Especially when you realize, “hey, I’m moving on to bigger and better things!” And when you reflect on your time and just really appreciate it, it makes things a lot better. For now just hang in there. Good to see you, Ruth, how you been?

No no, you are totally cooler than I am, I promise. Though we both sing and dance, we could be a force of nature together. Pretty badass. Hahaha I love your way of thinking though, using your dog as an excuse to socialize? I can get on board with that. Yeah, pretty much, though Otis does do the occasional walk, Lucy is more of the type for that since she’s bigger and has more energy. Exactly!! If your dogs are not your children, who the hell are you!? 

Oh, sis, you have pipes. My guilty pleasure is literally any of the Victorious songs that you sing. When’s the album coming out, huh? We’re waiting. ...I can’t really say much though, ‘cause my fans have been waiting for an album from me forever and they’re gonna keep waiting. Oops. I respect Otis’ lifestyle. I vibe with that. It’s a sad life for people that don’t talk about their dogs like they’re children, ‘cause they are.

elizabeth-egan-gillies·:

Your tags are SENDING me right now, you are so much cooler than I am, Daya. Trust me. I do! I have two dogs, Otis and Lucy. Otis is more of a fan of curling up on the couch in front of the fireplace to hibernate, Lucy loves running around in the snow with me and hiking in the woods and such. I’m a huge fan of hiking no matter where I am. My dogs are my children and no one can tell me otherwise.

That’s debatable. Otis and Lucy! Right. Makin’ myself look like a damn fool over here. I hope I get to meet them someday. I’m tryna use my dog as an excuse to socialize, so... Oh, so you got the best of both worlds. I respect that. It’s a one way street for me an’ Noon, I’m afraid. We lazy. I don’t trust anyone that doesn’t consider their dogs to be their children. Like, what kinda psychopath...?

It completely blows my mind that Christmas is in two weeks; where has all the time gone? Just got home to Bayview from the Dynasty set and I’m pretty excited it’s snowing a bit; snow is my favorite, as is winter. Am I weird for loving the snow so much? It’s so magical to me, so beautiful when it’s just fallen and everything is calm and quiet, everything untouched. I never want anything to spoil the sparkling blanket of white.

Out the fuckin’ window, I’m guessing. It’s been a wild year, I know that much. Oh, yeah. My dog loves it far more than I do, I’ll admit. But his happiness makes me happy and that’s that. You got a dog, right? He a fan of the snow or is he the hibernating type?

The thing is that I’ve had smooth flights over the last few years. Haven’t really waited more than twenty minutes before takeoff or had to wait around for luggage before. Guess I was due for a ‘terrible’ flight. I should’ve used that excuse! Oh, well. I’ll do that the next time I have to get on a plane. That sounds incredible! A good way to end the year. 

Yeah, I’m just bein’ petty. Although I’ve had some pretty nasty layovers. Everyone’s gotta have at least one horrible plane experience, otherwise are you really living? I’m full of bullshit excuses. Just ask my dad. It really was! And we’ll be starting filming on season two of Euphoria soon, which I’m pumped for. What have you been up to?

I did something totally dumb and I’m going to go ahead and admit it. Smart people, who aren’t me, naturally buy Christmas trees with lights already on them - unless they get real trees, of course. Well, what does Lucy do? She buys a real tree, so that means she has to put on her own lights. That was an adventure and a half, I can tell you that. First, I wrapped it around the middle of the tree. Then, I undid them all and somehow - don’t ask me how, hours later I’m still not sure how I managed it - I was stuck in the strings of lights. All of this comes down to me saying this: HELP ME. I’m a clueless mess who just wants to get into the fetal position and cry my heart out. Also, hi! I’m Lucy if you don’t know me and if you do - please help your girl out. She’s about to abandon Christmas. I also talk in third person sometimes, don’t judge me.

Take it from the Queen of Laziness - synthetic trees are my way of life. I can’t be bothered to do more than I have to, to be honest. But I mean I guess it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if I had to, ‘cause I’m sort of a giraffe... That being said, if you need help to escape your Christmas lights trap, I might be able to help you out, but I can’t guarantee I’ll get there in time to save you from yourself.

The plan was to arrive at Bayview early in the morning and get acquainted with my neighbors, cruise the roads, do some unpacking. That was the plan. The airlines, however, had different plans for me. My flight was delayed for hours. Not a good feeling to wait in the airport for too long, I’ll tell you that. But it’s a new day, and better to start it off on a positive note. I slept off my headache and unboxed a few things. But tell me something wonderful that’s happened to you in the last few days or an exciting story. Anything to really motivate me.

I’ve kinda learned not to make plans, like, ever, ‘cause they never check out. Especially if I’m relying on airfare. Shit’s exhausting. The best part about allat though is I can sleep for two days straight and blame it on jet lag. I don’t do shit, but uh, I did get GQ’s Woman of the Year award recently, so that’s pretty dope.

I don’t know what to do. My little one’s turning one this month and I wanna throw her a party here, but I just moved here, so I dunno if that’s a good idea. Anyways, if you don’t know me, I’m Norman. Yes, I know I’m old to have a kid that young. Shut up.

People in this town love kids. I mean, I’d assume so, ‘cause there’s always someone who’s pregnant with someone’s baby. We’re a very family oriented town, don’t worry. I mean, I’d throw a party for my dog and I’m pretty certain everybody would show. ‘Cause if they didn’t, I’d be pissed. Nice to meet you, Norman. Name’s Zendaya. How’s the move goin’?

I gotta say that living in such a small town compared to Dallas is a lil odd at first but much easier to adjust to than I thought. The kiddos are loving it. I am a little lost on what to do though.What do y'all do to keep busy around here? Some kid friendly and adult friendly suggests are more than appreciated right now!

Trust me, I get you. I’m from Oakland, which isn’t that big a city when you think about it, but moving here was... an adjustment for sure. I’m really like, the laziest person you could meet. When I’m not working, I’m sleeping or walking my dog on the beach. Sometimes I chill out downtown though. The vibe there’s great. How’s the move going?

Right? I’m still amazed that he would even admit that given the amount of backlash and ridicule he received from everyone. If I were him I would have called back and explained myself more to justify my reasoning behind it. It was clear they needed to find an “idiot” to make fun of and he just happened to be lucky caller nine. Swearing in your sleep is definitely weird but something tells me is not uncommon. Um, as for me. I’m terrified of ferris wheels and all of my books, movies, and music have to be alphabetized but I’m not sure if that counts. 

He’s a brave soul, and I appreciate him for coming out about something so... incredible, I guess, is one way to put it. Nah, he’s unapologetically him, and I think that’s a beautiful thing, especially when it comes to being a lazy ass. The ferris wheel thing I totally get. Heights are spooky. And this is coming from a girl who literally had to learn trapeze, but I feel your pain. Can’t say I have enough patience for the alphabetizing thing though.

So I was listening to the radio the other day on my way home from work and I heard this story about weird quirks and habits that you have that you think are normal but when you tell others, they think you’re mental. And this guy that called in literally sleeps under the bed because he doesn’t want to make it up in the morning. I’m not sure that that can be called a quirk so much as laziness. So tell me Bayview, what weird quirks or habits do you have? 

Wow. I’m the laziest person I know, and even that’s impressive. Like, that’s next-level laziness, you know? I can’t even compare. I don’t know if I have any weird quirks. Like... I swear in my sleep, if that counts? Like, a lot. It’s awful. What about you? Got any weird quirks you’d like to share with the class?
