KJ: shit...you're good 😂

KJ: my sisters will tear you to shreds. and by tear you to shreds i mean they'll tear me to shreds when i bring home such a catch and then tell them you won't even give me the time of day. we should definitely make this happen. any excuse to piss off my sisters.

LANA: yep, told you. i'm on that next level shit, baby.

LANA: you never know, we might end up like andie and ben in how to lose a guy in 10 days. you take me home, i fall in love with your family, fall in love with you, we have sex in the shower, then we get into a massive fight because i found out you were using me, and then i write some magical article about you, and when i skip town, you run after me.

I have never been more  terrified to film something as much as I was to film a dancing sequence for Isn’t It Romantic. With being on a press tour for it for the past week, the one thing everyone has to talk about is that dance. I’ve probably watched that scene more times than I can count.  I’m glad everyone loved my very feminine dance moves. Is there anything you’ve been terrified to film and tried to talk your director out of it for weeks? Only to get a slap in the face and had to film it?

I’m so excited to watch your new film! Not gonna lie, the moment I saw the trailer for the movie, I was like... okay, I need to watch this. And oh my God, that sounds amazing. I mean, terrifying but amazing. I’m sure it turned out awesome, so don’t even stress. I think anything I did on X-Men was terrifying to me, since it was my first major acting role. If anything, I looked around set and usually thought that I shouldn’t even be there, among all that high caliber.

Does anyone else get quite upset when they go to eat somewhere for one specific thing and when you order it they tell you they’re all out? Food just makes me emotional, maybe I need a nap. 

Okay, me whenever I literally want a cronut. They’re always out! Like, are you kidding me?! How?! Every single time I want one. I just want to throw in the towel, call it quits and maybe kick a chair or something.

KJ: i dig it. quick. what am i thinking about right now?

KJ: oh ho ho but the thing is, you only know america/canada KJ. zealand KJ is a whoooole other thing. something happens when i get back to my roots. i get kinda animalistic 😂

KJ: oh dear god, i can't wait to see this.

LANA: about me in my tights, duh.

LANA: oh my god. i need to see this. i need to witness this. i want to meet the rest of the apa klan. make it happen!

I’d call that a gift honestly. Two coffees is like karma saying you needed extra caffeine. See, you aren’t as much of a mess as you thought! I call it an unplanned win.

A win, yes, but I don’t think my body could’ve handled three cups of coffee that early in the morning. I’m usually 90% caffeine once I have one cup – yep, that’s how tiny I am. I’ve accepted it.

Well you could always make a stranger smile and offer them your coffee. Or you could leave the coffee to the barrista and ask them to give it to the next person in need they see. That way you turn your mess up into a good deed.

That’s kinda what I did? I mean, I just turned around, asked if anyone wanted a free coffee and gave it to the first takers. This is what happens when I try to order through an app, instead of talking to a real person. Taught me a lesson.

gdilily: spoiler: me.

lanacndr: don't stress, @gdilily. i've done that like... a million times.

KJ: so we on that telepathic communication level now, huh? alright, LC, i dig it.

KJ: if you can, you definitely should. i'd kill to get home more often. you really think you could handle all this for an extended period of time in a foreign country?

KJ: we'll see about that, babe. we shall see. that kiwi booze really sneaks up on ya, just fyi.

LANA: oh, yeah, we're totally connected. we're on that kinda level, ya know.

LANA: i'll survive. plus, you're not THE WORST to be around, so i think i'll be okay?

KJ: "nah, kj, you look good! all the time in the gym is totally worth it!" i'll say what you were supposed to. if i ever need a ego deflation, i defs know who to hit up 😂

KJ: ...alright well i can't fight the mom card. how're the 'rents?

KJ: once i get enough drinks in you, i think you'll be singing all over the place.

LANA: you know you look good. you know i think you look good. i don't need to say it for you to know.

LANA: they're good. they miss me. tell me i should go home a lot more... which is true. also. question. when are you whisking me away to nz?

KJ: i mean...yeh? i dunno why, honestly. they see archie andrews with the 10 pack abs and i still see nerdy lil keneti from the island with the slicked down bowl cut and janky ass teeth 🤷‍♂️

KJ: i mean, you musta gotta a plus one? #offended

KJ: girl, please. knock it off with that. i'll sing to you when you sing to me. guitar tho? i'll do that for free. but tips are appreciated, obvis.

LANA: yeah, idgi. you're still lame lil keneti to me. 😁

LANA: yeah, my mom, duh!

KJ: a refreshing change of pace

KJ: so fucking badass. my invite to the premiere musta gotten lost in the mail, eh?

KJ: fuck no, i'm on strings. no one wants to hear me wail into a mic 😂😂😂

LANA: i know you're probably used to girls throwing themselves at you. sorry to disappoint.

LANA: sorry, but it was a strict... well. everyone's invitation got lost in the mail. 🤷🏻‍♀️

KJ: a lukewarm display of affection, how lucky am i? 😂

KJ: damn, condor. level expert at taking a guy down a peg.

KJ: that show of yours is legit tho. i'm into it. what's alita? sounds badass. not much with me, just doing the archie thing. playing a few shows here and there with the boyos. life is pretty good. better now that you and i have rediscovered our friendship 😚

LANA: lukewarm is how i roll. i never come in hot. 😁

LANA: i've had some practice. 😂

LANA: alita: battle angel. some legit stuff. it's a sci-fi, and i am hella excited for you and everyone else to get on it.

KJ: 😇

KJ: chur, totally. sorry. so inappropriate.

KJ: in my dreams is right, girl.

KJ: but on the real, what's going on with you? it's been a hot minute, mate.

LANA: you're lucky i kinda like you.

LANA: i know, i know. you're always dreaming of me, but that's the only place you and i will ever be. 😏

LANA: busy, busy, busy.

KJ: i can guarantee you, anything i'm thinking up is probably way dirtier.

KJ: hey. you can't fault a guy for being honest.

LANA: keep it in your pants, keneti.

LANA: this is a pg-rated club, okay?

KJ: i need to hear these 'other ways' you speak of. spill your secrets, girl.

KJ: is this just an excuse for me to see you in tight ass leggings? maybe.

LANA: yeah, right. you'll know if i ever use these ways on you.

KJ: damn, what a baller.

KJ: you're feisty. i dig it. we should box sometime.

KJ: wanna get in the ring?

LANA: like, if i wanted to get with someone at 2am, i'm not texting 'u up???' because i'm classy. i've got other ways.

LANA: the ring? alright, i see you. 👀

KJ: i'm just saying...texts work both ways.

KJ: wow, spunk much? so aggressive, lans.

KJ: mm and what would you like me to do with that info, hmm?

LANA: yeah, but I've never been the type to text first?? oops?

LANA: it's my best quality, you love it. 😘
