Howdy. Now, I know just what you're thinking: oh boy, as much time as Viggo has spent away from here I JUST KNOW he has a great excuse. IN FACT, I'd bet MONEY on it! Well, you'd be wrong. And broke. Still in Spain and still filming. It hasn't been all work and no play though. I've managed to get in some fishing (great streams in the mountains, wonderful trout) and have been spending most of my off time hanging out with various old friends as well as new co-stars and crew members. Between that and some of the press I've been doing for the movie I haven't been getting that much time to myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, it's been great. Sammy - I have June 4th marked on the calander. What a beautiful dress. :) Onto something that has nothing to do with the rest of the entry, because let's face it, it wouldn't be a post by me if it made complete sense -- Are you kidding me with this? Just ...what? And what kind of toy could that possibly have inside? Perhaps there are some mysteries which are better left unsolved. |

I am so upset! dad was totally unfair to me the other day and now I'm grounded :-(. Oh and csokas added another meme to their journal. GOD I HATE THAT!!!1!one!This entry automatically generated by the LJ Drama Generator! Ah gee whiz. My parents are total squares. Not too much to update. I got in yesterday morning and I think I've caught up on my sleep now. Hopefully I'll be seeing more of you (and I'm sure I'll be seeing too much of some of you, perverted cunts that you are) this weekend. Oh and Lij - I talked to Henry earlier and he says he can't wait to see Sin City. YOU BETTER BE HERE THIS WEEKEND OR ELSE!!!1!one! |

Writing this from the plane. I should be arriving in Spain before too long and thought I'd take the opportunity to update this thing. I'm happy that I'll be in Spain again. It's a beautiful place, like no other, and I've missed it more than I realized. It's hard to put into words how I feel when I'm there. I assume most of you have read Sean's post and know what the deal is there. It is really for the best in the end and I'm glad that it was a conclusion we could both come to and amicably. I know that we'll be okay and that's what's most important to me - that we are able to still be there for each other. I'm feeling a bit sad about it but peaceful. And that's a good thing. My visit with Billy was quite enjoyable. It was really wonderful to see William so happy and content with his life. Mhairi truly is a blessing. Thanks for having me, Bill, and Mhairi is the sweetest. Billy is also more creative than he lets on, so take it under advisement kiddies. Speaking of: I'm taking the present with me like I said, but not as carry on - because that would be weird. :) And I gave him that thing that you wanted, Karl. No, not that, the other thing. Perv. Congratulations to Sammy, that's wonderful news and I better be invited to the wedding! I'm sure there's more that I wanted to say that I'm forgetting. I'll be back in London by Friday. That's the plan. I can't wait to see everyone and I hope everyone is well. <3 |

Liv has gone, leaving a gaping hole in my heart and my world no longer making sense. Le sigh. :) I was thinking more on the Weekend Get-Together and thought that (assuming it's a go...which it better be! *threatens etc*) maybe we should extend it beyond just a weekend. Maybe have it from Friday to Monday or even a week if people can do that. I know most have obligations and even getting away for a weekend will be a miracle but the option for those who can would be great. Not to sound like a shmaltzy fuck but I just ...miss everyone and everyone being together. And I think it would be a really good thing... just seems important. Anyway, I think I could do more than just a couple of days although I'm not sure I'll be able to take a week from filming. But probably an extended weekend. Besides, I think four days with you fuckers will hold me over for quite some time. Think on it. People seem to be migrating to London already. Speaking of which, I believe Sean and I are heading there on Monday. William, I will call you and let you know if it's definite and just to bug you. |

