photoshoots, biological clocks, etc.
On Thursday I had a photo shoot, so now I'm obligated to update. :) Sorry I've been neglecting everyone's journals. It seems like there is something I want to say to everyone but I just haven't had time!
The photographer was Doug Winsor, who is an all-around swell fellow. I had a great time and he was great to work with. Not only was he a non-pervy, fun, nice guy, but he had all sorts of new ideas, which was quite refreshing. I'm not going to elaborate, I'll just show you when the new site is up! It is too bad he lives in Canada or I would tell everyone to run and shoot with him, but he does travel often.
I stayed at Jeremy's that night, and when I woke up I felt like somebody had beaten me up. So, I fell back asleep and slept until until 3!! Yes, 3 PM!! And the only reason I didn't sleep longer was because I knew I had to get up and call home (and not appear to be a total deadbeat). I basically felt like I did when I first got mono, and still don't feel much better. My dad felt this way a few days ago and it passed pretty soon - it just sucks that now I have to work today and tomorrow! Whaa! Oh well. When do I NOT feel sick in some way? :) On the upside, that night I figured out that Nick at Night stopped showing The Brady Bunch after Three's Company and is now showing Perfect Strangers. That's one solid of hour of pure entertainment!
Despite my recent positive experiences with modeling, and my negative experiences with pregnancy, Jeremy and I decided that we want to try to have a baby soon. Obviously we need to get a lot of things in order first, but I know we can make it work. We've always planned on having kids, but I wanted to wait a long time because of modeling and stuff. But if what I really want is to have a baby, I think I just screw modeling and do what is important to me. Modeling is actually kind of stressful to me, and while it can be fun at some times, it won't be very hard to give up. I'm still going to always maintain my website and who knows? Maybe someday I'll be back in shape and can do it again? Before you tell me that I'm way too young, keep in mind that I will be quickly approaching 21 when I actually have a kid (if everything goes to plan), which is a perfectly respectable age if you ask me. Plus, it's not like I'm squandering my youth because I don't go do anything anyway.
I don't know. Things that were important to me when I started modeling seem kind of silly now. All I wanted was, really, to become an actress. Which I know is such a shock, because NO other models want to be actresses! Anyway, I basically just wanted to be famous - but I would rather have my privacy now, and time with Jeremy. And I don't want to have to travel all of the time or get a bunch of plasic surgury just to compete (and come on, even Danny Bonaducci gets Botox injections). I don't know, there's just more to life than that, and sitting in front of a camera looking purty.
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for every opportunity that comes my way. I'm still going to do shoots in the meantime. We are thinking about 6 months from now or so we will start trying if everything goes right, so I have plenty of time to do new things. I'm really tempted to quit all of my exercising and crap, but I guess I should try to stay in shape at least for my health. I guess if some really amazing opportunity came around to act in something I would probably take it, but not with the thought that it would be an ongoing career. I don't care too much if I have to get a crappy job for awhile to put myself through school or whatever - I just want to get married, move out, and have a little family with a cute dog.
Watch, probably something really cool will come along and I'll be like "screw that!" :)
Hopefully not. Pretty soon I'm going to start with the prenatal vitamins, as well as vitamin B-6 and folic acid to cut down on nausea. Ahh, it feels good to plan.
