The finalists for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation Student Internship Program for summer 2008 have been selected. Unfortunately, you were not chosen for this year's program. The judges, who are all members of the Academy and work in the area in which you submitted, carefully reviewed your entry materials. As the number of submissions continues to grow each year, the competition was, as always, very tough. Not being chosen as a finalist should not discourage you. This is an extremely competitive industry and it is important that you continue to work toward your goals.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh. Offff course. I'm not sure why,but a small part of me really thought i had a chance. i chose not to smother that little voice in my head. it felt good to believe for awhile. oh well. next year.
also, people disappoint me. another broken promise, another reason to move on. thank you.
This summer i want to crank out a couple of spec scripts. One for How I Met your Mother, and and original one. And katie from class says her friend is starting a publishing company and wants some writers. I guess I should really put a dent in my collection of short stories.
Grad school is done for the summer, yet why do i feel like i have no time still. oh that's because i keep taking on activities that i dont really have the time for. like coaching a high school team. while working full time. and getting my masters. and coaching a u12 team. what...is....the matter with me? i don't have the answers.
maybe if i'm so busy i dont have time to stop and think about the disappointments.
last nights episode of the Office...priceless. Of course i had a soccer game at the same time so i watched it at work this morning. they get better and better. SEASON FINALE NEXT WEEK! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

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:
Greetings from Cincinatti, OH. me and my mom just got done with two games. Well, i got done coaching...she got done picking fights with the other teams parents. just like old time. apparently the other teams parents were mad because they called a goal back. it went out of bounds, bent back in, and went in the goal. to all you non-soccer players...that equals not a goal. but it was a big deal to the parents. my mom calmy explained (After the ref did as well) that it means that the ball was out of bounds first. the dad points his finger at my mom and says:
"IF this ends in a 1-1 tie..."
"...what? your kid won't go to college,you'll lose your house, and won't be able to buy groceries? it's a 12 year olds soccer game, get over it."
to which his very witty reply to my mom was:
"YOU get over it."
ohhhh soccer parents. i hate them.
anyways, we lost both our games today. bummer. but we played very well the second game. i think my girls were more excited to go to the indoor waterpark our hotel has. and who wouldn't be? plus, it FRICKING freezing standing out there yelling at my girls to "MARK UP!"
i had some aches in my heart seeing all the girls running around and playing. i mean, soccer tournaments were my life from age 12-18. last time i was with my mom at a hotel, we were playing my last tournament in portage, MI and i had a pulled hamstring, since it was my last tournament, i played anyways. now, if you've never had a pulled hamstring, it's horribly painful. you are very restricted in movement. poor me was put up at forward since i would do less damage up there. me being a defender my whole life...well, i was lost. but i limped and gimped my way into scoring a goal. and thats how i got nicknamed Llama, because of the way i was running my coach yelled out, "c'mon LLAMA!" memories.
now i'm being put up in fancy hotels and bundling up in as much zionsville gear as possible to stand on the sidelines and attempt to coach my girls to victory. not so much this weekend, but their having a good time. lord knows i dont want to be the person to make them hate soccer.
good thing i love hanging out with my mom. we're going out to dinner at olive garden and then probably hanging out tonight. as for right now, i'm gonna take a nap. i was up at 630 this morning. vomit.
Um, i had a dream about John Krasinski last night. I was Jenna Fisher's understudy (?) on the show and so I was on set and shooting scenes and everything. Then he asked me to dinner and met my mom. And when we left together people were taking our pictures, paparazzi style. I remember walking with him and just keeping my head down as cameras flashed in my face. Then all of a sudden i was marrying Mark, the last guy i dated. like, it was my wedding day and i didnt wanna marry him seeing as i dated him for maybe 3 weeks and havent talked to him in a couple months. i already had my rings and everything and the limo and whatnot. i just kept telling people how i didnt wanna marry him.
so a great dream turned into a what the hell? dream. i did like the parts with John just because they seemed very real. Tooooo cute. Shall we decode the dream? Sure.
To see a marriage in your dream, signifies commitment, harmony or transitional period. You are undergoing an important developmental phase in your life. The dream may also represent the unification of formerly separate or opposite aspects of yourself. In particular, it is the union of masculine or feminine aspects of yourself. Dreams involving weddings are generally negative and highlight some anxiety or fear. It often refers to feelings of bitterness, sorrow, or death. Alternatively, wedding dreams reflect your issues about commitment and independence.To see a wedding ring in your dream, represents completeness and eternal love. If you are not married and find a wedding ring, then it may mean that your personal relationship has reached a new level
Oh. I definitely have anxiety when it comes to committment. I don't want any part of that.
Dreaming of any particular celebrity often reveals a fantasy for friendship or romance.
These dreams may also show a sense of being a peer or equal to that celebrity, as if to say, 'I can do that, too.' A second aspect of this phenomenon is living vicariously through a celebrity. In this instance, people will assume a peculiar sense of participation with a public figure's success and notoriety.
Yep, definitely a fantasy. And i can do that too. Bitches.
Well, this past week was very busy. And this weekend I'll be in Cincinnatti coaching my girls at the Mid-American Soccer Classic. I'd love to come home with a trophy. But as long as we play well, i'll be a happy coach.
I think the song I'm listening to as I blog is appropriate:
And Finally, your John Krasinski fix for the day:
Next time I'll blog I'll be at the hotel in Cinci probably. Enjoy the friday, kids.
Siiiiigh, it's monday.
The good news is that things are changing here at Russell LLC. which might make it bearable until i can find a new job. Or until I get my internship for the summer. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let that happen.
My editor just moved into my office with me, and we've been girl talking about guys. She just got into a relationship and she asked me if i was dating anyone.
"In real life, or in my head?"
In my head i'm married to Landon Donovan, seriously dating John Krasinski, and having a fling with Zac Efron on the side. wow, slutty even in my own imagination.
I deemed myself a while ago not emotionally mature enough to be in a serious relationship. I still want to run around with my friends (when i have the time), and i want to be able to pick up my life and move should i have the chance to advance my career. I never though i would be the girl to throw herself into her career over being in love, but that path looks very appealing right now. I don't have time, and I'm just not ready. Sure, I have crushes and shared smiles with guys at bars or in school....but nothing makes my heart flip more than the thought of chasing my dreams across the country should i get the opportunity.
This weekend was wonderful. I spent it with my mom, who took me shopping and we went to get dinner at STIR CRAZY which is amazing chinese food. We saw leatherheads which was just a fantastic movie. Really loved the old time feel too it, and the quick dialogue and slapstick elements along with that amazing soundtrack really made it enjoyable. and of course, john was flawless in it. oh, and george clooney was his same old sexy self. GO SEE IT!
A long week ahead, school, work and practices. Then its off to Ohio for my first big tournament with my girls. I'm not sure how the competition will be, but wish us luck!
There is a banner on the side of this page as im writing this about ALL NEW NBC THURSDAYS. you know you're definitely not in college anymore when you're more excited for that than for what used to be "thirsty thursdays" and usually the biggest drinking night of the week.
Things to get excited about:
- little 5 weekend with my best friends and playing some real soccer in the alumni game
- new episodes of the office and how i met your mother
- great movies coming out soon (indiana jones, sex and the city)
- disney trip for my sisters 30th birthday
- punta cana for a week with meggy
- life in general.
