Tonight I saw a friend's senior fashion show. Last night, another friend's film premiered at a real theater. So impressed. I have been working on my demo reel for prospective employers. My last work screened at the University? Questionable, sap-suckery with no technical skill. The majority of my projects? Would have benefitted from a healthy dose of tweaking. Meanwhile, none of my things were ever screened as special thesis pieces. Its the same thing I've been thinking about for a while, like how I should have attended art & design instead of film & video because I'd still have been able to attend film and video but probably have gained more confidence at a & d. But lets be honest, my inability to draw may have stunted it the same way I felt stunted camera-side.
Bottom line: I need to make new things. I need to create and share my work.
Also tonight I was called out, maybe. Allegedly there are rumors going about, and by default I am the rumor-maker. Normally, I would feel guilt or triumph, but on this rare occasion I am quite hurt. I didn't say anything to anyone. Its so strange to worry so much about what people think, especially when you didn't really worry so much a little while ago. The other night I met up with a bunch of friends, but left early because it really wasn't my scene. I don't think I was ever a part of it, but occasionally I dress up and chat at the right table. I was wearing black stretch pants and a tee shirt. Not really dressy at all.
Bottom line: I need to leave this whole Ypsilanti-Ann Arbor thing. I need to meet new people.
A few weeks ago I was given the threat of being called The Bakery. I won't elaborate too greatly but know that The Bakery eats family-sized bags of Cheetos at a local gym, while giving away cheese-stained basketballs to patrons. The Bakery is the opposite of small. I was told, "No offense, but fat people..." Additionally, I was told I should start working out or face the frightening possibility of being the next to cut my wrists with chili-can lids. My first thought is that this person really shouldn't be considered my friend anymore. It was worse when the homeless man was refused change and hollered at me a half block down, shouting, "Ooh yeah! I meannnn it! You're so hot! Damn! Let me get that!"
Bottom line: I need to work out more. I need to eat healthy like its my job.
