queenrileyI apologize for yesterday's post. It was made entirely out of self pity, which is something I hate and know I need to work on not having. It was a bad day and I've never adjusted well to change, so going from a three bedroom two story house to a one bedroom apartment has been a bit of a shock to my system. I realize you probably didn't mind the post, but I'm still apologizing for it anyway. I do appreciate all the wonderful things you lot said about me, though I don't think I'm half as wonderful as you seem to think I am. :)
Morning always brings a new perspective to things, and though I didn't have to be, I was up at dawn today. Steam rose from the sewers in the street. The world around me was mostly quiet, with only a few people leaving for work on their bicycles or in cars, some walking. Mostly the world was asleep. It was cold, about the only time of day it really is cold around here, and the air felt good. I stood in the parking lot and watched the sun rise over the bushes that obscure the fence and the train tracks. It was nice. After a bit I came back in and lay down for another half hour or so until Alex got me up. She's sleeping in later these days.
Last night, I had a strange
It started out with something happening to Jeff and Alex. I don't know exactly what it was or when it happened, but something happened and they were no longer in this life with me. So I was catatonic for awhile before moving on with my life. A few years later I had a book about it published, and then it was turned into a Lifetime Movie. They wanted an authentic and real performance, so I was cast as myself. This is not all that surprising as, deep down, I've always wanted to be an actor. I floated through jobs on screen and stage for a few years before being cast in some fantasy movie. It was to be my first big screen movie and I was working with Elijah Wood, Dominic Monaghan, Sean Astin, Billy Boyd (yes, I had watched the extended Fellowship before bed... that explains that part), and a whole bunch of really really talented and adorable little kids which, for some reason, included all three of Circe's kids. Strange combination, I know, but it was a strange movie... couldn't tell you what it was about, but it was some sci-fi/fantasy, and I was about the only woman in the cast. Anyway, we were filming in Iceland for some reason, and I spent most of my time searching for misspince. I ended up finding Hildi, but she didn't know where misspince was. I went by her parent's house, but they told me she hadn't lived there for years and wouldn't tell me where she was. They apparently thought I was some violent criminal Jew and were afraid that I would hurt their daughter. So filming this movie took about 6 months and all the cast were living in the same apartment building, including Circe and Stellex because they were their for Ben, Faith, and Allie. So I went searching and searching and could not find misspince, despite the fact that I was getting emails from her and she told me where she was. On the last day of filming I managed to gather together all of her friends together, and they were all telling me where she was and how she was looking for me too, and she had found Circe and met the entire cast, but I was missing that day. She'd even arranged to travel somewhere to meet Orlando Bloom, since they're all friends. So the wrap party was going on, and Dominic spent the entire time driving me all over Iceland to find her. We finally found the library she and Hildi work at and she was there, putting plastic covers on books. :) I had one hour before I had to leave, but we had the best time in that hour.
Yeah... I said it was strange. :) But I feel much better this morning. Also, the title of yesterday's post was a play on the first full length original novel I ever wrote. It never has been and probably never will be published, but I have my copy along with a few of my friends (some of them former friends now).
Alex has decided to become a nudist this morning and is running around entirely naked, so I need to go wrestle her back into her clothes, or at least her diaper.
I just wanted to say thanks for putting up with me. :)
