Today was meant to be easy and all about Langford. He had an awards show and is being honoured for his script. His mother had flown in from England especially and arrived 5 days beforehand in order to tackle her jet lag. Somehow the day became about trying to work out when my mother and sister were arriving because they had suddenly decided to come to LA and wanted to come to the awards show but both of their flights got delayed and canceled which meant that they were now arriving at the time we were meant to be at the event. Stress. Langford begged to know why my family were always capable of causing drama but I could not reveal the secret that his been handed down, generation to generation, because I do not know it. It is just ingrained in our blood. In the end some strict decisions had to be made. My sister was going to be able to make it just in time, but we could not wait for my mother. So off we went.
The ceremony was great and Langford looked wonderful up on the screen, talking about his screenplay. Actors then performed a reading of a key scene and the audience responded really well, laughing at all the appropriate moments. A top Hollywood writer came up to Langford and told him that he was really talented and by far the best. Aferwards we ate under the stars on the UCLA campus and my sis and I ate a lot. We talked to writers and professors and then we headed home. On the way home we dropped my sister at the hotel and had a cup of hot chocolate with my mother who had just arrived. It all worked out in the end and Langford's mother had a great evening seeing her son up on screen and winning a star award. What a star.
