Last night, Katy and I went to see this off-Broadway play her mom got us tickets for called "Love, Loss, and what I Wore" and got coffee and dessert after at a restaurant nearby called Rachel's. The play was really good, there was a monologue I really liked about how women are with their purses, and how relationships are like that perfect white tee. The loss of the perfect, basic t-shirt is like a hole in your life that you try to fill or replace, and it should be easy to do, since the tee shirt is everywhere, however that one that fit you so perfectly again is really hard to find.. but at least you know what you're looking or waiting for. Katy and I took a nice walk after and happened upon this cute restaurant that was playing live jazz. Some guy and girl sang a really nice acoustic version of "Greatest fan of your life" by edwin mccain...

"you're my living proof,
my love is alive and not dead
I'll be you're crying shoulder, I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older...
I'll be the greatest fan in your life"

"The Encounter" Behind the Scenes pics

Tomorrow night, there will be a picture bomb of all the behind the scenes of my happenings, thanks to the always incredible John Nolan, my friend and really good photographer.
I shot two films recently, "The Encounter" (screening this friday) and "Struck at First Sight". In "The Encounter" I'm led around the city on a treasure hunt to find this guy, got to work with the cutest child actor. In "Struck at First Sight" Keith (who is super talented: http://keitheng.net/ ) directed me in a short film about two guys vying to impress their 'perfect girl' and only one succeeds, in an unusual way. So pics will be coming...
Some good stuff is about to happen but i'll tell you more when it's for sure and done with. Still doing design work, and thanks to Christy I might have some very good news.... ahhhh i want to tell it all now. Just gotta give it a day.
I met my roommate for the next three weeks yesterday, and she's really nice. I've just been doing my best lately, and trying to do my thing while still caring about someone. but it's hard sometimes. You know, trying to do your thing while someone else does there's, and wondering if they think about you at the same time. I just need Booty around and i'll be okay :) she's stretched out on my lap right now and is being very cute.

You know, I got this fantasy.
...                  
Going somewhere, you know,
like, somewhere really...               
clean. 
                 
- Clean?
- Yeah.
                 
No scumbags telling you what to do.
Nobody yelling at you all the time.
                 
Someplace you could just be.
                 
Be yourself.
    
No bad stuff.

That sounds good.

(from the movie Gigli watched it tonight while I was supposed to be reading over the three films scripts coming up.

One year. I'm giving myself one year to learn how to live happily with myself.
Gonna get my life together, schedule so things don't conflict, feel life again every day the way I used too.
I can be too demanding, of myself, my relationships with other people. I'm going to work on all that. August 7th 2011.

Had a nice dinner tonight and realized that things could turn out alright. I already knew really, but I have a lot of hope in the future, while being a realist. With good people showing more kindness to me than I could have ever expected lately, I can only hope to return that in time.
Meeting my new agent Shirley next week to sign the papers! I'm officially signing with the woman who's son played Turk on Scrubs! haha.

Andrea Chen. A girl who doesn't know what she is or who she is. But is learning.

I wrote a rhyme today, regarding everybody:

You can't know what I'm going through
If you did, you wouldn't act the way you do.

an update on my last post.
I need to stop whining about my life and feeling like i'm being continually punched in the stomach. I've always been a fighter, since I did pushups as a baby in my crib. I'm going to do everything I can to make my life great.
