New Start

So my agent is no longer my agent. It's pretty sad actually, her daughter became very ill and she had to cut her roster in half and I was one of the people that got cut.
I emailed almost every agency in Toronto and I received 4 replies! YAY! So now I have to send them my non-existent demo that I have to make by Monday and send those out so I have a chance to get signed by one of them soon!
There's a lot I still need to do to prepare for myself for the future. First, I need to get a new agent, save some money and pay off debt as well as get in fabulous shape and hopefully have enough to visit my family in Los Angeles by Jan! I'm forming a small sketch troupe with a buddy of mine from comedy school and my boyfriend! I hope that gets us a little further.
On top of that I have the play and film I'm writing that I want to get done soon....wow...this is going to be a nightmare. I'm trying to not spend ANY money that I don't need to, so hopefully not being able to go have fun will force me to stay home and write or create.
Hmmm....I just had a thought....if I stick to my plan and get everything done this year...the one-woman show, the screenplay, the sketch troupe AND get a new agent...
All this will not be for nothing! I KNOW that if I actually do all this it won't be for nothing. I just have a feeling that something amazing will come from it all. It feels like everything is slowly coming together peice by peice and now I'm being tested. Finishing what I say I'll do is a test to my word and dicipline. Call me crazy, but I better pass this test! The reward will be everything I'd hope for...cause if it's not....I will go crazy haha

Why does my eye hurt?

From crying!!! That's why!! No, not really. It really does hurt and I'm a little nervous because there doesn't look like there's anything wrong with my eye other than it feels bruised...eek!
Anyway, I have had a really stressful week. Some family drama that has been a little rough but oddly enough, it brought my boyfriend and I a lot closer and I'm slowly starting to find my old self again through all the anger.
I think I need a break from people. Wait. I NEED a break from people! Everyone is just annoying the hell out of me lately. All anyone does is bitch and complain and not do anything to help themselves and I can't take it anymore. Anything anyone does annoys me because it's either very stupid or I just can't understand their logic behind it. I found out why I have been fainting a lot and apparently I am a "clinical fainter". So...I'm low on sodium so I need to have more soups and always stay hydrated.
I just filmed a short film that was a lot of fun to shoot. I finally got to act (which has been too long since I got a gig) and I had a lot of freedom to do whatever I wanted in terms of acting decisions with my character. The director and I were basically on the same page which was great to bounce ideas off of.

So basically, I'm going away to visit my friend for a couple days to get away from everyone at home. Everyone is stressing me out and I don't need it right now. Once I re-group and relax a bit, I can go back refreshed and get things done. I CANT TAKE ANYMORE CAPTAIN!!!
I'm done and out!!! I also need to go to the spa!! Oh god!!
