| greedy ass parking attendants |
[Jul. 7th, 2006|03:32 am] |
so tonight i was riding the escalator up to my gym when i saw a crowd of people standing outside. let me preface this by saying that my gym is in this really cool building called the galleria. theres a theater, a cheesecake factory, a pf changs, a mac grill, an el torito grill, starbucks, robeks, fuddruckers, tower records, cute little clothing shops, etc... ANYWAY the crowd was for pirates... there was a 12:01 showing. i check the time. its 11:55. i think hmmm. i could go to the movie and then the gym... i stand there debating for a minute and just decide to go to the gym which was the wrong move.
im at the gym, running... 2/3 of the way to my goal when i notice like this weird flashing and what sounds like a siren coming from one ear that i dont remember ever hearing in that particular pearl jam song. then i notice everyone leaving really quickly. i turn off my radio and theres this automated voice that says "ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! THERE IS A FIRE IN THE BUILDING. PLEASE EVACUATE TO THE NEAREST EXIT!" I think COOL! and meander out of the building, get into my car, and as I'm leaving the parking garage the fucking parking attendants are making sure everyone's parking tickets are validated!!! are you kidding me?
ANYWAY so the gym wasnt going to reopen until 1:30 or 2 so i went to the save on down the street to buy some toiletries and other things i needed, then came back and sat in my car and read for an hour or so. then i went back and finished my workout.
as im leaving the gym for the second time, there is another huge crowd because pirates had just let out. i ran into this guy that i work with so we were walking to the parking garage chatting away and it turns out they were never evacuated. in fact they didnt hear a siren or anything... which makes me think the fire was in the gym... but its weird because the recording was playing outside the galleria too...
ANYWAY so as were walking there are a bunch of people from the movie talking and screaming about the end of the movie. now i dont want to say what i heard because most of you probably didnt go to a midnight show... but it would be the equivalent of someone walking out of the sixth sense and screaming "you cant have your main character being dead the entire time!!!" i just looked over at brian and said "guess i dont need to see it tomorrow afterall"
I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE RUIN MOVIES FOR ME. i shoulda just gone to the movie first, gym second. GRRRRR. |

| myspace is too commercial |
[Jul. 2nd, 2006|11:07 pm] |
hey guys so im back sorta. i feel like i have a lot to say but myspace has gotten so commercial, im gonna save that blog for the big deal stuff i need to say and resurrect my livejournal account for the everyday stuff.
basically, im sad. i miss my friends and all, but i think if i were in florida right now, i would still be sad. i need a man, ive decided. or a woman... just someone to hold me. hahaha. its been ENTIRELY too long.
anyways, so ive been writing a lot. not even short stories though, just little exercises from a book of writing prompts i bought that is turning out to be invaluable. and im about ready to re-tackle my pilot... i think. im basically just going to write the story that i wish i had for my own life. give myself all the things that i lost and the opportunities that i ignored before. it should be therapeutic if nothing else. |

| alias filming |
[Mar. 24th, 2006|05:31 pm] |
ok so this is so random and i only have 7 minutes so i must hurry.
california is fun. i get on a computer like once every 2 weeks so sorry if you think im ignoring you. but california is great, my job is alright, its finally warming up outside and i love it.
yes. i have march madness.
today alias was filming a scene on this random street in brentwood (not so random actually, jennifer garner lives on the street) and my inside sources told me about it so me and lindsey drove over there and walked up and down the street. i saw ken olin! that was cool. no one else was recognizable to me, although i bet if i werent trying to act so uninterested i might have been able to spot someone else.
anyway they werent actually filming, they were testing lighting and choreography or something like that, but it was cool anyways. |

