Busy being busy
R. says she thinks I "have this desperation to keep yourself busy to the point of weirdness", that when "you stand still you think you don't exist". Really I just keep saying "yes" to too much. Really.
Things I've said "yes" to this week: staying in Chicago (well, I said "no" to NYC), directing a sketch comedy show (more on that soon, I'm sure), making dubs of a 100 different tapes for 100 different people, and remembering that I said "yes" to a fast filmmaking project a few months ago. That project is turning out to be much more complicated than I had thought.
When I do the Fast Forward, for example, I'm only screwing over myself and a few of my close friends if what I turn in isn't great. It's very freeing. But with the way this Challenge is structured I'm responsible for the success of writers and actors I've never met before. Eek.

Would've thought that NYC would have been a good opportunity for you. But I hope whatever you do, you're happy doing it. Not your friends, not your significant other, not your roommate, but YOU, Fuzzy. You would have been missed, of course, but I think a lot of doors would have been opened for you. Be a little bit more selfish about your happiness, or you'll never truly find it. Have to say I agree with R.
