It's been a day of drama.....
Sometimes I can never figure out where the day goes. The morning started on a promising note - but then it went to hell after that. Had some problems with my 4 year old after he tumbled at school - spent a good portion of the day at the hospital.
Ever been to the emergency room? Emergency my a@@. You need to have an eyeball fall out and blood squirt from your eye socket before anyone takes a look at you. BTW...my son's Godfather is a ER doctor and says that if you want to be waited on in under an hour - you need to come in bleeding - the more blood the better. He wasn't kidding!
My readings - didn't get done. Had to reschedule all for Friday.
My Dead Zone spec script that I'm trying to write - I'm about to pull my hair out. It's getting better - at least now it reads like an episode of DZ.
Last night's dreams - in school AGAIN! There was a short scene though - where I sat with three friends and they did not like another friend of mine who was not there. They didn't trust her. I think that stems from my friends and an ex client/friend who ripped me off $900.00.
Did I ever tell that story? An ex friend of mine, we'll call her "D", was "helping" me get my gypsy script into the hands of the actors who I wanted to play the main parts. It was decided that it would be best if I had an entertainment lawyer - since she was in LA and in the "biz" she said she'd hook me up. Long story short - when I went out to LA in Nov 2004, I called the place she said she had retained for me. They never heard of me. She wouldn't give me a contacts name or number - said she wasn't at the office - but her car - and didn't have the info with her. Now, she lives in LA, and you spend A LOT of time in your car - but come on!
My inner voice told me something was off when I sent her the money - I ignored it, IGNORED it! What an idiot! I thought -- this person knows more about me and my life than anyone - she's my best girlfriend - what do I have to be worried about?
Well - I emailed the lawyers office when I got back to Ohio. Explained who my contact was and whom she worked for and could my info be under either one of the names? I talked to "D" shortly after the law office emailed me back and said "No" to all. "D" freaked on me and said that I did HER wrong. That once someone does her wrong she wants no part of them. Her relationship with the script and me was over. She promised to send me my money back once I sent her copies of the canceled checks. I sent them 4 times. No money.
I did HER wrong? Can you believe that? Then I talk to the manager and the agent of the actor she said she had a meeting with - and they never heard of her. Talk about wanting to kick my a@@ straight to the curb. I can't even begin to describe the hurt I felt - I was crushed.
So whom did I run into when I was in LA last week? Yep - "D". I was leaving a Starbucks in Simi Valley - she was entering. I knew it was her before she got close to me - she had the nerve to take off her sunglass and glare right at me - I glared right back. Did I say anything? Nope? I was actually pretty darn proud cause the old me of a few years ago would of beat the livin' crap out of her. But now I know that the universe will take care of her. Not only did she mess with me and attract that negativity - but also with the 5 million or so gypsies that died during the holocaust. It was their story she trampled on and made a mockery out of. I wouldn't wish that type of negativity on anyone. I wish her luck - cause she's going to need it. Did I tell you about the rock I found while on the beach in Malibu? No? Okay - I'll save it for tomorrow!
Have a good one!
