  • lol luvs it!

  • I told you Come to Canada the CDN$ is Good lots of work and great beaches.

    yyes T.O

  • hmm up the creek - thats a new one :] Haha :]]]

  • you look like you were crying, im sorry, but you look very fun!

  • so?

  • How did this work out for you? Same thing is happening with my building - only they're demolishing it and rebuilding condos.

  • I heard Los Angeles was getting insane with the rent. I live in New York where there is absolutely no doubt the rents are insane. Maybe you should just slum it. Good luck with your search!

  • lol you sound like you live in my apartment complex. I live in LA too... They've been doing some remodeling and now they've hiked up the rent.

  • I wish I can give you all of my energy in my body so you can be energized. =)

  • Hey! Lucy, move to New York; beatiful beaches,subways everywhere to and from,give it a try and hey,there is the TriBeca Studio owned by Robert Dinero.

  • i loved the improv at the end(up the creek), anyway have you thought of finding a differnt Job that pays more. But for all i know this video could just be a story someone sent you and i thought that when you broke down laughing at up the creek, you good lucy at your passion. P.s. A great flick is luck number sleven, you've seen it thought i bet

  • i cant stop watching this girl talk. she's HOT.

    HEY LUCY WANNA MARRY ME

  • I feel your pain darlin...

    I guess we all go through it, see ya round

  • Hey, you'll find a way to make it work. I was just there over the memorial weekend and the rent signs I saw were indeed outrageous! I'm kind of in the same boat living on my own in SF, but you'll find a way to make it work. Don't give up :)

  • that sucks.

  • stoner girl

  • So this is what beautiful, well-adjusted, healthy people complain about until they eventually become wealthy. I know what up the creek means. LOL. It aint so pretty when your only friend is the face on a nugget of dookie.

  • you can move in with me ;) free rent as long as u help out with house chores!

  • Lucy i keep telling come to England U.K

  • LOL, funny. Your up a creek, without a paddle.

  • Lucy haven't seen you online for a while , hope you are alright. Or are you working on the lawyer idea i gave you :o).

  • there are tens of thousands of apartments in the la area. YOU ONLY NEED ONE> craigslist & sublet. When I lived in NYC and couldn't afford to commit to a lease ,I just kept subletting in areas I liked. Don't getted bummed, don't get attached to your place and keep subletting; you make more friends and know more neighborhoods!

  • Well, if that's happening, then it must mean that you're supposed to be somewhere else to meet someone or be somewhere that you normally wouldn't have been...I just found your adorable videos and can relate with my own years of struggles in LA/Nashville/Atlanta and now New York...whew! Negative people are in the world so that we can prove to ourselves that we have the strength to take the high road. They are tests and nothing more. Thanx!

  • I hate this. It happened to me here in the Oc!

  • penis.

  • moan,moan,moan.

  • What about your Camera man..Move in with him

  • haha

    hey lucy why dont you stay w/ ur friend careem h/e u spell it, for a few days till you find what your looking for?? hasn't he offered his place to you??i sure would if i were your friend

  • LOL H AHA UR PUTTING HIM ON THE SPOT

  • haha maybe maybe...

    but truthfully i really wish to see lucy act!!

    i havent seen a single lick of talent!!! i want to see something something, just a little to make me believe, even if its little, then i will believe

  • But will you get your security back w/all that blood on the floor?

  • I hear ya on that. I'm moving to a new place this weekend and it's been an uphill battle. I love L.A., but living here can be a bitch sometimes!

    Carry on and keep kicking butt. You rock, Lucy! :)

  • Craigslist. And Westside Rentals. You can find some crazy deals on there. I work for an apartment company and that's where I always refer people if they can't afford our prices.

  • oh I think gays need something else in life than money, namely - a handsome penis...if you know what I mean, that is if you can decipher my point.

    ps. I'm slightly drunk right now so if I happen to say something obscene, let Little Luccia feel free to call me about it. And I shalt be one smooth talkaa day & night 'on my knees scoring points for the afterlife'

  • Move to the valley

  • Hey,

    my first comment ever on utube.

