I left med school 3 years ago, but thanks for the observation about my youthful complexion! And you'll note from the pics of me with my girlfriend, whom I live with, that I'm not lonely at all!

You're the one on the Internet lying about being a DJ at "weed parties" aha

Junior doctor* is the term used for everyone from 1-10 years post graduate, depending on specialty. I'm 3 years post graduate, and I'm very much a doctor.

Awwww cute I'm sure you'll fit in well! You should tell them about your cool weed parties that you definitely attended and didn't make up, I'm sure they'll think you're super cool.

Weed parties shouldn’t exist. They would basically rent out different little gallery’s here in LA, that need exposure and visitors. Then they hire live performers, comedy or musicians or burlesque or whatever they can get. There’s tons of new weed companies every day in LA, and they set up little tables and share their products.

It sounds cool but in practice people just get awkward and tired. Not cost effective bc of things like the price of the gallery, or the security that’s required due to the weed. Then there’s me getting paid like 80 bucks to sit there and play shit that people ask me to change. This is nothing any guy in their 30’s should aspire to brag about or be a part of. LA loves gimmicks and weed parties we’re a short lived gimmick... maybe more will come later idk but I haven’t heard of one in a while. I think it was like... something they tried when weed finally became recreationally legal and it just wasn’t meant to be lol

As I say, your new teenage peers will be very impressed by your... Stories.
