Oh my goodness I am so sorry that it has taken me so long to write!!!
Sometimes when there is so much going on on the personal front, one
does not know what to talk about. It's all too loaded or not
appropriate or basically not for public consumption. "Capiche?", as
Piper says or "Know what I mean, jelly bean?" as my mom says (to me
anyway) or "Do you understand what I'm saying?" which is what I say
boringly and with way too much seriousness, as usual.
A -N -Y HOO, I am jetlagged. I was asleep from 12 until 2am but then
moved to the bed and nothing could get me to sleep. Not bad tv, and I
mean REALLY bad esp. as we currently only have four stations, or
cards, even though I was losing...so I got up made toast, emailed P
and thought what a perfect opportunity to write to strangers around
the world!
Oh by the way, I am pregnant; which I have no doubt many of you know
from the ridiculous tabloids around the globe but it so happens to be
the one thing out of so much of nonsense, that is true. And I am very
excited. And I am very fat.
So this year has not been about work at all really but about endings
and beginnings and change and growth and pain and happiness and
ultimately SLOWING DOWN. I do not mean that so much on the work
front, although it has been a gift to not have to put on a brave face
in front of the camera, but more on a personal front. Taking stock of
what is important to me, what matters, what I actually want my life
to look like.
It's hard to remember sometimes that it is our CHOICE! I have spent
so much of my life responding to what is happening to me from the
outside instead of instigating things from the inside based on who I
am and what my beliefs are and what I want my world, my days, my
little unit of life to look like. And it takes time and space and
breath and patience to be able to listen to be able to even HEAR WHAT
ONE WANTS, let alone make the necessary adjustments in order to
create the shift.
So I am creating space to write. Finally my GOD when is she going to
get that damned project off the ground?!!! How many years has it been
now?!! What the hell is taking her so long! Yeah well, life. The 'L'
word (the other one). And of course, CREATING LIFE. Which, I have to
say, the first time round I was oblivious to the miracle and the
stages and the joy. I mean, honestly, I cannot remember P kicking!
Was it the hours, the FX smoke, the dummies with maggots eating their
eyes out? What distracted me from such an important and momentous
experience!?
And so it looks like that's gonna be it for the rest of the year.
Birth and "Speed of Light" and rest and "Last King of Scotland" comes
out Sept./Oct. and in the new year, around the time I have hopefully
shrunk back down to something resembling a human
being, "Straightheads", and then it looks like finally, filming
on "NO One Gets Off In This Town". I love that script. Was looking
forward to doing it in a fat suit but looks like it's gonna push. No
really.
And as far as the X-F movie? I have no f****** clue. I think there's
still a law suit, as far as I know the script has not been written,
and as much as we all want it to take place as soon as possible, AND
YES THAT INCLUDES ME, AND ALWAYS HAS, SO STOP WITH THE NONSENSE! It
is out of my hands. Completely. Write to Fox guys, tell them to make
it happen!
Okay it's 6:30 am and I think we're gonna walk the dog (
STAFFORDSHIRE bull terrier and no I don't own snakeskin boots) and
maybe breakfast in an empty restaurant while reading the papers.
That's it for now and hopefully it won't be so damned LONG before I
write again. Oh and I just got a letter from Samson who has graduated
with honors and going into the graduate program and who I think will
be writing to all of you who supported his education through the
years to thank you. You guys have no idea how awesome it is for
someone who has come from sleeping in front of the refrigerator on
the floor of a shack in the South African ghetto to be going to
graduate school. I mean can you imagine?!!! And also remember that
there are still more students who could have the opportunity to do
the same but they do need continued fund raising support. Thank you
for everything you guys do. You should be so proud of yourselves.
That's really all for now.
Till soon,
Gill.
