bllllahrg, and FAN, I AM.  
It's 2am. I've actually been doing homework for the last two hours (because I told myself I was allowed to stay up late but only if I used it for homework,) and I just wanted to share how much of a weirdo I have become.

It's been fun doing this film-script writing course this semester partly because the lecturer never talks like our dreams aren't a reality. He's always like, 'when you've finished your script and sent it off to the producers you'll want to do such and such.' And, 'once your script is being made...blah blah blah' Which, I dunno, I've found a slightly odd experience because getting a novel finished to the point where I could send it to publishers has always been SUCH a far away goal, I mean, I've barely made a dent in any of my original works, so it's not something I think about being realised very often.

However, at the moment I'm working on a pilot episode for what I've planned as being an anime series, but could also easily work as a live action series, or even about three movies, depending on how the plot and characters are developed. Anyway, long story short, all this talk of actually getting a script developed made me think about the who/where/when/what/hows of it, and suddenly, (while thinking about Spn, coz I do a lot) I decided that it would be perfect if my show was being developed right as S5 finished, and if I could snag Jensen AND Jared to be in my show. (It's perfect! They could be together! It's an ensemble cast so they don't have to work so hard! They're interesting characters! We could film in LA! Everything they waaaaaant.) And somehow, this idle thought has developed into this whole THING and now I'm basing the characters really strongly around how the boys would portray that sort of character (Jensen's character wears GLASSES, guys!) and now the characters are in LOVE. (well, they will be, ever.)

But... now my heart is REALLY SET ON IT! And it's about 99.999% likely to end in tragedy for my poor, silly heart.

But! But! I just wanted to share my silliness because how AWESOME would that be, eh guys? I could be all sneaky and get them to LEGITIMATELY MAKE OUT ON CAMERA. And they would all think it was just because of their characters. *snorts*

Anyway, other than sharing with everyone JUST HOW ELABORATE my flights of fancy can be, I just wanted to bounce for joy a little because my draft for the pilot is almost done and... seriously now, once this is ready I actually CAN send this pilot away, like, NOW, to potential producers. And that's sort of... insane and scary and exciting. I'm completely in love with this story and even if (due to my inexperience) I don't get taken on as a writer of the full series, I'd love to see this made, because I think it really rocks and has strong selling potential.

That is all, I am still overwhelmed by uni work. My calendar is a solid wall of blocked out work/study/otherstuff for the next two weeks. Sorry for long rambling post. Love love!

Pretty much 90% of the lecturers in Arts here are like, brilliant and encouraging and really smart and awesome. Which is why our uni is better than yours. cynicism is not regarded as cool. XP

Well, we probably should film in Canada, it's just that the boys complain about being away from their friends and family all the time. BUT if they were in an ensemble cast they'd have more free time for visiting! *heaps them with love and cuddles* You want to be IN it? Since when do you have acting aspirations? You'd do a good Patricia, actually. You CAN read it. Just... when it's done. Which is not now. I would LIKE it to be now, but I have to go to stupid tutorial.

Dude, when does interac get back to you? I think you should apply for jobs while you're down here. *nods*

i wouldn't say they were cynical exactly. possibly apathetic. plus there are a million ways to measure 'better.'

film in nz xD lol i've always had acting aspirations, just never the courage to commit. i'm contemplating a postgrad diploma in theatre or something. i'm actually a pretty good actor, considering the lack of training. my ultimate wish in life is to run off to LA and join the millions of waiter/actresses. sighs.

in a week or so. i might do that. i don't know what i'm going to do with myself. the length of time it takes interac and jet to get around to me makes everything seem like a pipe dream not worth wasting time on.

They always seem so depressing in the stories you tell! That's true, though.

Hahaha, technically in terms of the imagery I'm personally using the best would be Japan, but anyway, if someone wants to actually make it I don't really care where! Well, if it does get made, I'll use my 'influence' to get you an audition, yeah? XDDDD

I just keep seeing 'positions available' signs in the mall and I'm like, 'mimei must come and play with me at worrrrk!' I don't think any dream is a pipe dream if you genuinely put logical effort and preparation into it, which you most certainly have. I dunno, maybe you need to work full-time for a year and then re-apply for JET with some 'life experience' on your CV. (Which is such a stupid thing to require. Like, hello, it's not like being at uni you have been disconnected from 'life'. grr.)

It started snowing so I didn't go to my tutorial. Am I a bad person? Must go wrrrriiiiiite!

i probably only talk about the really bad ones? idk, sighs.

lots you can do with filters and angles and special effects anyway. a lot of the world looks like everywhere. xD sounds great.

lol i'll print out a bunch of CVs or something. tbh i don't think it's life experience that lost me the position, and i don't know if i'm prepared to devote 2 years of my post-grad life to just applying for JET, no matter how long i've wanted to do it. i just don't know... much rather fly away...

oooooooooooo snow.