    One of the things I like about this type of social software is the power of unpretentiousness. You make little (if any) effort to edit your stuff and that is incredibly refreshing - shows a real person behind the facade of LUCYinLA.

    Cheers!

  • "Up the Creek" - I think what you were trying to refer to was Farley's Motivational Speaker "Living in a van DOWN BY THE RIVER!!"

    Of course that's what you meant....

    (-J.)™

  • Hey, Lucy

    Good Luck... we are rooting for you. It is so heart warming to see you going for your dreams. keep the faith, You'll find something.

  • Move to Santa Monica.

  • Just go back to Austin...that's your best call.Dont waste yr time in LA

  • LA sucks. Move to NY!

  • Greedy jerks who own these places...

  • Lucy I totally understand ... but, don't give up.

  • It's not that big of a deal.

  • lucy, why do you think your fans would like watching this clip?

  • Aw, I wish you the best of luck in finding a new place in LA!

  • Life is tough, and fucking expensive. Before we are born, they should let us choose ' Are you sure you want this life...it's pretty expensive at the current rate ? ' . AnnieinAustin....? Naaaaaah.

  • Lucy (Laura) has been taking too many antihistamines/decongestants for that cold, and it's getting her wired.

    Sit back; settle down; the new apartment will work itself out.

  • I don't get it - why complain about the cost of living if you are not willing to make the most modest compromise of finding a roommate?

  • That's because L.A. sucks. You should go back to Texas and make something of yourself there. Like I said before, you are better than the Hollywood crowd...

  • I'd hate to see you leave California, you're part of what makes this state so unique! This video was adorable, albeit sad. Craigslist, roommates if you can hack it, or live farther north slightly outside of the city. I'm sure you've thought about all of it but I thought I'd try to help you out anyway. Good luck!

  • come and live with me baby!

  • bugger oof she's mine!

  • LucyinAustin? no way!

  • Well.... there are other places to live in LA besides the West side (I assume that is where you are now). Studio City is nice. So is anything around Burbank. Of course if you want to be two-minutes away from the action I guess that is important too. Good luck with your search!

  • live in kerims house! (however u spell his name)

  • Life throws lemons at you make lemonade...

    You'll get through it....

  • It sucks you don't have family out there to depend on. A friend of mine moved to El Segundo last year where she's been staying with her grandfather while looking for work in L.A. Though I get the feeling she too might want an apartment at some point.

  • hang in there, i hope you find something. the lack of affordable housing is something that should be addressed by our government...oh wait, they need billions to fight a war and rebuild somewhere else. nevermind. good luck!

  • I suppose, dredmunkey, you dont study urban planning or government much? There are vast controls in place to create affordable housing. Not just project tenements but requiring 10-20% of apartments in a complex to be at special rates.

    Thoughtful political commentary is great. Knee-jerk liberalism hurts true liberals.

  • laughtasticx, not sure where you call home, but in the twin cities there are studies that show upwards of 46% of metro households are considered cost-burdened.

    before you want to throw labels around like "knee jerk" you should know who you are talking to.

  • Geez, housing prices in LA sound pretty steep. I don't think it means you have to move back to Austin, but you won't be as ideally located as you are right now. Good luck! Look into the Paypal and cafepress options. They seem good to me. I'll even help you design a couple of tees just to get you started.

  • There is NO affordable housing for someone with a full-time minimum wage job ANYWHERE in the country.

  • you need a roommate.

  • Hmm, UP the creek with no paddle doesn't sound so bad. DOWN the creek on the other hand is a bit more of a problem. So what gives with the saying?

  • Move to Burbank - it's safe, barely any traffic and affordable.

  • LIVE WITH US FOR FREE!!!

  • I wi let you live here for free!!!:)

  • I know it's tough, and I hope you find somewhere wonderful that you can afford very soon. Best of luck!

  • refrigerator boxes are cheap!

  • 1 Focus on what you want re your new appartment, literally design it, picture it, write it all down in detail like you alreasdy have it. visit neighbourhoods (sic) that you like, Talk to people, put it out there... I mean.. you found the one you're already in, didn't you?

