... but procrastinating because they will take a lot out of me:
-- the time I was stranded on the scary El stop in Rogers Park and feared I was going to be raped (why did I fear I was going to be raped? Because a big group of scary dudes had said to me, "We'll be waitin' for you at the bottom of the steps. We gonna rape you." I don't know - I felt like they really made themselves clear) - and had to call my friends to come get me (and then later got yelled at by M. because I didn't call HIM)
-- the time I rented a porn video at my local store
-- the time I went to a callback for a sci-fi movie and realized - halfway thru the audition - that I was being screened for a high-class call girl service (and again, when I told M. about it, he yelled at me. hahahaha Dude was always yelling at me, but I somehow found it refreshing)
-- about me and Mitchell's "bad time"
-- the night I got my revenge on the doppelganger for breaking my heart. It was subtle revenge. The best kind. Plausible deniability all the way.
-- about the perfume bottle spilling in my bag in acting class in Philadelphia and what happened afterwards because of it
-- the night I spent with Alec in Boston. A watershed moment. One day I was isolated and damaged, and the next day I had joined the human race
They all sound interesting to me. On a selfish note, I'm still hoping to hear your reaction to The Cowboys, although I know you might not have gotten the chance to watch it.

Posted by: red at March 15, 2008 8:16 AMI wasn't sure if you had seen it, or not, given the timing. I'm eager to hear your thoughts, but, obviously, I can wait until the appropriate time--as long as there is lots of shallow elitism in your appraisal.

Wait...was it a part as a call girl or an actual call girl? How did one evolve from the other? Was it some kind of sci-fi call girl that specializes in clients at ComicCon and GenCon and Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con and stuff like that? I'm so confused. I hope you write this one soon.

No, it was a scam!! They advertised it as though it was a movie - but what it REALLY was - was a screening for a call girl service. I mean, I have no proof except the weirdness of the audition - which almost became my "Coco from Fame" story.
Weirdest story ever. I'll write it eventually!