[Jan. 24th, 2006|11:00 pm] |
i cant even do today's events justice in the short amount of time im going to spend on this entry but ask me... its not normal.
i ended up going on the other night. we tried a couple different bars but ended up at the same one... chimney sweep, where we stayed all night and ended up bringing the party back to the apartment... well it was sort of a different party... involving throwing bread at naked people on the street (LA is different, guys). but anyways then these guys that ambre knew came over and lindsey ended up getting to like second base with this guy practically on top of me (but i was innocently sleeping, so dont worry mom). wouldnt it be better if i had called emily?
then i bought a car on sunday where the car dealership man tried to pick popcorn off ambres stomach (weirdo) and i dont even know how to describe that night except it was one of the weirdest purchasing experiences i have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. then i drove my little logan home and voila now i have a car to get me lost on the streets of LA in. or atleast a car to stalk jennifer garner in, which is what i spent most of monday doing. heh heh. brentwood is pretty easy to navigate.
then today. olive garden was supposed to call me yesterday and they didnt so i just showed up today and said, whats up man? except i was afraid because all the employees were standing around like stepford wives smiling their perfect burbank smiles and holding up fingers for the number of every party and no servers were stepping out of the way or avoiding eye contact with the hosts when a mexican family walked into the door. it was weird. everyone was smiling in a creepy creepy way... you know like holding the smile even after the people walked away. 15 minutes of watching this and i thought i was going to have to leave or go get a drink from the bar or something and (luckily) the manager came to talk to me. he was just as weird and basically made this transition seem like it was going to be as difficult as possible. he asked me all these questions about my sales experience and told me that i came with the highest recommendations and blah blah blah and he looked forward to seeing what i could do. i laughed. he didnt.
so basically im supposed to come in friday for an audition... which i think i did FOUR YEARS AGO when i had to sell a packet of sweet n low. i wont do that again. its bullshit. if i wanted to get rehired, trust me, i would go somewhere else, which is what i think im going to do. cheesecake factory hires on wednesday so im going to take my 6 years serving experience and go there. away from the crazy tuscan farm house.
and thats that. you're welcome lindsey.
OH WAIT. also i spent more time at the library trying to pay my cell phone bill when there is a 15 minute limit and it took 15 minutes just to load the friggin page and so i didnt get to do it, which is why im on the computer at tabins apartment now online. so that i can still talk to the many friends that call me. thanks guys. (AHEM) |

| my first day in LA |
[Jan. 21st, 2006|10:16 pm] |
well i figured it would be a good idea to start updating again since there are so many people that i may not see for years at a time... thats a lot of catching up to do if i dont regularly update livejournal. plus i dont have a computer out here so when i do have access to the internet i should take advantage of it.
my flight was at 6 am yesterday so i had to be at the airport by 4:30. i didnt sleep, i stayed up all night packing. once i had checked my bags in with the lady, i started crying. i couldnt help it. i just realized how freaking scared i was. i have been so excited to come out here for months and now i was finally doing it and i never thought i would be so sad to leave but i was. i cried going through security (and i set the machine off -- two things that really flagged the guards' attention... i thought i was going to get taken into a back room or something). then when i sat down in the terminal to wait, i listened to jens cd and continued crying. i cried until i landed in chicago and got a text message from jen telling me not to be scared. and the rest of the trip was emotional but there were no more tears. i listened to all the CDs that were made for me and they were great, thanks guys. i landed in LA and waited at the airport for a few hours for lindsey to get off work. i bought a book from a hare krishna monk about finding yourself.
then last night we went to the chimney sweep and had a couple rounds of drinks before john wesley kennedy came up and kept buying us shots of jack (bleh) and then this guy who claimed he was in terminator 3, he had the line "were with you john" asked me if i was going to have sex with him and i told him no so he asked lindsey if she would and she didnt say no and they ended up making out, ambre went home with some guy who ended up coming back to the apartment, and then we went home to watch terminator 3 and we determined that the guy lindsey made out with was a liar.
today we went and looked at the apartment i want to live in and it is the absolute IDEAL apartment. i really hope that goes through, i will know in the next few days.
and were going out again tonight but i am so friggin tired i dont even know if im gonna last. |

