As far as work goes, I have read at least 200 scripts, sent over 1,000 emails, listened in on hundreds of calls, and scheduled, cancelled, and rescheduled A LOT of meetings. I feel like a completely different person than when I first started. I have more confidence than I even know I possessed and have learned so much just 3 months time. It is overwhelming to say the least-- I didn’t realize how much of an effect this new job would have on me emotionally, and physically. Now that I am settling in though, I am doing much better. Kelly has taught me so much, she is a wealth of knowledge and I plan to take full advantage of everything she has to offer me. There are so many people in this business, and somehow she has managed to navigate through and make sincere connections along the way-- and people respect the hell out of her. There is always so much going on-- between the 2 shows we have on the air and a dozen in development, there is never a dull moment. I get to go to Comicon with PSYCH at the end of July, and shooting starts for MAN UP in the beginning of August. I am in a really good place right now, ad have a lot to look forward to.
What else? Well, I turned 23—and my birthday weekend was better than anything I could have expected. Erin and Robert came down, which was amazing. Alex spent the whole weekend with us, and my new Seminole crew was so much fun, and made my birthday very special. Ahh yes, the Seminoles—where do I even start... I moved to Venice, got Char back (thank god) and now am officially in a Florida State bubble… and it’s really not so bad. In fact, I love them… yes all of them… yes, even Tyler. Little did I know when I met them for drinks 2 months ago how much they would mean to me, in such a short amount of time. These guys are the best, I mean the absolute best. There are 8 good looking--yup I said it, good looking guys all from Florida-- West Palm and Tampa to be exact and 3 of them are my roommates. During the few months I have lived with them, here are a few things I have learned:
- the meaning of the word “beast” and the correct way to use it in a sentence, see: regal?
- how to pop bottles
- “The Show”
- how to tell the difference between West Palm kids and Tampa kids
-“I don’t want to go to the Brig” means we will for sure end up there
- guys either take 2 minutes, or 2 hours to get ready to go—nothing in between
- never go to Home Depot if you don’t plan on spending hours looking for nothing and NOT asking for help, ever.
- the name “Alex Baker” is supposed to mean something to me
- when in doubt, say something vulgar or racist
No matter how stressed out I am from work, or from financial bullshit, there is always the crude comment or ridiculously inappropriate stunt that makes me laugh and pulls me right out of my funk.. I am thankful to have them in my life. On the weekends, I drag them to the farmers market (which I think they secretly like) and in the afternoons we head to the beach. I love Venice, the people, the atmosphere, all of it. This weekend for the July 4th I am going to the Entourage wrap party—oh how my life has changed.
Peace and Love always.
