Filming, Journaling and Projects

  Filming at Home

Allowing people to come into your home and film is a big risk you take. My roommates and I rent out our home all the time to people but the thing is, yes they pay us but it is really annoying. I don't like being home alone too much which is probably why I live  with 3 other roommates. I love it cause I can be alone when I want and also have the house to myself a lot. But on the flip side of that I also can hang out with a roomie or neighbor and that's nice too. So I get the best of both worlds. But this last film crew have been for a legit production company. So there start showing up at 5:45 am and are here till sundown. It's crazy and busy and theirs like 30 people here at all times which is crazy to me. I walk out and get these looks like I've never seen her before (duh cause I live here) lol. It's not too bad I get some free grub and worse if I don't like it I just go eat some of my own food. :) the art director is really sweet and she is always checking on me cause I stick around I don't like people being here when none of us are you know? 

Lately I have been journalism a lot. I figured if I start journalist maybe it will help me with my bad habit of gossiping and blurting things out (99% of the time about myself) that no one really needs to know or wants to know. Like who cares if I got sick off of peanut butter once? Lol. It's been really healthy for me. I also have decided to start writing again like I use to back in the day. I miss it. I truly truly do. I use to write for a lot of things like poems, blogs, articles, short stories, novels, books, etc... I need to start harboring my creativeness a little more. 

Lately I have been getting into doing little projects here and there. One project I started thanks to Ms. Tara Pitt she got me stuff to knit with for my birthday and so I have been trying to knitt with it but it's hard I will tell you that. I also went through a bunch of my clothes and got rid of them ones that don't fit or unstylish etc. well the ones that were too big I tried to make into other articles of clothing and it was a partial success partial epic fail. I'll have to attach a photo maybe later of the jacket I cut up for a running outfit and well it failed miserably. Another one that I started was redesigning and organizing my room which I almost get done finishing and than start over with a new look. I think deep down I was meant to be an interior designer a bit, or a merchandiser! Because when I was little I use to rearrange my room all the time when I couldn't sleep and poor Brittany had to wake up and be disoriented cause I moved everything around :-( last project has been me getting involved in some photography/modeling it's been a lot of fun. I did a shoot the other day where they cut and colored my hair it was a before/after shoot. Really neat and cool!

Until next time :-). BEE

Life lessons

I came across this online Thought I'd share!!



45 LIFE LESSONS, WRITTEN BY A 90 YEAR OLD

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short not to enjoy it.

4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.

5. Don’t buy stuff you don’t need.

6. You don’t have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.

7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for things that matter.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

12. It’s OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye… But don’t worry; God never blinks.

16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful.  Clutter weighs you down in many ways.

18. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.

19. It’s never too late to be happy.  But it’s all up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Overprepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words, ‘In five years, will this matter?’

27. Always choose Life.

28. Forgive but don’t forget.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give Time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.

35. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d
grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have, not what you think you need.

42. The best is yet to come…

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.