    2 "Up the creek..." is the short way of saying "Up the creek without a paddle" so it means you're in a predicament!

  • Let me see if I can find a girl to live with you

    for 500.00 a month.

  • This could be your chance to come to New York.I live

    in Queens just a few subway stops from Manhattan.There

    are also some TV studios nearby.For a woman of your

    talents NY would be great!!! It would be worth it

    for you to live here for a while at least.Cheers

  • Favorited 6 times.

  • Yeah, apartment hunting stinks. I've gotta do it now myself, but not in LA thank God. BTW, you are NOT fat. No reasonable would think so. I expect that you'll find a suitable apartment and that I will see you on the Tonight Show sometime.

  • Too bad you have to move. Greedy landlords are getting to be an epidemic! Is what they are doing legal? Maybe that's worth checking into. In any case, I hope things work out and you can stay because it seems like you really don't want to go back to Texas. Best of luck and keep trying.

  • :o) the line actually goes, "up shit creek without a paddle"...basically it means you're screwed...i hope you find a place!

  • MOVE BACK TO AUSTIN.

  • I moved twice while in LA. Try online: westsiderentals

    $60 bucks is worth the investment.

  • I can't believe that they can just kick you out like that! it's one thing if they ask you to leave temporarily, but to move for months and then pay "hundreds" of dollars to get a new lease, that's ridiculous. a lot of people in L.A. have roomates...i know it's a lot of work but just interview some and use process of elimination to figure out which one you want to live with...

  • You should check and see if what the apt. is doing is legal

  • it means you're from Texas. ;)

  • Why don't you get a REAL job so you can afford a new place?

  • That's a whole 'nother level man!

    ----Mind of Mencia TV commercial.

  • Yeah, I'd bang her.

  • Definitely too much energy has to be spent on the maintenance of life, apartment hunting, grocery shopping, taking out the garbage etc., rather than life. At least that is how it is for moi.

  • OMG...what will become of self-indulged bitch!!! She wanted to let the whole world know that shes having a problem finding a home while she has 2 months? OMG the pain of someone who moved to LA to become rich. Your pain must be unbelievable!!! I see people everyday who die from malnutrition.. Your a maggot!!!!

  • OK. I see this all over the place...

    "Your" is a possessive pronoun

    "You're" is a contraction of you are.

  • Not everyone pursues their dreams to become rich. Instead of whining about the malnutrition you see around, why don't you get off your fat ass and help the ones suffering instead of sitting around on your computer?

  • So where did you get that I am fat from my comment? And believe me I wish I had time to sit around on my computer all day, my life is far from what you made it out to be in your mind. I just think its rediculous to see how people think they are so important, when they are one in a 6 billion.

  • why don't you move in with the camera man temporarily.. LOL

  • Good luck.

  • Don't give up so quickly. L.A. protects children and fools (ok, i made that up ,) But I really would like to see some "Searching for a Roomie" videos. They surely will be hilarious! "Er...yes...this is my Gecko Stewart. Don't look him in eyes! He don't like that!"

  • happy hour..? werent u on happy hour? lol i dunno.. random ;]

  • I think it's "up the river." I don't know what up the river means but I think it's something bad. Keep posting videos Lucy. :)

  • Good luck, that's all i can say

  • I say "up the creek" all the time! Didn't think it was so weird when you said it, but when you started laughing you made me laugh too! Moving sucks! I live in LA also, and the rent is outrageous here! You are paying for the honor of living in "L.A." Know what I mean? Good luck, Lucy!

  • Freud would say u actually wanted to say:" up the crack"- but naturally u don't wanna say that & since that makes no sense anyway, brain instinctively goes for its closest

    phonetic association & it quickly does it so to make it appear that what u r saying is more essential than it actually is ;)

    Gee, I'm bored to be right...

  • i hope everything works out for you lucy, i rly do. and if anything im sure everything will happen for its best and everything will end up working out, i wish u the best. you seem like a great person. xox mitch-

  • Up the creek is a reference to my War Canoe on BGG :D

  • you could always live in a VAN down by the RIVER

  • don't worry .... every thing gonna be alright

    take care

  • what's your email address again? i have a solution.

