Or something or rather.

Haven't updated in a surprising amount of time, because I am back home and being back home is awesome. I am simply going to bawl at the idea of leaving again.

Been doing all of nothing including absorbing copious amounts of Breaking Bad and Angel and playing Guitar Hero and it is rad. Had a, perhaps, too good time with the homies on Saturday. They can attest to that.

Aunt's here. More family's coming for Christmas. Good times. I normally hate Christmas, but this is pretty dece. Cut my dog's hair yesterday. He's handsome again.

Sherlock Holmes is out on Christmas. Fuck. Yes.

I uploaded my Dexter spec in case anyone wants to be awesome and read it, because that is what the last four months of my life have gone into. If it sucks, don't tell me.

Been thinking about some pwnsome scenes for Family Matters, and it's gonna be intense. I'm a little concerned about keeping the dream sequences now though, because they might be excessive what with fantasies and possible flashbacks (to Holy Water!)... I'll write them out anyway. They're easy enough to kill. I'm gonna start writing this sometime this week, hopefully get the first act done.

I was going to get some work done, arts wise, but I like giving myself a brain break, so fuck it. I'm a douchebag and I like it.

My post-finale reaction: OH SHIT SON.
I shall say no more.

Also, the live interview with John Lithgow on Facebook was hella sweet.

---
Just got back from my aunt's Francophone Christmas party and I am pretty much never eating again. And I had... Benediction? Which is basically like drinking 100% tea tree oil. Does wonders for the sinuses, at any rate.

Iced cream date (?) went well, I think. Turns out Cody is actually pretty quiet and low-key like me, so it suddenly makes a lot more sense why Elsa would try to hook me up with him. We basically walked around downtown for two hours and he bought blank stickers to make graffiti thingers for Christmas presents. Then we loitered in Futureshop, looking at all the movies we definitely had no money to buy. 8D The only real date-like quality of thing was at the end he was all, "Wanna hug?" and I was all "8DDD D'AWW." Such a cute kid. Anyway. Idk. Two weeks of Christmas break an we'll see what happens afterwards. Hmm.

Tomorrow's gonna be lame. Checking over/editing my 6 Dialogue pages, 2nd Draft treatment, and my entire Dexter script. Pretty much all for monday because I have to get ready to move next week.

Finally got in touch with the actors. Only three people have viewed the apartment so far: One was creepy, one was old, one was arrogant. Guess I'm leaning towards the arrogant one...? What does it mean when an ACTOR thinks someone is arrogant? I don't know. I'm arrogant towards actors. Fuck that. He's supposed to get in touch with me at some point, according to Luc. I don't know why. I'm not in charge, goddamnit. If he wants the place, give it to him, for Chrissake.

I am cold. Shiver.

Listen to "Baby, it's cold outside" and lawl at the date-rape qualities of the lyrics. I dare ya. "Say, what's in this drink?"

...Doing Them


Figure out my big All is Lost moment for Cameron when she finds out, lo and behold, that daddy's a serial killer AND that he's the elusive man she met on the bus, somehow, AND figure out some infinitesimally more mentor-like things for Allegron to say, and figure out how to cut my treatment back down to 25 pages. Get this done before Friday, even though I think I was wrong, and the treatent is actually due Monday, but I will have no time whatsoever to do anything this weekend. Edit Dexter spec one final time before submitting the full version on Monday, which I'm not worried about, because my instructor loves it. Consider uploading a PDF. Get pleasantly smashed after the movie and ~Sombraro-o-doom's 18th birthday tomorrow and forget how life is complicated for awhile. Get woken up at 7AM on Saturday, because my insane landlady is having someone view the apartment at this time. Resist the urge to warn this person that she is 100% crazy. Figure out if/how/what is going on with Cody in the short period of time I have before I'm whisked off to my aunt's for her very French Christmas dinner gathering potluck thing. Have absolutely no time to get anything done. Call up Luc and Kristine and yell at them for being absent when they were supposed to be home for a viewing themselves, FOR THE SECOND TIME, while trying not to express my supreme dislike for irresponsible actors. Hope their lazy Russian landlord doesn't tire of their incompetence and gyp ME out of a home because then I will be infinitesimally fucked. Keep hoping that one of these Craigslist people is desperate enough to take the third room that they really shouldn't need to be desperate for, but such time crunching would indicate that that is not the case. Pack up all my shit, with the hope that come January, there will still be a place to put my shit. Read and critique three treatments on Monday for Tuesday. Maybe have Dialogue homework. Weep hysterically if I haven't by this time. Move my shit with the hope that it will not be moved again. Pack for going home for Christmas. Fingers crossed. Forget life sucks.

