It's My Birthday
Yes, today is my birthday. Again. And now I'm over that hump of just starting to be old and actually being old as old news. I'm trying to take the day gracefully, but to be honest, I'm less worried about my age and more about making the next year better than the last. Because we all know the last year sucked balls. And not in a good way.
So far it has been a good day. I worked very early this morn, and even though it was a little bit hectic, no one yelled at me and my cohort for the day, who happened to be Boy B, was very nice and helped me do a lot of stuff. Mostly heavy lifting and reaching things on really high shelves, but he also made me laugh and generally hung out with me so I didn't have to work as hard. He also said he has a present for me, but I left before he did, so I haven't gotten it yet. And he will probably not venture out to the brithday dinner, as he has some family issues that are more important (really).
Lots of people have called me, including my mom, which is nice. I never know how my parents are going to handle my birthday, because some years they don't call, some years I get a check for fifty bucks, and some years I get a card from a box of cards that's blank on the inside and is just signed by one of them. They actually both signed it this year, which means they must be getting along (mostly).
I shopped myself into a little black dress yesterday, and today I bought some earrings, so I should be ready. I would have bought shoes, but it's just not in the budget at the moment.
I also shopped for filming locations, and the film commission has a color copier that I can use for free. I wish I would have known that a long time ago. Still, I found some great stuff, and now I just have to make some calls, turn on the charm, and hope for charity. Wish me luck.
I'm temping tomorrow at a place that requires me to do exactly two things: answer the phone, and buzz people in. I don't even know what kind of company it is, but it's only for one day, so I think I can handle it. Other than that, I don't have any work for the next week, which sucks financially, but should allow me to get caught up on school and the movie. I'm trying to stay in movie mode so I don't lose interest and steam right when I need it the most. I find that I get most excited about the whole thing when people ask me how it's going. Or just ask me about it in general. There seems to be a small circle of people that are very interested in seeing the final product (mostly school people, but that's ok). Whether it's because it's one of the few films coming from that school that is being shot on 35mm film or because it's me or because I went to Colorado; I don't know, but people are interested. Or at least curious.
Anyway, I need to shower before the big dinner. Hibachi this year (which I did for my 25th, but this year will be much better than that one).
