I'm a friend stranger to everyone, really. Which... is really fucking sad now that I'm acknowledging that, but we're gonna push on and pretend it's totally normal. You can be an actual friend since I've stuck around for a while. A missing persons report sounds kinda fun. Have some cops bang on my door and scare the shit out of me. You'd miss out on the brain malfunction anyway unless you hired someone to just tail me 24/7 to record it for you. I got you one of those Mickey shaped rice krispie treats, but then I ate it so...

Do my eyes deceive me or do I see someone who might be a friend? Might be a stranger? Haven’t decided which one she is yet since it’s been a few weeks since I heard from her. I was actually thinking about filing a missing persons report just to get a kick out of seeing what you’d do if one was filed in her name. For the sake of just watching your brain malfunction when you get it. How was your time at Disney World? Get me anything special?

I'm an LA girl through and through. I've tried living elsewhere, did a few months in London, but I'm such a sunshine girl that I need the California weather. New Orleans must've been a blast! Disney was fantastic. Spent time going on every ride I possibly could. Which one's your favorite? Might spend a little time in the Dominican Republic. Possibly New York or Mexico. All totally different places, but they're spots I haven't been in a bit.

Ah yeah, I've been in that situation before so I completely get what you mean. No need to say more. Sounds like the best thing to do. Not worth to keep dwelling on it. Most of the time in LA. You too? That is true, can't argue with that. Recently been to New Orleans and then of course the Disney trip. It had been ages since I was there last. Was so fun. Did you enjoy yourself? Oh really? What other trips do you have planned?

Maybe I should start shouting my love for you from the rooftops. Superpowers is an amazing idea! What are superpowers that go together? We gotta stick with the dynamic duo thing. Flight and... telekinesis? Oh, a quick date around the world? Nothing but the best for my girl. Would take you on another worldwide trip in a heartbeat!

Oh there she is my quiet soulmate. Equals totally to putting it out there in the universe to getting it back. Oh would we have superpowers? What would they be? I would love to hang out with you at Epcot. Be a hell of a whirlwind date to go around showcase.

Do you feel like horror shows are more fun or are you interested in joining us in the horror film world? Get someone to cast us as the twins in the inevitable reboot of The Shining. I feel like I need to send you an It Follows care package now. Just have you decked out in some merch. Thank you times a million! I love that I could be the one to give you the exciting news. What are your thoughts on what you'd like to see in the second one? I love hearing everyone's theories! Promise to tell you everything I can as soon as I can.

I am a little angelic, not going to lie. You're too kind. I definitely have some experience with the horror genre but I can only dream of working on something to the caliber of It Follows, I happened to rewatch it over the weekend once the kids were in bed and it was so, so good, you're pretty much revolutionary in it. #1 fan, that's me. I can't believe that, I haven't been excited about something like this in a really long time – you've made my week. I won't pick your brain for spoilers but whatever you can tell me down the line, please do.

Guess we just need to start mentioning it to everyone and hope someone agrees with us. That's so true! Maybe we need to take over and have our own cinematic universe. Play every possible duo out there. Both phenomenal places. We can avoid it together! You're heading to Disney with everyone, right? Think we need to hang out. Wanna drink around the world with me?

I have no idea but it should really happen cause it's brilliant right? Pwshh no totally not weird. You know some actors play a love interest in one hallmark movie in siblings in another. Same damn thing. Daww so do you though too? Italy and France those were the top ones. Im sorry to hear that though. Why your girl is avoiding it for now.

maikamonroe: actually obsessed with you?? it was a situation where we were good for last birthday but not for this one, you know? it's on the 29th and planning is officially going hard @.rihanna

rihanna: anyone who ruins your birthday should be curb stomped!!! but yes, have the wildest time you can possibly have. dirty 31, baby! @.maikamonroe

Okay, so I've had people approach me about zombie apocalypse teams. I'm starting to wonder what it is about me that screams solid zombie teammate, but I'll take the title. Would love for our characters to get to just do different movies in every genre. Mickey and Jules can totally survive in a zombie apocalypse! What's a good amount of people for a team? Feel like three isn't enough, but you also don't want too many. We also have to think about the fact that we could be the last people surviving... Sounds fair to me!

It's definitely hard, I don't fully know who is going to be strong enough for a team like this, really. True, I think you, me and Bill would have a good team and especially you two close already. I could see the characters you two played kicking ass in a zombie apocalypse by the way. We do, but would it just be us three or should we figure out others? Yes, we need shirts like a real team. I'll provide drinks and I think Bill can provide his home then. Only seems fair.

We might have to do zombie bootcamp. Get us all ready to go as a team! Oooh, location scouting is a solid skill. May I present Cillian Murphy and Bill Skarsgard to join our team? The three of us have discussed a solid trio, but I feel like if we combine, we're solid.

——- For the sake of our team, i'd definitely try and get better with my skills, but i'd be really good at getting us things and scouting out places for zombies of life if needed. i'm sure, me, you, ana and taylor could really make a great time though, for sure. ( @maikeymonroe )

MaikaMonroe: You gonna be at this big Disney trip??? 👀 Can we finally link up after attempting to forever? MaikaMonroe: Killing Zac Efron sounds absolutely insane and I'm kinda obsessed. What exactly are they killing you with?

