For the sleepless this is my reply

Here's a little update on what I've been doing:

I was supposed to work on a movie at the end of this month, but things fell through... kinda freaked for like half a second cause while movies generally pay lower day rates, they're guaranteed work for at least a month or so, which is always nice.  Anyway, like I said, only freaked for half a sec... then picked up work on a Missouri Lottery commercial being directed by Andy Richter.  I'm not gonna lie, that kinda rules!  I've been working on that here and there for the last week and it shoots this week... I'm assuming that after this week Andy and I will be the best of friends... obvs cause we're both hilarious. It makes sense.  Then I go straight into another commercial... I can't remember who it's for, some shitty, cheap beer.  Doesn't matter really, it'll pay well and keep me busy for a minute.  Hopefully something else will come up by the end of that.  I've come to realize that while it always seems like it'll be fun to sit around and do nothing, I get stir crazy really fast... don't get me wrong, if I had enough money to not work for the rest of my life I'd be stoked, but I'd also have money to keep myself busy doing other things.  Which brings me to the other things I've been doing...

Between the end of tour and now I've only picked up a couple jobs, which has left me with a lot of free time... and yes, I've been going a little crazy.  Even more so since Misty moved out, leaving me with no one to talk to most of the time except the dogs (I refuse to leave the house because(except Julie) I pretty much hate everyone in KC).  Don't worry, I actually get out most days, I just don't go out drinking or whatever else it is that social people do (last I checked, in KC it's only drinking).  And I actually feel a lot better for staying away from all of that... 

Ok, got of on a slight tangent... what's new.  Anywho, in all of my staying in I've been keeping myself busy with 'old lady' stuff.  Basically, I've been doing a lot of baking, knitting, sewing, etc...  I've pretty much rearranged/cleaned the crap out of every room in my house.  It's almost cute!  And I've been finishing up all of my knitting projects.  Rad scarf finished, pirate sweater (for my nephew) almost there!  I'm not allowed to start anything new until they're all finished... and I accidentally bought some new yarn the other day, so I'm really pushing myself.  As you can see from my last post I've been making cupcakes.  I've been trying to perfect some recipes and I think it's going well.  I think my carrot and pumpkin cupcakes are pretty much there.  And I've been working on one in my head all night that I think is going to be pretty awesome.  I've kind of joked in the past about opening a cupcake store, but in all of my 'trying to figure out what the hell I want to do with my life' I've never really been able to put my finger on what it really is that could keep my attention for a long period of time(don't get me wrong, I really love what I do now, but I'm assuming at some point I'm going to get tired of it, maybe not)... but the more I think about it, I really love baking.  And I enjoy peoples' responses to my baked goods.  I mean, we all know I'm super self-absorbed, but it's a different kind of feeling.  So, I'm giving it more realistic thoughts... who knows, in two weeks I may have moved back onto any of my other crazy ideas, but I'm really trying to put together some realistic, longer term plans and I think I may actually try to pursue this one... but it'll still be a while, assuming someone doesn't randomly throw a large amount of money at me (it hasn't happen thus far, so I'm not banking on it).

Also, as far as future planning goes, I'm making some slight tweaks to my moving plans.  As it stands right now, I'm giving myself a move date of March... sooner if my situation allows, but no later... that's more than enough time to get enough money together to move comfortably (barring any more emergencies).  And I'm not sure of exact location just yet, but somewhere between Northern Orange County and San Diego... If things continue to go well I should be making a trip out to SD semi-soonish and I'm sure I'll be in the OC area to visit the former rommie, so I'll be checking things out then.  Those locations seem to fit me better than the other places I've "almost" moved to in recent times.  I feel like I've really been able to get my head on a little straighter in the last few months and I'm ready to start doing things 100% for myself and not let other people slip in there and screw me up (that probably comes off worse than I mean for it to, but I'm having trouble finding the words to properly express myself).

I think that's all I'll get into right now... there's other stuff going on, but it's not for blogging at this time.
