First Post in 2008

Wow, I say I'm going to keep up a blog and the last post was basically about a December snowfall and "Oh how exciting that is." It would still be exciting , except a bit more...um...April. Anyway, I just wanted to let anyone who might care know that I'm updating with some fun stuff about me.

First of all, I just came back ( a few weeks ago, to be a bit more specific), from the Candlelight forum, which was this event in Los Angeles, CA, run by my school, Regent, and it's an alumni event for Communication students to network with industry. I totally networked with my best friends and the industry people I already knew, like Dean, Monica, and Thom, but I also met one of my heros, Tony Hale, who plays Buster on Arrested Development, one of my favorite shows. He was a real down to earth guy and he remembered me the next night.

Going back to LA made me long for it more, even though sometimes I'm really nervous and move to fictitious Waterbrook, a suburb in New England where i can find a cushy job, a husband and some kids, just like that. Of course, I'd have to trade in my Stratus for a mini van, for soccer season, but that's ok! (Waterbrook was invented when my friend forgot the name of the real place, Wakefield, that I said I'd live) (Another funny mispronounciation of a place is when someone called Wingershiek beach Washoobaba - I love my friends)

I am going to LA at the beginning of July though, and although I'm wicked nervous, and I'll miss my chowdah, I'm so excited of the challenges coming to me. I'll be staying with my friend Loni for a little bit while I'm looking for a full time apartment, and then I'll be living with my friend Rachel, which will be really fun. I'm glad I'll have my Regent loves as well as the great people I met at Act One to be there for me as I'm getting settled.

Tomorrow I meet with my committee about my portfolio, the scripts for the TV show I created, and the paper and story bible that go with it. A story bible is a sketch of the premise of the show, as well as characters, outlines, and my proposed first season. Tomorrow I find out if I pass or not. Pray for me or wish me luck for tomorrow at 11am.

Peace
