What happened since January 2009?
Well... I caught MRSA, it wiped me clean of savings, I got evicted from my apartment in Silverlake, an actor I was dating let me move into his house in Venice Beach, I was broke, miserable, suicidal and poor for a year, but I gave up drinking and started screenwriting (that was unrelated). I earned about 5k in 2009 and was supported - begrudgingly (I don't blame the begrudgement part, bit annoying to have me end up on your bill) - by the actor. I was homeless for most of 2009, living on sofas etc - end of 2009 I wrote a script which never got made but gave me enough cash to rent a place in Venice with two former junkies. I got a dog called Mr Chips, I wrote a few more scripts, I wrote two plays, I suddenly started earning money, and then I stopped earning money when Camden council slapped me with a 7.5k GBP bill for major works on the flat I own in London. So now I'm still living in Venice, but moving back to London in March for work. And in case you're wondering, I'm still not drinking, and I'm still broke, but I've managed to reduce the Camden bill down to 4.5k. However, now I need to find 714 bucks before the start of January to pay for a flight back to London so I can do this TV drama pilot scheme for a UK channel. Yes, they are paying me. But they won't pay me until I hand the script in, come June.
So that's what's happened so far in my life. I didn't write this thing for a while as I've been writing other stuff and generally scraping by through life and every time I write, I seem to piss someone off, and it gets a bit much sometimes. It's quite hard for even me to believe I'm meant to be clever as I do end up in some shit.
Anyway, I'm in Venice, California. I live with my dog, and Billy (63) and Lori (40) the nicest people on earth. I'm no longer dating the actor. I have debt but it's going down. I still do yoga everyday and I don't drink or do drugs, but I'm quite happy about you lot doing it, so feel free. All I want for Christmas is enough money to get my flight home so I can schmooze with the TV lot and write a pilot and make some money.

Some guy called Rocky Roads just called me. I must go attend to his call.
