He and Mitchell bonded instantly.  He&#8217;s a good companion.  I must rattle on like a bimbo.  This is what my journals have become about.  I just CANNOT write about the big bad wolf.  Can&#8217;t.  Some people use journals to hash shit out.  I used to use my journal in that way.  And now all I do is talk about boys.  Golden Boy is teaching me so much &#8211; and not just about acting.  It&#8217;s about escape.  The value of escape.  I write and write and write about all of my BOYS.  Gives me &#8230; joy?  Maybe not joy.  But I have not one iota of desire to write about my demons in here.  I need to push them away.<\/p>\n<p>I will rave about men and analyze the tiniest encounters and dwell obsessively upon miniscule moments and have entire relationships in my head &#8211; beginning middle end &#8230; I am fucking evolved enough.  Time for escape.  Escape thru P.M. and the M. Saga.  Last night, Jackie, David, Mitchell and I went to see P.M. &#8211; I made them go &#8211; and it was his birthday at midnight &#8211; we all got noise blowers &#8211; there was cake &#8211; bagpipes &#8211; a girl riverdanced for him &#8211; He blew out the candles.  I wonder what he&#8217;s really like, and if I will ever get to know him.<\/p>\n<p>But meanwhile.  I am in total M. Mania.  He truly is a sweetheart.  He <u>is<\/u>.  Drunken bacchanals notwithstanding.  He is a totally <u>fucked up<\/u> sweetheart.  He&#8217;s got a good heart pounding in there.<\/p>\n<p>A sad heart &#8211; but a good one.<\/p>\n<p>\n<p>\n&#8212; Bryan smoking smoke rings<br \/>\n&#8212; Amelia in white &#8211; she looks so fragile &#8211; absolutely breakable<br \/>\n&#8212; Michael &#8211; hair slicked back &#8211; he bruised a couple ribs over the weekend &#8211; now walks like an old man.  I am bonding with Michael.  We make each other giggle like irresponsible maniacs and Bobby has to tell us to shut up.<\/p>\n<p>\n<p>\n10\/1<br \/>\n*<u>Listen<\/u> &#8211; so that you&#8217;re ready to go when you talk &#8211; Listening is <u>forward-propelled<\/u><\/p>\n<p>Sc. 2 &#8211; Get back the drowsiness &#8211; until later in the scene<br \/>\nFight: don&#8217;t play the end of it.

Germs assault me after a catharsis &#8230; so now I am sick sick sick.  And this is the closing weekend of Golden Boy.  Lots of anxiety and sadness about that.  But right now I am battling these germs with every ounce of energy I have.  Clenching up again.  My skin is peeling, my nose is chapped.  I feel gross.  Woke up groggy 2 nights ago, fucked up from Nyquil but aware too that something was SERIOUSLY WRONG.  I felt AWFUL.  Stumbled blindly to the toilet and proceeded to get sick for half an hour.  I&#8217;m just breaking down all over the place.  Systems fucking shutting DOWN.  When I get sick, I get sick like I do everything else in my life.  I do it BIG. With a fucking flourish.<\/p>\n<p>\n<p>\n10\/15<br \/>\nInnocence upsets Neil.  He feels he must attack it, tarnish it, bring it down.<\/p>\n<p>\n<p>\nMitchell bought an entire Vanity Fair mag. simply because there was a Calvin Klein Marky Mark ad in it.  Whatever works, babe.  Whatever works.<\/p>\n<p>\n<p>\nI keep running into old flames.  I&#8217;ve only lived here for 6 months and I already have heaps of old flames, scattered up and down the Lake shore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s how I got my bum eye.&#8221; &#8211; Christian Scenes: Be IN the event.
