EXTRAvagant.

If I had an extra casting agency that's what it'd be called. Heh.

Today I registered with Central Casting and then Extras Management .

Pretty normal day except that while I was standing in line for my picture at Central I overheard the beautiful girl in front of me witnessing to the tattooed man in front of her! I was tearing up! I introduced myself to her when he stepped away and told her how her conversation inspired me to look for more opportunities to show God's love and truth to the people I meet. "Now I know why I really came today." She said, and told me he had asked her and her friend to pray with him afterwords to receive Christ. I also got her number so hopefully we'll get together sometime and I'll have a friend besides the other CCM graduates I live with. heh.

Then while I waited for 30 minutes again for a bus, I talked with a man named Chief (who used to drive JewelTheSinger & Francis Ford Coppala around in a limo) and after chatting for awhile asked him if there was anything I could keep in prayer for him.

Um. Then I came home and ate spaghetti and drank coffee from my wonderful french press.

I'm trying to get someone to watch Popeye (yes with Robin Williams) with me some night soon!

Meh...

Only been here a few days but I feel like I'm drrrraggin. I know I have to just get through all the 'settin up camp' type stuff. Unpacking...groceries...headshots...bus schedules...switching bank accounts. It's all so tedious! But it must be done. Hopefully soon I'll be settled and organized enough to start hunting down work! I have started checking out craigs list and casting organizations my friends have recommended to me. And Monday & Wednesday I already have some extra work on a Nike commercial thanks to Broc. I think I'm going to be in a crowd at a basketball game or something. Hah. Here we go! Or...I go....here I go?!

California Girl

Well, things are taking a bit of a turn. I've been telling everyone all year that I was preparing to move to the East Coast (And someday I still hope to! NYC still has my hear.) But it seems God had a different idea (as is often the case). And now this girl who claimed LA just wasn't for her...is moving to LA...tomorrow.

This has been the hardest year of my life, and now I am so blessed to be able to move into an apartment complex in a great location of Studio City with 10 friends from The Center for Creative Media, which I graduated from last December.

I'll be posting videos of the apartment soon. If I had taken tours if every apartment in the neighborhood I doubt I would have found one more suited for me. It's like a dream. There's a little courtyard with a fountain and foliage climbing and blooming all around. And the apartments have fun vintage bathrooms that add such character to the place. I love it.

Anyways. Tomorrow I leave on the train at 11:45am...and I arrive in LA at 9pm.
Here's to the next chapter of my life. The last one was very dark...I'm betting this one will be brilliant.
