Putting the pieces back together

Thanks for the support, Chels (and Lily, for phoning me). I spent a few minutes feeling kinda crappy, but then I thought about the positive things about staying in Vancouver (continuing to work on my documentary film project, recording music, playing shows hopefully, and of course, you guys) and I felt a lot better. I told my mom (or rather, I told my grandma during lunch at the Golden Swan and she told my mom when she joined us) and the first thing my mom said to me was, "I told you so." So yeah... I don't know if my dad knows. I'm sure he's thinking the same thing anyway.

My mom isn't being as... harsh as I thought she would be. I thought she'd be mentioning it at every turn and conversation, but amazingly, she's not.

In other (better) news, my short film from film school got into another festival -- this one in Grenoble, France, which is really cool. I also finished my third documentary short a few days ago and it'll be screening at a conference in Edmonton tomorrow, which is also interesting. We were given a deadline for this one and I wasn't really expecting it, so when it came down to the day, it didn't turn out as awesome as I wanted it to be. But that's okay because I feel like with each new film, I'm learning a lot and I get to make things better.

I had possibly the stupidest thought in the world last night... I don't even know if it's worth repeating. It'll probably be more cohesive if I say it... maybe in a vlog or something.

Ann, have you handed in your application to HMV yet? I did it on Sunday, so now it's waiting time yet again.

Anyway, I'm alright. I'm applying to Langara, like I said I would, but the site is a little confusing. I really hope to see you guys soon.
