Randomness in a Bucket

Sometimes when a library book becomes old and starts to fall apart, the library will put tape on it to preserve its longevity. And if the person who's taping the book isn't paying attention, you'll sometimes end up with precious little gems like this:

Say what???

Today I heard my mom say for the first time ever:

"I freaked out when I found out it cost $20!"

She got "freaked out". Mom is becoming hip.

Random tidbit:

At an audition, I met another actor whose name is Hugh Mun. If you say his name really fast, it sounds like "human". His parents were geniuses!

Am I'm a Loser???

How come the majority of people that go to the gym on Saturday nights are Asian??? My presence isn't helping those statistics either. I know why I'm at the gym on a Saturday night: I'm single and am not quite ready to start dating yet. I'm not quite sure how I feel about becoming part of the gymnasium "Asian Invasion", as my mother so eloquently calls a homogenous room of Asians.

On a positive note, I've been cast in two films!!! One is a paying low budget SAG and the other is a student film. I don't know too many details yet, but I have officially been offered the roles. What's interesting about both films is that I had been called back for lead roles in both, and didn't book the role I had been called back for in either. For the low budget SAG, I was offered a smaller and featured role. I'm fine with that because the role that I was originally up for consists of full nudity. Not being naked in a film is most definitely fine with me! In the student film, I'm not exactly sure of the size of the role, but I'm happy to just have booked something. So more to come when I have more info. But woot! I'm gonna have more footage for a reel! Mental note: Stay on top of producer for footage from the film I did this past Dec.

This may be a small amount of good news, but I'll take it! (Especially considering the stagnant and crappy times we're currently going through.)

Eharmony ... and Other Tid Bits

I know it's been a while since I've written anything up here. I kind of feel like life has been boring, but then I remember that I've only been back in LA for 2 months - I suppose that in actuality, a lot has happened. I literally just rambled ... you still with me???

So the above little bit was a little bit of a lie. A lot has happened to me emotionally. Noel and I are doing well and the boy from NY is now completely out of my life - yes ... the thing with the NY guy from back in Dec just dragged on and it's now finally over and done with. *rolls eyes* Yes, I do have my own "kill brain cells" moments. I guess I'm one of those people who doesn't like to air my dirty laundry out in the open. Suffice it to say, I had allowed myself to feel emotionally beaten up for about a week and a half and now a week and a half later, I'm feeling significantly better! I will say that break ups definitely become easier after the first one. (What would you say I'm on ... #2 1/2??? Well, I've definitely gone through 2 significant ones.)

For the most part, I've been just working, submitting myself to what ever acting projects that are going on, and auditioning. I have been temping with this non-profit, KYDS (Keep Youth Doing Something). They basically fund after school programs for low-income kids and work with schools in the LA Unified School District and the valley. It's been keeping me occupied but the biggest surprise was that they asked me if I was interested in teaching acting classes to middle school/high school kids. I thought about it and realized, I need money ... and I need something to do because with this economy, nothing is going on!!!! So I said yes, I was interested. And then I realized, "I don't know how to teach!!!! I've never taught an acting class before!!!! What the hell am I gonna do?!?!?!" So if anyone has any suggestions, please give me a heads up!!!! I haven't gotten the job yet, but I know that my boss is actually looking for a school in their jurisdiction that has an opening.

On the lighter side of things, I did something impulsive. One of the things that I tend to do when recuperating from a break up is do to something that's just out of character. This time, I joined Eharmony. Hahahaha! Well, I was curious!!!! Let me tell you, I was officially over the whole experience after 2 days. I am by no means judging others who use Eharmony because it has actually worked for people. What ever comments I make are a reflection from my own personal experience. It quickly became very clear that Eharmony was not for me. The website claims to match you to people based on "compatibility". I'm not really sure what that means, but the website has matched me up with really nerdy guys. I haven't decided if I've been matched with these guys because personality-wise I am nerdy myself, or if it's because most of the men on Eharmony are nerds. I mean, I will be the first person to tell you that I am a self-proclaimed nerd. I am totally content geeking it up for hours on the internet and I love Spike and the Sci-Fi Channel because they feed my closeted "Star Trek: The Next Generation" addiction. But those aren't quite the qualities I'm looking for in the other person. One good thing that Eharmony does is force you to look at yourself (and it's not like I don't do that enough already - I'm an actor and my world evolves around me. I kid, I kid!) in the context of how you view potential romantic partners. I've come to the realization that when it comes to men, I'm pretty arrogant. I know that I will demand a lot and I think I know what I want in my partner (give me a guy with a nice face and broad shoulders ;0P ). So basically I've concluded that assholes are good for me. It is a double-edged sword though because assholes will have the guts to be able to deal with me, but at the same time ... they're assholes! Hahaha!

All my joking and shenanigans aside, I am quite content to be single right now. I guess technically, I've been completely single for a little under a month. I'm not really in a rush to be with anyone and I'm content to wait until I meet someone who meets my standards (arrogance kicking in now!). So life is ... well I'm not going to lie, it's kinda ... meh ... I'm not really feeling content or fulfilled, but c'est la vie! I guess things can only go up from here!