| days are flying by |
[Jan. 8th, 2006|01:23 am] |
It seems like the more I start to notice time, the faster it goes by. I'm moving to California in 10 days and even though I can't wait, I have a feeling that in those 10 days, time isn't going to slow down like it used to when I was waiting for something like a birthday or Christmas. Instead these days are going to evaporate and I'm suddenly going to find myself waking up to an almost-packed-up room and a half dozen friends that I never said good-bye to. There's just so much to do to move for real... I mean I've never moved "for real" before. I've moved to Orlando and Gainesville, and Woodbridge Apartments which was a joke, but I've never actually had to worry about all the little important things that I have to now... opening bank accounts, closing bank accounts, adjusting all the addresses on my various accounts which is really hard considering I don't have a new address yet, packing (of course), numerous trips to goodwill, returning borrowed stuff, throwing out things that seemed priceless when I decided to save them but ultimately I don't have room for, selling furniture, buying a topper, planning a route/stops, preparing a good music selection for the drive (top priority), finishing up old projects (i.e. the alias quilt). I just have so much to do and only 2 days off between now and then (one of those days being tomorrow).
In December I found it surprisingly easy to save money, despite the expense of holidays. I just stopped drinking and stopped eating things that I didn't get from the grocery store. But since I set a date for the big move, its been really hard to keep up. I've been trying to spend as much time as possible with my friends - which usually translates to dinner and movies and I've been spending a lot of money each time, thinking this may be the last chance I have to catch lunch with so-in-so.
Everyone keeps asking me if I'm scared and I always answer, "no just excited." But the truth is, I'm terrified. Not of moving to a strange place or of driving crosscountry alone. I'm afraid of two things: failing financially which would prove my parents right by having to move back before I even have a chance at success. I'm also afraid that I will go out there and lose touch with my friends here.
My parents and I are fighting which sucks because I'm gonna end up leaving on bad terms. We had a huge fight several nights ago which was about on par to the one we had my senior year in highschool when I moved out. In addition, there is this situation at work involving Jen and this married couple of assholes and Jen is CLEARLY in the right (not just because she's my friend - everyone agrees and its not even a matter of opinion, its what those idiots did to her) and the managers aren't going to do anything. And its sorta upsetting everyone a lot. Its perfect timing though. If the situation at work and home sucks, then its definitely time I should be going....
----------
I've seen a few movies in the past month or so:
The Family Stone: liked it a lot
Narnia: good but coulda been a lot better, special effects sucked ass
Wolf Creek: everyone said it sucked but I actually liked it a lot... it made me really scared... they did a really good job of making me feel like that could happen to me, which no horror movie ever has for me
Derailed: alright, predictable, I love Melissa George
Just Friends: My new favorite movie to watch at Christmas time. Loved it (and was surprised about that)
Aeon Flux: Cool and all, but not a great movie
Hostel: thought it sucked and the only cool part was the last 10 minutes
Wow if those are the only movies I've seen in the past six weeks than I am truly pathetic. Like I said I've been saving money. There's a lot I have wanted to see... |

