So, I bought Twilight yesterday. With the movie coming out and the recent article in Entertainment Weekly, I thought I’d see what all the fuss is about. So i strolled into borders to pick up a book on ScriptWriting (my true love) and ran smack into the big display of Twilight Books. I purchased it.

and sat down to read the first couple chapters.

and I’ve been struggling to put it down since.

i get the fuss now.

WOW. like knock me on my ass wow. Of course, millions of teenage girls (and others) already knew this. I wish I got the memo. It makes me hate my job, sleeping, eating, or anything else that interrupts my complete submersion into this book.

I’ve seen the trailer for the movie, seeing as the only other true love I have besides writing is movie trailers. I watched it again. And am even more excited to see it. Too bad it’s not coming out until december.

What does everyone think about the casting choices?

The girl cast for Bella Swan also played  Melinda in the book to TV movie “Speak”, which just happens to be my favorite book. I’ve read it so many times. I have the ripped cover and food stains all over every page to prove it. When I saw she was cast, I got even more pumped!

I’m not too far into the book, so no spoilers!

Also, if you got my script to read and give me feedback on....WHAT ARE YOU READINY MY BLOG FOR??? GET BACK TO THE SCRIPT!

Then again, I just finished my second draft and i changed alot. Hopefully I get all the feedback I can and can make one final revision and send it off as part of the fellowship application. Then I'll probably do another spec script (the office is a possibility, but that will be tough to write) and i'll finish my pilot. Experts say when trying to land an agent, you should have at least one good spec script to show, but i'm going to try and get more just in case they ask for alot of samples. I'm very proud of my How I Met Your Mother one! And i had so much fun doing it! I hope it leads to big things for me.

i'd frame it.

Hee Hee, i have a crush.

I forgot what it felt like to be real into someone, and be excited to see them and spend time with them. I got to hang out with him and i'm all smiley :)

And that sweet pain of realizing it might not be returned. I can't say for sure if he's into me. But i do know i missed that panicked feeling in my stomach when i realized how much i'm starting to like him and he might not like me back.

i've been so busy with school and work and coaching and trying to get a future together that i havent even looked twice and a guy. ever. i've thought this guys was cute for awhile, but we're both so busy i barely talked to him. i finally got a chance to spend time with him and i had alot of fun talking to him. he laughed, i laughed, i smiled, he smiled. i giggled like a school girl to my mom and dolo on the phone the next day. i havent felt this way in quite some time. it feels good. even if the feeling is not mutual, i'm having a good time getting to know him and indulging in horribly embarrassing puppy love behavior. i hope i get to spend some time with him soon.

wow, vomit. sorry about that little rant. moving on.

My first semester of school is almost over. HOORAY! of course it's been procrastination station. i don't do school work any other way. on wednesday i'll be done with all my big stuff and i can coast on to sweet sweet summer. where i only have to worry about the job i hate and coaching amazing girls with some less than stellar parents. not all of them, just a few.

Email i got from one parent today:

Jenna,

I am concerned with the cheer that was said right before our team took the field in the 2nd half of yesterday's game against Pike.  If I heard correctly, I believe the girls ended the cheer with something along the lines of "we're going to kick your what?".  If this is somewhat accurate, then I think it is quite obvious that "what" is to be replaced with another word.  I personally don't believe this is appropriate for the girls to be cheering.  This is disrespectful to the other team and it reflects poorly on ZYSA, the parents of this team, and yourself.  I hope you will have the girls refrain from saying this cheer in the future.  If I heard this incorrectly, please advise me, but I know other parents at the game interpreted it as I had.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. I replied back that i understand and will make sure the girls use other cheers. Soccer parents, their a whole different breed.

We got a win and a tie this weekend...and they played AWESOME both games. i was very happy about that.

Man. monday night TV is killlllling me:

One Tree Hill

How I met Your Mother

House

the Hills

I CAN'T DECIDE!!!!!

My second book i ordered from Amazon came yesterday. Scroll down if you don't remember what i bought.

I've been reading and researching, and I'm pretty excited about the possibility to doing this. like  ACTUALLY doing this. of course my mantra in my head is "not until you finish school"

who needs a masters when you can write amazing scripts?

"not until you finish school"

but thats so long away. what if i lose the tenacity to move to LA and try this?

"not until you finish school"

damn you mind. why can't that nagging thought get out!?!??!

but at least some things are going well here. the head coach at Zionsville High School is interested in me coaching their freshman team. i was very flattered. i'm not sure if i could do it, it's much more of a committment and i have what else...SCHOOL twice a week. and they shoud practice every day.

besides this blog, i haven't written much new material. i find myself too tired to at the end of the day. but this weekend i just have games to coach and i'm gonna go some major relaxing and hopefully some writing.

my life is complete now that How I Met Your Mother, One Tree Hill, and The Office are all new and back in my life. I've also been netflixing My Name is Earl...amazing show. But it's time to get ready for the new Indiana Jones movie. I always loved how Indiana was in his name. I feel special.

Little 500 was this weekend. Solid b+ weekend. points taken away for one of my friends having a meltdown outside of bennys. but other than that, i had a BLAST. played in the alumni game, got real drunk, creeped on some freshman. woke up on monday and decided that those kind of weekends should be left for the young and in shape. i feel like i was beat with a sockful of nickles.

it's so nice out. makes me want to run and run and run. and when i have time, i do. i run until my lungs burn, my legs ache, and until the music in my ears drown out my thoughts of los angeles, being a failure, and having a mediocre life.

Jordan! MOVE TO LA WITH ME AND LETS WRITE SCRIPTS TOGETHER.

Ladies and Gents, i present to you the pride and joy of the SJC 2008 alumni game:

I'm catching up on all season three of How I Met Your Mother on CBS.com...that is what i'll be doing today instead of working.

I have my second interview on monday for First Advantage. Apparently the manager of that business unit wants to meet me. No pressure.

I hope I get it. If I don't...i'm gonna throw ramen noodles around my office until i get fired. i figure it's the silliest way to go out.
