Nice to see you again!

So i haven't written in like ages, i mostly blame school. Just been busy, well not too busy to read everyone else's journal but more busy in the lazy sense of the word. anyway, well none of my plans worked out. i was going to go home and surprise Larissa for prom, you know the whole drive up and then ask her where the hell i'm supposed to be going, while looking incredibley studly in my tux (the cheapest one i can find). the parents had a problem with this, to be exact 2.
1. there is 2 weeks of school left, so why spend the money to fly home for 2 days when I'll see her in 2 weeks. (that was the lame one, i wouldn't mind spending the money)
2. Finals are coming up, and i probably should finish my final film so i pass production and can entere take 1. ( i emebellished that one they really only said finals are coming up, but i would really like to be entered in take 1 so i can show off my films, some how its strangly satisfying. i don't like any other form of presentation)
Anyway, so no sweet surprises coming up. I'll have to get her something nice for her birthday, but she doesn't want me to spend money.
what does that mean anyway? when a girl says "oh you don't have to get me anything for my birthday" does that mean i want something from the heart? or is it one of those reverse psychology things? any suggestions let me know.
oh yeah, i've started working. the man is taking most my money, and i only get 6 hours a week, which doesn't pay for food consumption, or for saving. Its also not going to help with the mounting prepaid cellphone bill that i get. Producing movies and trying to get actors is hard on the pocket, it might also give me brain cancer.
i think my life was much simpler when i didn't have a cell phone. the lobby wouldn't call 60 million times to let me know someone was here, or people wouldn't call to let me know that they were 5 minutes away, then that they were parking the car, then that they were in the lobby, at which point the lobby would call to let me know that someone was here. thats a whole $1 spent on pointless jibber jabber.
Soccer started, which is awesome. I love playing, even though my team is the worst in the league, we have tons o' fun. the field wee play on is kinda weird, cause its that crazy astro turf with the bits of tire underneath. it plays hell on exposed flesh when you fall on it, i come home from every game bleeding from one or both knees. particuarly my right knee. its fun though the most fun i've had in awhile.
i don't know if i look like a racist person, but it seems like i'm being accused of it a lot, twice in one day to be exact. i was waiting for an elevator up, and an elevator stopped on its way down, since i was going up i didn't look twice at it, but the people in the elevator said "c'mon shaggy there is plenty of room for you" i replied back with its ok and a big smile (i smile a lot) then the people in the elevator said (they were all black thats kinda an important part of the story) "what? is it cause we are black?" i imagine the look on my face of one of horror, that someone would accuse me of that. they laughed and the door shut. later that same night a loud drunk girl was trying to talk to me and since she was just loud and not intellectually stimulating at all (i consider intelectually stimulating to be any one who isn't shouting, forms sensible sentences, and is saying something of interest) this girl struck out on all 3 of my criteria so i kinda turned away from her and started walking away, at which poiint she said "what you don't like me cause i'm mixed race?" trust me i wasn't wearing a white sheet with eye holes cut out, or a pointy hat, i hadn't burned crosses in forever, and i wasn't making any racial slurs. i like to think of myself as open minded about stuff like that (includes homosexuality) so i guess all the people accusing me of not liking them cause they are black just sucked.
i'm shooting my final movie april 30th, and i'm looking for 2 things,
1. bandages, neck brace, crutches or a sling
2. actors who would be able to do some physical comedy.
its going to be fun i like my script (of course i do i wrote it!) i need to do some sewing and costume making to get the whole thing ready so if you know a good fabric stores i'm open ears. i'm pretty excited about this whole final film... well actually i;m more excited at the prospect of editing it than anything else. being my concentration i guess its good i like editing.
well i should sleep since i haven't been doing a lot of that recently and i have to be well rested to clean off tables for 3 hours