  • Definition: "up the creek without a paddle" (idiomatic) in a difficult situation with no means of rectifying it.

  • Send Lucy Money!!!

  • hey at least you ahve an apartment. I'm living on campus at university (in the library itself) - i pay no rent and the location is fantastic!

  • Lucy don't give up.seriously you will find some where.

  • Damn Lucy I know where your coming from. I'm paying 1045.00 per month for a one bedroom in Downey (about 15 miles SE from downtown LA). When I was living in Atlanta, Georgia I was only paying 515.00 per month lol.

  • yeah, that sounds like me in Austin!

  • I was going to say, with all your fans, you should setup a website with a pay pal link donation box and have everyone donate a dollar or more to your cause, I know I would..

  • so would I---hell,even on regular basis!

  • With such an honest and passion filled person such as Lucy I would as well. Happy Friday guys!

  • lucy you need to get a roomate

  • you need a sugar daddy.

  • lol @ end

  • Hopefully someone watching knows of a place perfect for you.

  • Noooooow don't give up!

    Keep on searching and you'll find a decent good apartment!

  • Maybe its a sign?

  • Is this you acting....or is this for real....hhm

  • Your ability to tell stories is incredible!!!Even when

    the news is not good you can capture and audience and

    have them spellbound!!!

  • two words: Westside Rentals!

  • Sounds like Austin is looking better and better! I don't do the room mate thing either. I've got a house that's an anchor around my neck but the thought of getting a boarder isn't so appealing!

  • The lighting in this video is gorgeous.The color

    of your eyes stands out and they have a great sparkle.

    Adorable as usual.

  • I heard the boring dispatcher was looking for room mates a while back

  • Do not post personal problems please. I thought this vlog is only for entertainment not to sort out ur issues "internationally".

  • This part of her story -- all of her YouTube friends (except you) are interested and want her to know we are concerned,

  • lol! the saying is "up the creek without a paddle!" which means you have no control over the situation. the other saying is "you're up shit creek in a chicken wire canoe." the ending cracked me up!!!

  • quit throwing your money away, invest in a house.

  • i bet your friends could help you out on this one.

  • holy crap your from Austin!! awsome.

  • Try Northridge/Reseda?

  • Even the cops go insane within 18 months of being in LA.

  • It's stupid that they want to remodel the building, but make you pay more if you want to move back in. I bet if you had a long time left on your lease, they'd probably try to find some way to get rid of you too! They just want the extra money.

    The remodeling probably consists of a paint job.....

    Hopefully you find something good soon. I'm sure the roommate idea is an option, but you really don't want to find yourself living with a nut! Good luck!

  • Someplace safe in LA? Why I had AK-47's going off every 2 hours 24-7 on my block by the drive-by shooters for months on end. Just gotta invest in bullet-proof vests and never invite anyone over lest they get shot pulling into your parking lot. Safe in LA, bah humbug. Rents were $600 a month + electric in my area too, real nice neighborhood...er ghetto named Harlem.

  • Or you should be able to rent a nice room in a house in Brentwood or BH. Don't be shy; with your looks and personality I am sure you will find a landlord very happy to make you a tenant.

  • Go over to UCLA and check their boards for a roommate if you really have on friends who you can live with. That is how I found my place in W. LA and it took only a few hours.

  • Well Lucy....wish I could help you here more. But know that you're in my thoughts, and I hope everything goes well for you. And hey, even if you do have to go back to Austin, keep on acting.

    I went to Austin (My older brother lives there) for the first time in February and loved the city!

    Good luck with apartment searches, and hang in there darling.

  • they shouldn't do this! they should consult their tenants first. go to court for this!

  • LUCYinAustin?

    I think you, Ian and the dispatcher should all get a place together.

  • i like the lighting in this one. it's different from your others, but it flatters you.

  • i don't know why u want to stay in LA anyway. To make it as an actress you do not have to live there!