It's been a while so let's see if I remember how to do one of these. Beanie and I have arrived in Minnesota safely. While not a huge part, it's still filming and he seems very excited and nervous. He's kind of bouncing around a bit. It's cute. ;) Oh, I mean, it's like so butch and stuff. *grabs myself and spits* I also hear that Psuedo-Wifey will be paying us a visit tomorrow! I can't wait - we've got a lot of catching up to do. We will be heading your way soon. You've been warned. I do have something I'd like to mention. It's not really something I've touched on and because I don't delve into certain areas much here it can lead to some confusion. Or so it would seem. So just to make my point of view on something clear: Cutting someone out of my life is not something I would do lightly. It takes a hell of a lot for me to get to that point -- but that point can be and has been reached before. It's not something done on a whim or because of a few select things or events, there would have to be many reasons. And certainly lack of trying on my part is never one of them. But every person has to decide for themselves where their limit is. How much they are willing to give or can give and where they draw the line; when enough is enough. I open up myself .. my time .. my life to many different people. This is a personal decision and a professional one as well. Because I like to talk to people, to know people. I like people. And I want to like people. With a profession like ours we are exposed to many people and situations and they may not always be ones we prefer. We may not like all of it but we learn to grin and bear it because it's our job to. However, when it comes to my personal life and dealings .. well, that's a different story. Happiness, generally, doesn't just fall into your lap. In the rare cases that it does it's wonderful, but most of the time it's something that has to be worked for and worked at. Repeatedly. Happiness seems to be the goal in most people's lives. It is certainly one in mine. But there are people out there who seem to just wallow in their unhappiness, to relish their misery; those who can only seem to feel good when they make everyone around them feel as badly as they do. I have no room in my life for people like this. I do what I can and then I accept the reality of the situation. If I feel that all options have been exhausted, that a sufficient amount of time and effort have been put into something, with no positive result or slightest chance of there ever BEING a positive result, then I can say that enough is enough. That is my limit. And I will curb my time spent with or near that person as much as possible. To break it down at it's simplest: Reasons for behavior are not the same as an excuse. You can rationalize your shitty behavior/s (and we're talking about the ones that hurt others, just to be as clear as possible here) as much as you'd like but that can only go so far, especially for the same repeated behaviors. And eventually it's not enough to dish out the whys anymore and then all that's left is - that it doesn't matter why you are doing it just stop doing it. And if you can't ..then I don't want anything to do with you. I don't have to accept it or subject myself to it. It's as simple as that. That concludes the heavy portion of the entry. In other news have you seen these? Type in any word or have it translate a web page for you, sure to provide hours of entertainment. For rizzle, bitches. I hope everyone is well. <3 |

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Valentines and was able to be with those who are near and dear. I certainly had a good day. All thanks to my wonderful Schmoopie Woopie! Don't let him fool you, he loves to be called that, really. Heh. I'm still waiting for my party invitation. I guess it got lost in the mail or SOMETHING. ;) So the plan is to head to Minnesota with Beanie next week while he's filming and then to England for a bit before I'm off to Spain for work. Hopefully we'll run into you at some point! Look! Space filler:

Most of the time I feel that I've got a pretty good handle on the things that are happening around me, the situations that arise, and can handle them fairly well. Generally I don't feel like there's too much that I can't figure out or deal with. But there are the occasional days where I feel like I want to stick my head in the oven. It's been an oven kind of week. Without getting too specific -- 'cause cryptic is like, so in -- some extremely emotional and upsetting situations have come up recently and it's been very difficult to deal with. I will say though, that feeling caught in the middle is shitty and I don't recommend it. It's a terrible feeling when you hurt your friends, especially when it's unavoidable. I know that rationally, but accepting that is always harder to do. I'm still quite upset and angry but every day has gotten a little better so hopefully it won't take too long for me to work out. I think the days I'll have to myself are a good thing. There is a phone call I want to make, to check up on a friend, that I've been putting off to allow everyone some space. Hopefully that's the right decision and I'll be able to make it soon. Beanie has left to visit Livvie (hiya sweetie!) for a little while. I'm glad that they can spend some time together. I know he's been very excited for it and I think the she could really use the support right now. But Liv, if my man ends up being hugged to death, you'll have some 'splaining to dooo! ;) Pilar has threatened physical harm if I don't return her phone calls and look over the three hundred and twelve faxes she's sent me in the last couple of days, so I expect to be spending the next few days working and getting things for the company in order. <3 |

