Untitled #1

First, I would like to say thank you to all of my loyal readers. I know who you are because you comment, or just plain tell me that you read it. I really couldn't have done this without you. You are what make all of this worthwhile. I sign into my blog everyday holding my breathe in the hope that someone has commented. . . and I am rarely let down! In fact I have always had a loving comment waiting for me, unless of course I am talking about my internship or about animation. Really people, this is the reason I am down here in the first place. But no! Do not fear or tremble in the corner; I still love you.
The curious reader may be wondering at this point why I am writing a thank you speech for myself. Smart reader! I am not just writing this to encourage those of you comment-shy folk to let me know what you think or what you want to hear about, I am writing this because it is awards season down here in L.A. and I am determined to be just as prepared as any actor off the street to accept an award (any award will do).
Now, wouldn't it be neat if I went to an awards show while I was here? I am after all trying to get into one part of the industry. I fear that this will not happen however. I blame my lack of connections and lazy agent.
But wait! What's this I hear? Gemma IS going to an awards show?! Unbelievable! Her ridiculous dreams of receiving an award may yet come to pass! Okay, in reality, probably not. Mostly because I haven't done anything deserving of an award.
What awards show you ask? No, not the Oscars. But this does not make it any less exciting for me. I am going to attend the Annie Awards on February 11th. Most people are probably starting to deflate a little after that build up because most people do not know what the Annie Awards are. They are the animation awards that ASIFA-Hollywood is responsible for holding every year. While I doubt Brad Pitt will be decorating the ceremony with his presence, I am quite excited to go because the people who will be there are like stars to me. I have one ticket for myself and one ticket for a friend. I have to admit it really wasn't a hard choice: I am bringing Alexis. Not only will she look great on my arm while we stroll down the red carpet (if there is one), but she will also make sure I am dressed and make-upped properly (something I must admit is not my forte). Not to mention I know this is something that both of us will enjoy.
So go ahead, be jealous. I promise to relay every detail of our thrilling night come February 12th.