| weirdest dream ever |
[Nov. 21st, 2005|11:57 am] |
so i dreamt that i was on a trip with a bunch of people that i didnt really know. for some reason, i had talulah with me and was taking care of her. the trip was to new york but there was some sort of carnival going on in manhattan and there were all these rides everywhere. our hotel was near the ring of fire. we went to TRL (or some equivalent). during the break, this guy that we were with, jed, gets this girl to give us a bunch of tickets to interview winona ryder in the second half of the show. i have to go to the bathroom so i go off looking for it. talulah starts to act up and right as i find the bathroom she becomes very aggressive and starts biting me a lot and it starts to hurt and is really annoying so i end up turning her into a can opener (please dont even ask) and i hang her up in the bathroom. the toilet is really hard to figure out how to use. it looks more like a typewriter and the toilet paper comes out of where the paper comes out of a typewriter. i know that i have to get back soon so i just pee all over the keys and hope for the best. when i leave the bathroom, i am in a bedroom and some of the other people i am there with are there. were packing up our stuff and jed and one of the producers come running into the room. the producer says that jeds gonna do the interview himself but that we can still watch and he is going to include our names. he wants to know mine. i say sabrina and he seems to have a lot of trouble with it. i tell him just to call me audrey. that my name is audrey sabrina. so we leave and i get back to the studio and realize that i left talulah hanging in the bathroom. i go to get her and that weird girl from kacy's shower is there taking her clothes off. i grab talulah and put her in my purse, not really wanting to bother turning her back into a dog.
apparently we have a longer break than anticipated. we go to walmart and sit in the clothing section and wait. then im sitting on a bench outside with ashley and mr. schism. we are reading a book and mr. schism is talking about how well the sentences balance out. he reads a couple lines and then repeats them and highlights them. see? he asks. sure, i say. i ask him if he highlights when he reads for fun. he seems offended like im making fun of him and i feel bad but i laugh anyway. ashley asks mr. schism some question about some book she'd read in college that i had never read. he seemed really pleased that one of his students had read that book and they have an indept conversation about it. then we are back in the studio. during the second half of the show, i realize that i am really drunk off champagne... ?
were walking through manhattan trying to find our way back. we find the ring of fire but there is a small show going on behind it and we have to walk through it in order to get back to the hotel. the show is really small and i wonder why we cant just walk around to avoid being rude, but everyone else walked through it and i didnt want to get lost, so i did too. the guy putting on the show starts making sarcastic comments "where are you going?" and "thats ok, im not making a living here or anything." he gets fed up because there are so many of us and right as im passing, he grabs my ass then starts screaming at me and puts me in a headlock. i bite his arm and punch him in the face. he is knocked onto the ground and i tell him if he ever touches my ass again, i will slit his throat. and i run off. i get in my car and drive away and suddenly im driving at night in antioch and i can still feel the champagne.
im at home with my mom. she has trl tivoed. i watch it telling her im not gonna be on it, that jed got to do the interview and i realize that i cant even remember him ever interviewing her. someone had told me that jed just read the questions into a camera and they put in the footage of winona ryder later. but in the episode i am there. im almost laying in this big comfortable chair and talulah is licking my face and jed goes, im here with my friends so-in-so and audrah... audreeh. he never got it right. but then they show me in that big chair with talulah licking my face and i laugh and say "oh jed" and everyone in the audience laughs. |

| here i am |
[Nov. 21st, 2005|12:19 am] |
1. im still alive. working and saving, trying not to eat or drink a lot because that makes me fat and poor.
2. been doing a great job staying up-to-date on alias (obviously), lost and reunion. alias is on its way to actually being a really good season (if it continues the turnaround it started). lost is as good as ever, but i cant seem to love it because the better lost is, the worse alias is because j.j's attention is divided between the two. and i hold that against the show.
3. kacy's bridal shower was this weekend and i got drunk and passed out watching the alias pilot with georgia. yes, i keep the box sets in my car for such purposes.
4. decided that im gonna start writing scripts ASAP. any ideas or suggestions for show ideas, hit me up.
5. only like 6 weeks! |

