(no subject)
I wrote this entry several days ago, and I was so depressed, thinking it was deleted and gone forever. But lo and behold! It is here! Enjoy.
-----------------------------------------------------
I am currently at the residence of Anand Chulani, alone in his home. He trusts his interns a great deal. And while I'm not stealing his money or possessions, I am going on livejournal when I should be going through his My Name is Earl script! I am obviously maniacal.
His home is filled with inspirational literature, unpaid bills, and comedy notebooks. It is so genuinely thrilling to be here. To be so close to him. To be introduced into the real comedy world. In my very first week of interning with him, I met the executive producer of CBS.com, was asked by her for my headshots, was invited to go to San Fransisco for an improv/sketch comedy show, have helped him write an episode of My Name is Earl, and have gotten free lunches at Cafe Novel. For the first time in my life, I really feel like I can order whatever I want. "Can I get a lemonade? And a triple layer chocolate cake? And a bowl of strawberries?" I feel ligitimate like I've never felt ligitimate before. (Anand never says 'thank you' to the servers -- I say it for him. He meditates every morning, fills his Penta bottled water -- $1.50 per bottle -- with vitamin suppliments. Drives an Audi around LA and exclaims "Who does he think he is?" after getting off his cell phone. He's so Hollywood.)
Danielle, the store manager at Victoria's Secret, wants me to interview for the position of CSL (manager) this week. I am overwhelmed by all the conflicting possibilities that lay ahead of me. As a CSL, I'll be in charge, be making a semi-significant amount of money. But how will it affect my acting career? And if I quit Victoria's Secret, how will I make money? Is it a safe bet since my internship with Anand seems so fruitful? And is this the path I want to take to become an actress anyway? Will I get trapped in television comedies for my whole life?
And most importantly, all of this is taking up all my time, and making me utterly exhausted, while all I really want to do is spend my days with Tyler until he goes away. That day when he leaves is fast approaching, and I want to savor the time I have with him, but if I just let these opportunities slide, will I miss them forever?
I am confused and full of stress.
I suppose I shall go back to making revisions on this damn script now. I am so tired of Earl...and Karma. If I ever hear the word "karma" again, I'll kill someone. That's not true, but I am really tired of this script. I never w
