Maybe a book would be nice.

I really love to write and recently I started a fuilm but only got two lines worth and some actions, so it's only thirty seconds long so far. And the character was supposed to be a struggling writer (know anyone else like that *wink*)

It's supposed to be a film called "Fairy Tale Freak Out" about three friends who each get warped into a fairy tale. Brian, the struggling writer character, gets warped into "The Little Mermaid" (it's more like a book than a fairy tale, but still...), then Sophie becomes Cinderella and goes to a benefit dinner with her Prince Charming, and Liz becomes Snow White.

Since I onyl got two lines worth and they were both for Brian, maybe it would look better as a book than a movie. And I've never written a book before. I have written adaptations from books before, just one actually, and it was "Teh Night Before Christmas. So it was a short film.

But if I were to write a book, I wonder if it would be worth reading. When you think of the plot, it might be something one might want to read. Hell, it might be something Julie might want to read.

Though, I still don't know. Would any of you read a book if it was about fairy tales coming to life trapping three friends into them?

Here's another one for Julie.

I finally got a picutre taken for me of the picture I made for the art show. It's a watercolor on a 6" x 6" paper that was submitted to a show called "The Big and Small Show". Also actually known as "No Middle Ground".



It's just the way I described two posts ago and I saw many people looking at it. I had other two that night and every fifteen minutes or so I went to where my pictures were and saw people looking at it and thought, "I hope they vote for it". But it didn't win.

And since it was called "Thank You, Julie Powell.", that's why I thought it was the most meaningful of my three. It was all because of an extroardinary lady following in Julia Child's footsteps why I began to follow my goals again and continue with what I have a passion for.

It wasn't just a dream.

When I submitted my pictures to the art show, I had painted them on a Tuesday night. Then I submitted them on Wednesday, and the show was on a Friday.

That Tuesday night, I had a dream.

But before I get to that, you'd have to know what happened Friday night. We had a thing at the show where we did a People's Choice Awards thing that night. And it wasn't in any connection with the actual award show on TV last week. But at Friday's show, people vote for their favorite piece and it wins.

So Tuesday I had a dream where I was at Friday's "Big and Small Show". (Also called "No Middle Ground".) And at the reception, Julie Powell came in herself. It wasn't like the other dream I had where I was having lunch with Julie because that was still Amy Adams AS Julie. In this is was actually her. She saw the piece I did called "Thank You, Julie Powell." and voted for it and it won.

And I know it couldn't have actually happened whereas two days later, she would actually be there. But it felt real. I kept going to the wall where it was hanging and looking at it just thinking to myself "I wonder what Julie would say if she saw this." and also "Julie would really love this.".

I still have to get some sort of picture of it and post it, but I don't have one right now.

And to explain what the title means is that Julie was there that Friday night, but in my heart. I would say spiritually, but Julie is very much alive obviously.

"Thank You, Julie Powell."

OK, so I'm an art intern and student. I intern in an art gallery. And there was show we had recently and I contributed another homage for Julie Powell...again. I painted three pictures total and one of them was very meaningful and the one I was most proud of. I'd show a picture, but I never got one. I'll try to post one if I can some time.

Anyway, it was on a cut-down piece of paper to a 6" X 6" size. It had a black painted computer keyboard in the middle. On the top side of the paint it said "Writing" and on the bottom it said "Again". And I called it "Thank You, Julie Powell".

People were asking me about it and I loved telling the story of how much I started writing again all because of Julie and how I started a blog because of her.

Julie, this would be a painting that I think you would love. I already lost my USB plug in that had "Just Like Julia Child" on it in which I was dedicating that to you. You are a big part of my life, I love you, and I would not be a writer for the second time if it wasn't for you. I can't wait to meet you and I also can't wait until you see my blog.

Once again, but not forever...Thank you, Julie Powell.
