*to be titled later
Since I'm too tired to think of anything witty or creative for a title at the moment...
As forms I'm dating and entries I'm recording remind me this morning -- it's the last day of April. A not-small part of me is pleased to just have made it through the month. Another part of me would like to pat myself on the back for accomplishing what I managed to from my goals/projects this month (found here: http://breebers.livejournal.com/468187.html), especially in light of everything I've been through this month.
I did very little on the screenplay. Fifteen pages. Ick. But that's more than I had before...
Friend's book looked over, edited and formatted - check!
Continuing editing of NovelNo2 - check! (I'm only about 1/3 through, but that's about 40 pages farther than I started out the month)
Read more - check! (Not as much as I'd like, but I did manage to get through two books this month)
Cafe Press site ready - almost check... ETA approximately one more week. Perhaps less.
Not too shabby when I look at it that way. I also managed to work all my hours for NOTE this month (for the first time in over a year it was questionable whether or not I would -- I know, it shocked me, too). And I still have a job... and I don't hate it. That's a HUGE improvement over oh, the last three years.
Of course, the main reason for this is not really to say, "Hey, look this past month could have actually sucked more but it didn't," though the reminder is nice. What this date signifies to me more than anything else is that there's exactly one month until my birthday. One month until I celebrate my birthday for the first time ever in LA. While I am devastated by not being able to spend my birthday, or any time at all, in Mackinaw as I should, I'm determined to do something special for my birthday. Only problem being as I've never had a birthday in L.A. (and very few in my life NOT in Mackinaw), I don't really know what one does on their birthday in this town. I mean, there's clubbing and dining and all that 'Hollywood' bull that I hate. I guess the question is not 'What does one do in LA for their birthday?' but rather 'What do I do in LA for my birthday?' I want it to be fun, yet chill, special, with good food and good peoples, cheap and somewhat centrally located. Someone suggested BBQ at my place which, now that I get to STAY in my place, sounds pretty good. I just don't want to plan and organize everything. Is it acceptable to contact friends and say: I want to do this for my birthday, and I'll help but I don't really want to plan and organize everything -- will you do it for me?
Also, I don't particularly want to be another year older, but that's a post for another day.
