i am either really happy with the way my life is turning out and the way that i'm living each and every day or i'm really disapointed in myself for not actually being able to acheive what i thought i could out of it.
i love the idea of being a parrt of film every day of my life, nothing else to it, i've spent the last 10 days straight on 3 different back to back film sets and i've loved every second of it. i've art directed, camera assisted, boom op'd and just hung around and talked with a bunch of people i love being around. i went to random places i ate free wonderful craft services and crashed at random houses. i went through a shitty couple of days on set and me and some friends were talking about getting trashed, instead we went out for ice cream and it was super cute.
i'm loving living away from home i'm so glad to be away from my family and it's really cool to live with a film kid. our relationship is either terrable or terrably hilarious though. we make fun of each other to no end at school and everyone thinks we hate each other in that jokeing kind of way and has no idea how we can live together but at home we actually do homework and watch movies together. i wake her up and she hates me for it and she takes the keys and i hate her for it. i think it's healthy, don't you? either way it's a good thing i'm sure.
today i rode a skateboard to set and when i got there everyone was so happy to see me because we needed a dolly and i had unassumingly brought one. dear smelly, your $5 skateboard is now a movie star, behind the scenes though of course. i love that things like that happen.
the part i'm not loveing is how i've as always saved everything to the last minute, it seams it's something i've never quite gotten rid of and now i'm stressing to a rediculous amount. i'm just disapointed because i could have done so much better and i know it if i had just set serious deadlines for myself. on the plus side however i'm going to use this as a learning experience and do everything ahead for the next one i'm produceing later in the year. (thats the one i'm really a fan of anyway so at least it'll go well)
once next weekend is over i'll either be so happy and free or terrably guilty for doing so little, we'll see how it goes.
if anyone wants to watch a movie fall flat on it's face we'll be shooting at white oaks and looking for extras, once again next weekend, feel free to drop on by.
vicki, call and leave me a message with your number again, i need to know how busy you are and if you can still do craft!!! it's super important.
Claire, we might be useing your apartment after all, not too sure but it's back to a posibility on our end, would it still be alright with you if it came to that? would it be alright with coleen? it'd be just for one day, let me know please.