| holly golightly and the longest day of the year |
[Oct. 31st, 2005|12:31 am] |
so i went as holly golightly for halloween. this guy danny from work threw a party and so a bunch of us went and had a blast. i wore a long black dress, big black sunglasses, melissa did my hair all up (it looked fantastic), and long black gloves. i even had a long cigarette holder. everything was really cute. the night started out sorta disastrously which should have been a sign... my dress didnt fit. not even close.
ahh anyways. the party was byob so i had a bottle of vodka. chasers? what? no just vodka. i did steal a couple of olives from dannys fridge though. needless to say, i got HAMMERED. and when i say hammered, i mean like POUNDED in so far that you cant even see the head of the nail. hmm this is starting to sound sexual... maybe not. anyways.
afterwards the party sorta moved to quench (the only club in brandon). thats when things started to get interesting. adina was handing out bottles of beer left and right, this guy started making out with my back telling me i was the most beautiful thing hed ever seen, i tipped the bathroom attendant $3, and then... i fell. i was sitting on this really high barstool type thing and i leaned over to say something to someone and the entire chair fell over. my legs had been wrapped around the chairlegs, so i was stuck on it when it fell, so when i hit the ground, there was no catching myself, just a solid thud. witnesses say i fell on my face, but my own recollection which isnt to be trusted has me landing on my arm. this story holds up though because my arm has been in agony all day. but anyways this happened ON THE DANCE FLOOR and strangers came up to me throughout the night asking me if i was ok.
i ended up getting sick. sat outside for like 45 minutes. finally went back to sarahs house and slept on her couch after getting attacked by her dog.
AND THEN TODAY... longest day of my life. woke up at 10... hungover. watched a few episodes of laguna beach with sarah. then she took me to my car. came home and got ready for work. got lunch. went to kerrys house to watch thursdays alias since i had missed it for halloween horror nights, then went to work. everytime i looked at my clock (before, during and after work) it seemed like time was creeping by. it was horrible. i hope it doesnt stay like this until i adjust to the time change.
then i went and bought alias season 4. dont you already have that dee? why yes, i do. but my bootleg version doesnt have the special features.
plan for tomorrow: wake up and get breakfast at mcdonalds. lay back in bed and spend the rest of the day watching into the west until kerry gets off work. then tennis for a few hours. then sleep. no crazy halloween plans for me. |

| bowling shoes |
[Oct. 23rd, 2005|12:08 pm] |
this week has been interesting to say the least. adina and i are organizing an olive garden bowling league (inspired by the good times that were my birthday party). we went monday for hospitality night and again tuesday for the hell of it. these guys taught us how to spin the ball... you know when it looks like they are just throwing it randomly down the lane, but they are actually precisely calculating their next strike. so cool, i can do that now... sorta. anyways tuesday adina and i got really drunk and i ended up stealing bowling shoes. when i woke up wednesday morning for work, i was still wearing them and couldnt find my real shoes OR my drivers license. found them that night though... they were under my bed. whew.
anyways our arms have been soooo sore. yesterday was the first morning i woke up and they didnt hurt anymore. hopefully playing tennis today before the weather gets bad.
maybe see a movie.
next week is eventful. halloween horror nights on thurs and the OG costume party on sat. |

| ONE ART |
[Oct. 14th, 2005|12:59 am] |
one art
by elizabeth bishop
the art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something everyday. accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.
--Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster. |

| the drunk bitch strikes out once again |
[Oct. 14th, 2005|12:36 am] |
so here's my story. worked a lunch shift today. went to bennigans and drank a few beers "to avoid traffic" (sounds like an alcoholics excuse if you ask me) went with ashley on a secret mission that i cannot discuss here in this PUBLIC FORUM IN WHICH ANYONE IN THE WORLD COULD READ, and then went home to watch alias. it was a particularly good episode tonight and a particularly bad one. it was good in the fact that it moved forward a little bit and bad in that it made me cry in the first ten minutes as have all the episodes this season and i think im a bit lame and that this season isnt as good as the rest which makes me even lamer.
after pondering this for a few minutes following the episode, i drove to the local theater to partake in some more beer and more on screen entertainment. i saw IN HER SHOES which is a fantastic book and a sucky movie. they managed to leave out every part of the book that i absolutely loved (although they did include the best part... this poem i love which i will post immediately after this post as long as me drunken ADD doesnt distract me. the worst part of the movie though was the casting. the only person casted right for their role was toni collette. cameron diaz was doable since i knew the entire time reading the book it was supposed to be her... although it shoulda been a brunette like say angelina or... dare i say... demi (thats a joke, anglelina woulda been the best). anyways i was brooding over casting the entire time and they raced through the first 400 pages of the book in the first half hour which pissed me off.
ANYWAYS.... as i was pissing the pitcher of beer i drank after the movie, the manager shut all the power off which included the bathroom lights which meant i was left the stumble in the dark. now my first thought was to run to mugs to steal all their chicken wings. but when i came out of the bathroom there was a hot guy standing by the box office apologizing profusely for turning the lights out while i was still in there. "he didnt know anyone was still there" he said. he being the cute guy. did i say that already. by cute i mean, that there is a fine line between my approval and outta my league and there this guy was....somewhere in between. interesting. we got to talking as he walked me to my car. hes taking the bitch's place. apparently "maureen" the minnesotan bitch from HELL got one too many bad calls to corporate and is no longer a carmike employee (heh heh hehe STUPID BITCH). any ways i was drunk though and managed to somehow tip this guy off to that by THROWING my keys across the parking lot.
why am i a loser? |

