Job Confirmation Energy

 I got the job! And now I'm on this person's radar for future jobs.

It's a big deal. It's a good feeling. This is the first job I've applied for and gotten on my own. It's the first time I won't know anyone else on set.

Ahhhh things are happening!

Can you feel it? It's a train. Is it coming? Is it coming this way?

Callback

I have fallen behind with the travel blog. That's okay, I have my Tik Tok videos.

One of my former colleagues gave the advice to keep a journal about my time in production, and that is what I should be most frequent in writing.

I have begun trolling all the facebook groups for prospects. I'm looking at production and theatre in New York. And I'm applying to short term gigs in LA whilst I'm still here. There is a production management internship in New York that would be the perfect leg in on the theatre side. I am nervous the limited production experience I have won't sell well into that role. I also got an out of office message when I emailed my resume. Still, I think that should just give me time.

I realized that if I had something lined up in New York, I wouldn't be able to stay for the party. I won't have to say "one more week won't hurt." It does hurt because I feel like I have been waiting for so long. But patience is good, I must keep patient. I did update my resume and I'm getting acclimated to the environment where I don't get a response and where they tell me I'm not experienced enough. It'll be good to numb myself since there will be a lot of that coming up.

Today though, I got a callback for a PA position on a short film. It was a nice lady who was curious about the career pivot. She liked my vibe and said, "I want to help you." That kindness is ever so appreciated and very much welcomed. I put myself out there and exuded the confidence I have behind the fear. Hopefully this pans out.

Velour Tracksuits

Dear Dream Diary,

Velour tracksuits have been on my mind lately. They were all the rage when I was in high school. I listen to One Tree Hill and The OC rewatch podcasts, so I hear the commentary on the tracksuits worn by Julie Cooper and Deb Scott. 

Now, Paris Hilton has a cooking show on Netflix. She has worn at least two velour tracksuits. I want one. I want one bad. It would have been so cool to wear them at all the airports I just went to. 

The universe heard me say that because I went thrifting on Monday. I was on the hunt for a Teen Witch costume for Vegas later this month. My focus was on assembling that outfit. Yet, I found myself in front of a section where they were selling sets. I found one in my size and in blue for $7.99. Yes please.

The tracksuits have even penetrated my dreams. Last night, I dreamt Barbara Alyn Woods gave gifts to Sophia Bush, Hilarie Burton, James Lafferty, and myself (I believe I was Bethany Joy Lenz). Everyone got a tracksuit. Mine wasn't velour, it was like the athletic warmup James got.

In any case, us girls all had a second piece of clothing in the gift box. Sophia had a purple Clothes Over Bros shirt. Hilarie got a leather jacket, but it was cropped. I got a Ravens raglan and shorts.

I'd be very pleased with any of those gifts in real life, especially if they were One Tree Hill themed.
