i might have just had the most productive day ever. i saw loads of people and did loads of things.
7:49 - wake up
8:07 - arrive at 8 o'clock meeting, listen to a pitch and feel like a real producer for a moment, play with the cutest baby in the world, probably.
9:07 - talk to jp
9:30 - haircut w/abby. left looking stylish. slammed middle finger in car door, yell a lot, contemplate if i brushed my teeth or not, magical package in the mail, pick up alena
11:00 - bridesfriends dress shopping. didn't find what i was looking for, found a cool sweater thing.
"this is cute!" as we pull out the same dress at the same time.
12:30 - in n out lunch. yum
1:05 - drop alena off, pick djb up, drop djb off
around 2 - rockclimbing with anna, my first time, rock it sort of, muscles literally give up after a while, going to feel that one in the morning.
4 - go to bank to deposit checks. lock keys in the car. walk home. shower.
5:30 - go back to bank with jen and alex, AAA man breaks into my car. buy cookies for party and Sunny D for kels. Sunny D has taken over Smiths. also buy milk, cheese, and cottage cheese. drive home.
6:00 - work. talk to mum. rig up shirt-stretching device. take a short nap
7:45- think about going to the wrap party
8:45 - make it to wrap party with kels and bree. saw the cricketless loves of my life. talked movies with phil. made cell phones eat each other for the amusement of others. listen to good music while facing the wrong way.
10:40 - drop kels off. go back to party. drop erin off after some detours.
around 12am - car conversation
1:07 - go to in n out drive thru for milkshakes w/ roommates. pull up next to a car with morgan in it, yell back and forth while driving in an epic way. drink milkshakes. talk about how we're going to do things, but everyone gradually fades out. waffle fries don't get made.
2:33 - listen to pandora, already feeling sore, and finger in moderate pain.
this is what happens when i'm not filming on a friday. things actually happen/get done!

the classes i'm taking this semester are sort of silly. but great.
class one: i half pay attention to what's going on, because i know most of it already, and look up every once and a while from my gchatting/doing work to see the professor make a dinosaur noise. or because he's using my name repeatedly in an example, because he knows i'm only half paying attention.
class two: we usually can't get by without obtaining some sort of candy. sometimes i get paid to go to class. and our professor sometimes tells us all about what makes him angry.
class three: i make myself look beat up...or like lion king characters
class four: um, we spend several hours a week developing a story that we're telling over all kinds of media. and it is taught by one very brilliant man.
class five: ended two weeks ago.

Say what you will about Lauren Laws
I am steadily learning to stand up for myself. So here I go:
I've been criticized for being obsessed with love. Well, so what? There are much, much worse things to be obsessed with than something that brings joy to millions and is a great attribute to have.
So, I'll say it again. I love love. I think it's fascinating and important. We should love everyone and not be afraid of feelings because they make us humans and there is enough reservation and coldness in the world, as is. Yes, I would sort of like to be in love, but I am aware now is not the time for that in my life.
I'm also sick of people trying to tell me how I should feel about certain people. "So-and-so is manipulating you" "I feel like he's stringing you along." "What are you even getting out of your relationship with her?" I realize that sometimes people get into sketchy situations with their relationships with other people. But I'm not a child and I'm not a solely emotion-based female that can't see past the wiles of men. Oh, and maybe you have no idea what my relationships are with these people because you've never actually seen us together?
In short, I'm a big girl. I've learned a lot about people over the years. And even if I haven't, let me make my own mistakes. I know these people are friends who love me and are trying to look out for me, but it makes me feel like I'm some baby that can't make her own decisions and needs someone big and strong to protect her. Wrong.
I know some of this is my own fault, sometimes I complain about people and give off the wrong impression. And I'll try and be better about that, but I think we all complain about the people we love. I've been gradually repenting of my dislike for people and have come to see the good in everyone. I think we are too quick to judge. "I heard this one thing about this person so it must be true and they must ALWAYS be like that." Wrong. People change and people are misrepresented and people have off days.
We need to be gentle with one another. And we need to LOVE. Ha, I tied this post back in to the beginning.

some weekend highlights.
Taking a picture.
"No one put their hand on my butt or I will laugh"
(at least two people proceed to do just that, one, I'm sure, was Jennie)
Waking up, after a 20 minute nap, with Jennie on top of me, thinking it was 5am, when it was actually 10pm. They had put green gels and (my) green bed sheets up to make the lighting green.
"What time is it when it's green outside?"
"Resting beauty.."
"Who's that, like Sleeping's cousin?"
"The prince comes and she's like, 'what? I was just resting.'"
Set building from 10pm-8am
"Nobody's even going to see this wall."
[move to next wall]
"Nobody's even going to see this wall."
etc.
Next day
"Nobody's even going to see this shell."
"You're one of those people that automatically bites their lip when they start dancing."
"I can't find the Plexiglas, because it's clear."
Carmen lays across all of us
"Guys, there's bacon in my pocket."
"Are they dating?"
"I think they are now."
"I love film sets."
"No one put their hand on my butt or I will laugh"
