keep calm, be sassy

don't worry about it, babes. i had the best time on the trip - spent most of it sleeping, honestly. did you have fun? who was your roomie?

i think that definitely makes you smart. nothing lazy about finding a system that works for you. it does kind of blow, but at least the lesson is learned for next time. always make sure to bring a battery pack with me. i had a blast. spent some time with some really amazing people. @cami--morrone

Well I'm not really a hookup kind of guy because I'm a romantic and its hard for me to not catch some type of feelings for anyone I have taken to bed and that is what ends up being bad so I prefer to just not do that and try and focus on finding someone that I take on dates and fall in love again. Trust me, I had a lot of fun in Ireland and sort of also met someone that fits criteria I didn't even realize I had.

That's what the people wanted? I didn't know we were sharing backstage secrets until I saw the spit take video you posted. I'm gonna have to go back through the archives to get some of my own. It's been pretty solid on our end, don't you think? I'm calling up Aldis to let him know we need to go out for a celebratory cocktail hour. / @cami--morrone

yes, of course it is, people LOVE backstage secrets, it makes them feel like they're part of things. you should, then watch the positive feedback unfold. it makes people think about how relatable you are. did you say cocktails? im always all in for those.

that's a smart idea. i can't believe i've never thought of that before. i'm happy to report that i didn't miss a single thing this time around. my trip back to australia from LA on the other hand? i left everything. luckily i had everything i needed once i got home, but once my phone died halfway through my flight i was left with nothing to do but listen to the snoring of my row mate. how did ireland treat you, gorgeous? @cami--morrone

ill be honest, i don't know if that idea makes me smart, or just lazy, because i really hate packing. look at that, you're making progress then, that counts for something! talk about the longest flight ever to have a dead phone. it was a good time. how about you? did you enjoy yourself?

My bad decisions usually end up with me in bed with a stranger, one that I don't remember inviting back to my room and I need to stay focused while I'm filming. I can always take my vacation and make bad decisions after I'm done with that, if I'm still wanting one of course. This breakup has really taken me for a spin and I really don't like this feeling so perhaps I do need to be mentally prepared. You know I will always watch maramalade for you.

what part of that decision is bad though!? there's nothing wrong with a little fun that can also be a distraction. maybe you're too stuck in your own head, which tends to happen after breakups. good. watch and then let me know what you think. as long as you think it's amazing. did you enjoy the trip?

the maldives? bitch, i'm jealous. i know i just came back from hawaii not too long ago but i already miss suntanning on the beach with a cold drink in my hand. how about we meet up in ireland? i'm rooming with sam so you're more than welcome to come visit us whenever.

as usual, time got away from me. you know i'm not usually this much of a flake! did you have fun on the trip?

It seems like ages since I was last away from home and it wasn't for work. I know I could tell my friends that and they would say I was in Australia a while back. Yes, I was. But I was working while I was there. To actually have some time away and not be working at all, this is the first time in ages. Now I am in Ireland, I don't even know where to start. Anyone want to join me for an adventure? Just realized how that sounded. Sorry, no TARDIS this time. I'm Jodie, by the way.

traveling for work is a privilege for sure but it definitely isn't the same as when you can be somewhere and have enough down time to enjoy it. what kind of adventure are you thinking?

i have come to the conclusion that i am a terrible traveler. you would think that someone who spends most of her life traveling from place to place would have mastered the art of packing for a holiday, but here i am on the struggle bus of life as i do my best to pack for ireland without missing anything. i'm not a betting gal, but if i was i would bet that even though i'm packing almost five days early that i'll still miss something. does anyone else struggle when packing for a holiday? please tell me i'm not the only one who's terrible at it. @hfrpstarters

packing can be a daunting task. this is why you should keep a suitcase packed with the essentials that you can grab and go when you need to without having to think about it so hard! thats a jet setter secret. but now the burning question.....did you forget something?

it was. i'm a little upset that it's over now. i won't lie and say the idea of running away with you and never turning back was heavy on my mind. @cami--morrone

why is it that time on vacation seems to go at least three times as fast as normal time at home? is there any scientific research on that? that would have been nice. just live in a hut on the water. im down.

I think so too. Ou, two of my favourite things. I agree; if those two things don't bring people in I will be shocked. Just got back to filming season two of Outer Range. So back to ranch living and pretend bull riding. But I have a few more projects I will be also going to work on which i'm super pumped about.

so far so good, it seems, so im not going to jinx it, it's in the hands of the universe now. ranch living sounds like it could be fun, do you enjoy it?
