Monday August 18, 2008:
Thanks to my wonderfully respectful neighbors, I am awake earlier than expected for today (I am moving soon-long story-happy ending).
I figure that one positive and useful way of utilizing this extra awake time, is to finally sit down and share my life here, again, on my website. AND, to make sure that it actually updates with all my writing this time, because last time for some reason.. after I saved it.. it went VAMOOSH! So this time I will use the copy/paste method to ensure that it works.
I can tell already how this diary entrie is going to be. Already rambling about the process of merely writing it. Oh boy. :)
Anyway, where do I begin.. It feels, sometimes, like so much time has passed and that weeks are just flying by. Yet, in reality, I've only been back in California for about a month and a half. Wow. I honestly thought it was at least two. My goodness I have done A LOT since I've been back.
Well besides moving into a place which is situated on the ground (as opposed to something with wheels ;), I have been working..... A LOT. Also have been relaxing... sprinkled with a little bit of hanging out. But the majority of my food group, the bottom section, is filled with work (with the food being my life, I suppose). You know, that food pyramid thingie? Except I suppose it would only have 3 levels, rather than 4.
The salt level would be completely removed. Let me actually look at one so I know how to proceed in this extremely wordy explantation. BRB.
Okay. Thank you Google. I now have an image right next to this. So here it goes. I've completely cut out fats, oils, & sweets because I can't think of what that would represent. Milk, Yogurt, & Cheese would be replaced with exercise. Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, etc. would be replaced with hanging out.
Vegetables would be replaced with relaxing. Fruits would be replaced with errands.
Finally, bread, cereal, etc. would be replaced with working various jobs and such. Although, mind you, the majority of the kind of working in which I do, tends to fall into all of the other categories.
Wow I just got distracted by my fish. George is a deep sleeper!
But I digress, yet again.. ANYWAY.. to sum everything up, I have been enjoying every single job that I have, because I am FINALLY working in my field... which is totally amazing.
I have finally started somewhere, I can definitely say that. I am, "in my game", so to speak.
And I've found that I'm actually somewhat of a workaholic. I enjoy having to work. On most of the days that I am off, I find myself wanting to be working. I love it. I have been learning a lot, too.
Saturday I had my first job as a 2nd ac. I learned what the entire camera department does (believe it or not, I didn't learn this in college).
I just have to interrupt. My fish is too cute. He is sleeping on the bottom right of the tank. Nestled on top of the rocks and on the edge of the tank. When I was distracted before, it was because I noticed how still he was, and it kind of worried me. So I tapped on his tank - nothing. I picked up his tank - nothing. Then, finally, while I was holding his tank, he kind of confusedly started moving around and then looked up at me. So I apologized and put his tank back down.
I just had to interrupt because when I looked at his tank, he was nestled again in the corner like that, facing the right hand side of the tank. And then I saw him turn around in that same corner and face the left hand side of the tank, not moving. Just like how I would turn over in my sleep. And I just think that is the cutest thing I have ever seen a fish do in my entire life. He's like a little person. It's so amazing. And totally adorable. Awwe he just did it again. SO CUTE!! I love my little fishy :)
|My little boy George. He is making me sleepy just looking at him. I may have to lay back down again. :)
Anyway, so that's pretty much it about my life. Pretty simple really. I really love working. Every job has its perks to it. It feels really nice to be working in my field. I do everything, too. TV production, film production, video production, singing, and acting. Although I really want to kick it up a notch or two, as far as acting and performing goes. I think that is my next mission.. to get some juicy acting roles and performance gigs lined up.
Although now I am being faced with looking for another place to live, so it kind of puts that on a slight holt again for me. Maybe. Well, yeah it does. I'm the kind of person who likes to... how do I explain this..
Well, finding a place to live, takes priority over everything, pretty much. I guess I just want to make sure I have my ass covered before I go out dancing. I like to kind of take things step by step.
That's a long story too. Why I'm suddenly looking for another place to move, but I will get into that another time. I think I've actually written myself sleepy. So I am going to catch up on a little nappypoo now. :)
Gnite and thanks for reading.

REST IN PEACE GEORGE MARLEY SLAVIS:
Monday August 18, 2008 - Approx 8:30PM - found passed away in apartment
Cause of death appears to be natural causes. Appears to have gone in sleep.
George, you were the best fish I have ever had in my entire life and I will remember you forever. You and I went through a lot together. We traveled across the country. I even took you hiking with me. You were my little boy George and my love for you is eternal.
