Emily's year in review

It's time for the old 2007 wrap-up. This time last year I was getting a tattoo to remind me to stay focused on my goals and not lose myself again like I did in 2006.

So here I am, 365 days later.

I made my first short film. I don't have it yet because my editor has fallen off the face of the planet with my footage.

I wrote a cool script with Writing Partner. We're still working on the kinks but all in all it's solid material.

I wrote most of zombie script that I am now calling Not Dead Yet. I think it represents a turning point writing wise for me because it's more solid than anything I've written in the past. I think I finally have an action script worthy enough to pass around town.

I wrote a script that sucked. We'll not discuss that anymore.

I fell in love.

I got dumped.

I got depressed.

I got better.

I went on a horrifyingly bad date.

I went on a mediocre date.

Due to some poor financial decisions, my credit score sank like a mob informant locked in cement shoes.

I learned to do some cool kickboxing moves.

I got a new laptop.

I got mugged.

My car got broken into twice.

I moved.

I got worshipped by Russians.

I picketed with WGA writers.

I injured my foot and walked with a cane.

I tasered myself in the leg.

I danced.

I karaoked.

I made new friends.

I lost old friends.

I hung out with awesome Maggie at Battlestar parties.

I met some of you guys.

I had a couple of epiphanies.

Good things happened, bad things happened. In the end it all balanced out I suppose. I still don't know where I'll be at midnight tonight. I might be alone, I might be at a party, I might be swimming in the Pacific. But I'm looking forward to a new year and an opportunity to start again.

And there are some people I need to thank for helping me get through some of the tougher times. I would name them but then the people I don't name because I'm annoyed at them for being whiney and manipulative would get all mad at me.

But there are people who helped me this year, especially during some of the more difficult moments. You know who you are. Thank you.

Happy New Year, everybody! I hope 2008 gets you agents and contracts and stuntwork and TV staff jobs and lead roles in film and lots of candy!
