it's early

Wow, it's kinda been a while. My trip back south was incredible. Reuniting with so many family and friends it just, it's so refreshing and heartbreaking at the same time. I think the hardest part was that we were only in one place for a few days before we would move on and drive somewhere else. I only got to spend 8 hours with the Weeks family (my cousins and great aunt and uncle) at their house. Ret (short for Garrett) who is 9 collapsed onto my lap in a hug when he found out we were leaving, he thought we were staying for a longer time. I miss them so much. I hate being so far away. Then finally meeting Jill. Jill is my Mom's best friend who is 10 years younger than my Mom. I really felt like I met her for the first time, the last time we had really talked was when I was young and I don't remember it at all. We stayed at her house in Tucker (near atlanta) the longest. She actually ended up flying here the next week to see Elizabeth's opening night of High School Musical.

Then there was the modeling thing. I had emailed the guy before I left, he had emailed me back once, and it seemed really encouraging. He said he wanted to see some more pictures to get a better idea of what I looked like. When I got home though, I found the email I posted below. It's frustrating, just knowing what he said, essentially if I lived in any city bigger than Des Moines, it would happen. I have a "marketable" look. I guess that dream will just have to go back on its shelf for now.

The thunderstorm just ended, it was so nice listening to it. I hope it will start again.

Oh, I finished Harry Potter yesterday. 784 pages in 8 hours, 2 hours the night it came out then 6 straight hours yesterday. It's funny, I didn't even notice the time going by, other than getting up for more tissues due to crying or going to the bathroom, I didn't move. I love when a story can capture me so much that the outside world is just gone, time doesn't matter, it's just about what's happening to the characters that I love. I love books I hope that I will always be a reader, right now it's tough, with working all the time, but I try to at least read 5 books a month. That doesn't happen at school, but I take my favorites with me all the same.

I work in 3 1/2 hours, I guess I should go back to sleep. Get a few more hours in before I start my day officially.

Love
Catherine

damn it

Hi Catherine,

Thank you for your submitting some additional photos for me.
You certainly have a marketable look and are very attractive
but unfortunately I currently represent someone that shares
a very similar look to yours. Your age group is also very
tough at this time as I represent quite a few late teens/early
20's but don't see a lot of work for the age group.
Since the Iowa market is so small, I’m just not confident
I’d be able to provide you with enough bookings
(job opportunities) to make it worth your time to get
involved. Our agency also works directly off commission
which makes us very selective in who we represent since
we want to make sure there will be opportunities for
both of us to make money. I will certainly keep you in mind
should my needs change in the near future and
contact you with any possible opportunities
that I feel you may have an interest in. Thanks again for
your interest!

Thanks,

Steven R. Myers
