So far so good

I'm sticking to going to the gym! That's right! I'll be kicking asses before you know it!
I've been having a good week... I had a really good audition for a play and I landed a role in a short film! It's a cute romantic comedy - I'm so excited! I also went partying in Niagra Falls for my best friend's birthday and I had a blast! We partied hard that's for sure. I wanted to throw a party for one of my other best friends before she heads back to Montreal but I'll be filming that weekend so who knows what will go down. It might be a short notice thing but that's what makes it fun.
I haven't been writing as much as I've wanted though, but I think that's okay since I'm doing more acting - finally!! I just need a paying gig now.... sooo badly. Where's my acting money?! I'm broke bitches I'm broke! I'll be spending my week learning my lines and figuring out what to do with my character. I have her pretty much in my mind but if I want to take this whole acting thing seriously I guess I should do some research and get a real feel for her.

I had a really nice talk with my dad today. We were talking about drumming and he was letting me in on what he's had to deal with. He was telling me how the drummer is the silent leader of the group. You'd think it was the singer or lead guitarist but no! That's right....the drummer is the one in control of everything. The drummer is the back bone of the band obviously because we keep the beat. If you don't have proper time and a beat, you're screwed and you're not a good drummer if you can't keep a beat. He was telling me stories about all the different bands he's been in and how funny it is that no one but the drummer really knows how to keep time yet they always tell the drummer what to do. He told me to tell the band that you're going to do whatever you want to do and to not take crap from anyone! He said to know your limits and know your skills and don't let the band boss you around because when show time arrives, they have to follow you. It was really nice to hear what he had to say. I've only been in one band and I have so much more respect for musicians than ever. I don't know how they do it. I think I would go crazy being in a band. Too many egos going around... if I ever found a good group of people, maybe they could change my mind. For now though...I think I'll stick to playing in my parent's basement.