Different. That is what we claim. Things will be different this time. Words cast out like a life line to the drowning. I promise. Different is what I tell myself as well. What do you want? Just when I am certain suddenly things are not so simple. I will try harder. I will try harder too. This must work. No more silent suffering no more secrets. I want to talk about the hows and whys. Past deeds to be layed out in the open, like an animal gutted, leaving no room for misunderstandings. Be firm and not let unkind actions go unsaid. Leave no choice but to own up to his transgressions and I must own up to mine. I want to talk about the problems. I want to pretend they don't exist. Was it really so bad? No. Yes. I never know what you're thinking. Already things feel different. His hand fits over mine differently. His smile is different. A stranger that's more familiar than myself. Tell me what you're thinking. How can things be different after all that's happened and how could they ever be the same... |

So it seems everyone and their dog is migrating to LA. We should all get together, immediately. Do it or else. *makes a fist* That reminds me: Miranda! Are you still coming over this weekend? Let me know what time your flight gets in and I'll pick you up. Beanie is here as well and eager to see you. Speaking of Beaniepoo - and I encourage everyone to refer to him as such - he's been here for a few days now I'm very happy he made it out. We really needed the time to talk and work on things a bit, it's been quite nice. However, I didn't miss some of his more dodgy music selections. |

I really don't have too much to update about. I'm inbetween projects at the moment -- just got back from Montreal and I'll be heading to Spain in the spring. Some fucker is coming by for a visit on Monday. Which reminds me, Pete, I hope he hasn't swayed your opinion too much. I know how hard he's trying and it's got me very nervous. Really. *cough* I'm sending you a present, it should be there in a few days. And to ruin the surprise for you, it's a box of dog poop - for old times sake. You're welcome. Oh and ...I kinda miss you guys. A little bit. Tiny bit. Our chat was uh interesting and I hope we get to hang out some time soon. Leave Elvis at home. :) On a side note: I typed "Evils" at first. It's a sign. I hope you're feeling a little better and I'm glad that we talked. Feel free to call me anytime, Psuedo-Wifey. ;) I'm glad that we got to talk too. Don't get too excited. You'll be here in a couple of days but I just wanted to take the time to say: the Blades suck and I'm stocking nothing but "that shite American beer" that you love so much. See you soon, Bean Curd! :D As for everyone else, how YOU doin? |

You know how at times you become very busy and very involved with projects and naturally you get distracted and forget certain things? Well, I forgot I had a journal. Whoops. Then I read entries like this and figure I blocked the memory and with good reason. In other news, I think our PJ has a man crush. Aww. I hope it's me. Sort of. I know better though. Sigh Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. Oh and count me in. |

The other day Henry was watching something on VH1 and called me into the room. He pointed out that Dom was on I Love The 90s and I told him he was mistaken because I don't know anyone that dances like that. Speaking of Henry, he's been telling me some jokes. His latest gem? Why do all the chicks dig Jesus -- because he's hung like this *stretches arms out* I've raised him well. We'll be traveling to NY this weekend and then on to Denmark and staying for a couple weeks. Staying with family for two weeks, can't wait. All kidding aside though, it will be nice to see everyone again and I've learned to take their 'advice' and criticsms with a grain of salt. And a lot of tequila. Hope everyone is doing well and travels safely. Be careful out there, I hear the animals are restless. |

I've been neglecting this thing lately. I'm sure I'm fired, but I have an excuse -- I swear! I have been spending much of my time getting some personal things in order as well as dealing with a few family issues. Any free time has been spent with Henry. I've also signed up for another project, an adaptaion of John Wagner and Vince Locke's graphic novel called A History of Violence. It's the story of a father who ends up killing a man in self-defence at his diner and the fallout that it causes for himself and his family, largly due to his past. I really liked the story and it sounds very challenging. WHERE IS SALA?! The man updates even less than I do and that is, frankly, unnerving. |

Still alive and sure to be having nightmares involving this. So, thanks for that. I'll be going to LA in a few days. Henry doesn't have much longer before school is out and I've spent as much time in London as I need to. It's time for me to head home. I hope everyone is doing well and that those who are traveling do so safely. |
