Dear Dairy,

Ted offered to help produce CL. He's got a digital camera and a fancy editing system. Now I just need a cast, so...

Auditions are now open for CL. If you know me in real life and have been following my CL rants for a while now, I'd be happy to let you audition. Please call or email me and we'll set up a time. Have a scene or monologue prepared--if you're called back, I'll have you read sides from the actual script. Bear in mind that there are only two major female parts, and I may be playing Aurora. Still, we need soldiers, Woozlenose puppeteers, etc., etc...You've always wanted to wield a sword, right? Well, this is your chance.

This may seem a little sudden, but it's an oppurtunity that we can't pass up. It's time to take the reigns of this project--hey, maybe Tim Burton will see it and give us a real budget. Now I just have to actually finish the script.

I think I'm going to end this weblog now. I feel fufilled, for now, and I promised myself I'd stop when I got definate news about CL. And now I do.

In these eleven months since I've started I've seen diaries come and diaries go. When I started this, I wrote very haphazardly, with no real news or humor about what was going on in my life. I gradually settled into my blogging style, getting better blog designs and letting my readers know more about what was going on in my life.

There were hardships. Sometimes homework or parents prevented me from going on the computer. CL entered and complicated everything. I longed for adventure, but in a way, my regular, everyday, dreamy life was in itself an adventure. And in a way I've learned to appreciate that.

In a way I've regretted never hitting a year on the blogging front. It will feel like a vital part of my routine is gone in the days following. But all good things must come to an end, and now it's time for me to turn my full attention onto CL.

I hope that many reading this audition. I hope that many reading this come back and visit the archives. I hope that you related to this in some way to something I wrote during these long eleven months. Maybe something I wrote made you laugh. Or cry. Maybe you understood something I was trying to say, or didn't understand it but thought it was good writing anyway.

I'm glad you stuck with me. These past few weeks have been tough, but I'm glad you stuck around to listen to my ranting. I hope and I pray that some day, months from now, at least one of you will be sitting in a movie theatre...

The lights will dim...

And the words Cousinly Love will be cast unto the screen, and you will see my full name, my face, and my dreams and words at last.

I'll see you then.

Always like to keep you envious.

"The world is quiet here."

Anna

Please just look back c Should I go forward to come back to you?
