long time
oh boy... how time certainly passes. it feels like forever ago since i wrote my last journal entry. haha, i just had a look back at all my obsessive, bi-polar entries, and can't help but laugh. i guess once you obtain certainty, all of your previous bouts of uncertainty just seem utterly foolish. i kind of feel like deleting them all, but they'll make really hilarious memories someday, so i decided i'll just keep them.
on that note, things with my 'prince charming' have been going pretty good, believe it or not! we've been officially a 'couple' for a little while now, and although we've already had our few ups and downs, overall everything has been splendid. i'm at that comfortable point now, though, where i don't understand how i was ever so obsessed in the first place, because it just seemed so damn easy in the end. oh well, it was still a fun ride. anyway, we've also announced it to people, so everyone else knows about us now. we had many people who were surprised (mostly because of the age difference/teacher-student relation), but everyone ended up being cool with it anyway, which was really awesome. and then there were the people who had their suspicions that something was going on, way even before school ended. that was pretty funny. and then there were the rumors. the rumors were the first to spread, actually... i think most people found out that way. (naturally, right?) and then us opening up about it just confirmed them.
in other news, which i can't believe i haven't posted yet, i also got an agent a little while back around the end of september. awesome thing was, i didn't even have to submit! remember that showcase we had for school? well apparently they were sent invitations, and although couldn't make it, got to see headshots of everyone who was performing. they contacted the school administrator, further saying that they were interested in seeing sample footage from me and this other girl. super cool, right? so i proceeded in sending them my demo reel, which they for some reason liked, and asked me to come in for an interview. i was like hell yeah! so i went in, talked to one of the agents, went really well, then the next day she called me up to tell me that she was interested in having me join their roster! fucking most exhilarating moment ever, i gotta say. it's one of the top agencies in town too, so that was even more of a bonus. and so far, i definitely love them. been going for auditions roughly once every one/two weeks, so that's been great. i remember being super nervous and lost during my first one, but now i'm pretty familiar with all the studios, and although i still get nervous, it's not as bad.
so... pretty much, september was the shiz of the year for me. finished school, hooked up with crush, got an agent, got a JOB! haha, totally forgot to mention that. i got a job pretty much fresh out of school, first place i applied to, which has NEVER happened before! i'm working as a hostess at this really nice sort of upscale pub in the business district, in absolutely the most kickass location. it's not close to where i live, but it's downtown, right on the water, so the view is phenomenal. anyway, i only work there part-time, so i am still looking for a second job (obviously not having much luck with that as i had with this one), but i'm just glad i managed to get a job at all (a decent one at that), and so soon! literally, i applied through an online ad one day, i go for the interview the next day, and then the lady emails me THAT NIGHT to tell me i got the job! so freakin' sweet. i only wish it paid enough for me to be able to survive. my parents are still helping me out, but they're getting to the point where they're going to be cutting me off soon, so i DEFINITELY have to find a second job... otherwise my whole life i have going here is just going to go straight down the drain. fuck.
but that's the jist of what's been happening up in my joint! some pretty exciting stuff, as well as some pretty... not-exciting stuff. but i have faith that things will pull through! kinda sucks that everything i'm striving for seems to completely oppose my lazy lifestyle. haa. oh well, gotta grow up sometime!