And for the last time, DA, I am not fucking Joy.

The apartment thing is getting gross and complicated but I'm not going to talk about.

Instead I'm going to marvel over the fact that I think I just got asked out on an ice cream date. You read that right. This is actually the cutest kid in the known universe. I'm going to weep if I corrupt that.

--
Don't read this if you don't care about my personal life. 8D

In short: Stop me from making decisions while intoxicated, mkay?

Seriously, I don't know what's going on in the wonderful world of me right now. Life's confusing. I spent an hour and a half yesterday talking to the guy Elsa wants to hook me up with on FB. He invited me to his sketch comedy night, but of course it's 19+, and they check ID at school functions. Uh yeah. She seemed eager to try to get me into that too. I'm confused by her motivations. Maybe she heard I was chronically single. Hrm. Cody and I don't exactly have a hell of a lot in common, other than the fact that we're both under 20, and yet, it wouldn't hurt to get at least some kind of relationship-ish experience under my belt. This sounds like a game. I feel guilty. The guy I actually do like who's 9 years older than me offered to help me move things into my new apartment. But he regularly tells me how he isn't into the whole social/dating scene, which makes me think he's just being friendly. And yet that doesn't stop him from regularly carrying out hour long conversations with me on FB. Men are lame.

Dropped my Dec rent for my new apartment this weekend, so it's official. Dec 16, I am GONE from this loonybin. Of course, I am left feeling broke this month, because my landlady still demands a full month's rent, and my dad doesn't want her to use the check we gave her from his account, so the money comes out of mine, so after that I will simply be broke. Good fun. Who needs food anyway? I'll be at home in a couple weeks for Christmas, anyway.

I emailed a bunch of people about the third room, because they still haven't found someone. And I'm meeting the new landlords tonight. Apparently they're pretty cool though.

Treatment crunching this week. Can't wait. Seriously. I enjoy working on this story. I'll post the pdf when I'm done if anyone wants to check it out. Same with Dexter, after I finish editing.

Speaking of Dexter, last night? Holy eff. I'm so pumped for the finale like you don't even know. I about jizzed in my pants.

Twitter is funny. I've been following some actors and people and they actually seem normal from their tweets, and then they get sooo much flack for just cracking certain jokes it's unbelievable. Gotta feel bad for them having to censor themselves constantly for the nitpicky public, srsly.

So. I'm not sleeping this weekend. 8D

I've sort-of outlined the majority of my remaining Dexter scenes, but trying to figure out the actual dialogue and timeline (because wth, this takes place over two days and three nights and seems obscenely quick for test results, even in TV land ) is just a nightmare. Maybe if I just write some awesome scenes no one will notice this small flaw. Huh. Anyway, that's due on Monday, at 1pm, meaning Sunday at midnight or whenever I go to bed.

Speaking of Dexter, I finally got caught up. Holy fuck. The latest four or five episodes = soooooo flippin' amazing. Definitely the best season yet, I've decided.

Had my treatment workshop today and it went pretty well. I have a lot to do with my second act, but everything else is reasonably all right. My instructor seemed really excited about the whole concept and the twisted ending, so I was happy with that. I really want to start on my second draft now, but I have to finish Dexter first. D: Grrr.

Inadvertantly, roughly everything I've written for school so far has ironically had something to do with a murderer/serial killer. Someone should probably get worried soon. Anyway. Looks like I've found myyyy niche.

Time goes too fast when I'm doing homework. Fuck me. It's 9 already and I've barely accomplished anything. Sigh.

And for Chrissake, DA, fix your goddamned drop-down menus.
