Good weekend so far
So far this weekend has been very enjoyable. The only downer is that we didn't get to the hip-hop cardio dance after all. One of the girls had to back out because she had an interview at 5:45 and the class started at 6:00. Then 2 other girls started wavering, and that just left me and Heather, which made me feel weird. It was one thing if we were leaving early with a Casting Director, a Story Producer and an Associate Producer. But to have just us 2 PAs leave early? That felt weird. Heather was kinda POed, but I think she's over it. And we all do want to go, it's just that the only beginner class is at 6pm and we hardly ever get out before 6:30. So it's tricky. Hopefully we'll get to one at some point, because it did sound fun.
The rest of the night was better though. I drove down to Santa Monica to hang out with Jed, which was really nice, since I hadn't seen him since March. Originally we were going to go to dinner, then go see "Mr and Mrs Smith." I wasn't crazy about the idea, but Jed wanted to see a "popcorn flick" and I'd already seen "Star Wars Episode III" and "Batman Begins." But in the end we abandoned that idea, and went to an Irish pub for dinner with his roommate, Liz. It was a really cool place, and the food was really good. I had a salmon blt which was delicious. Both Jed and Liz told me the fries there were awesome, and they did indeed smell delicious. But I stopped eating fries 2 months ago, so I quickly gave them all to Liz. She didn't mind.
After dinner we walked back to their apartment, then me and Jed went back out to another bar for a drink, then walked around a bit and talked. Or rather, he talked at me a lot. Jed's a great guy and a really good friend, but he has a habit of getting into long rants about how he isn't satisfied with his career, and how he wants to be more than a PA. I know how he feels of course, but I'm 10 years younger than him, so it's more frustrating for him. It would have been nice to talk about more than just his frustrations with his career, but once he gets going he just keeps going, and I have a tendency to let him. I know what it's like to let things build inside you with no one to bounce it off of, so I didn't want to rob him of that.
I seem to have a weird habit of going out with guys, and being in really romantic settings, and having nothing happen. I went on the date with Brian, we went up to Mulholland Drive at night to see the view...nothing. Jed and I walked down to the beach at sunset...nothing. I don't want to be dating either guy, but at the same time, what gives? Oh well. It was still very pretty. CA beaches are a vast improvement over LI beaches, that's for damn sure.
Today was more relaxed, and I did some chores around the house. Laundry, cleaned the floor, painted my nails and my toes! I even got Vic to finally sit down and watch "Miracle" with me. Though, he did tell me that it was partially so I'd stop harassing him about it. I laughed at first, but then realized he was serious. He wasn't mad or irritated or anything, but he told me kind of matter-of-factly that he's the type of person that the more you tell them to do something, the less they want to do it. Hehe...I guess that sounds kind of like me on some level. I apologized a bunch of times, because I really didn't mean to be bugging him. He said it wasn't a big deal because he did want to see it, but now I know for the future. That is one tidbit I will definitely keep in mind for the future.
It was really fun watching the movie with him though. I'd been wanting to watch it for months, but really wanted to watch with him. So I was happy to be watching, and happy that he finally saw it. He laughed really hard at certain parts, which I loved because I absolutely love his laugh. And he said he liked it, which was good. And I cried, of course, because I always do. It was a fun night. But I should go to bed, because I have to be up at 7am to help J with his film tomorrow at 8am. The things that we do for that boy and his film. You'd be amazed.
