In over my head but excited for the challenge

My diary hasn't seen ink in a long time. Perhaps it's time to get it out again to write in it what I can't write here for others to view. Just a thought.
Things that others can view...

Opposites Attract is in full swing. I'm really excited about this project and believe that it's going to reignite my passion and drive for the entertainment industry. We have 70% of the cast and I am casting for the remaining roles on Tuesday. Steve will be producing and I'm privileged to work with such a talented person. I have a talented team and for my directorial debut, I'm nervous but know I have a lot of support for me with the adventure that this will be.

James has been super supportive. I couldn't ask for more. I know he is just as excited about it as I am. (Well, maybe not that much) but I know that he will support me with whatever crazy ideas that I have. It's a wonderful feeling to have someone that cares that much. :)

As for work... I have an interview tomorrow for the job that I'm currently sitting in. I am being interviewed by a panel of 3 people that I currently work with. Some would think that this is easier to walk into an interview with people you know, but I don't. I think it is 10 times harder. They already know how you work, your work ethic and whether or not you do the job well so what does that leave you to say with your answers? I think I stand a good chance because I know that I am good at my job. I just have to prove it in half an hour by giving the right answers and using the STAR method. I do not want to drop back to an APS3 position so I hope that I can stay at this level for the remainder of my contract (or of course move further up). I don't like taking backwards steps!

James and I booked our trip to the States! I'm so super excited about this. We go to LA, San Fran, Vegas and New York and on the way home have a luxury stop over at a resort in Fiji for a few days. James can snorkel whilst I mingle with the locals and work on my tan. I'm looking forward to seeing friends that I haven't seen in a while in LA, soaking up the atmosphere of San Fran, playing a few tourney's at the casino's in Vegas and singing on broadway in New York. Going to be a spectacular trip. I just hope I can get enough funds before then to fund it all! LOL.

In other news... I came 55th out of 524 runners for that tourney the other week. Top 53 pay out. Naturally I was extremely disappointed. I know that I can play poker and I know that I am somewhat good at it. One day I'll win a nice decent tourney. I'm trying to satellite into the FTP500. I think that will be a worthwhile tournament to play. I enjoy poker and one day will make my first major win and I'm hoping the FTP500 will be it!

I have this need to prove myself. I sometimes feel that in some way I don't have my own identity. I'm always, someone's sister or someone's friend or that girl I once knew. I am yet to make my mark on the world. I don't know what it will be in or when it will happen but mark my words... it will happen. Someone once told me to not take no for an answer. And I intend on sticking to that and working towards my goals.

Til next time.
