ahhhh!! friends!!!! i love it, its like... being back with friends!!!
and now, only because you asked... right now i am back in ye olde computer lab not studying for this quiz I really need to get an A on. But you're right aren't you? Its almost over. Quizzes and grades and homework and finals and - college is almost all over. and that scares me more than most things and I'm a pretty fearful guy.
so instead of trying to find a job, I get in car accidents and listen to the roots and new m.i.a. obsessively and I... well I do stuff.
at the moment my current obsession is my two scripts. oh yes, its true. I wrote two scripts, one that is a little long and one that is perfect length for a short film. But, because I am not a writer, I've been asking people for their opinions and it's like I couldn't pay people to get back to me. Now I realize that the issue might be that the scripts are not that good and no one wants to say anything but 1) i told people that if they sucked that I wanted to know so I didn't waste my time and money on something that wasn't worth it and 2) the problem is that no one will even read them. They say they will and then I email it out and no one gets back to me.
When you step back and look at your life its interesting (at least to me) to see how things that seem separate are all connected. right now the thing that connects almost everything I do is graduation.
I want to make these films because I am afraid that my reel is for shite. Plus, and most people don't know this, all the films we make as students belong to the university so what we can do with them is limited. I want something that would belong to me and the people who help me, I want it to be ours to do with whatever we want. And I am very interested in it being a collaborative process, thats why I wouldn't mind if someone just straight up rewrote the film, if it was better then there you go. PLUS i don't even want to direct it, I'm offering up a directing spot, I just wanna shoot it. it's a complete win win, but no one's taking the bait. i don't know what to do. I'm determined though, I really am especially about the short one.
I'd like to think that I'm in a very tumultuous time in my life, but I don't know if thats true, and thats not depressing. I'm at a mellow point in my life. Important life changing shit is happening, true, but i'm very peaceful and and mellow about it all... today.
I'm going back home for the old day of thanks tomorrow and luck me gets to stay till sunday. woo hoo... i will be trying, but I do think I need the change of scenery, although the change of climate is gonna make me mad I can tell already. oh well, such is life, neh?
and no, it's not weird to not talk to people from lab, i think its a mutual separation kind of thing. not talking to people you actually like from lab isn't weird either, just not the most desirable thing in the world, i don't know. Its very complicated in a very 'its so simple kind of way'. I would like to tag team that Mrs. A with a couple friends though. I've been thinking about her a lot lately, not sure why.
I really enjoy my journal's new look. very classy and cloudy.
so to answer your question, I'm just
graduation,
mrs. a,
