Oh livejournal, how I've forgotten about thee
Let's see ... what has happened in the past many months since my last post?
-Still working in the same restaurant
-Completed two more movies, and am in the process of making another one
-Bought an electric/acoustic Washburn guitar, and an acoustic Epiphone guitar. They sure are purty pa.
-Have dated ... no one. Wow that's a record. I'm loving the single life right now ... sometimes. :P
Please god let me think of something else interesting .... for my own sake ...
Oh! I might be moving to LA soon with a good friend of mine. He might get accepted to USC and if he does, then he's making me tag along. That would be freaking awesome. That's where my career's at, so I'm pumped. To become a future screenwriter, I must start at the bottom. Getting coffee? No problem Mr. Spielberg! Okay that's dreaming a little too big ...
"I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz came on. I LOVE this song. Yes, random. There will be many of those randomness things in my posts.
So yeah, LA would be an exciting turnaround. Might open up some dating possibilities. I seem to be making a record out of dating my coworkers which is no bueno. Three is the number I'm up to. Fourth one is in the works. ;) haha Not all at once! Oh god no. At different points in time. I'm no hussy.
The guy I'm working on right now ... wow that sounds horrible. Anyways, he's cute, we get along, we insult each other in the way that we know we don't mean any harm we're just having fun, and we each have great comebacks. I love that. Haha yeah I'm weird. The sucky thing is, I don't think I'm fixed yet. I have a problem which keeping and maintaining relationships. Because I simply just don't like them. I feel claustrophobic, suffocated, and trapped. I hate having to call and see someone all the time. And I'm a real sucky girlfriend. I'm a great friend, so it's strange to me that I would be such a bad girlfriend. I told my best friend these things and he just thinks I haven't met the right person. And he's definitely right, cause about 90% of the guys I've been with are all jerks. I either have strong feelings for them because of their personality, or because I"m sexually attracted to them, never at the same time have both happened.
The funny thing is too, is that I love romantic novels. Nicholas Sparks books. And I love Pride and Prejudice. So I don't think it's because I'm not girly enough (cause I'm not girly at all really ..), I just don't know. And I sooo did not plan on writing all this when I started. Just kind of came out. (That's what she said)
Maybe I'm destined to be an old maid, much like Lizzy was before she met her Mr. Darcy. Career first is probably how it's going to be. And if I'm famous as a screenwriter, then so be it. The fortune cookie did say that my future contained great success and wealth. Too bad it failed to mention whether or not I'd be happy. Damn you fortune cookie and your mixed signals!
So, lighter stuff. I'm listening to the new Lily Allen and loving it. Can't wait till that album comes out. I also can't wait to buy Schuyler Fisk's new one. That song she does with Joshua Radin "Paperweight" I believe, is amazing.
Also, buy Lisa Hannigan's new album, its grrr-eat. She used to sing with Damien Rice (and she will be missed singing duets with him) but now has a solo album and I love it. It's my creativity music along with some Iron and Wine.
Production for my movie starts this Thursday! I'm so excited. We're filming in LA ... so here's to hoping that all goes well. Black and white movie shot on Super 8. So it's going to look like an older film. No dialogue, but we got a great composer for the music, so I'm pumped. It's for a festival in march. My fourth movie. I still can't believe that I got mixed up in the crazy life of making movies. It's all surreal.
I'm just so lucky to have a friend who knows how to operate cameras and owns such instruments, and knows how to edit to boot. He's my best friend and I'm so grateful to have him in my life.
Okay, enough of mushy.
I'm hoping after this film, I can write a script without having to direct it. I'm no Director. I'm finding that out more and more as I go along. I have a vision yeah, but I'm horrible at conveying it to others. I have a vision when I write and that's what inspires me to write, but actually having to storyboard and direct the cameras movements? It's daunting. So, next project I do, I'm writing and handing it to someone. I may have a job writing a comedy for someone who's looking for a writer. I'll have to get back to him on that.
I've never written a comedy before. The other shorts I've done are drama, horror, light comedy but that was because I was actually helping out a friend for Sundance, and this one starts out as a romantic movie, but turns dark. So I'm a very dark person I"d say ...
I'll try my hat at comedy though. People say I'm funny. I don't see it, but whatevs. I love to laugh, and TRY and make other people laugh, but I don't really think I"m all too funny. I'm more sarcastic if anything.
I have about 45 minutes to go before I gotta dry and my hair and hit the road, so I must be off. This was a looong post, but it was overdue I s'pose.
Until next time fellow Livejournal-ians.
