*squishes tiff*
*demands presence on AIM*
Aww, I missed you guys! *wallows in everyone's presence*
I'll be on AIM momentarily. I just got home from dinner.
And I hope I'm still coming! The money's not really rolling in yet (I start an internship with my local MLA - think the provincial equivalent of a senator - tomorrow!) and I'm getting more worried.
*is really excited*
any chance of either of you ladies being able to come out here in September-ish?
Come out where?? Won't you be in NYC with Nik by then?
I'm here until late September.
I haven't talked to Siv in over 2 weeks!
*faints*
B-b-but, WHY?? Did the arrangement with Molly and her mom not turn out? Will I still have a place to stay in October? (I mean, let's get our priorities straight here - it's MOI! Oh, I jest.)
Because I have the lead in a show that runs until September 18. And you can still stay with me, I'm just not sure where that is going to be.
*glares at AIM buddy list because YOU ARE NOT ON*
*loves you both*
*loves Nik a bit more than Siv, since I've evidently been sucking up to the wrong person*
Nik, I started watching "Lost"! And you know what? It's actually GOOD! Even Pudgy McHobbit! I'm addicted! (Thank god for reruns this summer!)
Siv, which show is this? Rabbit or Barefoot? (You were auditioning for Barefoot, right?)
I'll be on AIM in a sec!
PUDGY?? You speak thus about my husband? Actually, I've lost respect for him. He's been dating Evangeline and apparently he cheated on her because he slept with a friend's friend a month ago. One night stand.
It's barefoot. I'm Corie.
Rabbit opened last week, and runs until July 16. Barefoot owns my soul as of the 18th.
Pudgy McHobbit can get laid? With Evangeline?? (She's gorgeous! And a Vancouverite, to boot!)
What channels can you watch where you see commercials for strip clubs? Hey, speaking of which, I might be taking a pole-dancing class with the stripper who apparently may have busted up Bennifer Uno! I hear it's a real workout, which is the only reason I'm doing it. (Obviously the only reason, since I'm still sadly alone and desolate - oh! Oh! But that almost changed! Did I tell you?? Did I?)
So then, missy, does that mean you won't be able to come to Vancouver? B-b-but, I'm thisclose to getting onto The L Word! I was called from a million productions last week and had to turn them down because I was already committed to other ones! That was one of them!
Fine, then. Leave me, bitches!
]
Sorry, mom yelling at me.
Yes, he can get laid! By lots of people.
You're not alone???
And no, I can't get to Vancouver I am sorry. Or were you talking to Siv?
Er, yes. Yes, I was talking to you. You can't come to Vancouver? I'm devastated.
Psst, Siv - who does she think she's kidding?
TELL ME DAYS AND I'LL BE THERE, BEEHOTCH.
Tiffy's a liar.
And you almost got someone???? TELL TELL TELL.
I'm not lying! I'm devastated that Nik's not coming to Vancouver. (Or in Vancouver, for that matter. These magic fingers...I tell ya, lady...)
How quickly could you come up if I get called for L Word again? They called me, like, the day before the shoot (typical), but at most, I might get like, a weekend's notice.
I almost got someone! Well, actually THREE someones! And they all tried to get ME! One's name is Todd. When I was PAing on 'John Tucker', he approached me and we started talking about the industry. He's an actor and did some bit parts in a couple of films here. He's sort of squicky though. He asked for my number, and I demurred and said I'd take his, and never called. (Dude was in his early 40s, and had that sleazy actor look. Ew. I was just happy to get some validation. Pathetic, isn't it?)
Second guy is Adam, who works at the pharmacy with me. He's a couple of years older, has a B.A. in Communications - and he's Asian! Yet I STILL like him! (That's really saying something.) Unfortunately, he's as ambitious as a log, which just won't do. He doesn't understand why I'm not satisfied working there, even though he knows that my educational and work background would suggest that I'm sort of above working in a crap position like that. Even though he says he admires my ambition and the other jobs I've had, he has no drive to actually go out and look for a real job or go for more education. That won't do. Why would I want to date a guy who's lazier than me?
Third guy is a god with skin as dark as Taye Diggs. We met a couple of years ago on the set of Riddick (he was an extra, I was a PA). We hung out a bit and played checkers, but another guy gave me his number, so this one backed off. We (the god and I) ran into each other on a couple of film sets over the last couple of weeks, and he remembered my name, so I was too embarassed to ask him what his name was again. It was something hard to pronounce - he's from Nigeria but his English is flawless and he speaks really well. We saw each other again on the "She's The Man" set last week, and he gave me a big hug and we were flirting all day. (I'm the consummate professional, don't you know?) He's pretty wealthy - there aren't too many black actors in Vancouver, so he gets a lot of small roles and extra jobs. He owns his own condo in English Bay (the upscale part of Vancouver), and he's looking to buy a home in my suburb as well. Hot. Think of a better looking Djimon Hounsou. He said he was going to check up on me in the middle of the night when I was doing an overnight shoot for the movie and he'd already wrapped, and asked for my number, but I got freaked out, and jokingly told him I didn't want him calling me up in the middle of a take. I'm an idiot. He's well-read, well-spoken, probably the most gorgeous man who's ever hit on me without expecting something in return, and at the very least he'd be good for a fling, and I chickened out.
I'm not too worried though. I'll probably wind up doing a shoot from Wednesday through Saturday, and I'll probably run into him there. He's already been on 3 of the last 5 flicks I've worked on recently! I totally dig him, but I don't know if I want to date someone in the industry. The reason I didn't call the guy who gave me his number on the Riddick set, even though he was charming and good-looking, is because I figure if a guy that hot is hitting on me and he knows I've got some film connections, how do I know he's macking on me because he's interested? If this doesn't happen to me in my real life, I have no reason to believe that a hot guy who could have his pick of any of the flighty extra sluts on set would single me out. Cynical or realistic? So what's likely to happen with the Djimon-lookalike is we'll run into each other again, and continue to flirt with nothing materializing in the end. But it was fun while it lasted!
ETA: I can't believe no one picked up on my witty Subject heading. Get it? With my indigestion problems? Pepto-Bismol...Pepto-Abys...aww, never mind. It's wasted on you. *watches witticism fly right over Ellie's head*
ETA2: I can't believe there have been over 10 views of this thread since I posted. I, uh, didn't think people really bothered to read this thing unless they were participating. So to any lurkers on here who have just read my neurotic, messy, verbose rant...dontcha wish you'd minded your own business instead now?
