I've created a little video to explain sort of what this blog is about. In hindsight I probably should have planned it out. Winging it created some slightly humorous out takes though :)
Alright, so as you can see I'm still figuring things out. I'm new to recording my own videos and in general am technologically challenged. This means that things can only get better!!
Here it goes...I just moved to LA from the maritimes. As a dual citizen I feel so lucky that I was able to make the move when it can be extremely difficult for others to get visas. I've always been the kind of girl to jump in feet first. A lot of my friends & family have called me brave and think I'm fearless. To be honest...I'm pretty awesome ;). But really, I'm scared shitless. I've known that I'd have to make the move at some point. Actually planning it out and saving up money wasn't easy. That being said, I definitely should have prepared myself better for the costs that I'd be faced with. If I hadn't decided to move when I did I wouldn't have had all the experiences that I've had so far. Timing...it's a crazy thing and I'm hoping it works in my favor.
Down to the fun stuff...Things that have happened: 1) Saw Aaron Paul at Rite Aid, while I was holding some embarrassing items. 2) Saw Quentin Tarantino while dropping off a resume at a restaurant (eek!! texted so many people after) 3) Partied at some amazing places that I could definitely not afford 4) Canadian friends are awesome! Hedley came into town and got to see a showcase. Made new friends that night that just moved here too. The amazingly talented Matt Mays came into town. So happy to be surrounded by new friends and a sense of home. 5) Some guy pulled over off Sunset, blocking traffic, to tell me I was beautiful and to ask me to lunch, dinner, and offered to get me a job. I didn't do any of those things but...6) 30min later I had an interview for a restaurant that I now work at 7) Met an actor at a coffee shop who gave me words of advice and encouragement, possible contacts 8) Oh yeah! I went to VEGAS for free with my roommate, we had an amazing time and met some really great people (Saw Lil Jon, went to Beecher's Madhouse, stayed in a penthouse at MGM)
Well I'm sure there is more! I'm still figuring things out in life, my career, and obviously how to record videos/write blogs. The name was a last minute choice, as you could tell I could barely explain what I meant by it. I'm so excited...about life! And what's going to happen next.....
Love,
Emily
