My face is all puffy. Initially I thought that maybe I was allergic to handsome, but if that were the case, my body would have exploded a long time ago. I'm hoping it's because I'm sick and not because I'm pregnant, which I thought I took care of months ago. Everyone at school has been getting sick for a while now and I've only just finally given in and become sick myself. My thinking is that it's due to my incredibly strong and efficient immune system. Seriously, my immune system is so strong that I think sometimes it's capable of physically lifting objects. "How is that possible?" you might ask. To that I would respond with "Shut up and let me dream."
On another note, it rained the tiniest bit today in the city of Los Angeles. It wasn't even bad and wasn't really even noticeable to me. In Portland, it's what we would call "shorts weather." However, this not being Portland, the city as a whole had an entirely different opinion. As I was walking home from school, the general public was in misery. They seriously looked like something out of a post-apocalyptic movie. People were stumbling around confused and horrified. It would have been kind of amusing if it hadn't been so scary. There was an old man shouting at security outside a Borders bookstore, people were more pushy on the sidewalk than they normally are, and there were people in cars wanting to physically assault each other at a stoplight near my home. It's sad when the smallest, simplest thing can make people seem so ugly.
Oh, and on a lighter note, if you're ever wondering how it might be possible to make your existence a little more bad ass, do the following: get yourself some business cards! Holy shit, if you don't already have one, GET ONE. I don't even care what you do for a living because you can make that little rectangle of paper say whatever you want it to! For example, I'm still in film school and have officially accomplished nothing in my professional life. However, my new business card still says my name and underneath that it says "Screenwriter." How incredibly awesome is that? I mean, it's pretty cool if the place that you work for gives you some business cards with your name on it, but it's a completely different level when you get to choose what goes on there yourself. I think I'm going to have several made up just in case I run into a scenario where I need people to know that I'm a "Professional Clown Puncher" or a "Human Push-up Machine." Regardless of what you put on there, I think you should get some. And then I think you should give one to me because, honestly, I'm all about networking.