ZacEfron: Is that so? You'll have to tell me about it sometime. ZacEfron: Yeah, cool. I'm around LA, where are you? ZacEfron: Something called Killing Zac Efron. Are they? Good to know, good to know.

maikamonroe: having 90% of my memories from my 30th being ruined by my ex means i get to have a super wild 31st, right? asking for a friend...

The glow's pretty great, not gonna lie. Though I have my shit, I was I had siblings moments too. Wanna switch lives for a day and just see what happens? Or, really, we only need to switch parents. Does that mean I get to convince you to spill secrets about season 5 because you'll be delirious from lack of sleep? I'm in. Gonna just give myself to the ocean once and for all. And I swear I mean that in the chillest way and not anything concerning. Kids absolutely terrify me. I mean, I thought about them for a hot second, but that went away. The way you guys film is absolute insanity! How do you just do that shit for a year? Here I was thinking season 2 was crazy.

Private: It makes sense to me. I didn't say there was anything wrong with it, I'm just frustrated about the whole thing, I guess. I did that whole thing and realized I could still travel and do my own thing while having someone with me or waiting for me. I mean, I don't know if it's specifically about the who and just the fact that the last two brought me into this false state of complete trust and talked about the whole future thing to just... give it all up. You know what it's like to be in that fuck everything I thought was the plan for my life suddenly stopped and changed completely mindset.

What a glow that is. I wonder about that glow all the time when Lizzy asks me something crazy. You can always call me. I'm up around that time for set purposes... and late night feeding purposes. I don't sleep anymore, Mike. Australia is calling your name? Go on ahead, mate. Enjoy the time while you got it. It's all good. It's still all very new to me. The boys just turned a month last week so it's still fresh. It's the night shoots that are making me feel like I'll never have a normal feeling back or normal sleep schedule again.

PRIVATE: You really think karma is doing her work on you? There's nothing wrong with being single and enjoying the time while you got it, Mike. Just because it's in the cards for everyone else right now but not yourself doesn't mean it's not ever going to be in the cards. Are you telling me that you want to settle down? I mean, I knew it would happen eventually but you always used to talk about seeing the world, getting to have the full experiences without any ties. Look, just because it didn't work out with him doesn't mean that it won't work out with someone else. You know?

I would love to play your sister in something! Who do we have to beg to turn this into a reality? Though, is it strange if this whole new friendship blossomed from me having a crush on my acting sister? I'm so happy you're doing great! You deserve all of the great things in the world. Where have you been traveling too? My favorite thing to do! I was just in a weird place for a while from "love" life bullshit, but it's all good now.

Pwssh takes one to know one babes. I know it will really confuse people if we did this in public cause we kind of could play sisters, least in my mind. Totally should do it that way. Ive been freaking great. Mix of pleasure and business. Little travel and a little work. Oh how come my love?

Oh, so you're an angel popping up into my life? Got it, got it. That means a lot coming from you! I know you know your way around the psychological horror world. I'll never discourage you from watching it some more! Should be a weekly thing at this point. Just be the movie's number one fan. We are! David's been talking about it forever, but he finally got things solidified and ready to go. This one will be They Follow and we film this year. I was sworn to secrecy, but the script is fantastic and I know you'll love it if you love the first!

I’m all about compliments and love, so that’s not a threat to me in the least. You should be proud, it’s an incredible film and really turned the genre on its head, I’m happy to talk about its merits all day long if you’ll let me – in fact, this conversation is making me want to watch it again, which is kind of ridiculous since it’s not that long since I first watched it! You’re so welcome. I have no idea that you guys were making a sequel?! I may have just squealed. What can you tell me about that? 

We'll need a couple more people, maybe, but it's tough to judge. We can't risk making the wrong decision. Bill and I have matching careers with our one film that ties us together so it's only fair that he's king. We just need a team meeting at this point. Brainstorm the name and then get the shirts made! I'll be in charge of the meeting snacks.

Now that sounds like a plan to me. Great, guess the three of us will really have to work it then, huh? Yes, he really is and that's cute he's king in your heart. We could do t-shirts and a team name, just need to figure it out. I'll try and think, maybe should hit up Bill and see if he has any ideas?

Don't be. It's one of those situations where the person turned out to be nothing like you thought they were. It's been... like six months or something, so I'm just keeping it all behind me. Where are you usually? In LA or somewhere else? That sounds pretty damn perfect. A mix of filming and traveling is truly the best of both worlds. Where have you been visiting? I'm pretty good. Planning out a few trips of my own before I start filming again.

Oh, i'm sorry to hear that. Are you ok though? Yes of course, i'm always up for grabbing a drink and having a chat and getting to know you. Sounds like fun. Basic is the way to go. I'm doing quite alright, thanks for asking. Just been shooting some scenes for the rookie and taking a little holiday across the country. What about you? How have you been doing?
