Why am I a nerd? For starters, last week I dressed up for the midnight show of Harry Potter (HP7p2). Rebecca and I went to a movie theater with a screen bigger than IMAX. We sat on the balcony so we didn't have to crane our necks up to watch all the goodness of the world. Also, Katy, Rebecca and I watched the last two and a half seasons of LOST, because Katy hadn't seen it yet. We finished last night. I teared up a bunch. Furthermore, I took a trip around the hill to Hollywood to go see HP7p2 at Grauman's Chinese Theater. It's a famous theater (Click here for info about it). I doubly geeked out, because it's The Chinese Theater and I saw HP7p2 in it.
Adding to the theme of my inner nerd, last weekend my family and I went to Disneyland and California Adventures. Dad was here on a business trip and Mom and Kal came with. I actually rode roller coasters. Yay! (The last time I was at Disneyland, I was five and roller coasters freaked me out. Disney World cured that a little when I was there in 9th grade) Pretty much I geeked out, because we were in a Disney park and it's Disney. I'm a Disney fan and turned into a little kid when I saw classic Disney characters walking around.
Now for the serious matter at hand. Just keep in the back of your head, that I'm okay. I was in a slow speed car accident and the car flipped onto the roof. I got out by myself and only had small cuts that are all healed now. My family had just flown into town, so Mom and Kal picked me up at the hospital. I went, because I wanted to make sure I was fully okay. It's a miracle that I'm okay. That was the same day I saw the midnight show of Harry Potter (there's my inner nerd).
What about my internship? I'm working with my professor on his documentary and on publicity for the LA program. I get to design a website and a brochure. Sweet!
Anyways, that's my life up to this moment. Sorry about not updating in...wow is that two weeks? My bad.

Driving, Class, First Day
Tuesday July 5
I drove to get home before class. It took a while, but not as long as driving down to San Diego. Everyone said bye to me as I walked out the door. I really do miss it there.
Classes were good. Geoff LaTulippe who wrote Going the Distance talked to us about the industry from the standpoint of a writer. I needed to hear that, because I want to be a screenwriter. It's a hard industry to break into, but I'm hoping to at sometime soon.
Wednesday July 6
First day at Perfect Weekend! I read a screenplay that last week's guest speaker in one of my classes co-produced with them. I loved it! Then, my boss gave me the dvd to watch. I think it did the script justice.
They have a cook there, so he makes lunch. I don't have to bring lunch. At all. I had pasta with a shrimp marinara sauce. Yum! After lunch, I moved supplies from one bookshelf to another and cleaned the first bookshelf. I was told I could leave early.
Traffic was crazy getting back. Didn't take me as long to go home as to go to work, but it still was a looooong time.
Katy, Rebecca and I went to Bob's Big Boy for dinner. It's one of those famous places where everyone has to eat, because it's old and famous people frequent there.

July 4th!
Happy Birthday, America! I love living here and being a citizen. We're a superpower and we have crazy awesome freedoms.
Aunt LaDan, Uncle Chris, their boys and their friend Laurie came by today. The boys were adorable as always. They swam in the pool and ran around the house.
I think I ate too much today. Actually, I did eat too much today. It's the nature of a holiday, especially a holiday where there's a cookout.
A bunch of us played this game called Dominion. It's this card game where the object of the game is to get as many land points as possible. I'm a fan. We played that pretty much the whole afternoon. Afterwards, we had dinner. Again, sooo goooood.
After, we watched the fireworks over the bay. The house has a pretty sweet view from the back deck. I think the show lasted for half an hour. There were five stations with the same fireworks that were synchronized with each other and with music. We had a pretty good view of three of those stations. That show was fantastic!
A bunch of us made s'mores after. I didn't, because I didn't feel great. Too much food does that. I had a bite of one, though! It tasted delicious.
We all hung out before bed.

San Diego (7/3/11)
I love it here. It's beautiful weather and I'm with family.
Today, I went to church with the fam. So good!
After church, we went to lunch with my aunt and uncle's friend at the marina. We then got a tour of his boat he's selling. By boat, I mean a 55 foot boat that can be sailed all over the world. Its not a yacht, but it's close.
We came back and shopped for dinner and tomorrow. I got stuff to make my mom's really good couscous salad.
My aunt, uncle and cousin's best friends came into town today, but they're pretty much family. One of them lives in the area, so he's been hanging out with my fam all summer. We all cooked dinner and had a great time. Us girls watched Charlie's Angels. It's okay. It is July 4th.

Warner Brothers and a drive (7/2/11)
We went to warner Brothers!!! I had several geek out moments. We went to the museum, which is comprised of costumes, set pieces, props and models. I shall list the movies and what I saw in the museum.
Inception: snowsuit, the pinwheel and last will that were in the safe, model of the stronghold in the Alps in the snow dream.
Dark Knight: Batmsn suit, Joker outfit, masks, Joker nurse's outfit
Where The Wild Things Are: Monster costumes
Casablanca: the Oscar statue for Best Picture (that was a big geek out moment)
Harry Potter. Harry Potter took up the second floor. What I remember seeing: Hagrid costume, Fred/George costumes, Fred/Grorge candies, giant spider, bedroom under the closet, broom, Sorting Hat, giant egg from the Triwizsrd Tournament, Privet Drive sign, and a whole lot more. Honestly, there was so much I cannot remember anything.
We then went out into the Back Lot. Back Lot - where exteriors are shot on the lot. There are some practical buildings that can be shot on the inside, too.
Next stop: cars. I saw the flying Ford Angelina (car) from HP3, The Tumbler from Dark Knight, the Batmobile, the Mystery Machine and other cool cars.
Then we went into the prop/lighting department. There's some fantabulous pieces in there like some standing chandeliers that Peter the Great comissioned and there are 4-6 left and they have 2.
Last, we went into a sound stage. It's set up for Pretty Little Liars. I walked through the high school entry, cafeteria/English room and courtyard.
After all of that, I drove 3.5 hours to San Diego through traffic. It was supposed to be 2.5, but it's California so estimated times are never really true all the time. I finally got there! I'm staying at my aunt and uncle's, which is in Point Loma. (Aunt Tracy wants me to say she's one of my three favorite aunts). I love it here! They had food ready and I got to see my family. You have no idea how nice that is.
Anyways, today isn't over and I shall update lat.
