Last night, I finally got the new RAM needed for my laptop and sent it over to Jerry's house to have him install it and fix my laptop. Well, it didnt matter because by the time he got to it, the hard drive had crashed. CRASHED.
*sigh*
So, I either need a new hard drive around $100, and then try to install the new RAM $60, and then ty to fix it again.... or just buy a new laptop. (at least$500) I am not in a position to do ANYTING right now, unfortunately, as I have no real steady income. So, I'm not going to do anything about it, except use other people's computers (which dont work so well because my reume and most of my photos are on my laptop. Good news is, Jerry saved a backup of my data, mostly music and pictures, AND my resume (thank God!)
I am back to extra work right now. Today is my day off. Though tomorrow will be tricky, I have 3 birthdays to get to, after work (because ER called me back for thurs)! Cassie is having her 22nd bday (yay!) party in hollywood, which I can probably make ater work bc she stays up late. However, my grandma and cousin Tim are having their Bdays together at my house tomorrow afternoon! errrg... maybe I will see if I can do a night call tonight so I can be there tomorrow...hmm..
In the mean time, I have taken my focus off of acting for two reasons. One, it is STRESSING me out really bad, bc there are sooo so many things that I want to do, but can't do right now.
Two, bc I am broke and I barely have enough gas to get me to auditions and I need to focus on getting my credit cards paid off, getting my car fixed, getting my laptop fixed or buy a new one and focus on moving out of BFNohwere (aka simi), and I can't do any of that without a steady, good income. And I can't focus on making money if I'm focing on trying to act.
Unfotunately.
I'm not saying I'm quitting, or giving up. Just the opposite in fact. I am preparing myself for a career of rainy days, auditions and submissions, all of which I need money, a car and a laptop! As much as I hate it, I need to focus on money right now. I'm not saying that during this time I won't be doing little short films here and there that I can afford to do, but I wont be doing anything too time consuming. I don't know where I'll be working next, or even durning the hiatus, but I'll find something!
Promo work.... well, as me and my good friend Cassie have come to find, promo work is easy and a great source of money..... IF YOU EVER GET PAID! I worked an event for Latinconcepts inc back in March and I was about to call them AGAIN, (6th time) and demand to know where my check was... and then it just came in the mail today. whew! I got lucky. But one thing is for sure! I WILL NOT BE COUNTING ON PROMO WORK EVER AGAIN, UNLESS IT PAYS CASH SAME DAY.
I'll probably pick up a serving job and just work as much as humanly possible till have the money I need to move out... if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear em :)
Also, Ryan is finally moving out of Simi! (yaaay!)
As of June 1st (hey, that was my goal!) Ryan will move in with his college friends, Johnny and Jackson (who just happen to be a producer and an actor/writer). He will be living in LA, off of olympic/pico. I am so happy for him!
In the mean time, please keep me in your prayers as I rough it out these next few months....
xoxo
