Anthony: Who are all of these men you keep thinking about?
Me: Will you please STOP reading my mind like that; it’s so disconcerting!
Anthony: Well, who are they?
Me: If you can read my mind, surely you know who they are.
Anthony: But I want to hear it from you, Jules.
Me: Okay, they are just a bunch of CEOs, film executives, producers and….
Anthony: I don’t like it.
Me: What? I thought you’d be proud of me!
Anthony: [potent silence]
Me: Oh. My. God. Are you actually jealous? I can’t believe it. Yes, you are jealous, aren’t you!
Anthony: Well I am a bit, actually. I don’t want you to want them to like you; it doesn’t feel right.
Me: Ants, there is absolutely nothing romantic going on, I can assure you. It’s you I want them to like, not me!
Anthony: That’s good then.
Me: So are we clear now?
Anthony: Sorry, Jules. I just don’t want to lose you.
Me: You couldn’t lose me even if you wanted to, Ants.
Anthony: So what do all of those guys think of me?
Me: They think you are wonderful, Ants – absolutely wonderful! Star material!
Anthony: You are so full of BS Jules.
Me: I’m meeting one of them tonight for cocktails because….
Anthony: For God’s sake, Jules – don’t do anything stupid.
Me: Gotcha!
That sounds most encouraging.
Yes but still unsure – I am one of 8 picked from 50 and that is wonderful. But I still have to submit a proposal to the film company. My advantage now is they know me. Wonderfully interesting experience!
So fantastic! Get it or not…what an incredible journey for you (and Ants of course). Go Jules…you continue to amaze and inspire! xoxo
I will keep you posted xxx
You and Anthony are brilliant. It’s amazing how he can speak through you because you know him so well.
Wonderful.
If they don’t choose you, send them to me and I will upbraid them.
Will do!
🙂
Congrats! That’s most exciting news!
