I got more platinum than your credit card.

We had a hair dying party last night. Victoria dyed John's hair red, Allie's hair red and mine platinum blonde. Then I dyed hers red with blonde streaks. We all look fucking hot, just so you know. ;) more pictures will be up soon, of all of us.

Oh, and I got my headshots done, he was really cool and laid back and easy to talk to. I should be seeing them soooon i hope. We shot in space 1520 and met up at groundwork cafe. Anywho, we're shooting again later this week. the best part?
i get free headshots for the rest of my life. yes, thats right, i will never have to pay for headshots. He said anyone helping him with his portfolio, such as myself, will get lifetime free shots, whenever needed. FUCK YEAH. An actor's dream.

BEACH!

WHO"S GOING TO THE BEACH? I'M GOING TO THE BEACH!

excitementttt :D
Victoria, Allie and I :)
&I'm gonna get my tan onnnnn.
santa monica here i come :)

1.14.11

Yesterday was a wonderful fabulous amazing day. I was so overwhelmed with happiness all day long.
1. I got Muriel AND the scene i wanted in sundown Beach
2. It was 80 degrees. in january :)
3. I did so well on my continuity in my acting for camera scene no one had a single correction while everyone else had at least a dozen. I even got applause =p
4. Trevor, my cousin, told me he's going to move out here after he graduates high school!!! 
 " right now my plan is to move to cali after graduation and get an apartment ... close to my cousing apartment of cours and go to community college down there for 2 years, then i think ill be a citizen im not sure i gotta look into it, then after 2 years i can go to a university for cheaper hahha" thats what he told me over facebook. we decided we're going to get an apartment together!!
It's weird we've never been that close or talked that much, until i was about to move out here. Then we became closer on terms of how jealous he was that i was going to live in cali :p He also broke up with his girlfriend, elise, of 21 months. Which is sad and i did not see coming at all, but he's okay and he just needs someone to text since he's not always texting elise anymore. so we've been talking a lot more. I REALLY HOPE THIS ALL WORKS OUT!!!!! :D

5. My voice lesson went fab. She worked me really hard and kept yelling at me, which is what it's going to take to make me better. She made me really want to be better so I'm planning on working really hard this week, at least 30 minutes a day because i want to blow her mind on saturday.
Hips back, tongue back and wide, chest up, head back, drop stomach, push obliques, etc etc. I don't just sing i have to fucking puppet my body. lol but when i get it right it works so it's all good :)

6. Me and Allie dyed our hair. Oh what an adventure, we walked two miles to sally's to get a hair bleaching kit and well we were both high on life and happiness and i'm sure people thought we were on speed. ha. we decided since it was such a good day we would spend some money and pig out for once. So we went to k24, the best restraunt ever, i love it. I got a hamburger, fries, and a shake, which i havent had since i've been here thanks to my fat free diet. It was amazing. until later, but thats besides the point lol. and i got home to find out part of the kit was not included so i couldnt dye my hair, so i'm going to do it today instead. EXCITED!

7. Me and Allie whip our hair back and forth. 

8.  We went to the beach at 2:15 in the morning and smoked, drank, laid on blankets, listened to the waves and looked at the stars. I was with Mirade, Vicki and Eric. It was all pretty serene and all, until we realized how fucking creepy it was. Seriously, a desserted beach at 3am, with random shady people walking around, think about it. There was this man in black standing behind a volleyball pole, but no one else saw him and kept saying there was no one there, well i got fucking pissed they werent believeing me, because they were all much more high than i was, and he was definitley there, and they just kept walking. Then we all started to get scared and ran back a lot further from the shoreline. Then we heard a bloodcurdling scream from the pier and mirade started talking about how it's gang territory at night or some shit. Eric goes "Maybe someone went in the water and it was cold"....shut the fuck up. that's all i have to say on that. Not only that i was paranoid because we were fuckin just smoking on the open beach. So we went back to the car and then as we were smoking in the car a fuckin cop car pulled up. He was only shining lights on a hobo but he was seriously 15 feet away and if he saw us he would come over there, smell the weed, SEE the weed and it wouldnt be too great. So we all sat there frozen. Then he left. Then there was a shady looking group of people walking to our car. So we finally just fucking bouced out of there. Wow that whole night just knocked 2 years off my life because of stress. Ha.
But at least it was an adventure. We got back at 4:30am and went to bed :)

SO i spent the whole day, until like 2am, being overwhelmed with happiness and not knowing what to even do with myself. It was quite exhausting actually ha.

Playing on the beach at 3am :)

vicki, mirade and I :)

deuces!

MURIEL!

I GOT MURIEL! :D
i am SO happy. Not only that but i got the scene i wanted too, i got both, i got everything i wanted. Ha wow i sounded just like Muriel. But isn't that crazy, that i got both the character AND the scene I wanted? it'd be great if my whole career went like this. ha.
There ended up being 3 people to play Muriel. She said Liesl will be Vanilla, and Mona will be Hazel. Two people who wanted to be Muriel, who weren't. Then she said, "Muriel will be Penny and... oh wait" Then she moved to other characters. THREE fucking minutes later she comes back to Muriel "Muriel will be played by Penny, Jennifer and Tori". yes yes yesss. Tori didn't even want it, she wanted to be Nona, so she wasn't happy. Which I thought was weird how I was dying for the role while she was dying not to be the role.

