Dreams do come TRUE!

WOAH. Alright today is officially the third week since I moved to LA, LA Land. An incredible amount of things have happened in such a short amount of time, I feel like I have lived here for months. I sit here in our fairly large one bedroom apartment in boxer shorts and a T, cause you know its always 70 degrees in K-Town, listening to the sounds of my beautiful roommate cackle over (500)Days of Summer, the humdrum buzz of the cars making their way down the lonely city streets of LA. It makes me wonder where they are going you know? Are they going home after working their second shift, going to a friends, coming back from the Grammy's, booty call... where ever they might be going, they are always moving fast, and if you get in their way, you better move quick. Time is never stopping here. Everyone has a mission.

Speaking of missions.
The first week we moved here I signed up with a talent agency called Central Casting. The second week I devoted my time to applying for JOBS, got hired at three places, turned down two and took the third. I am now a server at the Italian restaurant, Buca di Beppo, at Universal City walk. That's right folks, this girl gets to park for FREE and get employee discounts at one of the largest tourists traps in LA. Yippeee. Not to mention a pretty hefty workout seeing as how all I do is run up and down three flights of stairs all day. After, I found out that I got the Buca job, I got a call from Central Casting saying that I was booked for a Major Motion Picture starring Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Olivia Wilde, and Jim Carrey. NBD. It was for and audience member-nothing big. So, I show up to set and go to wardrobe and hair and make-up, then sit around for HOURS. Then they finally took us into set. I have never seen anything like it. Movie cameras with actual film and people talking in secret movie production languages. It was un-real. And then Steve Carell walks in and gives us a speech about how awesome we are and how lucky the team is to have us aboard. WHAT! I was sitting in front of a man that I thought I would never meet in my whole life and here he was doing his craft, his silly faces, his line-o-ramas RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. How lucky am I that I get to do something this awesome. To hang out and watch people be people. Blessed.
I met a lot of folks over the four days I was there and gained LOADS of information on how to better myself. I was fortunate to receive all THREE of my SAG vouchers which makes me SAG eligible. People were telling me that this situation NEVER happens. People go their whole lives and never receive one voucher, and here I am my FIRST shoot ever with all THREE. I don't know if I believe that there is a GOD, but boy let me tell you there is something out there watching over me and making sure that everything that I have been working toward is not going unnoticed. And thank you for that.
I am constantly telling people that you need to believe in yourself, and to not be afraid of your own greatness. I have been told that by many and never listened, until I decided that I am better than I give myself credit for.
I am lucky to be fortunate enough to do the thing that I love most in my life, when most are afraid to even put their hand on the door knob and turn.
