The slut you don’t take to dinner…

Remember her? Or him? That person who would come over at 11 and screw your brains out and then leave. Different than a booty call because she thought that if she hung in long enough, you’d finally see how cool she really was. You’d realize that just because she was available and nice to you… because she actually liked you and thought you were a good guy… it didn’t mean she was less than some idealized girlfriend you had in your head. She was actually one of your most successful relationships, but you never thought about it that way because you were waiting for something *shinier* or something. You thought that it was important that you won a girl over… If a girl was available and ready to hang out, there was something wrong with her.. or she wasn’t impressive or something. 

Showbiz is like that. 

The people you know and are friends with aren’t good enough to work with professionally. If you’ve worked with them before, that’s all they can do. There’s someone better, otherwise, the person you’d worked with wouldn’t be available. Plus, “The Studio” or “The Producers” have “a guy” they want to work with. Maybe you’ve actually heard of that person… Maybe not. It really just means that their agent has been working really hard to get them a gig and has been calling the head of the network every day for a week. “The Execs” wants you to work with that person because they don’t want to be wrong; It’s the path of least resistance. They’re “excited” about that guy, which could mean any of the following:

Mainly, They know him. They don’t know you. If you weren’t a loser, they would know you, so quit fucking whining, dickjob.
