Home again...
I again, have been lacking on the whole updating my journal thing. Its the same old story..busy, busy, busy. *laughs*
So,Ryan and I made it to St. Lucia and I can't even tell you how amazing it was. Okay the first word that comes to mind is beautiful but that doesn't even begin to cover it. It's just the scents, the sounds, the feel of the warm breeze, the.. it's like even the weight of the air changed. It all combines together, and when you step off that plane you just get happy. Is that weird? *laughs* You kind of leave your cares on the plane, and so when you step into St. Lucia you're so fresh. The natives of the island, a lot of other guests - there are markets and shops, and boutiques, and the resort was just gorgeous, really. I couldn't tell half the time if I wanted to just lay there and be lazy under the sun, or run around on the beach. *laughs* We were only there for four days, but it was.. really needed. The atmosphere, the sun, the water - the ocean was so light, and the sky - I could hardly tell where which one ended at each other. We didn't really do a lot of sightseeing, other than a few shop wanderings, but I didn't mind at all - it was just a total purge, being there. *laughs* I slept in every day, and went to bed when I felt like it, and it was hard leaving, I'll admit. It was your picture perfect, postcard paradise. White sand, towering palm trees, reefs, and light blue water. *smiles* And the nights were so clear. One night, we had dinner on this table out on the beach, and there were fire torches lit around us so it was all lit up, and it was just so beautiful. We laid in the sand and looked up and you wouldn't believe all the stars you could see. It was just glittering.. *smiles* I wouldn't mind going back sometime in my life. But for now, it's back home in crazy L.A.. Hey - you can't live in a dream, right? It gives me something to look forward to, and to wait for, I suppose. But it's also good being back, and returning the 113 phone messages that were left on my voicemail. Don't ask why 51 of the messages were from Liv. *laughs* I think she broke it. *laughs*
Main promotion is over for 'Le Divorce', which I'm kind of glad about, but kind of not - does that make sense? I hate leaving projects behind, but I'm glad that it's complete, and now I can move on to other ones. Not to mention that the back-to-back movies with production/press was really stressful - even mentally. I'm going to miss seeing those guys all the time for work - we always say, 'I'll call you!' but you know how that goes.. it never seems to get done. I really grew close to Naomi as during the filming last year, and spending so much time with her in the last few weeks..I realized how much I missed her. So for now we'll run into each other, I suppose, and I guess that's the best thing I could ask for. I hope that everything turns out fabulous for them, too, though. 'Skeleton Key' has me really excited, too. It looks so interesting, and it's not like anything I've ever done before, what with the whole.. gee.. I don't know.. "scary".. aspect? *laughs* No, but seriously. It's nothing like what I've ever done before, so I'm really sort've antsy/nervous/excited. ...but it would figure that production for that got pushed back, right? *laughs* Yeah, exactly. Not that I'm complaining too much.. this means I get an extended break, and THAT... I am simply loving. I'm just being free right now - living. I'm enjoying the direction my life is taking right now and want to be able to stop and enjoy it.
Well its off to bed with me. So Ill end this here. :)
