flaw of mine: i seldom stick to things that i want to.
why: because i worry about other's feelings.
outcome: anger + confusion, allowing others to trample over what i believe is right because i'd much rather not have any drama.
change: this.

life, as in now.
4th day working and there is nothing exciting or inspiring about this lobby.
but i'm trying to write anyway.
this month has been going by so fast and even though we are only about 8 days into it, i want to try to live each day slowly and not take it for granted.
i turn 25 this year (in about 2 months) and i'm a bit numb about this.
i know that it's not terribly old and even if it is-i should embrace it (like Maya Angelou says-ha) but this year is looming over me.
-in other news, Leon sent me a text today with the picture of a dead bird next to a coffee cup. I'm not sure what it all means.
-Jordyn is on a fur coat kick and I love it.
-Ophelia likes to chew dirty clothes late at night
-and I think that Chelsea Handler is one of the funniest women alive.

5,000 dollars
last night at the hotel, a drunk man threatened to attack me,
for no reason other than he couldn't understand himself.
i felt sorry for him but at the same time, i wanted to see him fall for his actions-so i called the police.
sadly, they came too late and he escaped.
his name was david bevington.
he had 5,000 dollars in his right hand pocket.
(he was a business man)
tonight has been pretty uneventful.

video
we filmed the video for "(in) reverse" yesterday with an amazing photographer named Robert Ascroft and his crew from 3star productions. Needless to say, everything was very surreal and legit. A crew of 5 came out to the Georgetown woods to film little ol' sc kids-there was a fog machine, wind machine, lights, poles, metal things, boxes, vans, and all that crazy stuff.
surreal. too crazy.
anyway, i am so grateful for the experience.
even though the crew was/is very professional (i mean, they shoot Mariah Carey, VOGUE models, Brad Pitt, etc etc) they were so down to earth and not intimidating at all (once we all met one another). Working with them really made me "trust" LA and allowed me some hope afterall for the city. They could have been assholes (just because they have an overwhelming repuation) but they were some of the sweetest people we have met.
I must admit, I am a bit intimidated to see the overall video. It should be finished with editing in about 3 weeks. I had to wear makeup (for lighting puropses) and I wore Jordyn's fur vest...and some amazing (yet very unlike me normally ) boots-...ah. I was definatly out of my comfort zone but at the same time, it was fun to try something new and be a bit out of my element. The boys and Dani wore all black and for the most part were able to wear more of their style. So, saying that-that is the only thing that I am a little hesitant about. It was fun and a great experience and I really hope that this video portrays the song. I believe it will.
Everything lately has been a bit new for us (the band). We are not really used to anything (other than playing music) so I guess it's all a bit overwhelming, but in a good way. I just want to be productive with music.
Sorry for the rambling but I've never shot a video before so I'm a bit apprehensive. I don't want to come across as something that I am not. I'm not a very dramatic person or flashy. But i'm excited for the video because it challenged me .