| 1 more day of 22 |
[Oct. 8th, 2005|11:48 am] |
ok since none of you LOSERS commented on my last post about places to go and who all wants in, i had to make the call based on my real friends. you know, the ones that actually talk to me in real life. so we have super fun plans for tonight and tomorrow but you wont know about them unless you call....
anyway... been having a pretty good time. worked friday to friday everyday with only 2 shifts off in there (that is a whole helluva lot to work-- and a bunch of doubles). after work last night i was exhausted but me and sarah e drove to PC to CJ's tavern to watch calebs band play. we got there right as the band was carrying their amp out to their car :( what is it with these bands starting on time??? so we didnt want sarahs trip out here to be a waste so we went to PC applebees where she got to meet jay and ejack and all the regulars. we had a lot of fun. then i slept at her and kimmys apartment with heather. we all figured that one of us would wake up in time for our early morning meeting. anyways we had a good time and i love all three of them and im so glad that i really like some of the girls i work with.... didnt really have that in ocala.
tonight is gonna be so much fun. i made shirts and everything :) hahaha |

| the alias premiere and my revival revival |
[Sep. 30th, 2005|01:24 pm] |
last night was.... so weird.
went to gainesville and ate dinner at stonewood with ashley, chris, melissa and jen. stonewood was my favorite restaurant up there. just driving around town was weird... being a graduate and not living there and having all these students around that go there and not being one of them... it was just really weird. i probably won't go back often, it made me too sad. after dinner we went back to chris' so i could watch alias. drank some wine and watched the premiere... MELISSA DONT READ THIS IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. everyone that watched it with me (none of them like the show) were all like "oh gee deanna, it looks like vaughn is dead" because i kept saying, no hes not dead i promise, i promise, i know for a fact he's not dead. and next thing you know we're at a funeral service. i wish i could watch it again... theres so many things i would like to pay more attention too. it was actually a horrible watching condition, there were spanish subtitles we couldnt get to go away, 4 dogs jumping ALL over me and barking, people screaming and playing foosball behind us and people asking me questions and talking through the entire thing. i wanted to scream.
but i know for a fact that he is not dead and i think that this might actually turn out to be a really good season. i read an interview with jj abrams and he said all this stuff about the vaughn storyline being central this season and that even if vaughn "isn't in the episode you're watching, doesn't mean that he's not very much a part of it." so i cant wait until next thursday.
after the show we drank some more, played some foosball and then went to the show. we had to wait around for a couple hours before they started but there was free beer so i didnt mind. jen didnt seem to be having a good time which sucked. also ashley m, allison, jared and mat apparently left before the show even started and didnt say goodbye or anything. weird. rude. so i just proceeded to get very drunk. revival was good, not as good as i remembered, but it was just an experience to see them up there. i just kept thinking.... this is the band that made my college experience. they were so important to us that year and i was just soo soooo glad that i got to see them perform again.
on the ride home, jen was mad i could tell. i was gonna stay awake and talk to her but kris called her and they were talking so i passed out. apparently at some point in the drive i woke up, grabbed her purse and dumped everything out of it and then just clutched it to my chest for the rest of the drive.
weird night. feel sorry for everyone that had to work this morning. i feel crappy enough as it is, having to work at 4. |
