| As if this were a new year, I've decided to make a lot of changes in my life... down to finishing a few unaccomplished tasks... down to beginning tasks that I never started... and exploring things I never expected I would explore. All in all, whether or not anyone reads this, or whether I just put it up to remind me to do it.
I'm going to take more risks. I'm going to TRY and not be so afraid of meeting new people. I'm going to do things OUT of my comfort zone. I'm going to look more people in the eye, and not shy away from their gaze. I went to the same private school, with the same group of people, for ...ooh... 12 years? It's like living in a small village... and never really stepping out into the big, bad world. You could say UCLA was a big bad world...but come on... it was 20 minutes away from home. I just feel this anxiousness for a lot of change... and I'm hoping I'm on the path to discovering the part of me that's been longing to break out of my usual safety zone.
Take a gamble, Jen. Can't win big, if you don't risk big...

| So I left my phone at the staples center, and decide to try luck and text my phone, "Whoever found this phone, please call me at this number.."
Low and behold! I get a text back!!! "Hey some guy gave me this phone it has service so im guessing its urs"
YEESSS!!! As soon as we get it, Jose immediately calls the guy and we agree to meet at the corner of San Pedro and Florence, all the way in downtown...so we trek all the way down there.. of course it takes an hour...and dude doesn't answer the phone...
I text him back before I go to bed after having given up several hours earlier. I ask him to leave it at staples, where I think he works, because he found it after hours, or at the store he asked us to meet him at, and that if I didn't hear from him, I'd end up blacklisting the phone anyway, which would render it useless. And I get this back:
naw SO i don't need it anywayz n well i just made u drive 4 fun come 2 el liborio in pico n alvarado.
You GHETTO ass mother fucker... you FUCKING Asshole...First of all, you need to get a fucking life... second of all, you need to learn how to spell, and not type a shitty retort like, SO? So??? So is for retards who can't come up with anything REMOTELY intelligent to say....
Not only did this jerk off steal my phone, he plays fucking stupid mind games that have me and jose running around town cutting our evening short ( we were looking for a birthday present for his mom before we raced downtown). I hope kharma exists because this dude needs to pay. I play nice for most of my life, but when I get the rage, it is an ugly ugly side of me. I want to find him on the street one day and beat his ass...
I suppose another reason why I'm so pissed is because I've been scrimping and saving all month... and now I'm going to have to pay a $50.00 deductible... sigh...
I need to get a punching bag in my room to alleviate all this rage | | |
| So...I retardedly posted the other recap as public instead of private, so that I could finish my thoughts another night...Here goes...
The culmination of my year would have been to screen at Prom, UCLA's festival of Animation...a valiant effort was made by all...and by all, I mean the fabulouls people that encouraged me to finish, or literally helped me drawing by drawing, or colored my scenes. Although this is just a tiny blog, I do wish to thank certain people:
Jose- Jose came to the lab and actually pulled an allnighter coloring my stuff....His drawing line is ..well, let's just say we both agreed that he would be much better at coloring...since coloring is just a lot of click clicking and cleaning up of lines... he spent days coloring my stuff, and I am amazed that he has become much more involved than i expected..from scanning to finishing at least half of my film coloring...he also found help from one of his workers at the store, Jordan, who did some cleanup for me as well......Thank you Jordan, and thanks for giving it your all, Josie...
Hedy- whose pencil line would blow you away...even now she helps me in the lab, cleaning up, as I am so itchy to continue compositing and coloring my finished drawings...I have a few more scenes to go, but hedy has been there all the way, totally helping me clean up with that beautiful line that totally surpasses mine
Ivy and Renee- Ivy-chan, if there's anyone I know who's ready to help you in a bind, it's you. There's no one more giving, or willing to help at the drop of a hat. As I said, and will reiterate, you are my FAVORITE...Ivy came on a weekend with her lovely sister and helped me trace and color...Ivy came twice and was totally there for me when I needed her. It wasn't just the manual work, it totally inspired me to keep going...Even when I was slaving away in the lab long ago, she would call me up after her class to see if I needed food .... Ivy-chan... you're the best...bestest friend ever
Thy, Sung , and Jo- other awesome animators that stayed late the night the film was due to help me color and/or clean up my drawings.... The sense of community with these students is mind-blowing!
So I didn't finish...which totally totally broke my heart...I went through a fever, pinkeye, taking residence up at melnitz for a month (which really wasn't sooo bad), and many tears.... still, I did manage to learn that there were good people around me, rooting for me to finish, and I will have a FAT thank you list at the end of my film... people were joking that I had minions.... No..I just have great friends....I love you guys!!!!

| So many things happened and I've got to a do a recap....
A week or so before my film was due, I went to Vegas with my parents, Jose, and my aunt..where I once again saw my long distance love, Steve the Chippendale dancer.
 
Judge me if you must, but he is the closest thing to Keanu that I can get. Twas muy fun, and my Aunt loved it...my mom was laughin like crazy...It was awesome and I recommend it to all....

| So i've been living in melnitz and taking showers at Wooden to be able to try and screen my film this year, but it looks like it's a lost cause.
I'm really freakin' sad, man.
Unless a miracle happens and god grants me a clean-up team, I'm royally screwed. Can YOU maintain a decent tracing line? If so, CALL ME!!!!!
