#Randombling: That Nerdy Chick

Randombling: A 5 minute long unedited random stream of consciousness produced by a nerd for nerds.

 #nowplaying: Wonderful - Everclear

Alrite ... I totally need this right now. I am just BAHHHHH!!!! Pins and needles!! Pins and needles!!!!!!!! I am literally waiting any minute to hear some important news regarding the TNTML film. Like literally ... any hour, any minute, any second ... I am like literally going mad.

The thing is, there are SO many fires going, that again, I know if for whatever horrid reason this weren't to work out with this specific person ... there are like a bajillion trillion other options. But it's also really hard, because I just genuinely dig this person. He's super bitchin. HAHA! No really ... totally not even kissing ass. A friend of mine worked for him, and like LOVEEDDD him. He's just awesome apple sauce all around. For months it has all been two big steps forward, one step back. We have this like fanschmastically awesome package and all. I'm pretty stoked ... but it's no longer in my hands. I've never been a "wait by the phone" kinda person. I just do. I break things down and figure out how to execute a goal on the path of least resistance. See, the universe is all one. So the more you're able to actually go WITH the flow and WITH the grain, the more you can actually get done.

Dude, I've learned so much about that this last year ... its insane.

It doesn't mean you don't act upon things, or expect that the universe is going to give you something because you're this gift, and it's destiny .... blah blah blah. Dude, you MAKE your own destiny. I MADE this happen. I was also incredibly present, and saw all of the opportunities before me ... but yeah. This is good shit here. I stand by it. And that's pretty much all I have to my name.

I know there is something here. I felt it even before there was a friggen script. And I feel that this is going to work. I don't know how, I don't know when, I don't know ... really anything ... but I know I really dig this person. And I just kinda have to put my faith in that.

Dude, he ended our last meeting with a hug. Hollywood gods don't hug. The funniest part about this though is I never, like ever ever ever viewed him as that. No for reals, even after I got his card after our first meeting .. I was like ... hmmm that sounds important. He's just my buddy. He tells good stories, and we're friends on Facebook. He asked me if there was anything he could ever help with, to let him know ... so I asked for help. It really was that simple.

So yeah ... there ya go, that's bouncing around in my head right now. Grand, aint it?

#WTG Twitter. You're a big kid now!

 

Good lord, it only took you 4 years. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find people's twitter handles? I usually have to send them a Facebook message - or even just google, "so and so twitter."

I swear ... I learned it from working for one of the founders of Myspace ... the people running the social platforms are just somewhere out to lunch. Except for Marky Mark clearly, but HEEEE got the importance of getting inside people's noggins (yay for studying Psychology at Harvard) versus just being a shameless publicity whore like a lot of the peeps over at Myspace were. Dude, we need our hand held. Value needs to be established before people will start using something on a consistent basis. Hence why soooo many people create a damn account, and then do nothing with it. SHESHHH!!!

Either way, CONGRATS on getting your shit together Twitter!!!

Super stoked!

#FocusRally Casting Today!!

W00t! W00t! W00t!!!

 

 

So, the casting peeps called me on Monday, and dude - totally thought Lindsay and I were going to have to skype with some peeps or something first ... but oh no, we have an actual interview at my client who I never gave an invoice to because I knew there would be a bigger and better opportunity than what I could have charged him for a bio's office. HAHA!! I am the FourSquare Mayor of HIS office. Now if that's not social media, I don't know what is. So, so, SOOOOO!! excited for this.

 

Dude, I not only get a loverly participation check, but when we win, Lindsay and I are going to get 100K and be able to give away TEN yes TENNNNNNN Ford Focuses on this loverly website.

 

 

Tell me that's not nuts!!! How many websites do you know of today that are about to have the chance to give away a car?!?!?! BAHHH!!!

 

Super excited. Like crazy super excited. This project will be airing on Hulu too - so it doesn't get much nerdier.

 

Crossing my fingers, crossing my toes - didn't forget to pick my nose.