  • I'm in the middle of movie too (due to a poor roommate) and I'm stressed too, so I feel you!! Good luck with everything. I've had to break my budget a bit, but I'd rather do that than have a roommate screw me over again. I hope you don't have to leave CA!

  • Lolll, when you laughed at yourself! You're adorable, Lucy. <3 Seriously though, you don't have to move all the way back to Texas. You can try to find something near your current area that's affordable and safe a little ways away. I think you should look around a little more. Just broaden your search a little.

    I hope something works for you.

  • with no paddle...you forgot to say that

  • you can work on stage in local company in austin. like mom said.

  • Laura, get a roommate! Are you going to ditch your dream because you don't want to get a roommate? Check out some perimeter areas...Pasadena, Sierra Madre, places that are not in the core of L.A., but if you can do a little windshield time you can save on some rent....

  • i never can understand how anyone less then superstar/celebrity can afford to live in cali. no offense of course. it's just sooo expensive.

  • Yeah my landlord's bein mean. I have to move too in a couple of weeks. I was supposed to be out by last month already.

  • NOT AUSTIN TEXAS!!!

  • Hi Lucy,on Wed May 16th at 7:00 PM New York time

    about 15-20 people will be praying for you .That's

    4:00PM LA time.Read psalm 23 at that time that way

    we'll be syncronized.May the Lord bless you and

    keep you and cause his countenance to shine upon you.

  • wow! thanks!

  • It rained very heavily on May 16 so I could not make it to

    Church.However I'm sure they prayed for me and I pray for

    you everyday at 7:00pm NY time.Cheers

  • go to craigslist.. lol i hope u find an napartment. ur gonna be ok! Good Luck!

  • If u do go back to Austin then you should just think "hey i got a valuable experience from all this and it was cool for a few years, but when u have to call it quits u have to call it quits. Either that or getting lucky and suddenly get the leading role in some dumb hollywood film and making it big, but hey u never know.

  • Perfect idea, you are theboringdispatcher could become roomies.

  • Screw LA...move to Vancouver BC, if you can get past immigration, that is. ^_^

  • have faith...isn't this what this whole vlog's about?

  • Good luck finding an apartment. Just make sure you clean up the blood stains on the carpet before you leave...or you'll have some explaining to do.

  • Become a real estate Tycoon,make lots of money

    and then finance your own film.Farfetched?Maybe not.

    Stay positive love.Cheers

  • You can make money making commercials for real estate

    companies.With that charm people would really buy

    a lot of houses.Cheers

  • up the creek lol you mean up the creek without a paddle but seriously Lucy you will find another appartment good luck & best wishes

  • Stay calm everything will turn out allright.Cheers

  • COME BACK TO AUSTIN! Austin is the new L.A. That is where the movies are being made, well and Louisiana.

  • up shit creek without a paddle.. means u stuck in a load of shit with no way out

  • You can find some great deals here: losangeles(DOT)craigslist(DOT)­org/apa/ Good luck!

  • I just started to watch you and I'm sorry to hear you are going through that. You have confirmed that LA is expensive...NY is too (all of it...not just the city).

  • up the creek = up shit creek without a paddle?

  • Talk to a lawyer. About the creek thing, it's a nice way of saying "Up shit creek without a paddle"

  • Do not move-in with me! Carmen would get upset! And so would Elizabeth and Rachel!

  • How about renting a room from somebody? Not as desirable as having your own apartment, I know, but it's an option.

  • So how're you able to live in a nice apartment all by yourself working one job in the first place? lol.

    Move in with Karim, I guess.

    BTW, was that your apartment or Karim's apartment in the blog where you kill him?

    If it's yours then...WOW, I am extremely sorry you have to leave =(!

  • I don't live in an apt. by myself. But my current roommate can afford the additional rent, so she is staying.

  • Oh, I see! Then if you're friends with your roomate you should be really glad, because then the two of you can help each other out! My sis, Sara, lives near there and she said that the most important thing about living in southern cali is having CONTACTS. Lots and lots of CONTACTS.
