Summer Lovin' Had me a Blast Off

What a summer it has been.

In fact this summer was really exactly what I needed. It was time to fly, to brush off the horrible after affects of staying too long at a job I had out grown. So I went back. Back to basics.  Decided to trade my skinny leg jeans, boots, and black eyeliner for a summer in the sun. I have always liked working with children and although my goal is to find a job in the film and tv industry, children somehow always mange to bring me back down to earth and remind me to laugh.

I got a job this summer working at the kids surfing camp Fitness by the sea.  It truly was a magical experience. I lost 15 pounds, drank more than my share of beer at  this cute little Tex Mex place on the pch, and made a bunch of beach friends. We were a rag-tag group of teachers, actors, students, nannys, industry people, and weirdos all brought together for three months away from the real world, and into a world of red and blue shirts, sunburn, and silliness.


I tried to think of it as a restart button, setting all my controls back to neutral as I chose my next path.

It happens to be really hard when you are 27 and still trying to decide what you want to be when you grow up.

I'm lucky if you think about it...I mean  Ihad the chance to explore a few options along the way...

Like this summer in addition to playing in the waves I worked as a PA of the ABC show "Take The Money and Run",  as a model for esalon.com, and as a make-up artist  and photographer on singer Michelle Shapow's Back Down to Earth Music Video.  My photo gallery from that shoot can be found here: Prodcution stills.

So in all truth, im sure ill be fine. But for now, I'm one week back into what I jokingly refer to as "funemployment." haha.  I have been keeping myself busy with the normal stuff people do to feel better about themselves:  cleaning the apartment,  learning to be a better cook, working out at what literally must be the worst gym in the world, and playing with my new dog. The  dog ( Fitzgerald Doggington Parkhurst) is pretty sweet. And you know what? life is pretty sweet too.


So, I figure Monday will be the day to start it all. To sit down, make a schedule, fine-tune that resume, hit up all those contacts, and find an extra special job.

But...as for now, It's Saturday night and im going to a party!  The party tonight is in West Hollywood, and is country themed. I think i'll wear jean shorts, pigtails with ribbons, and boots. im excited. I just can't stay away from nightlife. I love the LA scene to pieces.
