about me

Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote

  • "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Warm Fuzzies

March 24, 2005

Since I resigned from my volunteer job, I’ve received a lot of warm notes from different people I’ve interacted with over the years. I am really touched that they took the time to say goodbye to me. The majority of the well-wishers were not other staff members though, and that surprised me a little bit since the staff members are the only ones who really got to know me as a person. Or maybe I shouldn’t be surprised that they didn’t have fond wishes for me since they were the only ones who really got to know me as a person. Hmm…

Anyway, the well-wishers have said their part, and so I think it’s time for me to put that part of my life behind me and look forward to other things. Dwelling on how much I miss it only makes it harder.

Moving forward, I have 7 hours until we shoot the film tonight. Yes, I am counting. My character is an angry person, so I’ve tried to have angry thoughts this morning to get ready for tonight. The roleplaying game that I’ve mentioned before was a really great place for me to practice character development. When I played, I liked to completely immerse myself in my character. I wonder if I take things too far sometimes.

When we rehearsed last week, the other actors got tired of being there. One kept checking her email. One was constantly on the phone between scenes. One kept complaining about having to try things different ways. To me, a few of them seemed very unprofessional. Don’t get me wrong, I know this isn’t a Hollywood film or anything, but I feel that if you make a commitment to do something like this, you should act like a professional. Or at the very least, you should try to show a little respect to the person in charge.

I hate bringing up the age difference thing, but I wonder if maybe this is a case of these early 20-somethings not taking things seriously. I mean no offense to my early 20-something readers who don’t fit this description, but it seems you are the exception rather than the rule, no?

The good news about my part of the film being nearly completed is that you all won’t have to keep reading about THE FILM over and over and over again. I’m thinking we’re nearing less than 5 more entries about it. :)

    I don’t mind reading about THE FILM at all. It’s actually quite interesting. I’d love to see it. Think you’ll get some copies of it? Could you sell them through your website?

    I hate to disappoint, Sis, but last night, I most definitely did suck. I’ll talk more about that later.

    Oz, my director said I will get a copy of the film. Yay! I don’t know if I can put it up on the website or not. It’s pretty long. If I can figure out a way to do it, maybe I’ll just show some of the cheesier parts. It will be difficult to choose among the smorgasbord of cheese though.

    Welcome, Claudblog! You’re site’s very funny. I’m sure I’ll be revisiting soon.

    Well, early 20-somethings as sophisticated and mature as myself are indeed a rare breed. :p

    Perhaps your website attracts a higher class of young adult?

It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
