This is all so exciting. How did you get into it all? Was this what you went to school for. What allowed you to have a big break.

I am disgusted with my job right and envious of how things seem to be falling perfectly into place for you. I shouldn't do that! But gosh it all seems so glamorous when you talk about it!

Look at us with your cuddy theme and my cuddy icon. Depressed.

I got into it two summers ago when a girl I went to high school with but wasn't really friends with was the art director for a movie and needed people in her art department. She knew from being FB friends with me that I was artistic and into movies/tv so she kept insisting that I send my resume in. So I did and then I just met a lot of really awesome people who I've been able to keep working with whenever they get various projects and need help. I got very lucky that that first crew was such a nice, tight-knit one. Not all of them are like that so it really was one of those "luck meets opportunity" things or whatever. It wasn't easy, there were some weeks that I cried almost every day but all the good I experienced always surpassed the sadness/struggle I felt. And since then it's gotten much better; my skin has gotten thicker and I've gotten better at dealing with people who upset me but I want you to know that it's not all glamorous all the time, especially at the beginning.

What a BITCH. I love what you did, though. I had a moment like that recently having to kill time inbetween shifts and I went to our local wharf which i realized I hadn't been to in years and just watched the ducks for like an hour. It was lovely. :) Awww, i'm so glad it all pulled together for you in the end. :)
So excited about the series.

Having a Beautiful moment completely to yourself from time to time makes all the difference. ♥

Glad to hear you got everybody's autograph in the end. Oops, I didn't even know about silver Sharpies! I always have to order Sharpies from the online, because they aren't available here at all.

I wish you all the luck in the world for your own project!

Sometimes I think you don't realise how unlike yourself you feel until you get that alone time? Glad you got to recharge and enjoy the last day on set and create such a PERFECT souvenir for yourself!! Wrap party sounds fun also :D (sake is the best and also the worst)

AHHH you guys are making things happen with your series!! How did casting go? I love how you are so excited to learn new things and get better, cannot WAIT to see your pitch!

Seriously, that's exactly it. I was just so happy not having to answer to anybody or consider anybody else's feelings for ten minutes. Like I love Jason but I love me more. We had a bit of a fight because a Zombie pub crawl I've been wanting to go to for like 3 years but has always been sold out, I finally got tickets this year and it happens to fall on his birthday. And he doesn't want to go? So it's turned into this power play and I know I should ~be a good girlfriend~ and skip it to be with him on his birthday but at the same time, if the situations were reversed, I'd have my birthday day with him and just go out with my friends that night. I'd let him make it up to me, take me to dinner a different night. "Well the difference is I wouldn't even CONSIDER going to my thing on your birthday." You're a saint of a perfect boyfriend, I get it. I'm not like that and I'm sick of feeling guilty about it, it's exhausting. Lately I just really miss being on my own, being able to direct and dictate my own fucking life. LOL sorry for the rant ( ... )

Best of luck to the kickstarter project! I haven't used kickstarter yet, so I don't really know what that's like, besides the basics. Update us on how it goes! It's really great that putting together a project like that is basically an excuse to create something amazing and beautiful with your favorite people. That's so awesome. How many professions allow you to do that?

I freaking love Buca di Beppo. I can't have Italian food really anymore, though, because there are too many carbs. But ohmygod, *so* good.

Oh, you've gotten drunk off of sake? That's *never* happened to me. I kind of really dislike sake, but even when it's cheap and I drink a lot of it, everyone gets drunk/buzzed but me. I guess rice wine doesn't do anything for me.

I haven't really used it but Jason uses it a TON - never put up a project but he backs a lot of them and reads up on KS all the time - so that'll be a huge help. I will definitely let you guys know how it goes!

Oh I know. I've been trying to cut down on carbs and totally failing. They are just so delicious.

OH MAN SAKE IS THE WORST FOR ME. Not in terms of how drunk it makes me (that'd be tequila lol), but just in how shitty it makes me feel. Still pretty bad in terms of drunkness as well lol.