The scene; Divorce.
Nik will be playing George in my scene. He's cool and we haven't had the opportunity to do a scene together yet. So it shall be fun :) I am presenting him with divorce papers, thanks to my bad influence friend Hazel. I start stand offish, then get mad, then timid and apologetic and then sad and emotional. I end up sobbing in his arms and then pull myself together and take my exit. I have 30 lines, but 4 are short monologues.

ahhhh have i mentioned i'm excited?! I'm rehearsing with Nik tomorrow at 12:30. We have to do an improv version of our scene on monday. We won't perform the actual scene for a few weeks, for finals. But I'm going to start learning lines and working on it tonight. AHH I"M SO FUCKING EXCITED!
i'm going to work so hard on this :)

I don't really know why i'm this excited just for a final, it's not like it's a feature film or even independent ha. but hey, obsession is what leads to the success i guess :)

Obsession,

Our class is doing Sundown Beach for our Final Performance. We each get a a character and a scene. There will be like 2 or 3 of every character, because we will each only be doing one scene. So she let us pick what character we wanted. I asked Eric which one he could see me playing and he said Muriel. I completely forgot about Muriel but once I started studying her I REALLY liked her.

Theme of the Play: Takes place during WWII. everyone has Post traumatic stress disorder. It's mostly a character play so it's just about all the separate stories, there is no main plot line.


Muriel: Married to George, who was a bomber pilot and has PTSD. I've grown up spoiled, rich and educated. I like staying active and is not fond of change. Well thanks to the war, change is unavoidable. As much as I hate to say it, George is a burden and I can't emotionally deal with it. Along with the rest of this war. 


So here's the thing, I got to class and every character had about 2 or 3 people in their group (the perfect amount, since each character needs 2 or 3 people). Except, (you'll never guess) Muriel. There are 6 people who want Muriel. There can only be 3. UGH. Suddenly I've become obsessed, i've studied all her scenes and have found myself acting and holding myself as muriel would. Little things such as a hand on the hip, sitting up straight in class, just small things. I really want this role. And I'd LOVE to have the scene where she is presenting the divorce papers because it's emotional and I get to change a lot through the scene. There's a lot of character development and internal dialogue. Also, the gun scene, where george pulls a gun out and goes crazy. Except I don't have many lines. Or the beginning scene, which required a hardcore make-out with whoever plays George. Fun stuff.

Sooo basically I'm obsessed. Welcome to the world of acting.
oh wow, Liz just woke up and asked me what time it was. It's 1:37 am. wonderful. I have dance at 8am tomorrow. Class from 8am- 6pm, to be exact. that is 10 hours of school right there! Dance &movement, acting, theatre history, Vocal Lesson, and a makeup class for Acting for Camera. ohh speaking of acting for camera, our scenes this week had to be about continuity (hard scary shit, it's not easy). I did my scene with adam. She said continuity on his side was a disaster, and his scene would have been cut, haha she completley burned him. but she said i matched and there were only a few things! scoreee ;)
In your face, Continuity. :D

anywhooo, goodnight :)

Tomorrow I find out if I'm Muriel or not, which I mean I'm sure she already had her mind made up before class even started. Because thats how it goes, they know if theyre gonna cast you or not as soon as you walk in the room, before you even slate. Unfortunately. So fingers crossed! Ugh I really should not be obsessing this much. But if I don't get it I will just make the best of whatever part I get!

goodnight :) (For real this time!)

Dedicated to Traces, the true celebrites.

I should be doing my theatre history homework but instead I am sitting here at midnight with Allie and Marissa and we're all blogging away to our hearts content. I also didn't practice vocals, or read over sundown beach. Fail.

Buuut I went to see Traces tonight. Oh my God, I forgot how to breathe. THE most amazing thing I have ever seen. I kind of want to stalk them and be their biggest fan, not to be creepy. I think I'm officially obsessed. I heard Circus LA is even more amazing, which I can't imagine. It was like watching a whole different species. I realized these are the people that should be famous, these should be the faces on magazines, the one's that walk red carpets and have to wear sunglasses so people don't flock them wanting autographs. Not people like Paris Hilton and the Kardashians who are just famous because theyre rich. Or people like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan who are famous just because they're so messed up. Unfortunatley people achieve famosity for the wrong reasons. Yes, famosity is my own original word. Feel free to use it. Someday it'll be big. :) Marissa just said "Like a Boss". Again. haha :)

anyways I'm really bad at staying on one topic, as you can tell. But the point of this was that I didn't do much today, and it would've been unproductive and useless except for that I saw Traces, which rocked my world, let alone my day. Therefore today was phenomenal. The cast of Traces are the true celebrities of this world. Oh and here are a million pictures, because I am obsessed, if I didn't mention

yes, he is on a skateboard. badass.
no hands. hollerrr.
what is better than an asian  jumping through hoops?
