Two Women and a Few Weddings...

So, my father has officially left for Europe for the next three months. These next few months are gonna be tough for my Mom and I. My Mom because her husband is gone and they have never been apart for more than two weeks, and me because my Dad and I are really close. I am having trouble imagining life in this house without him and his cheezey sense of humor. I will however have my boyfriend around to pick up the cheezey humor slack that my Dad is leaving, so I won't go completely without it. Still, I miss my Dad, and can't wait for him to be home!

Wedding Shows
So my Mom got me hooked on watching Say Yes to the Dress. We sit there and crtique the dresses and I beg her to not be too oppinionated when we pick out my dress and then we talk about what kind of dress I want. Now we have also started watching Four Weddings, and discuss again the aspects that we like and what I want at my wedding. Might I add that I'm only 19...

We Never Come Up With Good Ideas on the Otter!

Ever have that feeling like you've been replaced, or somewhat forgotten? I've been feeling that way a bit. When I first came home in the winter from Indiana I had realized that my "little sister" had replaced me and that weather or not i liked it, I wasn't apart of her life anymore. She had replaced me with a friend and i was no longer a member of the family. Now, I feel more forgotten then replaced. After leaving Indiana and some of my best friends, I kind of feel as if I've been forgotten. I still have a few friends whom i speak to on a regular basis, but there are some that I was so close to, that barely speak to me at all now, and it saddens me, A LOT.  I suppose I really can't help that, I try to keep in touch as much as possible, but the ball is in their court now. I try not to be bitter, or upset with them, but sometimes i just can't help it.

My Life is a Movie

So I know I mentioned waaaaay back when that I am involved with a group of people who make full length films for fun.Well, today we are filming at my home. We are currently filming a movie called "Autumn", which is about the effects one girl's death has on many people's lives.  And we are filming in my backyard, which in the movie is the backyard of the coke addict's home. We are also in the middle of filming a five part short called "Night of the Clowns" in which we all get tortured by clowns, creepy clowns, REALLY CREEPY CLOWNS. Did I mention my freakish fear of clowns? Like I see a clown and I cry in a corner. But after a while they aren't creepy because I know the guys behind the make up. Speaking of the movie group, we just had a premiere! It was for our movie "Tower Phi", which is about a killer in a fraternity.
So let's start from the very beginning, a very good place to start.... How did I meet these wonderful people that have become my best friends? Well I'm glad you asked. I originally met them because of an audition for an Indie film for a movie called "Mach" by Mike Simek. Kevin Greene, who is our writer, director, and creator of our production company Achieving Movement, was at these auditions looking for more actors for his movies with Achieving Movement. Kevin saw my audition and wanted me to play a role in his movie 9TEEN. Kevin contacted me a few days after the audition while I was downtown with some friends. I had originally gotten a text message from a friend saying "hey this guy wants your number can I give it to him?" Before I even get the chance to tell him yes I get a text message from some kid named Kevin Greene saying "Hi, I saw you at the Mach auditions and I want you to play a role in my movie" So, I said yes, and here I am, letting them film in my backyard and watching Kevin snort powdered sugar.

The O.C.
So I recently started watching The O.C. because Kevin Greene decided that I needed to study their acting and take some notes. Not only do I agree that the acting is phenomenal, but this show has become addicting!
